Cheaper? Certainly. Earlier? Not convinced.

Given you want to aggressively manually search for death gems, I doubt you'll have Conj 1 for the Black Servant much faster than you'll have the d gems necessary to summon a king. And an H4 will reanimate twice as many tomb wyrms as an H3, so I'd go for the earlier king and ignore conjuration for a little while. Construction, enchantment, and evocation are all better research targets, probably.

Sorry for the stupid questions... why cheaper? what is the usual way to reanimate without profetising the servant?

[Squirrelloid]

Prophetizing the servant is cheaper because he's only 5d.

However, by the time you research conj 1, you probably have enough d to summon a Tomb King, because 2 of your first 3-4 sauromancers went out site searching, so your early research isn't terribly fast. And while its more d gems, you were going to summon tomb kings anyway.

Thanks for the answers!
