Slowing them does wonders. Sure they will run in first round, but after that (depending on your level of Slow) they will move 1 space only.

Also use no retaliation units, and attack them AFTER they have moved. Or, attack them with cloned units (phantom). The best option are units that can attack from one cell apart (demoness, Royal/etc Snakes, Robbers).

They might summon other demons, that's the only thing you have to worry about. The pentagram they conjure will make them tougher, but if they can't reach you...

That said, Mass Magic Shackles does wonders against Bhaal (practically takes his demon units out of the equation, and one mass slow next round will make it sure they are far away while you deal with the dragons and beholders)

Also some Demon slaying artifact will be usefull against them.

it depends on how u place the last hero at noric

if u have make a baatlefield with only 1-2 free slots to move to your units

(like in bridge fights)
i think when he goes up a ramp it should be possible to have only 1-2 open spaces where he can move through

now i u use last hero on it they will kill him(if it has a bigger field then your last hero won't work that properly since the cpu counts on how many shots it can kill someone)


and for killing

demons

i found two strats that could work

one is use necromancers and evil beholders(rest of the unit's don't matter although shamans could be a nice addition for their totems)

during first round use phantom on your necro's and let them cast the ability to let unit's not let their special abilities be used for 2 turns) and then use your units too kill them ASAP(or wait for a low stacked imp of scoffed imp for magic spring and chargers to get mana for resu)

use anga's ruby with dryads (phantom again and use lollaby) and the rest of your army kills the rest

"1) get paladin for resurrect and heal OR take warrior/mage and make sure the death paladin sells resurrect"

Is this even possible?

I have created like 100 games but never got resurrection with mage
Paladins have access for the extra scroll only it seems. (too bad they already have resurrect)

Yeah, it's very unlikely you get Resurrect in Darion. My first game, I didn't get it until the Elven islands. In my second, I got it on the Islands of Freedom (the eldest Cook brother sold it).

Generally though, I think you have a chance to get either sacrifice or Resurrect on the Freedom islands. In my first game, pretty much every second Pirate there was selling Sacrifice.

[Razorflame]

there are a numbers of ways t get resu

in my present game i had it in death valley o.o
in darion the death paladin can sell it
in the swamp area where u must get the book(dig somewhere there ussualy is a resu scroll there)

The furius paladin can indeed sell it to you, but i think only if you are a paladin too. I have seen it. But if you are a paladin you get also +1 good item from him so probably this is the same with resurrect.

Well at least it is possible to get Gift from the Chest Q mage tower...
It is almost as good with Inqisitors just more mana.

Could you elaborate on that? What chest and what mage tower?
