Usually to GoR or GoH you need a N4 or N5 mage, that is already required to summon the Tree Lords ...
uh you are right forgot that
at least they should be almost impossible to kill via strategic damage spells so e.g. as man perhaps saver as GoH/GoR etc. caster than the fragile crones with treelord staff etc.
but fairy queens have glamour so they can never be targeted by damage spells and are much more useful anyways.
as it is the treelord is one of the few really almost total useless summons . sad but true .

Well, if you cough up the extra 8 natures, you can always Transform them. When you do this (similar to Ritual of Rebirth and other life after death spells), you can then resummon them since the game doesn't think they are summoned anymore. The transformed TL still will get stuck with few slots, but at least they are mobile.

Nowhere near as useful in 99% of the situations as the Fire Kings or Air Queen, so I'd like them improved. Some thematic ideas to give to a variation of them:
a) Make them Entish, so they can walk
b) Free auto-attract Vinemen
c) Free auto-summon allies with Vine Ogres/animals/Crossbreed
d) Free Fairy trod ability
e) increase population/growth scale in occupying province

Free Fairy trod could be too much,but the forest only restriction, low leadership and only one available wouldn't be overwhelming ...probably
good suggestions .
expect the growth scale suggestion ( should be quite huge like +1% extra ) i think all other solutions still don't make the treelord worth being summoned as long as he has not more slots .
