The main advantage of Celestial Masters is that they can summon your Celestial Soldiers; other than that your Barbarian mages are generally more useful. I'll also note that your three barbarian priest-mages can't start below old age with the Unaging Blessing; they have a special tag that guarantees they start at old age unless they luck into a Nature random. It's not SUPER important, but it is worth noting because it does diminish the attractiveness of the Unaging blessing.
Ha! I was about to write a comment under the last Dom video asking if there's gonna be more nation analysis, and just then the little youtube bell rings. Thanks for taking the time to write these up, General C! They're really helping me understand the game a lot better. Though, if I could make a request, maybe go a little bit more into the kinda spells and research goals you'd suggest going for in the early game?
I tried them once, did not win but i found their sacred horse archers/ heavy cavalry mixed with normal cheap horse archers are a pretty devestating force.
From a graph I remember seeing Luck as a bless is most effective on low health sacreds as it functionally extends their life since the deathblow resist is more active.
I think that was changed from Dom4 to Dom5. I'm fairly sure luck worked on undead units in Dom4 but it no longer does in Dom5. It definitely worked on undead units in Dom3.

It does, but you still need anothe rbless on them to make them actually do anything in combat other than gum up the enemy with chaff
@@Petterwass Hence their mage artillery. And the luck will help the mages survive a little longer.
Luck is good Tien Chi has really good national heroes.
I wouldn't really recommend the Luck blessing on TC; it doesn't work at all on undead, so it'll do nothing for your meme ghosts.

Luck did not work on undead units in Dom4 either, casting a spell like Will of the Fates was totally useless on an undead army.
