Posts from Against which factions is it easier for demons to fight, and against which is it more difficult?

Definitely – elves!!! In my opinion, they are the strongest opponents...

It’s easiest to fight against slower units, like dwarves. But it’s harder against the Academy and Elves.

against Orcs
Orcs are stronger in melee combat and faster than Demons
Demons deal two attacks for every three attacks dealt by Orcs

and if Orcs are commanded by Kujin (Demon Hunter), you can easily win.

I disagree; usually, Inferno has more initiative than Stronghold.

Not just sometimes, but always... You can also use infamy to block off a wall.

Maybe I was playing against demons with high leadership, who didn't have it, but my Orcs attacked more often and dealt more damage. Basically, a numerically superior army was defeated in melee combat.

Demons still have higher initiative, so they go first. The problem is that your base defense should be working, but they have Hell Hounds, and their aura is amazing.

During prolonged gameplay, demons are the strongest!!! Has anyone tried playing against a fully upgraded Nimnus when the number of summoned creatures exceeds 100%, and this horde tears everyone apart...? :smile03: Of course, there's an expulsion spell for every summoning.

I think the most challenging opponents for the demons are Sylvan and Academy. This is because these factions have strong archers, and demons themselves are not known for their initiative.

Elven forests are undoubtedly the most proactive in the game. But Demons are still in 2nd place. Archers can be countered with Chaos Cave Lords, new Cerberuses, Archdevils, and you might even get lucky and find the "Dispel" spell in the guild. Not to mention the "Berserk" spell, which will force the archers to attack their own defenders and receive a very strong counterattack.

And don't you think Warlocks are dangerous? Furies can take down Imps, and then the Demon is definitely doomed, and even if they don't, they won't steal that much mana... Demons only have a chance under Marbas.

Well, it can vary... Imps are usually hidden, and they steal mana, taking four times less than their own amount. That is, only 100 imps will steal 25 mana, which is quite a lot for a Warlock – enough for one enhanced Shock of Earth (with a decently developed Sinister or with Secret Knowledge). These creatures have a large growth rate, and if they also have a dwelling, then it's even better... And the Town Portal has low defense... Although, of course, the Town Portal's demons won't defeat them easily; it will take some effort, but still...

It is very difficult for Warlocks, and especially Necromancers, to play against demons, especially without mana. But a Warlock is dangerous to any opponent in any situation...

Well, when the opponent has 100 Imps, and I have around 120 mana, including artifacts... the main role here is played by the education skill with mana regeneration.

Dear user, where do you get these numbers from? 400 Imps by the endgame is the absolute minimum! And draining ALL the mana from a Warlock is usually not a problem. Of course, if your hero has a magic resistance skill, it might not be possible to drain all of it; then, the summoned Imps will suck up the rest... Of course, if the Warlock managed to find good artifacts, like a hat with +6 to Knowledge, or a Fountain that doubles mana, then yes, something will remain... but still, it will have to be used sparingly, which is a disadvantage.
