i've found that 2 scythe whirlers take out a giant demon. idk about the giant trolls because i killed the trolls before they sent giant trolls at me.

also, as previously asked a few times, what is up with playing campaign as demons?

LOL...just tried to see how an archer spam would work...it was fine against infantry, but then they got absolutely slaughtered by cavalry. One mounted spearman can easily slaughter 20 archers.

Yes, the cavalry slaughters archers well. Not unless a few guards are place in front.

I've never viewed Archers as a counter to Halberdiers, of course, I can easily see why, Halberds have little health and very low speed.


Lol, every time I sent out halberdiers they spammed archers to kill me. I just had to keep the archers away long enough for my halberdiers to move out of their range.

Quite sure. In fact I lost several king's guards to them like this. Was incrediably frusturating. Probably gonna use some hammermen now after all that I read about them.

I tend to do it in a 1:1 ratio, because the unique unit will certainly defeat the enemy, but due to the longer time it takes and they could pick different lanes, I compromise often. With Hammermen I could do it to up to a 1:5 ratio, though.

javelin thrower are a piece of cake just use some swordman with their sp ability

That is VERY useful.
Or if it's Men of the West vs Men of the West (Skirmish?), juse use a Shieldman.

also, as previously asked a few times, what is up with playing campaign as demons?

I don't know exactly what you mean, so I'll answer two possible questions:
Q: How come the "X race" owns all the land and I, as Demons are now in theres?
A: You probably completed the campaign with "X race", this is essentially the continuum.
Q: How do I play as Demons?
A: You are able to play as Demons by completing the campaign as any other race.

djstatika what do u think the best race is

They're all very good, and balanced. I don't think dj made it for any of the races to be the best (with exception to Arnolds of course). Possibly the Demons, but given their units, they seem perfectly balanced.

Also, Giant Demon or Giant Troll Charge, awesome.

Also a mounted charge is a formidable thing. If in the dying seconds you are losing by 2 or 3, then a mounted charge will almost certainly win it for you as to block a mounted unit you need at least 2 standard units, maybe halberdiers or swordmens, but 2 spearmen wouldnt do it.

Definately formidible, a tunnel-visioned player in multiplayer (hypothetical, no offense I just find the difficulty too easy for AI ), he would not see you are preparing a charge with the mounted units. I may simply try them against giant units, see how they pose against them.

i've found that 2 scythe whirlers take out a giant demon.

That's quite tough.
idk about the giant trolls because i killed the trolls before they sent giant trolls at me.

Looking at the statistics, I think Giant Trolls have more armor, I can't remember though.
I remember sending a giant demon up against a giant troll, and my demon lost. :O
I'll try either single-target unique units (Scythe Whirlers, etc), or cavalry. Thank you :P

A Swordsman with a Shield Defense ability can easily kill 50 of them once closed in.

Highfire, am I going mad, or did that post loop round a few times?

Im not sure what the best race is, I tried to make them balanced, but I think probably a giant troll charge is such a powerful thing that it probably makes trolls best

also i know have this bug. i beat the game as trolls yesterday and started a game as undead. everything was fine until i loaded up just now and all the sudden all the enemies are trolls.


I think ive fond this bug, but cant be sure. Hopefully there will be a new version put up soon that will fix it, but i cant be 100% sure. It will also fix mages.

I am unsure, I'd not seen it though - so no, I'd imagine

Do you know which is better? Giant Demon or Giant Troll? If you're wondering why I am asking, the quote should reference it enough

Fantastic! I will enjoy using the... I'll need a name for the special casters? Anyway, I find the replayability better than most flash games, and switching the spells with the magic units will be really good

Also, if you limit the abilities a... Specialcaster has, will he use that one more often?

At the moment, i think the giant trolls are better, but in the new version I have increased the power of the giant demons, so maybe they will be better.

Spellcasters can only use each spell so many times, so if you give them lightening bolt then they will only be able to cast twice. So it doesnt help to give them less spells unless you really want them to cast a particular spell. I think "Mind Control" and "Instant Death" might be an example of this. Using mind control you could potentially turn a giant troll round and have him attacking its own team! Instant death can instantly kill any unit
