No, summoning (the skill) is a good thing. You just need to learn how to use it... not even learn, but get used to it, understand it. For example, Charm in Order is much worse, IMHO. Nature has an additional chance to increase its army; why would you refuse? It's obvious that you need to develop it to the maximum. But at least the increase is continuous. With Charm, you might grab something here, grab something there, but there's usually no room in the army for "weirdos." Their presence can even lower morale. But Nature summons its own. And replenishment is needed. Especially if you're playing against Death and Might.
Although, comparing these two characteristics is not correct; Charm is more likely compared to Necromancy or Diplomacy. And summoning is a separate thing, and IMHO, it is effective only with artifacts (50% + 50%), the amulet with the beetle, and the staff
Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
