From the non-unique Thugs imo the devil is the best because he only costs 30 blood , has a very good att/def + built in fly / FR . Only the -50% CR hurt + possible use of Flamebeaus/Herald lances against him.

Well, there I disagree. I prefer bane lords
Code:
Unit Name Sz HP Prt Mor MR Enc Str Att Def Pre Mv Ldr
Devil x1 3 35 8 30 17 2 14 18 16 12 3/12 25/25
Bane Lord x1 3 42 20 18 16 0 19 14 14 10 3/6 25/125
The key differences being lack of flying, higher price (10D vs 30Blood), but 2 full resistances (CR, PR vs FR, CS), better base equip (so non-full equip is a possibility) Encumberance (this is importnant if fighting stuff like skeletons or false horrors), Strenght (importnant vs high-prot units), and lack of 4 attack and 2 def.

Good post Tuna
.
The big disadvantage with the banelord for me is though his undeadness . Dust to dust + Wither bones will make dust of him unfortunately rather easy , to a lesser extent the same with solar rays .
Once the enemy has a staff of storm the Banelord is imo really screwed with his then really slow movement .
Already earlygame the banelord is kinda screwed against any nation with air or nature mages who have death as well .
So ctis , jotunheim and machaka especially can give the banelord a great threat early with the eagle eye + dust to dust combo .
Earlygame though your bigger mobility is an advantage and the enemy can't protect all his provinces with 1-2 mages .
But in mid - lategame in bigger battles the banelords are very likely to get killed by wither bones and similiar while these spells don't work against a devil thug .
Are there any other good non-unique summonable thugs/scs ? Tartarians are excellent but only if you have GoH or the Chalice .
