Pangaea advice

I wouldn't go for a bless strategy with Pangaea, since they only have the one sacred combat unit. But if I did go with a bless strategy, I definitely wouldn't use the nature blessing that some have suggested, since it will make your Dryads, Pans, an Hierophants into berserkers rather than the spell casters you mostly want them to be. And your sacred centaurs already have basic berserking anyway.

Losing a few dryads to berserking isn't crippling, and careful positioning of them can minimize even that. Hierophants on the other paw have such minimal priestly spell casting that them going berserk wouldn't be such a bad thing - they're better for combat than priesting, except against undead.

Pans I'd be concerned about losing to berserk - but unless I'm mistaken, the only ones you have to worry about are the Pan you make your prophet, and Carrion Lord/Lady/Centaur summonables when playing Carrion Woods. Regular Pans aren't sacred, albeit with CW I don't take nature above 3 because with it, almost all your commanders could go berserk. (Again, Carrion Centaurs you'd probably want going berserk, but not Lords and Lazies.)
