Frankly if I was unit I would definetly paint that little icon on me. I'm sure the sacred units can demand a lot more respect out of the average peons.

I wonder if priest are sacred?? hmm...

Respect, yes. But you also get paid less proportionally to your hiring/build cost. Recall upkeep for sacred units is 1/30 of hiring price, and 1/15 for normal units.

So on the same cost basis, your non-sacred collegues are earning twice as much salary as you, lol.

Well, I noticed by gaming experience that all thos stats of units, are totally worthless.

Mid-Late games ruled by Pretenders, SCs and powerful mages.

Cohen, I'm curious what kind of games you play that would give rise to your viewpoint.

I'm willing to believe that perhaps regular units are completely obsolete by the end of a long game on a huge map, but my (somewhat limited) experience has been that top tier national units continue to be useful throughout the entire game on many maps.

A very good point

So maybe it would be better to be the Tower Guard with a nice coushy pension than the blessed Lava Warrior waiting to be trampled by routing elephants.

Of course with the paint you could simply pretend to be sacred when situation would benefit from it.

Yes, but then you get reported as bugged, and people would stop recruiting you. Then you'd be COMPLETELY unemployed.

Nah, you'd be an exploit and be abused.
