(This is a suggestion about a race so I think it belongs in this post but I might be wrong
)
In my opinion you should make the demons red, with horns, hooves and tails, and make it so that only the high tiered demon troops are bigger but also have wings which would give them like a short range flying ability (like a simply higher and longer jump, you can take example from the jedi power jump in the Bear Force 2 mod)
I think a decent demon tree would be:
(male tree
Imp -> Hellspawn -> Hell Guard -> Hell Knight -> Nightmare(found out that name is taken, need to figure out a new one
)
-> Berserker -> Devil
-> Hellhound Rider -> Cerberus(Kerberos) Rider
(female tree
Demoness -> Succubus
Description of each troop:
Demon Imp - 1 handed sword, no armor
Hellspawn - 1 handed sword + shield, no armor
Hell Guard - 1 handed sword + shield, medium armor
Hell Knight - 1 handed sword + big shield, heavy armor (slow walking)
Nightmare - 1 handed sword + shield, very heavy armor (slow walking), all armor looks black and scary (
) and has a 10% chance of causing enemy to flee in terror upon hit
Berserker - bigger sized, 2 handed axe, no armor, has wings with a short fly (higher+longer jump) ability for charging, very high Iron flesh and Powerstrike
Devil - bigger sized, 2 handed axe, little armor, has wings with a short fly (higher+longer jump) ability for charging, extremely high Iron flesh and Powerstrike
Hellhound Rider - 2 handed long sword, rides a mount that looks like a big flaming hound that has higher charge ability
Cerberus(Kerberos) Rider - 2 handed long sword, rides a Cerberus (big 3 headed flaming hound) that has even higher charge skill (maybe even have a fire damaging aura around him as if he's spitting fire out of his heads
)
Demoness - Female demon, 1 handed dagger + Flamearrows
Succubus - Female demon, 1 handed sword + Fire balls and Flamearrows
A demon army's fighting tactic would basically be to send a bunch of riders and berserkers (which are very hard to train) to burst through the enemy's front rows so they can kill the enemy's archers while the lower rank troops charge to keep the defensive troops busy, while the nightmares and the highly armored troops prevent flanks against the female demons which serve as the demon's only ranged troops and have very low health. (being magic users they are better at taking out tanks and highly clustered enemies in front rather than trying to hit the archers behind so Demons have to burst through the enemy's defenses using the riders + berserkers to kill the archers)
A tactic to fight against a Demon army would be to get lots of highly defensive troops with a mix of swords/spears and place them in a few rows to prevent the Berserkers/riders from charging towards the archer (in rows so the succubus will waste their ammo on the first row instead of everyone dying together and so the Berserkers won't be able to jump past all the defensive troops at 1 go) and then trying to push the back row defenders against the chargers while the archers are taking them out (the demon's chargers aren't very well armored, only high health) and trying to get some very fast light cavalry to go around the armored troops and kill the very squishy demon magic throwers
I believe that would be a well balanced faction as they don't have any real good ranged except the Succubus and Demoness which would have a very low amount of magic projectiles with a slow regeneration rate (although very high damage) and are very easy to kill unless protected by other troops
Thank you for reading all that (if you did), congrats on finally getting your own board
and I just have to say this is currently my favorite mod out there!
