Just to be clear, are you saying Bogarus summons are overpriced at current CB prices (because I believe those were the ones VedalkenBear was referring to)?

I think that he's saying this is a classic case of a potentically useful summon, that needs to be made a batch spell. 1 summon for 1 gem *and* 1 turn of a Staret's time, isn't working, since you need squads of these things to be very effective. See the other poster suggesting getting 30 together.

I'd guess at 3/3 they'd look a bit more attractive, though 5/5 might be more reasonable, since these guys are more needed to shore up defense when Bogarus still looks fairly tasty to their neighbors.

No, I meant vanilla game. Speaking of CB - having your Starets waste his time on summoning a single, rather squishy, unit is a desperate act. Even if that unit got buffed.
And Gamayun is rather bad even at 16 astral pearls in my opinion - it doesnt open any new paths, its not better at existing path than your national mages, it cannot become a thug etc. Its just a copy of your national mage that can fly.

Consider that winged boots cost 10 air gems and are usually considered useful... why wouldn't a 16 gem sacred mage-priest-leader be?
