Are the Devata best national summons Bandar Log gets?

[Manuk]

Now who is complaining that life drain can only give you 5 life? If one could acquire 4 life draining weapons....

remember that you still get fatigue from that many attacks. You probably need at least a couple of reinvigoration items.
(and improve this guy's attack and defense probably too)

Indeed, but that is a valid {SC} equipping tactic in Doms 2. as well.

Highest-level Conjuration, at least. Some others, like the W3E3S1N1 Nagarishi with one of those paths as a random pick, AND Holy 1, are lower-level summons (Conj. 6) with higher requirements (W3E3 and 40 gems, when Bandar Log's best mage has only S3N2 and a WESN random. Even the cheapest naga mage requires W2E, and while Nagini are useful (stealthy mage-priest seducers), you basically need to design your pretender around getting them if you don't want to rely on empowering. All the nagas have pretty hefty upkeep even if they are sacred, because they are all recruitable units in Patala. Nagarishi costs 450 gp, for instance.
Of course, this doesn't directly relate to this AAR as Kailasa can't summon them yet, but since you asked spesifically about Bandar Log...

Pity you can't take the Olm with them.

National, Conj. 7, S4, 35 pearls.
There's Summon Devata at Conj. 8, S5, 45 pearls. While Summon Siddha says that they are powerful priests and mages, Devatas should be powerful priests, mages AND warriors.

Now don't steal my thunder Endo!

I will be summoning a Devata in a few turns, so you can all take a look at him.

[Nerfix]

Yay!

Turn 45
Well it looks like Vanheim is taking an aggressive line with T'ien Ch'i. Scouts report four of T'ien Ch'i's castles under siege by Vanheim. Balakrit witnessed one battle first hand, and noticed the dwarven commander:



This is a little amusing - mainly because he's carrying a midget masher!

But this makes me realise that I must act soon - I have probably delayed too long already. I need to grab a piece of the pie before it's gone. I will take a contingent from the north and attack T'ien Ch'i's northern provinces. Then in a turn or two I will send troops south also. I need more astral pearls.

[Nerfix]

Well, obviously he is smashing other midgets! Perhaps he is some kind of a taskmaster?

Let's hope things go well versus Tien and Vanheim.
