				 Re: Are heavy bless strategies the best ones ? 
 IMO it depends on the nation you are playing.
 Essentially that means yes for some (as has been said, I can not even start to think about EA Mictlan without at least a dual bless) and no for others.
 
 If a nation has good sacred troops most of the time they should be way better with a decent bless in the short run than with better scales.
 
 In MP games with "graphs on" this will most likely paint a big bulleye on them...
 
 In games without graphs it will more depend on "normal" diplomacy.
 
 But overall those nations DO have an advantage IMO even in fairly large/long games unless they get ganged up upon. You should be able to preserve enough of your early game advantage into the mid-/endgame despite slightly worse scales.
