Course not. However, Earth 3 and 4 (4 with a Crystal Matrix on a E2) through crystal matrix on all slaves is still respectable and allows you to throw out the large earth evos/earthquakes rather easy. E5 is relatively easy to accomplish with 4 slaves and an Earthpower and Power of the Spheres (or a Crystal Shield).

H3 Inquisitor is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills undead and doesnt afraid of anything.
Oh, and they are great at pushing back enemy dominion.
Also, his H3 is guaranteed - not just random pick, that you almost never get due to Murphy`s law. %)

They're good at pushing back dominion, but not for anything else. And communioned/sabbathed Goethics do everything they do in battle magic, but better. Dompush/kill is what they're for.

a 5-man goethic communion/sabbath gets PotS, and thus guaranteed H3 on all slaves (and H5 on the master). Better than just bunches of High Inquisitors (who again aren't as flexible). But that's my take on things. Then there's Hellpower (+2 in all magic, including Holy), but that's a whole 'nother can of worms, and you definitely don't want to bring that out in a communion (unless you plan on summoning a horde of horrors [large enough and doom horrors pop out: man those things are scary]).

Seriously, if I were Marignon who starts next to Ermor - I`d rush him with army of High Inquisitors and get easy 15D/turn.

Yes, those death gems are delicious when you don't have to spend most of it buying research mages/mentors. That's like 2 tarts per turn!

I am happy to start with just 11 on board ... the map should be fine.

They are good out of the box, without any research. And Ermor is much easier to kill if you start the war turn 6-7. Later on it becomes much more of a problem, due to much larger number of freespawn.
Also, smite spam from 5+ priests is pretty cruel early on, so you won`t have a problem finding something to do for them.

through crystal matrix on all slaves is still respectable and allows you to

...to waste a large number of gems really fast.

An astral pearl for every skirmish?

Goethics are only H1 in CBM. PotS gives them another +1. 1+1=2 :P
Remember, communion slaves get communion bonus only for spells that masters cast.
BTW, casting Sabbath immediately gives them 50 (49?) fatigue, so they`ll pass out faster (important when fighting against really big undead armies)

Wow. Pages and pages of discussion about how to kill poor, misunderstood Bone Daddy. I love it. He's going to try to live up to your high expectations and put on a good show, but he's still a newbie lich, so don't be too disappointed if he succumbs early to all the pitchforks pointed at him.

As an act of kindness, the nation of R'yleth sends Bone Daddy a sympathy fish. Use it wisely.

[parone]

Just a few early on. Can't let blood income or research lag too far behind.

Bah, meant just matrix any none S mage you want part of it. So give one to a E/F Priest for fire evos or a E/A Priest for Wind Guide (better precision helps everyone), etc.

There are worse uses of it. Crystal shields are also available.

Doh, been under the impression they were H2 this entire time.

Reinvigoration is the answer to that.

Random name generator just made my life painful. What kind of a name is "Pulu" anyway? Is it a name for a dog? No, dogs get better names. It is a name for some small pet insect. OK. I do understand the pain of being kicked by RNG. But it just won't stop.

Sent the pretender to server. I do not expect him survive for 3 years.

The insect's life is short.
