Enslave is the core of my arsenal since it buys the time my mindbLasters and mages need to cause additional damage and buy even more time

Thats's one of the reasons why I am not overly worried about Marignon's attack since I think that I have enough mages in reserve (IIRC about 10) who can be brought up to 4S with a Starshine Cap and who should be able to stop Marignon cold in their tracks fairly fast. That's one of the reasons why I am forging 2 additional Starshine Caps this turn.

Getting more fodder troops due to having more enslave mages is a nice bonus, too

Sadly I have to pay upkeep for the enslaved troops and lack the death magic to get upkeep-free summons, otherwise I would be churning out a lot more Illithids.

BTW, is there a list anywhere which shows which summons are needing upkeep and which are free ?

From what I have read here I think that only some undead are free of upkeep which makes sense, maybe elemantals and the etheral beings, too.
