Course not. However, Earth 3 and 4 (4 with a Crystal Matrix on a E2) through crystal matrix on all slaves is still respectable and allows you to throw out the large earth evos/earthquakes rather easy. E5 is relatively easy to accomplish with 4 slaves and an Earthpower and Power of the Spheres (or a Crystal Shield).

H3 Inquisitor is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills undead and doesnt afraid of anything.
Oh, and they are great at pushing back enemy dominion.
Also, his H3 is guaranteed - not just random pick, that you almost never get due to Murphy`s law. %)

They're good at pushing back dominion, but not for anything else. And communioned/sabbathed Goethics do everything they do in battle magic, but better. Dompush/kill is what they're for.

a 5-man goethic communion/sabbath gets PotS, and thus guaranteed H3 on all slaves (and H5 on the master). Better than just bunches of High Inquisitors (who again aren't as flexible). But that's my take on things. Then there's Hellpower (+2 in all magic, including Holy), but that's a whole 'nother can of worms, and you definitely don't want to bring that out in a communion (unless you plan on summoning a horde of horrors [large enough and doom horrors pop out: man those things are scary]).

Seriously, if I were Marignon who starts next to Ermor - I`d rush him with army of High Inquisitors and get easy 15D/turn.

Yes, those death gems are delicious when you don't have to spend most of it buying research mages/mentors. That's like 2 tarts per turn!
