Well, you can bring your own food, but nothing quite abolishes that "augh my troops are dropping dead in front of my very eyes" feeling of Miasma.

I never understoof how Desert Tombs could cost so much more than any other theme in the game, yet appear to have few or no significant advantages over, say, Ashen Empire or almost any other theme you can name. Other than the really weak ones.

Well... It does allow for a nation with very strong undead summons and unholy power while retaining good living troops and strong holy magic.

Based on the purpose of the theme most would trade the holy priests for unholy priests.

What is the purpose of the theme?

[NTJedi]

I was under the impression the theme focused on death magic and the undead. At the start of the game the player who has chosen the theme starts with an unholy priest... yet cannot purchase anymore. With the scale tipping towards death magic and a title of desert tombs... being able to purchase unholy priests would seem more useful. That's just my opinion tho... perhaps one of the developers could provide a better explanation.

The purpose is something that NT feels it is, as opposed to as what it was created for

You can purchase Unholy Priests. By summoning them. But you can also use the living with the dead. Why would the ancient priests and kings of old need gold? They serve freely the one who binds them to them by power of magic.
