What is the general idea with the Voice of El changes in this mod? It seems like what I can recruit is tied to what angels are hanging around, but given their nature as suicide bombers they rarely live for more than a few turns before they charge headfirst into some doomstack (early & late-game). Despite having prioritised the relic-ritual that increases the spawn-count I rarely even have an angel hanging around, and I've mostly seen the weak ones spawn despite having broken Seal nr-6. This is problematic since it seems like I can't recruit Templars unless high-tier angels are alive, and El's armies aren't much without them.

In my current game I'm mostly playing cat & mouse with the computer since my largely templar-deprieved armies have zero chance against the doomstacks of the AI demonologist flailing around in the center.

Btw. are there changes to the 4 Horsemen's AI? They seem to constantly chase my armies and settlements while mostly ignoring the demonologist's units. I might just be unlucky, but it feels like breaking the last 4 seals did nothing but weaken me. Would I have been better of just breaking the first few seals and then ignoring the breaking of seals?

Inquisition & Crusade are of course really good early/mid-game, though with the increased item spawns they have a tendency of piciking up items early on and accidentally donating them to the Horsemen or the opponents (unless I can chase them down and transfer the items before that happens).

I recall vanilla Voice of El being really good spamming "stupid" units and closing games - IF he actually survives to get the seals and spawn-frequency close to the max, but It isn't really happening; I can't myself buy good armies (templars), the inqusition doesn't cut it in late-game, and the angels _really_ aren't pulling their weight. I still have fanstatic economy (~35 relics/turn), but mostly because the AI is really easily distracted, and if they just went for my cities it would have been long over.

Personally I figure Voice of El is supossed to be a ticking time-bomb that no one should permit to hold onto temples for too long. At the moment it feels a bit more like Jehova's Witness knocking on doors and getting chased around by dogs despite swimming in relics (Huge Fallen Empire Map).
