So what scales can you drop for a bless? Order & Productivity are required to build your sacred troops and death costs money too. Without money and resource, the number of sacred troops becomes to small to pay off the disadvantges...but then again I cannot see any bless strategy really working with most other nations either.

Now I'm no expert, but... I think it really depends on the size of the game. The longer the game, the more punishing bad scales are.

Hmm, I am playing small maps and I would say the exact opposite, since a large map means a long game and plenty of sites, thus plenty of gems and thus plenty of summons and magic, making ordinary troops obsolete (but that is just a naive guess of mine). I'd say that having money/resources early on makes it possible to conquer your enemy mainly with common troops on a small map (mid-game).

However, research is usually also limited by money for buying and maintaining expensive mages, so accoding to the music currently in my headphones I sing along "Counterfeit dollars or english zloty, anything I can get. I want more!"
