There are multiple differences between knights and wardens.

Yes, but...

The biggest one is stealth.

You don`t really need a heavy bless for stealth-raiding with 17 base prot. units.

And the warden is one of the most powerful recruit-able units with this ability. Only one that I can think of that might beat them out are revelers.

So what? Eriu can have even better stealthy force in their thugs.

As long as you go without mages, yes. "Chicken isn`t a bird" as they say in my country. Mother of Avalon isn`t a real combat mage, you need couple A3 crones, and crones have mapmove 1.

which depending on the map can dramatically increase you're flexibility

Dramatically? Well, if map consists of forests and nothing else - then yes.

21 vs. 18 standard damage. May not seem like much but it's important vs. higher protection units.

What high-protection targets are we talking about? If you run into Ulm early on - you`d better use knights anyway. Black Guardians obliterate wardens. And if you`ve taken a rainbow instead of high-bless - later on you can deploy a couple boosted crones with Destruction/Weapons of Sharpness. That`ll do you much more good against high-protection targets, while even with high E bless you risk your pretender to be late for the party.

What for? You need only 2D for lamias and climbing up D ladder. Do you think doubling affliction chance of a melee unit is worth the points?
