so a protection of 20 makes you quite save against every fire bless unit

avg damage is 1.29 with prot 20 against fire bless attack according to saber cherry's dice odds

against broad sword attack : it does 18 dam but not ap .
prot 20 against that : also 1.29 avg damage .

so if you know your enemy has f9 blessing field 20+ protection units and you are quite save .

so especially nations like ulm should have no problems with f9 bless early game , and sc's , but everything else .

conclusion : if you face f9 blessing to be save early game you need prot 20+ units .
otherwise you need at least a 3 times bigger army i think and will get heavy casualities .

please confirm my conclusion or correct the flaws in it

"Quite safe" is not quite the way I think about it. 1.29 is the statistically average damage, not something I'd personally rely upon. Also, those 20 prot elite Ulms don't have a lot of HPs, so it won't take all that many average hits to kill them, especially since defense drops as units take damage and fatigue. Swarm (outnumber) those Ulms with fire-blessed troops and they'll die rather distressingly quickly.

Of course, those Ulms are going to be methodically chopping up your units during the battle, but that's why you'll be outnumbering them. Going one-on-one (or one-on-many) against high-prot Ulms is not advised unless you are using SCs or Jotuns. And attacking Ulms at less than 6:1 is not something I do with non-Jotuns if I can help it.
