Default Re: Blood 9 Blessing: Beavis and Butthead for the first time

Yeah - Blood 9 is weak. The strength bonus has uses, but the Blood 9 part is just blah. If you are going to 9, the Fire, Nature and Water blessing almost always make for better offensive power units. I wouldn't mind giving them blood vengeance instead, or maybe life stealing attacks (similar to vampire life drain but no armor piercing - all holy melee attacks gain the attacker back life).

I was thinking of suggesting something similar to Saber's idea of the undead to make the Death 9 nicer. Keeping the unit the same makes sense, and add the undead attribute and 0 encumberance. If possible, all holy commanders should have some undead leadership, or give the reborn commanders some at least (or both). As a totally cosmetic but cool change - I'd really like a color palette shift on the unit similar to what happens for when the unit is paralyzed in battle to give them that "28 Days Later" zombie look. (Obviously new sprites for every unit to have an undead Version would be cool, but too much work). This way every unit would have an "undead" Version of itself that looks undead-ish, and the undead Versions of grunt troops will be worth something.
