When you are sitting, just sit...

I'm a big fan of the guys that just sit there. Keeps me from sending them out into fights they've no business messing with. And, yes, a pair of level 9 blessings is always nice. Zooko, you've named a couple of my Favorites. Get some Niefel giants blessed with a Gift of Health up, every one of them is a 100+ hp regenerating berserking resisting beast.
I actually liked the Knights of the Chalice better than Flagellants with the Baphomet. While the idea of the Flagellants was beautiful, in practice it seemed that four or five flaming never-missing fate-twisted high-protection knights did a much better job mopping up indies without casualties. Unfortunately the game crapped out, so I never actually got to see how they did against other real people...
The other game I'm in with an immobile deity is a F9S9 Flaming Glyph heading up Abysia. The paths might sound redundant, but that blessing on the Lava Warriors was quite handy and it was very nice not to have to work for Wish. That game is pretty much over (my first or second MP game, too) courtesy of the little burning doodle, so it can't be that doomed a strategy.

I've found immobles work well with blood hunting nations like mictlan, teleport them into a good blood hutning province, send the blood hunters in the same turn, and start the hutning fast, with no micromanagement from scouts.

I love Fire-9, Astral-9 blessed knights and paladins against independents, but so far (in my first multiplayer game ever), they haven't been worth their price went sent against an enemy human.

Actually, there *was* one time that a White Knight got behind the lines and cleaned up half-a-dozen enemy mages. That was worth his price!
