My god this belief is good. +30hp healed when adjacent to a friendly city.
Might sound 'meh' at first but in G&K this is huge. Units rarely die, and fight for a couple of turns before being withdrawn to heal. Being able to heal 3 times faster than anyone else means that when fighting comes to a war of attrition/meat grinder, you will win. Simply more stuff to throw more often at the other side until they die. On the offence, it means that when you capture a city, you're entire army will have healed back to full strength in about 3 turns. Gives a lot of momentum.
Using this at the moment as Sweden and the synergy with the Caroleans (free march) is awesome. A unit on the front line, at half strength simply has to take 1 turn off to be back at full strength. I feel like I have twice the army of anyone else.
Only thing bad I can say about it is that it doesn't work with allied city states (or, I assume, allied nations). Also, it's a pantheon rather than a follower belief so you don't have to worry about spreading your religion for it to work.
Has anyone used the other combat orrentated beliefs (Just war, goddess of protection, ect...), how do they compare?
