Battle Tactics revealed?

This thread was inspired by a game with the Great Jedi Master.  Outta my 35+ games played I have never seen a demonologist used agasint me. Until the Jedi Master unleashed it on me.

He was able to summon 8 devils per round. Now the reason for this thread is I would like to know if there is any defense for this.  And I dont wanna hear rushing opponent so he cant get that high in levels.  I would like to know defenses to this once in battle?? For example you can dispel or cancel illusioned creatures but this demonologist seems a bit to unreal.  Thoughts?

lol

I always try to use demonologist on circle of life or other map that is long enough...but was never able to summon something more than ice demons (at lvl 20). You must have played several months to see demonologist summoning devils. The only way to fight it is to prevent demonologist from casting this spell. It can be done by killing him, blinding, waspswarming, etc.

Well those ofcourse are the obvious.  I did trow mass confusion but he just dispeled it and summoned Devils anyways.  I just cannot believe there isnt a way ( besides banish) to deal with summoned creatures.  8 Devils is bad enuff but if the demonologist lasts till round 2 of battle now there is 16 Devils lol.  It is unstoppable. At least if someone ilusions 10 Dragon Golems you can waste a spell turn and dispel or cancel them.

Well you need grandmaster Necro & nature to summon the demons & he may of had the demonology book.

it takes about 28 lv ups just to reach the both grandmaster spells including probally have to get Summon & Necromancer raising skills so you probally need to get to a high lv 30's to get that skill

there is another way to kill those creatures
3-4 mages high level 10 and above with banish (a lvl 16 mage could get rid of almost 600 hp summoned) , but it's better to use hypno on his devils or teleport fast his demonologist.

Have a nice day

Cool. I read the info on it, and have been trying to get Demonologist. Just having Nature Magic by itself is really handy, but Demonologist sounds better. It appeared, on the surface, to be the best advanced class.

Is this true?

Heroes/Armies like that are what hit and run attacks are for.

Propably most know this by now: To disengage an enemy unit from blocking your shooter, attack it from behind (aka from the opposite direction where the shooter is) eating enemy's retalition. A simple tactic that have its use every now and then.

But who needs battle tactics when you've got Sanctuary? I personally haven't found many other spells that could mess up your enemy's plans better. It allows your heroes sit safely on the other side while your troops march forward in safety (until they attack, that is) to kill enemy heroes. One ugly combo to do (if you are Order) is to choose Mages instead of Golems and let them multiply for the final battle(s), cast Poison with Mages and then Sanctuary. That is if you get that spell.

Having problems with Vampires? They are what Animate and Raise (Mages aren't totally useless against Death after all) spells are for. And they are the best target for Disintegrate. And don't forget that Vampires can drain from Death Warded creatures only 1 health for every 3 damage they inflict (instead of normal 1 health for every 2 damage they inflict). Binding Arrow is also nice to have against them when you are Nature (you can be 100% sure that you get Quicksand).

This could be in very rare circumstances the winner of the day: Griffins + Aura of Fear + Snake/First Strike.

Genies' Illusions easy to Cancel or Dispel? Not when your heroes are under the effect of Cowardice or Song of Peace, the very same spells that Genies possess.
