demon line-up

impy · #1 03-09-2010, 06:16 PM

i am considering playing the game no loss impossible with demon line-up + demonologists.
But i am still baffled how to effectively ressurect without it being tedious and annoying.
Only demonologists, ressurect spell, time back, paladin ressurect comes to mind when it comes to ressurecting demons
i suppose kiting to Shattera, take units, don't do any cheap quests in order not to make the game to easy to start, come back to debir and start. i guess target spell + paladin ressurect with the help of cloned demonologists would do.
Anybody tried demon line-up? Just don't want to find out later on it is a pain rather than fun

I was under the impression the resurrection spell does not work on demons? Does the paladin's skill work?

And to me a demon line-up for a no-loss game does sound like tedium. Without the no-loss restrictions (but keeping them at a minimum) it could be fun, though.

resurrection spell works, tried it. Paladin skill don't know, but since it happily resurrects everything including undead, droids etc. i suppose it will be fine.

In KBTL I had the Demetrius Staff (-20% leadership of demons) and Anga's Ruby, and had Demon and Demoness in my party; completing that lineup was Inquisitors, Shamans, Emerald Green Dragons.

It was a pain to keep the party at no-loss since Demon/Demoness/Shaman were all level 4 units and needed a level 3 Resurrect to recover losses; the Inquisitors, btw, can't touch/resurrect demons. So even if I just lost 1 single Demon I needed to cast a high-mana Resurrect spell for it.

In KBAP, a lineup consisting of Demon/Executioner/Archdemon/Demonologist/Demoness would be nice, but would be a pain to keep at no-loss. I haven't tried using a Paladin unit type to supplement this lineup, but if they could indeed resurrect demons of level 1-4 then they would be great to add (take out the archdemon?). As for his morale...

As for the Paladin character class skill (not the Paladin unit type) it would happily resurrect all losses for one stack of any type, but I found out that it still counts as losses in the record; that's why I stopped playing my Paladin game and played Warrior instead.

Paladins will actually damage the demons rather than resurrect them

So for now, the only thing that would work for a demon lineup is Demonologists combined with Time Back and Resurrection spells. Healing also doesn't work on demons, Life Light will damage them too.

That really limits the options, but I guess when there's a will, there's a way

I meant the paladin unit's talent, not the paladin hero's skill.

Did the resurrection spell work on demons in TL? Otherwise don't know where I got this preconceived notion that it doesn't.
