| I have played as a demon and found their gating to be very usefull. i believe the game is balanced but could use more spells and units.more ranged for more classes would help. |
| Haven't played demon myself, but I hate gating. With a sound tactic, a demon is a very tought foe to beat. And with magic to boot.... |
| I havn't played Demons, but i've seen things. Horrible things. Gating is an amazing ability. Nothing like Hellhorses gating in next to your archers to really ruin your day. And numbers? Look at Dark Elf numbers at level 1 and 2. At level 1 we haved like 12 soldiers total. Gating Imps, which are worthless anyway, is great. Split them into alot of mini stacks and spam spawn. They're use is mana damage, not so much troop damage. Demons are slow, but not as slow as zombies and have the same punch. The only draw back is no casting- but one point into Knowledge and a magic tower and you both have spells, and at this point Spawns, which give you stolen Mana. Mixed with Spawn/Imp spam? Nothing not to like since the stolen mana can exceed cap. |
| im an experianced demon and ive won lots of battles. my most loses are as a dark elf. it might be your stradegy. |
| As a mage that is crippled by the annoying imps before i get my first spell off ore unit moved, i rather cannot see how demons are too weak. |
my demon char had problems only on level 5. levels 1-4 and 6 was raging success.
put all ur points on defense
levels 1-3 - level on hunts
level 4 - always gate, gate demons near enemy archers, others close to you, use max dogs, demons, and enoug imps to fill all your spaces. split them by 1 of course. use imps to eat retal and (important) to block others from attacking your good units. never move dogs into archers range in first move
level 5 - use potion of oblivion, put 2 into knowledge, the rest into spell power, use spell power arties
level 6 another spell power point
level 7 - my guess it's time for potion of oblivion again, time to be melee warrior again. |
| demons suck and cheat |
| how can demons cheat? -.- |
yea look sccubi 20 hp and return fire ,druids more hp ,caster
hounds are fast but weak ,15 hp (kill simply) ,demons are slow and low initiative ,good defence but very low attack |
If HWM goes from HOMM5, then the upgraded succubi get a much needed 10 hp boost and a nice chain shot.
hounds become even more specialized, more speed, same hp, spray and no retal, plus more damge. |
| Nah demons are not hard from 1 to 4. In fact, i seem to have more trouble as a lvl 5 demon. from 1 to 2, u should be able to win against all races most of the times cept barbarians. at 3 to 4, play smartly and u can win elfs and knights most of the time, necros are slightly tougher, depends on ur luck against the ghost, for night elves its how fast u can take out their rogues b4 u swarm the minotaur. Its easy from level 1 to 4, u just need the experience. but once u get to lvl 5...it gets harder, i think |
| i hate playing against demons when there just lv3 the demons are strong i dont know what you do but i lose a lot against them |
| My biggest complaint about demons is in HoMM imps are much more useful, they drain mana every turn, and the numbers demons recieve are lower than in HoMM. Those are the only 2 things I can really complain about. Demons should be anti-wizard faction, as they are in HoMM :) |
it would be totally unbalanced if imps/spawns took away magic each turn.
demons r fine the way they r. they murder wiz and necro. and sometimes DE |
| 31: dark elf is immossible if the DE plays it right, and keeps his minos able to hit anything that attacks the rogues...minos will murder demons and wolfhounds, usually even without first strike. |
| 31:what about elf? |
i find as a elf that lvl 3-4 demons are actually pretty tough to beat-the wolfhounds are much better then fk
in group battles demon is one of my favorite races to fight with
and anyway, they look really fun to play as anywaay |
3rd tier wolfhounds are better than 2nd tier fk is what you are saying?
lol...and fk are better than peasants...this is an equally worthless statement.
If demons were as powerful as some people in here claim you'd think more people would play them. Some guy poormouthing about how bad necro is, haha...he put his skill points into attack instead of knowledge and we are supposed to listen to his expertise on the situation? Sorry mate, no way.
Regardless...I know demon isnt the best....I dont think they are the worst either. But I do enjoy playing them and thats all that matters to me. |
37:
of course they're fun to play, what's better then calling reinforcements from hell? |
| for Xerfer: much better to decrease mana,which needed to hellfire at least at 2 point,or give demons consume corps ability IMHO |
