Default Re: Demon Lords

I disagree, they are not useless.

They are *hard to use*, but that's not the same as useless.

Furthermore, they are, generally speaking, not as good as the mages you would otherwise recruit out of your national forts.

Personally, I think the game would benefit from parallel recruitment - you can recruit one mage out of your lab, one priest out of your temple, and one non-mage non-priest out of your fortress. That way, people would actually use their national commanders, assassins, spies, etc. because they wouldn't be instead-of a mage.
