Machaka and a W9 bless

[chrispedersen]

Oracles and FOBs are always the best chasis for full double + blesses, with occassional exceptions for national only gods.

Even so, the return on investment for machacka simply isn't there.
The spiders cost too much (especially in resources) to work well with the scales necessary to produce the bless.

I think machaka strengths are: (and I'm doing this from memory)

1. Low encumbrance spell casters, etc.
2. High mobility.. map move three archers...?
3. Good magic versatility.
4. Some free points due to heat preference.

Generally, I'd say your better approach is sloth, heat, and boost your income as much as possible. crank out castles and mages. Get into summons.
