Game write-up

You should note Rabe, that undead (I.E. Souless) have no upkeep. And a strategy was to take a 9 Death blessing, go into battle with your sacred mages, cast Breath of Winter and have your mages clustered around after being blessed, die and presto, no upkeep mages, priests, prophets, etc.

Also any sacred unit that becomes a soulless Version (Like Jotun Woodsmen, Battle Vestals, etc) gain the "Undead" blessing effect of Cause Fear and can suddenly turn the tide of a battle if a large section of blessed units are killed at the same time.

Hmmm. Can I put a shroud on a normally unsacred mage and have it come back as souless?

(Still don't know answer to the above)

More to the point...Can I put a shroud on say a black hunter lord and have it come back as a huge undead upkeep free spider and zombie rider??

(I just tested this ... the answer is no, no resurrection on hunters which I think is a serious bug)

Shouldn't all sacred units have souless equivs, given the life after death blessing?

Dammit. This is why I wanted the DS, at least there the blessing is useful....

I think one of the first mods I'm making when pretenders become eligible, is a cheap base3 god for each element avalable to each race...

(moloch-fire)
(titan, or new cheaper (roc?) for air)
(nereid/SotS/new immobile for water)
(cyclops/new cheaper (basilisk?) for earth)
(oracle for astral)
(PoD for death)
(divine serpent/greenman for nature)
(FoB for the femicidial maniacs out there)

It seems like thematic considerations shouldn't grossly interfere with basic bless effect potentials.

(*That* would be permutatively unthematic)

I love this game, this game makes me crazy.
