@Graeme - Why would you balance the entire game around a single overpriced national summon?

I maintain that having good, cheap, badass summons as a universal endgame option is an essential ingredient for play balance given how wildly imbalanced nations are against each other, and the luck of the draw inherent in picking up indie mages with non-national paths. Choking off one of the major factors balancing the playing field is a bad idea. People are also fond of overstating how effective tarts are, the non GoR ones aren't all that, especially if they're feebleminded and rocking a 13 base MR for enemy charm/slay spells. The latest CBM also knocked their HP down some.
