Oh, somebody mentioned that astral has no summons...
Not true. Some nations also have astral summons. Angels (Marignon, MA Pythium) and monkey indian weirdos. Also, Golems. Not as good as they used to be in Dominions II (I even believed they became not worth the trouble for some time), but still one of the best summons you can get.
But without clams, astral just took a very heavy hit in the groin.

Just consider that your 50 units against 40 enslaving mages example he was outnumbering you probably by 10:1 or more in terms of gold.

I Don't know where you are getting that from. My guys cost 150 gold and 88 resources each.
His mages cost 150 gold and 2 resources. |
Ah. Ashdod, is it?
Think of it the other way. He had to send 40 mages to counter your summons. Where did he get so many on turn 23 anyway? Probably had to hire indie lizard shamans or sages as well. He had to stop researching completely just to counter recruitable sacreds. It was a desperate move.
There are ways one can counter enemy communions; you could meet him with some turn-1 earthquakes, for example. And retreat, just to be sure. Fenita la comedia, all his mages are dead, his nation has no hope anymore.
Better luck next time.
