The Monolith is cheap and has high starting dominion. It has 200 base hp and 28 base protection. I don't see it needing any improvement, though having 2 misc. slots would be nice.

Out of curiosity, how often have you actually used one?

I don't know exactly, but likely on my top 15 list of pretenders.

Quite often, though usually as a replacement for the Oracle with nations that can't use it (the Oracle, that is). I have one in a MP currently on turn 81, for example.

Different people, different experiences. Mine suggest the Great Mother comes 3r or 4th as a popular choice, close behind the VQ and the Ghost King, about on the same rank as the Lady of Fortune.

In Dominions 1 she was also very popular, sharing the top spot with the Wyrm and the Sphinx. But in Doms 1 the Wyrm costed 50 points less, the Sphinx could gate/TP and had more slots, the VQ and GK didn't exist, and the LoF sucked big time (was known as the Daughter of the River).
