(1) A Dusk Elder is worth 9 RP with Magic+3, not 7
(2) A Dusk Elder costs 20 to summon, not 23
(3) A Dusk Elder gains experience, a Skull Mentor doesn't
(4) A Dusk Elder can lead armies, a Skull Mentor can't
(5) A Dusk Elder can fight, a Skull Mentor can't
(6) A Dusk Elder can summon things, a Skull Mentor can't

Many reasons to choose Dusk Elders over Skull Mentors.

SO,Ermor COULD afford building skulls.

I would surely build some if I picked Drain+3, but I'd never pick Drain with Ashen Empire anyway, so as far as I'm concerned, the debate is closed.
