Portal of Summoning

Not sure this building is really worth a detailed note. The problems with it are:

1. The AI does not use it.
2. Creatures cannot be bought upgraded, which can be a problem if there's no room in the garrison for a non-upgraded units and no hero available to make room.
3. It's dependent on external dwellings, and controlling external dwellings will affect more than just the Portal of Summoning.
4. What it gives is random if you control more than one type of external dwellings.

For example, a fully-built Dungeon with a flagged external Dragon Cave will have a dragon growth of 3: 1 base, +1 from castle, +1 from having an external dwelling flagged. And then possibly +1 through the Portal of Summoning. But at the same time, the same dungeon with five external Dragon Caves flagged will have a dragon growth of 7, again with possibly +1 in the PoS. This impact of flagged external dwellings on creature growth is not taken into account anywhere else in the table, but it applies to all towns and all units. A Castle town with 16 flagged Portals of Glory would have a growth of 18 archangels per week. --Turnam (talk) 09:58, 6 March 2025 (UTC)

• I agree with Turnam - I was actually just coming here to make the same comment! --Legate (talk) 13:50, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
