Fire/Earth SC's

shovah · #1 April 28th, 2006, 06:07 PM

do you guys know any summonable units that make decent sc's from the path of fire? apart from fire knigs i cant think of any and could use som e, for eath theres the kings and troll kings but earth kings can be easily taken before you can and trolls+king have huge upkeep, can you guys think of any more?

thanks in advance, Shovah.

Summer Lions... they are ethereal, don't need food and never flee.

thanks for the help and quick response but i dont really see the lions being used as SC's although i will give them a go again.

as far as SC's they would be the next best compared to the Fire Kings... if fire gems are all you have.
an earth spell can raise their protection... helps if the mage casting the spell is immune to fire.

troll kings update isn't that bad, especially in cb.

for earth you have lots of constructs: crusher, golem, gargoyle, etc. that you can GoR

fire you just have the 2 kings and banefire king.

banefire is being used

i dont really have the gems to GoR right now although i was considering it, i cant believe i completely forgot about golems though (but do they not cost astral? even if they do i have a big fire income) i dont think gargoyles would be worth a GoR but thanks for the tips.

If its late game and the fire kings are taken, the best summonables from fire are imo Fire Snakes. Cheap, with reasonable punch.

ive got kings, though all the nations im facing are rather firey (even caelum has fire...) so the usually great flamestrike is almost useless

I'm pretty sure the banefire king needs death gems not fire.

pound for pound of gems I believe the Summer Lions do better in battle.... without the CB Mod.

shovah ... are you using the CB Mod in your game?

You can always give them a weapon

Any weapon boosts defense over the flamestrike.
