Late summons - Gift of Reason or extra Tarrasques?

All of these guys use different gem types, so why not summon them all?

Tartarian commanders > Abominations > Tarrasques > Tartarian non-commanders, imo.

Since the OP is losing territories he'll need the power of a strong SC. The Abominations and Tarrasques would need to travel in groups of at least 3 or 4 to defend the remaining provinces, it's better to focus on pure Tartarian SC's at this moment.

And DON'T sell the Chalice !! Use this as a bargaining piece for the enemy sieging your capital... tell your sieging enemy if he doesn't get off your capital you'll give the chalice to (his next worst enemy).
