Re: Summoning vs Forging
I wonder whether it might be a good idea to give an SC super-chaff, in the form of e.g. an Iron Dragon. Something with lots of hit points to draw magic and confuse the combat AI, good mobility so as not to tie down the SC, and good morale so as not to make the SC rout. Maybe not; Enslave Mind works just as well against an Iron Dragon as it does against an SC and now you have to fight your own chaff.
On the other hand, I would really hate to fight an equipped Wraith Lord with 9 Iron Dragons. Even if I got lucky once with Petrify, Disintegrate, etc., I'd probably lose all my mages and be unable to repeat it on the other 8 dragons for the next battle. Maybe there is something to be said for quantity.
