1- Don't know really, it may be you have to wait for your supercustoms patrol to read through all the manual

2- Well, they make rather good arrow catchers, but shouldn't hit the broadside of a barn with 8 att, and get killed fast with 9 def when against any "good" unit.
But they sure can handle indies ..

3- Yes, "patrol" puts the troop outside castle. But no way to have your mages join an "outside" fight if they make research or anything...whereas they do if they're no castle !

4- It works like Astral Communion !

5- Succubi are better than Oriad, but don't seduce that much. they make really good assassins though

6- Yes, it's a nice spell, it can give you valuables units. There's a standard MR save, so it's hard to have really powerful units with it.

7- Some pretenders gets summons based on something else than Dominions (ie the Niefel Giant gest Wolves according to cold scale), but maybe there's some randomness too...

The hellbind heart question is a tough one, it can work well against any unit with a fairly low magic resistance.

There are various different factors in what summons you get, i think certain pretenders get more than others but generally its tied to dominion strength/scales.

Vampire queen and ghost king unit summoning is related to local dominion strength. I think 5% chance per dominion.

That depends on whether those indies are Knights of the Chalice or not. Bad memories...

Thanks for the responses, all. I never knew Troglodites were so useful, I'll make more when I have the gold. I'll also keep in mind to weaken a tough foe's resistance before I try to Hellbind Heart him.

Two more questions: Is there a way to make succubi better at seducing, (Such as experience or equipment) and is there any particular stat that determines their resistance to it? Magic Resistance again? (Yes, I'm addicted to stealing units)

Its either magic resistance or morale afaik that determines whether or not seduction works, i dont think there is a way to increase a succubis success rate other than making more

It's BOTH a morale and a magic resistance check AFAIK. Also, the succubus can only seduce male commanders that are of the correct size (Jotun are out).

Yea, would be a little strange for a joton to be seduced by a succubus (also would leave you wondering what he had planned...)
