That's really one of the recent moves that seems a bit ham-handed to me. I mean, really, was the big bad bear so nasty he had to be moved to a rare research book high up the tree, while the army crushing Stone Giant and artillery inferno Fire Giant got to hang out in the little leagues? And lets not forget that disk one nuke demon that Empire gets to pal around with. Hopefully the reworked magic system will include a more reasonable progression of summons, preferably with a little specialization at least encouraged. Reference to MoM was what drew me to this game, and I'd really love to see some distinction between a nature loving sov followed by an army of bears and spiders and rock giants vs. a hot-headed mage accompanied by fire imps and magma elementals.
