The main question is: How to get a major blessing when you need one? I think most of us were especially annoyed with Seth from time to time. You're throwing festival after festival, Seth promises that he will aid your troops in conquering every known country in the world, but they are slaughtered again and again on their own doorsteps.
Here's what I tried in Dungul, and it worked quite well:
Of course, build enough temples and shrines to accumulate Ankhs, but - be patient with the festivals! Blessings are usually triggered right after a festival. If there is none - no blessing. Sometimes a god who is fully loaded with Ankhs wants to get rid of them with a minor blessing even without a festival, but that's rare.
So I simply waited until Seth accumulated 4-5 Ankhs before he got his festival. This meant less blessings than possible, but most of them were majors. Not 100%, of course, but enough to have one ready for every invasion.
Anyone out there with more "scientific" knowledge about this?
Yours,
