They also make excellent researchers in a magic 2 dominion.

Is buying lots of these and setting up communion slave/master teams a viable option? If it spreads the exhaustion cost and boosts the masters level, does this allow some pretty powerful battlefield spells to be cast, over and over in the same battle?

Next to Pythium, R'Lyeh has some of the most cost effective communion slaves available, and this does allow for the communion masters to cast some pretty powerful spells. You probably want to script a cold resistance into one of the masters however, as one of your masters is bound to cast breath of winter, and as it also is cast on every other mage in the communion this can end up with you having a bunch of dead mages very quickly.

Any played with this? Does it make sense for this race? [/QB][/quote]
