... I'd, uh. BFEL, those "really damn expensive" sacreds are probably your most cost efficient unit, especially with an N bless, if you go that route. Should probably be producing as many as you can, every turn you can, for forever. I mean, helping the foe and all that, but. Yeaah. You don't just have a superpowered sacred, you've got what is probably the best sacred on the map, that likely has good odds of
soloing several sorts of indie provinces* with nothing but an H1 to bless it, nevermind actually using more than one at a time.
*I just tested this, actually.
One (1) wave exemplar with an N9E4 bless and the prophetized initial commander took an indie province on turn two. Province was militia and light infantry, plus a surprise azure initiate. Took a limp affliction from it, went on and blew up a province with light infantry, militias, and archers on the next turn. Went back home on turn four, picked up friends, started rampaging in earnest. Mate, these aren't just superpowered sacreds, these are bloody death beasts on legs that could probably rush half our nations and win, even
with everyone but us human nations having formorians.
At least for the early game, I'd personally rank Dheathdaich as the most terrifying thing on the map, even with
two three other nations having comparable sacreds. They're in second due to those ruddy dying/wounded forms.
E: And EH, you're one of the ones in second. You've got all of three hoburgs in your line up, only one of which even remotely matter (blowpipes), and everything else is formorians, including one of the three formorian giant sacreds in this round. You will
also be able to take indie provinces with a single sacred and any priest, if you felt like it :V
E2: Caesar is the third one, by the by. They're also the crazy bughumpers that have the formorian werewolves, which I'd probably give good odds of also being able to solo weaker provinces, despite
not be sacred. Ruddy insane inhuman buggers DX. And Fhuamdar, now that I check it again. At least theirs comes with that unrest downside
