Default Re: Effective Communion?

Depends on what you consider effective.

On the battlefield everything that has "Communion Master" either spell or item will use all availiable communion slaves.

Communion Slaves are easy to kill because they take the fatigue of the Master. When units get over 200 fatigue they start to take damage and afflictions.

My basic formula is 1 per 4. I will use less on my first few communions (if I am controlling a situation and provinces that spread my resources, I calculate the exact fatigue needed along with buffs) if I need.

I usually don't carry more than 8 Comslaves per army unless I am using desperate measures. Anything above a 1 to 4 ratio has a good chance of killing slaves if you have 5+ in research or are not ready with reinvigoration (Why Summon Earthpower is the ubar com spell).

Remember in communions you get +1 Path to your all your Master's Magic Paths (not priestly) for 2, 4, 8, 16 commslaves with them.
