I started the new version as a paladin, although I'm not sure how far I'll get before I burn out on KB for awhile. Looking forward to seeing what changes you made from last version.
Priest change: Old (I think, drew these stats from a wiki) vs new
Leadership: 50 vs 90
Attack: 10 vs 13
Defense: 10 vs 13
Hp: 26 vs 70
Init: 4 vs 4
Speed: 2 vs 3
Damage: 2-4 vs 3-5
Damage per leadership: 0.06 vs 0.0444
You made them much more durable, but their damage vs leadership dropped substantially. The changed bless effect of the new priests does indeed add rage, but it lasts 2 turns, not 3 as stated. I think you made the priests worse for damage, although they're somewhat useful as early rage sources. And I guess you did make them better tanks, although I'd never use a priest as a tank.
Compare new priest vs inquisitor: New priest = 0.0444 damage per leadership. Inquisitor is 0.075. That's way better. I don't think the priests will be staying in my army for very long.
