This allows for more swaps around the battlefield, thus allowing you to kill stacks of archers safely, and get your troops out of the fray if necessary.
I love this fight. Makes you really think and get creative.

That is an excellent tactic, DGDobrev, and one that I had considered, but fortunately I was able to get by with the Imps / Scoffer Imps since they are your only ranged troops for Demoness. I don't remember all the details of that fight, but I guess I was lucky that he didn't heal my Imps to where they died (if he used the heal spell at all - I just can't remember as that was two months ago!).
Nonetheless, having another Demoness does have the advantages that you state, the only downside is that you won't be able to charm as high leadership troops as you could with 2 Demonesses, but the extra swap is probably worth it in the end.

Matt did you manage to do guardians of light with vampire ? I guess that should be nice challenge for Impy.

Yah, I guess game variability makes all the battles pretty personalized for your playthrough. That's why I've posted the starting pictures so that at least you can see how different the enemy stack is from what you're facing and also give you a feel for what is doable.
I've only played Demoness and have just finished Oakarland and Aralan, but all the comments here have me itching to try the other classes, at least through the Whitehill fight. But I'd really like to finish my current playthrough before I restart with another class...
It sure sounds like Orc and Vampire are much harder, although with Vampire at least Ghosts and Vampires can life steal. With Orc and Demoness, you don't have any healing whatsoever.
Does Orc get the Goblin Shamans (or whatever that new unit's name is) or at least 1 Shaman at the start? If you had one Shaman like the Demoness has 1 Demon that would be huge. Too bad for Vampire they don't give you 1 Necromancer. Seems like that would balance out the other classes as you get 2 level 4 troops with Demoness you should at least get 2 level 4 troops with the other classes as well.
Oh well, I guess that's part of the challenge!
