Gibbon Goetia

[EmptyWolf]

In my current game as Keelyn I have GG with Death 3, Twincast, and Spell Extension 2. With puppets that's 12 Wraiths at any given time, which slaughtered Acheron. For some reason the wraiths aren't illusions and they kill everything, which may be because GG is now a lich. He still has illusionist, but isn't passing on illusion.

EDIT: The wraiths aren't illusions because they were summoned by puppets, I'm guessing. I think all puppets should have illusionist, but that's me.

Very interesting discovery loocas. I never thought of using Gibbon as an early one-man-army-of-doom with Balseraphs. It is as intended for puppets not to be illusionists (although I assume they are illusions if summoned by Gibbon).

And summons summoned by illusions are illusions.

In The Momus I rushed Deception and got out Gibbon, got him up to chaos III, Combat V, and Twincast and let me say, he is a beast! I took a stack of four swordsmen along and took out the entire infernal civilization. Wonder granting 2-6 summons per turn and then the swordsmen to mop up the morally wounded foes, gaining almost free exp in the process is amazing.

I use Gibbon and summon mistform. The mistform goes great with masked armies to clear out cities so barbarians can reclaim them. This is good when your early/mid game empire is already burgeoning because it is too big, you can carry on an undeclared war quite effectively.

The mistform used to be able to raze improvements too, not sure if it still can. So you can make a fortune from sacking towns without being at war.

They are able to raze.
