Ashdod is worthless now

[triqui]

There is a difference between "this unit does not work well with this bless" (ie: Vestals with E9) and "this unit does not work at all with any bless except one" (ie: Annakite without E10). First case gives you plenty options (you can use Vestals with F9, or W9, or D9, or S9, or combination of those, or mild E4W4F4). The second case give you one option: E10. Well, gives you two: E10, or chosing other unit. Although I'm not sure this count as an option...

Anyway, we at least have come to the agreement that encumbrance 7 make E10 absolutelly mandatory for them. What we disagree is that, in my opinion, they aren't worth the 150g88r cost (the highest cost in the game, by a far margin, as they DOUBLE the cost of the next middle age sacred), even with E10.
