2 attack 18 flaming morning stars(thats taking weapon penalties into consideration)

They get more attack and strength in hot lands as well.

Death bless might affect damage taken from the Fire Shield. It's been mentioned a few times. If it DOES work, Death bless is very nasty for EA Abysia.

The attack and strength also took into account heat 3, i forgot to mention that. If fireshield does work with death bless then that is just evil, e9n4d4+ burning ones could just walk into combat and stand there, attacks bouncing off their armour and crippling the attackers.

They are very awsome. Will beat most things at similar gold cost... resource cost is a differnt matter, you'll be hugely outnumbered and tired in huge battles.

In comparison, white centaurs are easier to dominate the early game with because 10 white centaurs cost less reources than 3 Burning ones, and are also faster on the map.

I know they are awesome, im playing EA abysia in the newbie game (not with that bless based strat but still...)

My suggestion would be:
Caelum,
Rainbow sage (2-2-2-2-4-3-2-1)
Order 3
Prod 2
Death 3
Cold 2
Misfortune 3
Magic 3
Dom 5

Idea is to research evocation (2 for lightning bolt, 4 for thunder strike). Build 2nd fort ASAP to hire more mages. Against Niefel's it's easy, just enough screening troops to let your mages electrocute the giants. Against Helheim you need to recruit mammoths. They can hold for quite a while vs helherdings and let mages electrocute them. If you reach evo-4, things get pretty easy. Thunder strike is very effective.

The problem with this strategy is you just playing against Niefelheim/Helheim. If you meet somebody with mass of regular troops you're in trouble

I am not sure that this would work. With specific scales you can recruit huge amount of troops with helheim also. Not to mention that they have excellent and cheap d2e2r1 mages. [+ Some others but those are more expensive]
