Crusade Blessings
So what happens when you inevitable play someone (Christien) who has been gaming hard with their army and all their units are ramped up mega death robots capable of running riot amongst your ranks? Fear not for the balancing mechanic known as Crusade Blessings helps to bring a handful of help to the Crusade Underdog.
As we’ve previously discussed as the units gain infamy and begin to rank up their Crusade points total also increases.
Using this simple chart we can see exactly how many goodies you are going to garner in your games.

So the player with fewer Crusade points then gets to pick one or more powerful Crusade Blessings from a list. In the Tyrannic War campaign, these can be immediate boons – like bonus Command points, or an all-important re-roll to a battle shock test per turn – or long-term investments, like extra Experience points for surviving the battle. 

Unlike Battle Honours, Crusade Blessings are only temporary – they’re a means to balance uneven armies for each battle in a way that best suits the underdog.

Getting Good – Agendas
Agendas give us an additional way to gain Experience for our units during the crusade games. Whether it’s completing specific kill missions or surviving horrific situations we can keep records of tallies or totals with various Experience gains implemented for our unit providing we have completed the Agenda. Simple really a mission to complete inside your primary mission so a bit like doing a secondary but for some really personal gains.

Short but sweet today, our final part of setting up a crusade force will be looking at the start to finish of playing a Crusade Mission with your pal.
Keep Crusading
