5 N + 5 blood slaves in your example.

Come on, blood slaves are dirt-cheap. I don`t even count 5 blood slaves as real investment. I meant the variant i screenshoted - with Lycan amulet and hunter`s knife.

Bane: MR = 15. Minotaur: MR = 11.

Dust to Dust doesn`t care about MR. It just deals 22+ AN damage with AoE 1 and precision +0 to any undead. Can be cast by any D1 mage out there. It still somehow doesn`t prevent Banes from being used effectively.

Andd what size are they, btw?
|
Small enough to be successfully trampled. And not defensive enough to dodge a trampling enraged minotaur lord.
Only in human form. In jaguar form they are size 3, AFAIK. Also, those are extreme example of elite sacred unit - of course, they need special threatment.

Same as jaguars. Also, they are cap-only, so hard to mass.
High-level summon!=common human. And Pan has answers to them outside of minotaur lords.

The build you describe may have its uses, namely sending it solo against a solo thug who is not a Caelian High King (who would fry it in 1 or 2 of the thunderstrikes he is scripted to cast anyway).

Do you really think that scripting a solo-raiding caelian to thunderstrike is a good idea? Also, Caelum really needs some research done before evo - you know, stuff like alt3 (mistform), for example. And why send those minotaurs solo? Send 3-4 of them and watch enemy SC god cry.

a (4 gems + 1 turn of summoning) bane beats this (5 gems + 5 slaves + 40 gold + upkeep + 2 turns of forging + 1 turn of recruiting + 1 turn blood hunting) minotaur.

Because, as we all know, a bane needs no equipment.
