Elite warriors are probably even better than falchioneers at expansion in many cases.

Well, if all you've got on your wyrm is S1 it's not such a huge deal if he gets killed...at the point that someone's going to track him down to duel him he's probably not swinging many battles between not having items slots and not being able to cast many buffs, but I could be wrong as to how effective they are, SCs aren't my strong point...

For low-prot holies like Dancers and Flags, what about something like A9/F9 to protect them for archers?

You don't reaslly need as high as A9 do you? I can't see how lightning protection is going to really help you so surely it's better to take A6/F9 (or A8/F9? I can't remember exactly when the air blessings go up) and put all those extra points into better scales?

I agree with you. I just threw A9 out there, since 9 is the usual high-end bless.

I'm hoping someone will chime in on whether an air-bless like this is worthwhile for these naked sacreds.

f9/w9 Solar Disk with sloth 3/death 3 is easily doable with serpent dancers and it's not bad at all actually. I should point out, Ctis also gets sacred summons as well so consider adding those into your game. I know qm takes blesses one step further and goes f9/w9/a4 to really push it but it was too expensive for my tastes. However, the dancers really shouldn't be underestimated.

I don't think anyone is saying that Serpent Dancers are bad, just that basing a bless strategy around them is bad. With a f9w9a4 bless, they are still too vulnerable to archers, which those taking on C'tis will be using alot of to take advantage of C'tis's lack of missle units. It might be a somewhat useful strategy for blitzes, but even in them it is a dangerous strategy to pull off.

Try it out first. I definitely think the strat is good enough to be valid in a non blitz MP game.

I actually tested it before I posted what you were responding to. Granted it was not an MP game. I stand by what I said. The main reason it is a valid strategy is because it is unconventional. An opponent is unlikely to expect a high bless move by C'tis. Putting on a higher air bless would solve alot of problems, but of course that is expensive. Moreover, unless you plan on putting an earth bless on them too, any nation with a cold scale or access to wolven winter can just throw crap at them until they tire out. We will obviously have to agree to disagree.

And yes, Elite Warriors are better than Falchioneers. Falchioneers have trouble hitting things with only 8 attack skill.
