E9 Bless & protection + 4 on Sacred Serpents

[Cor2]

My thought on Ctis is forget about keeping your sacreds alive, it can't be done. Go for a strong offense. I had some luck vs AI with a death9 water9 bless and a high dominion. I still suffered medium casualties but the sacreds have low resource and gold costs and the dancers are non-capitol so you can afford to take losses.

A side bonus is that death and water combo works well later in the game for Ctis. You could sub fire for death and get a similar or better results, but youll have to pay more points and get less synergy mid to late game.
