Carl's Rise of Legends Guide
Alin Research: Evocation
Alin research points are gained by building magus districts in your cities. You will gain two research points initially for each magus district. This bonus increases to +1 for every magus district in a city when it moves to the large city stage.
Evocation
Evocation allows you to use the summon army ability. This is the national power for the Alin race. In addition to Summon army, you will be granted free units when you build one of the three Alin unit production buildings.
Here is some information for each level of Evocation:Note that you won't get a bonus unit for existing circles. You must build a new circle to get the bonus units. If a circle is destroyed, replacing it won't give you the free unit. You must always exceed the maximum number of buildings you've ever had to continue to receive free units.
Level I:
Cost: 1 Research Point
Allows the use of the summon army national power.
You get two desert walker units when you invoke summon army which last for quite some time. This is only really useful early in the game. Later levels provide a larger army.
You'll get a free desert walker unit from your circle of sand when you build one.
Level II:
Cost: 2 Research Points
The summon army power now brings you 3 desert walkers and 1 heartseeker when utilized.
In addition to the free desert walker from level 1, you'll now get a free Afreet when a circle of fire is built.
Level III:
Requires Large City
Cost: 4 Research Points
Summon army gets a bit more useful with four desert walkers, a heartseeker and a scorpion.
You'll now get two desert walkers for circles of sand and one glass spider at the circle of glass. The afreet bonus remains the same.
Level IV:
Requires Great City
Cost: 7 Research Points
Summon army reaches its maximum potential, summoning five desert walkers, two heartseekers, a scorpion, a fire elemental and a glass spider.
You'll now get two of the corresponding units for your production buildings. Two free glass spiders ain't too shabby.
