Default Order of Unique Summons

If you summon a unique creature that is one of a number of them such as an Earth Elemental Lord which one gets summoned?

i.e. If the first one you summon is the ‘third’ one of three (from unit id) does that mean the others are all already summoned? Or is the one you summon random?

They are not random, you always get uniques in same order, so probably by ID. So when you get the last one you know other ones are taken.

Hate to disagree, but unique summons appear in random order. That's what I remembered, so I started up a couple test games. In one I got Cimejes first, in the other Bune.

I am pretty sure elemental royalty and demon lords come in same order always. Summoned plenty of them in MP games. Hmm... but maybe it was just luck like that?

I think you must have had increadible luck. I've had plenty of random results both in MP and SP.

I though this thread was going to be about some kind of special club or something.

Im trying to remember if the Tree Lords come in order or not. Seems to me that they are random.
