monks become pretty good with spiritual, 6 strength move 3 with medic1 and you get them at priesthood which is a very useful tech. maybe not quite as good as horse archers, but they don't require a resource and can start well promoted with some altar levels.

thing is...monk competes with crusaders/paramanders and usually priests via religion specific abilities are better....

I remember, ther was a mod mod with "peace counter" and all elohim specific buildings increased it. via counter monks got different attributes...higher counter, better attributes.

in any case, I think monks should have a little something else.. I don't know what.
not str that is sure, but maybe some
-anti-undead/demon promotion? (exorcist)
-some spell to boost happy and/or research and/or gold in city (like monsateries did) ? (mindI or spirit II could be nice on them.. or a special monk-spell. (thinker/preacher/poor-man's banker)
-march ? (they can heal other with medic but also heal themselves ?)
other ?
