:The key to the Sidhe Champion is that he is both sacred and a mage and recruitable everywhere. Hence, though evoking sticker-shock, as far as upkeep goes he is dirt cheap, the equivalent of a 70-gold non-sacred mage. With Magic 3 scales, this translates to a pretty cheaply maintained researcher at 6 research/turn (e.g. similar to Ulm's smith-priests or Caelum's seraphs). In battle, he can self buff, cast spell songs and throw some shock-based magic. If you can get him into the front line, you may even be able to deploy the rarely seen ''shocking grasp''. | :The key to the Sidhe Champion is that he is both sacred and a mage and recruitable everywhere.

:A Sidhe Champion scripted to ''Bless x3, Attack 1-turn x2, Cast Spells'' will bless himself along with 15 Tuatha Warriors scripted to ''Hold and Attack'', then advance to support them on the front line by casting spell songs. | |||

: | :The recruit-anywhere Bean Sidhe brings useful magic diversification to your nation. Under Drain scales, she is your most cost-effective researcher, and even under Magic scales comes in a close second to the Sidhe Champion. Fairly soon you should have randoms able to site-search 2N, 2A, 2W and 1E. | ||
:One small downside is not being able to self-bless in combat to take advantage of her sacred status. For that, you will have to keep a priest on hand. So teaming her up with an indy druid/shaman or one of your Sidhe/Tuatha mage-priests as an escort works well. | |||
