Treelord use?

Treelords have attack 5 and zero defense. Lots of HP, but what good are they?

They spew out a ton of vine ogres for very little cost

Wow -- that is cool. two 56 HP ogres per turn ain't bad! What do you do with the tree lord in battle?

give them a good staff and its 4 or 5 per turn for 1 gem (iirc) in battle they absorb a huge amount of attacks but arent worth much offensively..if they aren3 (i forget) have em throw relief

They aren't worth much, unless you happen to have a pressing need for a nature 4 mage. They are immobile, so they really just sit around.

I assume you're supposed to summon them in a forest, give 'em a treelords staff, summon up a billion ogres or so, then faery trod around the world taking all the forest provinces with vine creatures.

It'd be thematic at least! Hm, can't remember their leadership though, I think it was kinda low, they might need leadership items for ogre leading.

Last time I checked that, I realized that Treelords have only 2 misc slots. So, no staff...

Geez, so the Treelord can't use a Treelord's staff, and an Ivy King can't use the Ivy King's Crown? I just don't get these things!

Well, that makes the Treelord about the most useless high level summon I can think of then, considering you obviously have access to the high nature magic if you're able to summon him at all.... And for a level 7 spell requiring 50 gems??? I think this guy needs an upgrade. Maybe if he awakened 1 ogre/turn for free, and maybe 2/turn for free in a growth 3 province?

Treelords can't use a treelords staff, because they already have several growing out of them. Ivy kings can't use ivy crowns because they are already wearing them.

Well.
Effectively they'ren't worth the 50 gems since they cannot move, have only 2 misc slot, are fire vulnerable and have only a poor leadership.

If they could lead troops, you can at least faerie trod with them some army. I discovered that in the lone game I tried to summon them.
