Yup, more or less the same thing, except your lightning barrier can be targeted (I think, haven't tried it yet) and mine works only on archdemons like the green dragon's mana drain ability.

ok, so I got the aoe fire thingy and demon summoning working and I'm gonna do the armor feature in the morning, so that leaves one talent slot open for debate. I'm deciding between an aggressive ability like Sheep or an unaggressive ability like Callback or a demon-specific Gift. Callback seems like it could be abused for hit and run tactics too much and the Gift ability like a waste of slot and abusable with phantom. I'll have to give it some more thought...

[Lestas]

Sheep is a great overpower Callback can be limited to 1 use per battle or recharge rate should be about 3-4 turns. Demon-specific gift...you can make it so that it won't end Archdemon's turn if you think it's too weak

btw Archdemons aren't as weak as you say:
* auto-dispell
* "unlimited" speed
* fire resists
* not bad Attack
* u gave them aoe fire-attack
* u gave them demon summoning ability
so the 3rd ability should be not so strong or their leadership should be increased

Maybe for the beginning you could let it as is Keneth - we will test it (you and many other palyers... me for sure ) and we will find out if the already done improvements are good enough or if we still miss something...

I am mostly having problems in fights on hard/impossible, but many other players still consider them "easy" so hard to discuss balance as each player has his/her own view of "how hard it really is"

The question should be - do we want make archdemon "a teamplayer" or "super-hero"? Meaning - do we want him to take the place of green dragon in combats, or make his abilities more buff/debuff like so the other units would benefit...

I would vote for super-hero -> as I always liked "no-brain" strategies, were I would benefit from his teleport / hit and run ability -> replenishing possible shooter damage or armageddon damage by demon portal / sacrifive (if warrior - these would be the only two spells I would be able to use per one battle ... maybe one more speed, or iron skin )

[Keneth]

I'm gonna leave the last talent empty, they're good enough for now.

Alright, I think I'm finally satisfied with these guys, they don't seem insanely powerful but I haven't really tested them in battle yet apart from animations (which I actually still haven't decided on but they should be fine for now). If anyone wants to try them out let me know and I'll post the files here, they're not really KBMaster compatible but I haven't changed any major game files so they should be compatible with just about everything else.
