I'm fairly certain the summon elemental royalty spells check to see if the unit ID exists in the game, so clearing all the stats on the units in question to remove the #unique tag doesn't help.

But you could use #firstshape to get around this by having the summoned royalty transform to another shape, thus freeing up the original unit ID for further summoning.

See this post by Sombre for more info.

Tested it and it works fine. The only thing I'm unsure of is if there are more attempts in a turn to summon a given type of elemental royalty than exist in the game if some will be told that no one answered the spell (because #firstshape hasn't yet been triggered). So more than two attempts to summon a fire king, more than three attempts to summon an air queen, etc.
