Well thanks for all the help so far in my Thug & Umbral threads.
Unfortunately I have been unable to turn the tide and I am now disintegrating fast as other shortsighted neighbours are also grabbing bits of me and the Agarthan war machine rolls on regardless. I couldn’t fight his army at first and now that I could possibly give it a go I find he’s already conquered most of my nation
But before I go I have a last chance to strike against at least one of my attackers. I have managed to reach Summon 9 so I can try and summon a few of the best summons. I have never summoned any of these before – even in single player.
Sadly it looks like I will have to sell off my best magic items to afford any but that’s just the way it goes. Including the Chalice, just when it would start to be useful!
From my mage levels and gems the possibilities are really Abominations, Tartarians and Tarrasques. As these all use different gem types its not really an either / or but as and when I can afford any. Except for the Tarrasques. They use the same gems as Gift of Reason.
So my question is how important is making these late order summons Commanders? Empowerment is not really an option at this stage. I don’t have the gems and I simply won’t last long enough even if I did. But is making a Tartarian or an Abomination a commander better than having an extra Tarrasque?
