Brigit the Shining + Pyre of the Seraphic

[Pike the Hands]

equals awesomely broken. Sacrificing an angel unit on the Pyre gives you a permanent Fire elemental; sacrificing a hero Angel gives you seven. Thanks to Brigit's immortal status, however, she reappears in the capitol every time you sacrifice her. It's pretty difficult to rescue her and she and the Pyre don't always both appear in a single game unless you're using All Unique Features, but once you've built a new palace next to the Pyre and are cranking out seven elementals a round you've basically won the game. Hoarding fire mana will make things quicker but really isn't necessary.

Wait... Can you sacrifice usual immortals too?

has to be an angel unit. but if you're playing basium I think you have access to one thats both (not Brigit)

Summon Host of the Einherjarhrjmahnahmanah sounds like an even better deal to me.

1 permanent Fire Elemental in exchange for a repeatable summon that I can cast again next turn? Sign me up!

I wish there were better documentation for this. All of the amazingly cool features of FfH dont' really do much good if no one knows about them. I just about wet myself when I realized that I could get Rangers with March if I upgraded them from level 1 FoL units that I gave the promotion to.

The <bCasterNoDuration>1 tag in SPELL_SACRIFICE_PYRE would rule out exploiting SPELL_SUMMON_EINHERJAR. You could still sacrifice the permanent Einherjar you get from sanctifying a Graveyard, but they aren't common enough fo you to do so repeatidly.

I don't think that's been added yet, as I was able to do that with Chalid in my last Elohim game. Maybe that was before patch q though. Still, I think it works. For now.

It's extremely overpowered. Especially since I had 6 Fire Mana to buff up Brigit.
