You know, this whole question really points to how limited the bless strategies are.

Limited did you mean LIMITING as in they are limiting in the choices you have when you are setting up your game. If you meant the latter than I agree, to maximize your chances in a decent game you have to figure out your bless strategy.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Not only are you limited to 8 types of blessing, they're fairly arbitrary. You couldn't for instance begin the game with frost weapons with a water bless and improved perception with an astral bless, or bonus Hp with a nature bless. There's no real reason that something along those lines couldn't have been balanced into the game. I'm really hoping-and I've made some effort to convince others of the desireability-that we'll either see a (preferrably much) broader magic system soon or be able to mod in additional magic paths with their own types of bless.

Ok, I've had enough for today.

The results of today are: Helheim 1, Atlantis 0.

I'll try to get through another round of testing tomorrow.
