I don't know, my little dinky priest can summon a Devinity,
then the devinty can summon 3 daemons, and my priest can then
summon a djinn or effret.  Not that will clean out the army of
the guy thats spent lots of time/money building up a army/location
with 6 orders.  Power is relative.....

In other games money does = power.  (To many for my taste.)
But in a way if your willing to blow that kind of money to win
a game, I'm not sure I'd turn them away from playing in my
company.

For the wide variety of play styles supported in Legends,
it has worked extreamly well.  And you can change your style in
midgame even and still come out smelling like a rose.  (Hero to
location owner, location owner to wandering hero group.)  And
yes LTE is nice, now to get the other goodies added in like auto-mapping
and the like.  (Then we can spend even more money, joining new games
because we have even more extra time, arge!)

Let me know, I'm not above some serious kissing up. ;)
