Summons: Your thoughts.....

Some summons are NOT a good for the gem investment... such as the Ziz, Behemoth and Eater of the Dead. Avoid these even in SP games unless you're totally winning and looking to splurge.

I'll let someone else list the good summons.

I disagree about the Behemoth. They have their niche use, especially if you can buff them up with body ethereal and
protection spells. One use, since they are size 6, they can act as decoys to protect your prentender. If I have a size five god, and am afraid of being the target of spells because of the size, I feel safer with a couple of the size 6 behemoths around. And if you are facing a squad of elephants a few behomeths could hold off some of the elephants for a bit and break them up, so your troops can deal with fewer of them at a time.

But generally building a bunch of them, and expecting to use them as tramplers does not work.


[Edit: I should add what I mentioned was theories. I haven't had a chance to try them out.]
