| ***??Summon Black Dogs??**, {{path>D2}} Conj2 {{gems>8D}}, ({{:nations:la:man:black_dog.png?30&nolink}} ??Black Dog??x20). Requires outside assistance like a ??Troll Shaman?? to cast. These are stealthy animals, with very little survivability. However, if massed, these fey beasts can deal noticeable damage to lightly armored opponents. They Do their best work when ??Darkness?? is cast. Get 3.6 sige strength more then the equivalent in reanimated long dead (FIXME double check math). | ***??Summon Black Dogs??**, {{path>D2}} Conj2 {{gems>8D}}, ({{:nations:la:man:black_dog.png?30&nolink}} ??Black Dog??x20).

| ***??Summon Cu Sidhe??**: {{path>N2}} Conj3 {{gems>6N}}, ({{:nations:la:man:cu_sidhe.png?30&nolink}} ??Cu Sidhe??x7). The Cu Sidhe is a size 3 sacred elvish dog. Their prot and MR are surprisingly high for animals, and their higher hp and decent damage attack can mitigate their low attack density. However, they remain a questionable use of N gems in most situations, lacking the glamour and high def skill which makes your other elf troops strong, and still possessing all the same weaknesses. If you're running a heavy bless, access to summonable sacreds from a fairly gem and mage-turn efficient spell can give them a role, but they are probably best avoided. | ***??Summon Cu Sidhe??**: {{path>N2}} Conj3 {{gems>6N}}, ({{:nations:la:man:cu_sidhe.png?30&nolink}} ??Cu Sidhe??x7).

| ***??Summon Barghests??**, {{path>D2}} Conj2 {{gems>7D}}, ({{:nations:la:man:Barghest.png?30&nolink}} ??Barghest??x9). which is basically a stronger version of Black Dogs. It does come later but costs a single gem less. This spell summons improved Black Dogs and Cu Sidhe, which come with defense and protection inferior for the price. However, these hounds can curse enemy units, and do 18 damage + poisonous bites. These creatures can perform decent flanking maneuvers in the midgame but are also relatively easy to amass though this is the Late age and your death gem economy will get a hard time getting off the ground and being saved up to climb death. | ***??Summon Barghests??**, {{path>D2}} Conj2 {{gems>7D}}, ({{:nations:la:man:Barghest.png?30&nolink}} ??Barghest??x9). which is basically a stronger version of Black Dogs.

| ***??Summon Bean Sidhe??**, {{path>D1}} Conj5 {{gems>25D}}, ({{:nations:la:man:bean_sidhe.png?10&nolink}} ??Bean Sidhe#1776??x1). recruiting judges until you get the one to Dig up an elven Ghost. Not only a someone to Make ??Skull Staff??s then cast the Air Death Spell with a gem and booster, but also get a dip into water for national magic. They are Ghost mage assains. | ***??Summon Bean Sidhe??**, {{path>D1}} Conj5 {{gems>25D}}, ({{:nations:la:man:bean_sidhe.png?10&nolink}} ??Bean Sidhe#1776??x1). The spooky [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee|banshee]] is a herald of death, [[curse|cursing]] one foe each battle (if you don't have her cast spells). She is also a capable [[Assassin]], given her [[Ethereal|Etherealness]] and [[Fear]] aura, though she may require some proper equipment. For most, however, the biggest draw for her is her paths: {{path>A1D1,100%AWED}} offers an opportunity to climb the [[Death]] ladder, to say nothing of the ability to sweep enemy armies with ??Wailing Winds??. Of course, it //might// take you {{gems>100D}} or more to get the Bean Sidhe with the right paths, while empowering a {{path>D1}} ??Judge?? for the role costs {{gems>50A30D}}; the Bean is less likely to die in some freak accident, however. |
