Keep in mind there are nations (Marignon/DF comes to mind, and Abysia too with their fire-3/blood-3 hero) which have mages who can bind Arch-Devils easier than Ice Devils.

And Arch-Devils easily outperform Ice Devils in Heat+3.

Arch-Devils also come inherently with Flying (as has been noted) thus freeing up a foot slot (Boots of Quickness anyone?).

Flying boots (5 air) versus quick boots (10 water). Flying boots win...

Depending on the nation.

How many nations have access to water without access to air?

Mictlan only has air if you get the eagle priest hero. Other than that all the water nations can get a single random in air.

Mictlan has lots of magic, but all the mages are expensive (initially) and the lack of randoms is quite painful... no entry into non-national paths.

They are a good example, though. +1 heat - not too bad. Ice devils still have much higher HP and higher protection... Also, Breath of Winter is nice for combat. You cast it once and it's done; AD has no similar continual heat-effect boosting spell. I would rate BoW and Flame Shield as equal versus living armies.

BTW, anyone know if an AD with Rime Hauberk can radiate heat and cold at the same time?
