Summoning

Okay, I'm a dummy, but I have a hero with the summoning skill so he should be able to summon 10 HP worth of sprites a day.  But how do I do this on the adventure map?

I believe, if you have room in your army you get them automatically.

Hmmm, this doesn't make sense to me because you usually have a choice which creature you want to recruit.

I never have any of my heroes learn summoning. Skills that involve creature genertion/regeneration when not in combat should be togglable off.

When was you able to do that???

And Dyrvom, I agree, but if you get GM Summoning, it's quite a good skill. But who wants to waste upgrades on Summoning when not playing as Nature...

I do not like the summoning either. But you can get it ocasionally from an altar. If so you can control the kind of the summoned creatures by having stacks only from the creature type you want, and other types that you cannot currently summon, in all of the army slots. Also if you all slots are busy with unsummonable types then you won't summon anything at all.

Summoning

sucks... as most of the third skill in the magic skills.
And unfortunatly the game tries to force it on you every
time you try to reach a new level...

It doesn't suck if you're playing as Nature, or if you've developed it to GM level. Then it, imo, beats Ncro. No one seems to agree with me at this though...

Even with nature+life magic (summonner) and the amulet that increases summoning, the benefit will be much less than the one with necromancy. With nature you can invest your levels in something much better. If the level up offer me two craps and summoning only then I would take it. Or from altars, but when I pick up those I pray for something different than summoning :-)

Well, though GM Summoning can give you seven elementals pr. week, you can get like 20 vamps a day, provided you've got a grail structure or two, a couple of necromancy amps and a lvl 20 hero. Ok, you can do that, but the map'll have to be bigger than medium, and be filled with creatures, and...

Oh, just forget I said anything. The factors that'll have to be in order to make Summoning better than Necro are so many, that, well, it ain't bound to happen to many times.

Badly balanced, 3DO.
I hope UbiSoft'll make it better...

May be they should have given +% per level of the hero to the summoning skill ...
