[Dom4] Designing bless-optional nations
Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2017 3:19 pm
For most nations, the bless strategy is a no-brainer. Either your sacred units (and commanders) are good enough that you are more-or-less compelled to support them with your pretender's build, or they are crap enough that you never bother. An intermediate state, where there's an actual measured choice, is rare, IME. So, in a from-scratch situation, how does one get there? How does one set up sacred units such that one could look at their pretender options and say 'well, X bless would be good, but an expansion SC or rainbow researcher or whatever might be just as good?'
The most common factor for me is availability. When you can pour Eagle Warriors, White Ones, or Flagellants out of every fort, that's strong incentive to support them. When you can only trickle heavy infantry out of your capital, that's strong incentive to ignore them. Build-anywhere heavy infantry might be one way?
