-The type of animal summoned depends on the terrain.
+??Summon Animals?? summons 40 animals for {{gems>10N}}, while ??Animal Horde?? summons 100 animals for {{gems>15N}}.
-Highland will give wolves, bears, and blackhawks,
+The type of animal summoned depends on the terrain. Provinces with multiple types (like highland mountains) will use the first terrain type appearing in the table below. Some terrains provide substantially more siege and combat power than others, but all are ways to generate a ton of chaff with very few nature mage turns.
-Swamps will give giant spiders and horned serpents.
-Forests will give boars, moose, bears, giant spiders, wolves, and deer
+Swamps and underwater provinces provide the strongest troops in terms of combat power, probably followed by highlands.
-Plains/Farms/Caves will give lions, goats, black hawks, deer, and wolves
-Mountains will give the same as plains/farms/caves, however it might give more lions, unsure.
+  * In swamps: 1/3 ??Horned Serpent?? and 2/3 ??Giant Spider??s.
-Normal UW provinces give sea stags, small sharks, krarkens, sea dogs, sharks, and leocampus
+  * Underwater:  1/12 ??Kraken??, 1/12 ??Shark#816??, 1/12 ??Leocampus??, 2/12 ??Hippocampus??, 2/12 ??Sea Dog??, 3/12 ??Sea Stag??, 2/12 ??Small Shark??. The ??Hippocampus?? are notable for having a magic Alicorn attack.
+  * In highland wastes: 1/3 ??Giant Spider??, 1/3 ??Goat??, 1/3 ??Black Hawk??.
+  * In wastes: 2/3 ??Giant Spider??, 1/3 ??Goat??
+  * In highlands: 1/3 ??Great Bear#694??, 1/3 ??Wolf??, and 1/3 ??Black Hawk??.
+  * In forests: 1/6 ??Great Bear#694??, 1/6 ??Moose??, 1/6 ??Giant Spider??, 1/6 ??Wolf??, 1/6 ??Boar??, and 1/6 ??Deer??.
+  * In all other terrains: 1/6 ??Great Lion??, 1/6 ??Giant Spider??, 1/6 ??Goat??, 1/6 ??Wolf??, 1/6 ??Black Hawk??, and 1/6 ??Deer??.
+??Animal Horde?? is much more gem efficient than other ways to summon the various units it generates that can be summoned another way. For example, you'd need to spend {{gems>24N}} and 6 mages turns casting ??Summon Horned Serpents?? to get as 30 ??Horned Serpent??, compared with 33 from a single {{gems>15N}}  cast of ??Animal Horde?? in a swamp, which comes with an extra 66 ??Giant Spider??.
+All summoned animals are [[undisciplined]]. Most have high combat speed, and very low protection and magic resistance, and will lose to modest province defense unless you bring overwhelming numbers. Nonetheless, there are plenty of use cases for tons of chaff that can be useful in various chaff roles, either as evocation bait or, with enough late game buffs, as blockers in an army.
