Default Re: Perpetuality - 62 Player MegaGame (Started)

There are many nations - Niefelheim, Mictlan - where bless is THE CHOICE.

This doesn't bother me, because - if you penalize bless, then other nations (LA T'ien Ch'i, MA Ermor for example) where bless is viable but far from a no-brainer, bless becomes useless.

Now, there is a *perception*, common among people who don't play much into the late game, that strong bless is the only way to go with every position and that only the quality of your bless-rush even matters. Needless to say, I disagree.
