I must point out that I, as Helheim, have not used a dual bless strategy unlike *cough T'ien Ch'i and *cough Ulm who are *cough allies *cough. Excuse me, I seem to have a tickle.

We have a what? You've seen our troops, and we've seen yours. Your units have a larger bless bonus in two categories than ours...

The server will be down for a few minutes while I monkey around with it. If you happen to be caelum and are trying to play your turn, just sit tight.

Server is back up. Even though the server says 24 hours remaining, I may force-host the turn at 11:30 AM Pacific time if Caelum hasn't played by then (this is when the timer would normally expire on the quickhost). Caelum hasn't staled a turn yet AFAIK so no worries but I want to be up front about things.

Yeah... well my bless is larger than yours anyhow... oh wait what kinda bless are we talking about?

Really this is a Newbie game and I and most others are probably playing our first MP games. I never knew using bless strategy would seem gamey. I have myself with my Agarthan nation choosed to use a bless strategy (although quite unsuccesful since I seriously suck at this game

) as I had no idea blessing is a gamey tactic.

Anyhow I agree with Stryke11 and I hope a new Newbie game on a larger map will start after 3.02 is released.

Oh and even though my Agarthan nation is among the smallest in provinces that still is alive I have the largest army... atleast something to be proud about. Yeah and I also whopped some Maverni Eponi Knights this turn.... ahhh that was sooo sweet.

First off, you are right, you do not have a dual bless. I am in another EA game against T'ien Ch'i, and their sacreds do have the 9f9w bless. So I got confused. It was an honest mistake, and I apologize.

As far as finger pointing goes, if you would bother to pay attention, several here have talked about the Heims uberblessed units. While Helheim was not specifically mentioned, it was not discounted either. I felt I had a right to defend myself by saying that I, in fact, am not using a dual bless strategy. That is unless you consider a 4e5a bless a dual bless strategy. I also pointed out Ulm, who is using one, to show that in EA the Heims are not the only ones using it. If you have a problem with the "finger pointing" then that is your problem, not mine.

Helheim is performing competitively against the other nations without using the played out bless strategy. /salute you for that.

As far as other nations using a double bless, I don't really think it has as big of an impact on the game than when used in conjunction with glamour or neifel giants. Some players have suggested it is insanely powerful with Mictlan but I have no experience with that nation whatsoever.

I hope maybe in a future patch instead of nerfing these bless strategies, Illwinter gives certain nations counters to the double blesses on these particular nations (The heims and possible mictlan?).
