Best (for the price) recruitable commander?

Sometimes I wish people would stop disrespecting those guys. Really, they perform their intended function very well indeed - they die. Where you guys think the pre-researched spell summon dispossessed spirits come from? Yeah, sure, "revered Ancestors"...



After two months playing one MP with S&A I've started to regard the spirits as one national unit among others. Isn't de facto true, I know, but they can be used so extensively by S&A.

But yes, S&A lives and dies with its Celestial Masters - possibly the most magically diverse theme in existence. Seven fairly useless troops and four different powerful sacred priest-mages.

You can say that again. Especially if you survive long enough to research construction 6. Who needs a rainbow pretender when you can buy a CM for 250 gold and use items to boost any path to the level required? Levels 4 or 5 are easily reachable in any path bar blood, and there aren't many spells you couldn't cast with mages that powerfull.
