Default Scales or Blessing Effect?

What do you prefer? And why ...

I'm very undecided about, if pumping scales like growth, production, and so on, or pumping Pretender's magic to have better bless effects.

It depens how many sacred units do you plan to field ... if you are playing with ulm, as example, you don't need too much to bless you units!

Exactly. Or if you're playing Man (especially Last of the Tuatha), Marignon, etc. a bless strategy can make all the difference. What nation are you playing, Cohen?

Ulm, Abysya or Marignon ...

but Marignon could have Fires of Faith and scales combo

I almost never use a Blessing strategy, even with nations that get good Sacred units.

Most nations can only recruit their Sacred units in their home province, which can be very far from the front lines in a long game (and most of my SP games are on very large maps).

With Marignon I think blessings are quite useful. Not Ulm, and I dont think Abyssia. But like many things in this game it depends on your playing style. If you USE the sacred troops alot for Marignon then adding blessings can be useful. If you are having more fun with fire-magic items added to assassins then probably not.
