Especially when you cast it in The Oak of Ages.

Some really good ones here!

I'll cast my vote for my favorite: ether warriors.

For 90 gems you get 15 kick-*** troops AND a kick *** leader.

I mean what would you rather have 10 Wights lead by a Wraith Lord or 15 ether warriors lead by an Ether Lord? Thought so!

But in all fairness the requirements for ether gate are pretty high and it is higher on the tech chart than wrights.

Oh and Enliven Statues sounds positivly amazing!

Ether Gate's cost is too much for me. 90 Astral gems could go towards something better.

I'd rather have the wights and wraith lord, or better yet, two wraith lords and a bane lord.

Well I understand that you can get the wights considerably earlier, like probably 15 turns or so.

But assuming that you had an astral 4, death 1 caster, and you also had a bunch of death 2/3 casters and you had either 90 death gems of 90 astral you are saying that you would rather the wights?? That seems crazy to me. The ether warriors are simply superior troops.

wights... you mean Darth Vaders?

Do Ether Warriors have zero fatigue?

I like a lot of them. Scorpion Beasts are good as Machaka, since you have fire gems and cheap FE mages to summon them.

Vine Ogres are extremely efficient, especially if you have druids.

Horde From Hell is great as Mictlan, for the flying demon leader.

The death summons from wight on up are extremely good, though the lowest one (5D gems, unit) is my least favorite. And I like Pale Riders as much as Behemoth, usually.

Succubi are very fun and potent.

Vampire Lord is rather good - he can call free vampires - immortal army after a while.

The higher-level ones are of course, quite impressive...
