I think construction path is one of the most usefull stand-one path. However I voted for Conjuration because even with great items if you have superior summoned units you can take anyone.

**A properly equipped SC can deal with pretty much any summons without equipment.** And conjuration lacks much in the way of SC counters.

So what you're saying, is that if you give your SC no equipment, they'll be properly equipped? XD

He was saying "A properly equipped SC can deal with anything and everything that isn't properly equipped."

I voted for Enchantment. Domes, nice summons, some very good globals... It only lacks damage spells oustide Flaming Arrows and Foul Vapors and such.

I would agree with Endoperez... Enchantment .

I was one of the few who went for Thaumaturgy.
I have had SCs taken out with a lucky casting of Rage (they hit themselves) despite mr of 23.

You get most of the site search spells. great spells to counter undead. Paralyze / mind burn/ soul slay/ Enslave, comminions, soul drain, vortex of returning/ teleport/ returning. Lots of battle field debuffs.

all very nice.

Blood is incredibly useful, cause it combines a lot of different abilities, such as, reinvigorating the user of it, increasing life span, even healing and mind control and still summons and has damaging aspects.

except for the hunting and the few nations that get blood.

Construction, useful for every nation bar none.

Interesting that in what is essentially a wargame, evocation magic has faired so badly. I say interesting but I am not surprised, thugs/SC's tend to win everytime over, 'kaboom' magic. Even the high level evocation spells like shimmering fields, niefel flames etc lack a certain punch.

The question is How could you build a SC without a good chassis.

AMA yes, Pendent of Luck yes, Amon Hotep yes, Magebane yes, Aegis yes, Boots of planes yes. So what? The only guy you could stack these items on to is a strategos, and with merely 13hp he just die to every single spell you drop there. Life for a life? No, a single level-one blood burst is already overkill.

And what if unique items are grabbed by other nation choose const?

ONLY ONE SCHOOL. Just like blood, to have a good go with const you need your nation have the ability to not only forge items but also use those const magics.

And blood come with enough SC counters..heck, with only one school blood player could have AC up without any hesitation.
