Best summon?

[Wauthan]

Living Statues are indeed superior to Clockwork Horrors. But that's like comparing a vintage vine to fresh grapes. The CH are low on the tech tree on the vital construction school and get maximum result from the lowest possible caster. To get the most out of Enliven Statues you need to research for longer and have such a very powerful earthmage that you can not summon them in many places.

I'm sort of confused about some Posts. Are people talking about the summoned creature they get the best use out of or simply the best possible unit available? Sure the high end spells produce some really powerful monsters but a Tarrasque won't help you at all when you are already struggling against a horde of vinemen in the early game.
