I think Magnus is right, there was definitely something like that. We need to see if anyone played as them in the demo. If so, please tell us how it works for them.

I played the demo version and played as those stupid little devils! At first, I couldn't understand what their "siphon magic" (or something like that) was! It seems like they steal magic from enemy creatures and lose a turn in the process. Imps are better. They steal mana and then still get to move, but the devils only do one thing!
P.S. By the way, why did everyone's level drop? I had a Master Archer! Magnus, you had a Rakshasa Princess, and eXeCuToR, you already had a Druid! Does anyone know why?

Aaa... yeah, I think it says that the effect only applies to enemy creatures, meaning the hero isn't affected, right? Then they're useless.
P.S. What happened with the statuses? Everything seems fine now...

They increased the status effect level by one, and everyone's status dropped.
Imps are weak; devils are better. But Dryads are even better; I want to see nymphs, maybe they have better stats, or maybe they're just visually different.

Nymphs are good because of their symbiosis (they heal Ents, and Ents heal Nymphs), but otherwise, they differ from Dryads only in that they have no mana, 1 less initiative, 1 more damage; everything else is the same. In my opinion, Nymphs are better.

Yes, I've already chosen the Wild Ents, and nymphs suit them very well, so it's better to buy them instead of dryads.

Skeleton Archers are awesome! They are the best! With their numbers, they can defeat anyone. I had 49,000 skeleton archers, with 7,000 in each slot, and I easily defeated everyone on the medium difficulty level!

Tell me about the map where you gathered so many of them and how long you played it. I can create even more archers on my map using the editor. :D

That's just unbelievable – 49,000 skeletons? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Even just 10,000 peasants would be a stronger starting level, if you think about it! ;)

How many and how often do you need to play to have 49,000 skeletons, and then still have to defeat someone? It's unclear... And besides, the strength isn't in the skeleton-archer unit itself, but in its quantity... That's not interesting...

I've said it so many times, skeletons are complete garbage. Their strength lies only in numbers. And in everything else, they are total noobs! True, I haven't played with the new skeletons (upgrades), so I won't say anything about them.

Does anyone know about the skeleton upgrade in Tribes of the East? Tell me how to make skeletons able to cast Verdict.

They are strong, but I built archers. From the alternate upgrade, I only liked the spirits. Banshees are also good, but Messengers are better, thanks to their attack, especially when your strength is running out.

That's nonsense; by that point, the Knight will have just as many archers. Quality is more important than quantity at the later stages of the game. I once had three groups of 48,000 spear throwers. If I still have the screenshot, I'll post it. Yes, Draga Musa Welli saw it; I sent him the screenshot, but he didn't believe it.

Sorry, could you be more specific about the alternate upgrade for skeletons?

They have 6 defense, archers have 2, then maximum damage is 3 instead of 2, but then there are a bunch of skills: 25% magic resistance, large shield (50% of ranged attacks), stunning strike (opponent may not be able to retaliate, and initiative may drop to 0), ally protection (all friendly creatures on adjacent cells receive 50% of ranged attacks). Overall, they are strong.
