All Summons Army

[karmavirus]

You ever get desperate with a front that's about to be taken and make an all summons army? Man it's fun! I just had the Shadows declare war on me while I was entrenched in an Altatrian War on the Northern Front and I had just one army against their 16 stack of doom. But what did I have to thwart this onslaught? Oh yeah, my mage sidekick to this army was a summoner with +4 levels to his summons. Cragspawn, Ignys, Pillar of Graznar, Air Elemental, Earth Elemental, Ice Elemental, Ancient Grave Elemental, Shadow Warg, Pyre of Men, I CHOOSE YOU!

It feels good. They all have their unique skillsets that compliment eachother. Put the Crags, Earth, Pillar and Grave up front to soak damage, Air, Fire and Pyre to flank and the Ignys and
Ice to do their spelcial attacks and debuffs. SWEET! Well Worth the -8 Mana/turn. And the shadows can't use ranged weapons and are well protected against physical attacks. But not ELEMENTAL attacks! WHOOOO!

And the best part is that they are Learning! My summons all leveled up three times so far!

Nice! Another solution: Mantle of Oceans + Geomancy = cast Pull of the Earth all day while your City Militia wipes the field. I just love it when I do battle against an 'epic' enemy army, and the screen opens and I see them all formed up together in a 9-tile square, and I think to myself "bwa-ha-ha-ha".
