Cool. This is exactly what I was thinking and I'm now eagerly awaiting Lords of the West.
Fighting with your virtues also implies that the saint (or whoever) is victorius, because he is virtuous, not because he is strong, which is nice. Then again, I guess that some myths work best on a more "superficial" level.
BTW, finding the virtues seems like a cool way to design HQs. We too at the Kalikos society have thought up some ways of our own to do so.
