So cult priests are pretty neat and useful and there's more or less no reason not to plop them on the units you want to see in the heaviest fighting. Unfortunately, it's also kind of a pain to manually select each unit to assign four or more different kinds of priest at a go, and manually checking each unit to check if they need a replacement priest after having fighting is also kind of annoying.

Would it be possible to make it so that if you target the "distribute priest" card on a OHQ, it automatically assigns one of the selected priest type to each unit in the formation if they don't already have such a priest, randomly distributing the priests amongst the formation if there's not enough to cover the entire formation? It'd cut down quite a bit on tedious micromanagement while still allowing you to double-up priests on specific formations or whatever other plans you have.

All unit feats only affect a fixed number of troops, and you only get room for 1/fixed number of troops. For priests it was afaik:
Embedds with: 5 Subunits
Capacity: 1/10 Subunits

So if you ever - somehow - end up using bigger unit sizes, more then 1 is advisable.

I agree it is annoying to distibute them, if you got the cult rather happy. And it can even become hard on the eyes, if there are any other unit feats in units.

Honestly, anything to cut down the micro would be good. A new card that blanket offers one priest to every unit in the OHQ if the cult is really happy with you. A system where priests are auto-assigned like other feats but you can designate specific formations to get priority on them. Just plain somehow making it easier to quickly select and assign a bunch of priests to a bunch of units at once. Anything!
