Blessings balance?

[BigJMoney]

That sounds insane. I hope I don't see that happening too often in my MP games. Troops with every level 4 blessing seems....well, retarded to me. At least the pretender doesn't come out for ~36 turns to rainbow search.

You mean the sleeping-god start?
I did that in Dom2. Im not sure what I can get in Dom3 using the new sleeping rules.

That kind of pretender is OK for ashen empire. as every gem may be alchemized to death to spawn more commanders.
its a standard to me in those themes.
in Dom3 you are not forced to have a sleeping god.

I wouldn't worry- level 9 blessings are generally quite a bit more effective.

That's a bit off-topic, but I always wondered...

What effect does Blood blessing have on Mictlan Sun Warriors ? They have javelins, you know. And both range and power of javelins are based on strength. If I remember correctly, range is strength/2.
The question is: does Blood blessing actually make javelins better ? It should increase their range, but does it have negative effect on accuracy or what ? I ask because it would make sense that it's harder to hit a target that's further away, and units tend to throw javelins from max range. So would Blood blessing work in my favor when using javelins ?
I assume Sun Warriors are still present in Dominions3.
