I read the rules as if they were blessed it was easier for anyone to impact them positively. Create order etc.

So even if they have an order with the race it costs plus 1 then. Gotcha. So my last turn would be 6 for create order and 9 for command race correct?

I just read this in the rules; Bless/Curse (7 Power / 4 Power): Blessing a civilization will decrease the cost for any deity to act upon them, while cursing them will increase the cost.

If a race is blessed it should [i][b]decrease[/b][/i] the cost for [i][b]any[/b][/i] deity to act on them. Unless that was a typo.
