So a death bless negates the armor value of shields? That explains a *lot*.
It also means that archers with a death blessing would deal catastrophic damage to opponents. Are there any blessable archers in the game?

EA Kailasa's Yavana Archers
until now thought completely useless. I think A10D9 might work with them.
they could work quite nicely by themselves, or with chaff if necessary; and Kail has no shortage of chaff to choose from 
No need to rush for Gandharvas or Arrow Fend, you could get Celestial music fast. D9 blessed longbow archers with the high precision of the Yavanas firing twice a turn, you could place em so far to the back, and with a little chaff to stall stuff, they would empty their quivers. anything left alive would get killed by them in melee once they were finally reached.

Yeah, this is what I wrote up as my preferred usage of yavannas long ago.
The other interesting thing, is these archers make the fire and flee order interesting. On offense, its pretty self explanatory. Multiple successive F&F waves.
On defense, Keep high ration of leaders to archers. Concede the territory, but keep the force intact.
