That just seems too severe. Dropping the one present in the screenshot to 1A2E1N makes him not only not very interesting as a battlemage, but also not incredibly cost effective. Ultimately he loses all combat magic utility, and thus becomes little more than a sort of expensive, lowish HP, self buffing thug. |
I think both of these summons need to be looked at as a defensive boost vs. for use offensively.
Although having said that the Mori-no-kami can go in any forest and not lose magic levels, so will have some limited offensive potential. |
Hmmmm. Summoning them as a "stationary" defender seems even more of a waste, in general terms. Considering you must do so in a Mountain province. Jomon in particular is one nation that should avoid Hillforts at all costs, without a single useful low resource unit to train. But then you spend 28 gems to get a researcher (with RP malus of 2, it appears), that maybe, some day, will have more purpose.
