If there are three, what would you do to occupy the third hex? The dragon's wall is the only thing that comes to mind.
Anyhow, muy impressivo!  |
actually there are 2 spots on the battlefield (look at my screenshoot), which are accessible via one hex only. So cast demon portal there and you'll be fine. In the actual game, i did not go there, there were 2 stacks of 10+ archdemons. i killed one using poison skull + death star first round, the second stack, crippled with death star hit me without halving. Halving would actually do 500 damage so it is not really end of the battle. And remember, my defence was 130+, while archdemon attack was around maybe 80, plus I had 30%+ phys. res, so their damage was only few hundreds.
Using traps for arch demons is interesting strategy, but i think traps are " one round wonder". Yes, it will stop enemy from attacking you, does cca 5000dmg = 5 archdemons, but that's it. Casting demon portal creates meat shield and once you slap target on them next round and kill 5level creatures you'll be fine.
Armageddon. Hm..It says in its description it does fire damage, but when I cast it myself it hurt dragon a lot. It turned out it does ASTRAL damage, as i found out after putting the helm with 50% astral res.
Hardest fight so far, apart from driller when i was praying for demon portal to bring arch demons, was marakesh. Two armies of 260 brontors, immune to mind, and when I blinded them, marakesh dispelled it. Mystic egg he destroyed with geyser. Also 2 armies of 2016 Choschas summoning 2000+ gobots every second turn..
