I had good luck with a F4W9N4 bless, pretty much recruited straight sacreds and sidhe...with slingers using leftover resources.
Only played a sample game for like 30 turns, but they mowed through pretty much everything. Did not run up against archer heavy armies but with the few archers I did see a much higher rate of glamour being removed. Good survival at hold/closest to grab a blessing.
Pretty much decimated a mighty AI Niefelheim with very few losses. Had 4 or 5 armies of ~20-30 mixed sacreds/sidhe led by the first priest.
Not quite sure on the formula for str vs. sieging, but my little guys had a very tough time cracking the giant's castle. Str 9 i believe?
Didn't get Lugh on this game, but did get him in a mini-map test, looks great.
The standard fire/water bless works good, i think you might even do well with just a fire/nature as the glamour covers some of the defense you'd get. I think an A4/N4 added to either F9, W9, or S9 would be great. They already have a pretty good attack/defense/MR, and the S9 might work well for maintaining glamour. Blood might not hurt either with the low str. heck, they'd probably do well with just a rainbow bless of 4's. Going to test more
