UniversalWolf: Ahh...I see what you're saying. I haven't tried Sorcery summoning, but I will. After my Chaos game, I think I'll try every type of summoner (except maybe Life; that looks like it would be hard). I'm leaning toward Death next.
EvilLoynis: Death and Life are both very straight forward. This is because you go 11 books for each as neither can get the 0 cost thing because they don't have Masteries. At most with 13 books you get the 60% reduction + Conjurers 25% summoning bonus. Not sure if the Conjurer bonus works with Torin though as it does not work on Summon Hero/Champion spells.
As for Death Wraiths FTW and it's quite simple to conquer everything on Arcanus with only 1 of these guys.
Nature & Sorc are tougher because you can't start with 11 books and have to instead do the Mastery&Conjurer combo to make the most of it.
About 5 minutes ago at the time of this post, I just finished a one Death Wraith run with 3 opponents on Normal. I had 11 Death books and the first thing I did was start summoning that Wraith while building up my temples and such so that I wouldn't run out of mana for the upkeep.
Wraiths are great for conquering cities as they help to restock it with ready units :D
They can definitely stand up to Stone Giants and raise them too but the SGs cost too much at the outset so I had to disband them :/
