Ferry the slaves around with scouts. In fact, ferry all gems/slaves around with scouts if you're not using them. Also ironically enough, the demon lords are considered subpar by nearly all experienced players. I think you mean the unique Arch Devils and Ice Devils though, those are beasts for their cost.

I do use scouts for carrying things around, but blood slaves are still a pain and blood spells still cost alot of fatigue. (in Dom3 i have also seen the AI attack with the slaves!) And yes, i did mostly mean the Arch and Ice Devils, though i also think the others are worthy except that it's often too much research to for just a couple summons that you may not be sure are still available by the time you get there.

(BTW, not sure i ever congratulated you on your excellent victory in the Dragon game- Gratz!)

Hehe, thanks, you had me sweating there for a moment though when you managed to take down those SC's so easily. After that, I just stripped all the SC's down and said the hell with it and just sent in them as battlemages instead =).

Hey, here's something that looks "not realistic" (using quotes because I'm not sure how having God wannabes taking over a whole world and sending whole nations to destroy each other - or themselves can be said to be "realistic"): I can see magic gems as being something a trained scout/spy could move about relatively easily while avoiding detection as usual, but I have a harder time picturing the same guy moving about stealthily with 30 white-clad virgins in tow...

All eyes r on the 30 white clad virgins...so the scout hides in the background even easier...
