They are only "better" because you prefer them. :P I AM looking for suggestions and advice, and I do want this to be something people will use and be happy with, but I do have to make the final design decisions on whatever it is that I put together.
There are multiple reasons that it could push it out of the realm of what I have imagined for the mod - because the specific goal of the mod is "to introduce summons of comparable power, availability and cost to the existing Bane Lord and Elemental Royalty".
This means all summons should be single path. This also says certain things about the roles that these summons will be suitable for. I can only reiterate - this isn't just a "we need more summons" mod, it's a mod to increase the competitive nature of large games where there are not enough Unique summons (and items) to go around to all of the stronger players.
For this reason, my own imagining of this "Clockwork Assassin", was as a readily available (who wants to be without Earth in the late game?) Tartarian killer. He's not a 1-hit-wonder, he's not an instant trump card to a pristine Tart, but he is something designed to be better at fighting them than most other things.
As far as the Aether guy goes, I am not sure I wanted him to have S3 on his own. I just wasn't sure if a unit could be given an effect like an Item Spell that casts a ritual for free. As I said before, this will be my first mod, and while the size of it is a bit daunting, I had already intended to keep the core concepts fairly basic, so I wouldn't have to range off into the realms of "new, and previously unimagined taste sensations". I would love to do some really daring and interesting summons, but I can't seem to say this enough -
that sort of thing will likely have to wait for a different mod. I'm glad that you want to help make this mod cool, I just worry that you are trying to make it be the mod that you wanted, and not the mod that I offered to make. <3
