Various Newbie Gameplay Questions

And moving the Angel summons to national summons just sucks for me, because I don't like to use evil or undead or even non-humanoid-type of summons. It just restricts my summoning options even more!

Plus it's made it simply impossible to get holy types for various nations, since angels and couatl were both moved to be nation specific. I guess it _does_ ensure more differentiation of the nations, but not (imo) in a good way.

I confused Heavenly Choir and Angelic Host initially. I've mentioned both in here already, but put shortly:

Angelic Host:
Conjuration 7, Astral 5, 50 pearls for 6 Angels of the Host OR 1 Archangel/5 Angels of the Host (not sure which, manual says it's the first one of these).

Heavenly Choir:
Conjuration 9, Astral 7 Fire 2, 144 pearls, a nasty Seraph and his 3 Harbinger and 9 Angel of the Heavenly Choir buddies as units. Harbingers would have A3H2 and AotHC H2 if they were commanders.

Thanks for the clarification, Endoperez.

Now, is the Heavenly Choir a national summonable or is it available to all?

National.

That sucks. Forces me to go Marignon or Pythium, eh? These summons seem simply too good to make them nation-restricted.

They arent that great, they are all very costly (although the angel of fury is nice and quite cheap) and, apart from the seraph none of them are THAT great.

Heavenly choir is also a national. The troops you get with it (non commander harbingers and a few weak angels with fists) but the seraph has very nice stats and magic.

Both. :-) An Archangel and 6 of the host. (Assuming it's unchanged from D2.)
