Thanks for the help guys.

Oh yes I have one more question. [I am dumb noob

] How can I bless my units? Also I can bless all units or ?

I wasn't aware that Ctis had strong sacred creatures so I wouldn't have thought death 9 would be a powerful option. All your sacred creatures who you are giving fear to are archery bait and given how commen indie archers are . . . Life after death would be cute for turning all your living into dead so versus the ai why not. Part of the fun of playing the AI is designing a heavily thematic race. However Ctis doesn't strike me as the ideal race to do this with - but then I'm new to Dom II so who knows what I've missed.

Niefelheim Jhotun with Death 9 - so your terrifying giants come back round again - would be cute. Especially if Death 9 has signifcant other advantages which I simply don't know for sure at this point. I do seem to remember that a number of undead summon rituals used to be boosted by high death.

Forgive me for doubting you DominonsFan but I wonder if this is a trick question designed to see if I'm an idiot - if it is serious you will have to spell out your idea's more as its a subject I'm interested in and if you got some good idea's going . . . spill it out man.

Ctis is going to be my next race choice as I've always had a soft spot for it and the Tombs theme looks really entertaining. However the high demands of family life make the process of learning slower than I might like.

cheers

No, I am really a noob, and you looked like an experienced player.

Okay, now can someone please help me? How can I bless my units? Or it is working automatically? (Bless effects via the starting magic)

priests can cast bless / divine blessing, does it answers your question?

Note that if you are trying to bless unholy undeads (like Tomb Wyrms), you need to use Blessing of the Grave, Royal Blessing, or whatever the Ermorian Versions are. For this you need an unholy priest, such as a Tomb Priest, Tomb King, or Bishop or Archbishop of Eldregate.

Ok so I must recruit priests, and they will cast bless on my troops? Than, depends the magic school and power, the units will have additional bonuses?

Like +9 death will give life after death for the troops? Also all troops will have that bonus or only sacred units will have it?

I am confused.

Only sacred units can be blessed.
