Say, I've never really tried it, but I wonder why the blood bless is considered so weak? I understand that strength won't help much if units are unable to hit anything at all (take for example Agartha ^^) but when their attack skill is already satisfactory (Vanheim/Helheim) wouldn't they benefit greatly from strength boost?
And what exactly does 'Death Curse' mean? :S

It's not the minor blood bless that's considered weak. +2 to +4 to strength can be quite nice, especially vs. heavily-armored troops, although +4 to strength is also easily available via Strength of Giants, which costs no gems. That makes it a little bit less desirable of a bless than Fire or Water minor blesses (+att or +def), which AFAIK are available only via Quickness spells (which either cost gems or affect only a handful of units per casting) or indirectly via Darkness (which costs gems and doesn't help elite units).
But yeah, the B9 bless is weak. I can't speak as to whether B9 magic is weak because I don't typically play blood nations. I know I'm supposed to be playing an evil god, but if I think too hard about the blood slaves I start getting queasy.
