National.

Heavenly choir is also a national. The troops you get with it (non commander harbingers and a few weak angels with fists) but the seraph has very nice stats and magic.

That sucks. Forces me to go Marignon or Pythium, eh? These summons seem simply too good to make them nation-restricted.

They arent that great, they are all very costly (although the angel of fury is nice and quite cheap) and, apart from the seraph none of them are THAT great.

Exactly, and I can't see an astral nation going conj9 when they could just speed research alt9/Wish and press the 'I win' button.

Abominations are pretty sweet though.

Angelic Host:
6 Angels of the Host OR 1 Archangel/5 Angels of the Host (not sure which, manual says it's the first one of these).

Both. :-) An Archangel and 6 of the host. (Assuming it's unchanged from D2.)

Heh ... oh? Because I've been playing a variety of games where I had wish and I haven't gotten this "I win" button yet ...

If you have a powerful astral mage, you could cast the spell that gives every mage a 1 level boost in astral..then go whop enemy mages by casting the magic dual...

Think that would work to kill enemy mages who have 0 astral at the beginning of the fight. Something I'm considering.

This wouldn't make any difference as magic duel only uses the base astral skills of the mages without any boosting equipment or spells.

You only gain an additional skill level in a path if you already have at least one level in that path, so it wouldn't give them any astral skill unless they already had it.
