Inferno Demon Farming - How to ? Explain demon farming and some overal inferno strategy would be good too. Also do you sacrifice imps to raise horned demons ? And in terms of magic - would wisdom and fire magic be as good as earth or wind ? If you get expert berserk or frenzy can be great for devils. Also combat tips, I guess take care of the pitlords so you can raise demons once a stack has fallen. The issue about their troops is they don't got powerful shooters and not a lot of hp, they got tons of speed. How I imagine the combat is effreti fly out to attack shooters, cerebri go out to hit 2-3 units....... that's it lol. Well depends with devils speed you can wait and have them come to you, cause you can hit and just go back begining of the next turn. I had Homm3 I don't know when but maybe.... 13 years ago or even 15 I don't even know. But didn't play competitively just with my brother, did play a few online games. ____________ Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

Speaking from memory here.. I think you can get Efreeti very early, I was never particularly good at creeping, and I found it easy with those. Devils first week is usually possible. Pit Lords are first a week 2 priority. Turn all your level 1-3 units into Demons as it suits you. I don't care much of Magog's, if I had to choose, I'd probably even prefer Cerberus. Still better as Demons, in my opinion. Of course it depends, if you really need those shooters, don't convert them ASAP. Diplomacy is always the best skill.. you don't need any other strategy if you've Diplomacy. If you get other towns, you can turn their units to Demons as well. That's one of the better parts, you can essentially combine the growth of several different towns as one unit. Btw. don't bother converting units beyond level 4, it's usually not worthwhile. I preferred Inferno on XL maps, and in general I preferred XL maps, but it was mainly because I enjoyed playing with friends who were worse than me, so I could give them time to build up, and give them the feeling it was an interesting game. On small maps, I don't think Inferno is particularly good, I'd much rather have Dungeon there, that's assuming Necro and Conflux are banned. Usually Stronghold is considered very good on small maps, but I like them better on larger maps than small. I prefer Earth & Wind way above Fire magic, but there should always be room to try out new stuff and see if it's fun. I'm sure Fire magic can be fun. The Efreeti Fire Shield, iIRC, returns damage depending on the attackers damage, not the attackers defense! This means when comparing to the damage the Efreeti Sultan can deliver, a higher level units takes more punishment from attacking the Sultans. Further more, the shield retaliates against everything. I never liked to have to deal with neutral stacks of Sultans. About the low hp of the town, I did not experience difficulty from neutral stacks once I'd Efreeti's, Devils had no problems at all.

The first thing you shall do when playing as Inferno is to scout the area around you. It might sound like a "common" advise but the Inferno cannot take on archer packs in the start like many other towns and thus you must save them for later and therefore you need to know how to plan your chaining to drain the map fast. All of your precious units are all "demon candidates" , so you do not want to lose more than you have to vs the map. So spend the first days scouting, killing weaker non archer/slow packs by using imps to kite and gogs to weaken the enemy. At D3/D4(depending if 2nd dwelling is prebuilt) you get your efreetis and start clearing the map (make sure you have a chain ready so you can clear as much as possible as you are starting a bit "later" compared to other towns. At D5/D6 you should buy the devil dwelling if you can. The devil is perhaps the best unit vs the map. With slow and/or spirit of opression you can take out a lot of strong guards (if you have SoO artifact and you see any slow-walker pack, make "quick" work of them.) At W2D2 you should have your Pit Lords and may the farming commence. Now comes the tricky part. You must know what fight is best to "burn" a sacrifice on. You need to test/play a while so you notice what kind of monster the AI loves to go for, thus you can predict what creature you will "sacrifice". Overall the trick with the inferno is to sacrifice your units in the roughest fights so you "shield" your more valuable troops from harm (note that all units are valuable, in other words, lose none xD). As for magic: Earth is certainly strong and even air can be handy. Good luck! Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

I find that when you play the game in casual circ*mstances, it's more important to try to play in a way that's friendly towards your friends than to increase your odds at winning. Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

Remember the plan Ohforfsake, Capitol on W2D1, then stay in home zone until end month 1. Then we go out and fight. I had to laugh out loud this is what I've been doing for years and picking inferno without any farming, only time I beat my brother is when I had first week Behemoths and came with upgraded bunch to his castle. Was many years ago. Now I move out a lot. And the classic let's meet up for the end fight Good times Also we sued to think Fortress was the weakest town cause they don't have any good shooters, just 1 bad shooter, we used to play shooters and nobody wanting to get close to take the first hit, and ban berserk Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

You can use your power to e.g. cast implosion and then surrender. If your ímplosion deals 2500 damage (power 32), then you can take out 10 AA's in one round, surrender and redo. Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

Tip:1)pick unit No you don't need to tell me that Divine. However it seems like I have to explain how demon converting works for you. One Pit Lord can resurrect demons by 50hp/pit lord. Hell Hound is the easiest sacrificed creature in terms of health conversion, as they come by the number of 25 hp/hell hound, which means a stack of 14 hell hounds will give you a perfect resurrection. The gogs are the most annoying ones to convert efficiently and the numbers here depends on your map losses. 350/13= 27 gogs required. So I am sorry Divine, but it seems you need to amelioriate your knowledge on the game mechanics. Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

Interesting part is, that if you change demon's HP(wog or health artifacts), the amount of HP you need to sacrifice will increase respectively. However, health artifacts are actually useful in demon farming if you use low level creatures, because they increase their HP by bigger factor than they increase demon's. That is actually a way to make peasants more useful Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

It looks like it doesn't. I just tested a save from TEW4 where demons are upgraded to 250 HP each, imps to 16 HP each and the ratio is still 1:1, like it was when demons had 40 HP. Send Instant Message | Send E-Mail | View Profile | Quote Reply | Link | |||

Why are you assuming you want exactly 10 Demons/have 7 Pit Lords? I think his point was that if you've e.g. 35 imps with 4 hp each, giving a total of 140 hp, then that's the same amount of hp that 4 Demons has. 50 hp/Pit Lord is relevant, but as long as you've sufficient Pit Lords with you, it doesn't have to be a limiting factor. It's not like having an extra Pit Lord in the summoning process account for much, because you don't lose units.. the only way I can see it'd matter is if it's a map with very few critters.
