Re: Good Troop Summons
I disagree that summon drakes is useless without dragonmaster. In fact, I'd say the reverse: once you have dragonmaster, you invariably have something better to do.
Now, if you fight with people who agree never to have any wars before turn 20, drakes are usless. OTH, for a turn 9 army of 110 guys, three drakes can make a *big* difference. Potentially a much bigger difference than five people who know fireball instead of fire flies, which would be the other option for your early research.
Dominions 3 has a lot of tactics that you wouldn't use if given the choice in the matter. But if you don't have a choice, you use them, and if you don't get demoralized, it's entirely possible to come from behind and win.
