I also think it is a long way to get a 4-red pyramid and the other necessary power tiles. So it may be very powerful but you will get it not until near the end of the game.
If I understood the rules correctly, you can have it in the first round, if you really want it.
You start with 5 prayer points, and before the first day phase, there is a night phase, giving you another 2. Now, set the starting power of the red pyramid to 2. As your first action, raise the red pyramid level to 4, costing 7 (3+4) prayer points, which brings you to 0 prayer points.
Second and third action: Pray for 2 prayer points each.
Fourth action: Buy Initiative power tile.
Fifth action: Destroy opponents :devil:
Please correct me if I got the rules wrong somewhere.
Also, I have a question regarding this tile: Does protection work against Initiative? If I attack a troop accompanied by the Ancestral Elephant (+1 protection), belonging to a player who has the Shield of Neith power tile (+1 protection in battle), how many units does the defender lose?
a) two, because protection does not work
b) one, because the damage occurs before battle, therefore Shield of Neith does not work
c) none, because it is a battle, so both protection effects work
