H2 priests: Why, when, how?

[alhorro]

Milita and other living chaff are great for nations that can't convert gold into undead. You can rise taxes and patrol with them, compensating upkeep and providing corpses for your necromancers. You can gather them in your lab and gateway to the front, or to defend your own fort. You don't have to invest into PD — 100 militas with H2 priest can stop almost every single remote attack, including GR, AotD, HfH. They serve as a meatshield for your mages, swarmers for enemy thugs/SCs, spell decoys for your elite troops. I definitely prefer using only cheapest chaff and top-shelf troops such as wigths/trolls/demons, everything in between is just useless.
