Best MA sacred unit

[MaxWilson]

Since we're talking hypotheticals here, yeah, the Vans will take slightly more damage per combat round from missiles (although shields help a lot), for fewer rounds (39 AP vs 7). I don't know in whose favor that works out, but the blazing speed of W9 Vans *does* help against missiles.

Also, consider that the low resource cost of Vans plus Vanir cold tolerance allows Vanheim to take worse scales and not really feel the pinch, while Arcoscephale will have to blow points on Production to make effective use of Heart Companions.

Edit: I didn't realize until just now that Heart Companions are capitol-only. That makes the gold cost of producing them nearly irrelevant; resources and Holy cost will almost certainly be your bottleneck. Vans are clearly a superior sacred IMO.
