Don't know if it's intended or not, but can you not sacrifice units that you charm with the demoness on others than the demoness? I can't fill up anyone else apart from her and I tried it twice. Am I doing something wrong or what?

Hmm, maybe demoness' charm works in a different way than Hypnosis, because the unit goes under HER control. Since you couldn't resurrect anyone else than the demoness, that would be the only assumption.

Yes that was my initial assumption as well, but that is not how the spell used to work.

Well, with the difference that this is not a spell but an ability. Even the description says that the unit will fight for HER for 2 turns. This is why it looks plausible. The only thing that I can add is that if that was a bug, the russian players would have already said something about that and it would have been fixed.

Perhaps. I did say how I abused the charm+sacrifice combo in KBTL so I won't complain. I won't even put points into destruction now that I know that I can't utilize it to the fullest.

I'm not sure about Demonesses, however i can confirm that Dryads charmed units can be sacrificed. But as this has a fairly low trigger rate, Druids animal charm is much better as it always works! Just wait until after the animal takes it's turn if you are a warrior, use the Druids charm then immediately cast Sacrifice. Next turn use your dragons mana ball and cast again. If you still have enough mana, you can actually get 3 Sacrifices b4 the 2 turn charm wears off.

Succubus units CAN be sacrificed.. but the resulting sacrifice revival can only be applied to the succubi themselves. Again not sure if I was just doing something wrong.. You can sacrifice above your leadership level in KBAP right?

DGDobrev · #58 11-26-2009, 09:51 AM

Yes, you can, but it's not desirable, as you'll have to kill the extra units afterwards so that the troops can go back in your ranks

I know, I did that all the time in KBTL, sacrifice it before the end of the battle, then put the surplus in reserve. With that I never had to buy troops any longer, just sacrifice stacks that lacked numbers to fill up leadership.

Well, back to the trap problem.

You guys think the medal's great, isn't it? Well, let me tell you a story.

Right now I'm facing Demenion and if I am to keep up that no-loss spree on impossible I have to beat him up without losing a unit. However, as a Mage, I have only 21k leadership. Demenion has a big Archdemon stack that halves everything it hits. In addition to that, he has 2 stacks of emerald green dragons. To make matters worse, the game spawns 2 traps just in front of my troops. So what happens?

Archdemon teleports to the free spot (not on a trap, of course) and halves the Gorguanas. The first emeral green dragon flies to a spot behind the trap, takes one of my units and drags it. The unit takes damage from the bite and from the trap. The second emerald green dragon does the same over the other trap. Now this is what I call starting with a severe handicap.

Well... Time to get back to figuring how to beat up demenion even through those difficulties.
