Taking 4+ Nature in the pretender of a nation with mage-priest such as Vanir or Arch-Theurgs is not a good idea IMO.

Do you really want to see your mages charging forward into hand to hand combat with their fists as soon as they suffer a scratch? The results can be painful!

Excellent point - thank you Wendigo. What would you have chosen for a dual-bless in such a scenario as I described? As an aside, my pretender in that game was the Divine Emperor.

Or would you not have bothered with dual-bless at all?

It seems like because the Vestals are such cheap Sacred units (good gold cost, perfect resource cost), I want to utilize them in the best way possible - but maybe a bless strategy isn't the way to play it at all. Any thoughts?

By the way, thank you Pocus for your insights as well. Hopefully I'll have my full copy of the game today (crossing my fingers for UPS to pull through) so I'll be able to test things more thoroughly this weekend.
