Exactly. This is best described with Onis (EA jomon) : flavor text explain that as demons they do not nead to eat, but that they love to eat, even while humans inferior are left to starve.

Thanks. I have to say the flavour text in this game is amazing.

Which simply means that you can't do combined armies using them.

No, that simply means that you may need to bring supply items when traveling through low supply provinces with large army of demons and mortals. No need to be dramatic.

Default Lanka first look comments.

Not only the Enemies of the Sun but also Sandhyabalas should have Darkvision, being demon ogres of the night who even gain STR in night.

The combination of air, blood, death, nature, Bandar longbows (!), and pretty decently armored infantry for move-2 EA is at first glance quite strong, although there are supply issues (the demonic troops all being gluttons), a lack of shields, and some old age issues with the hybrid mages. Quite a few national summons seem available in both Blood and Conj, including mage and assassin summons -- the Enemies of the Sun are fairly buff for non-unique mage summons, and the assassin summons come equipped with two magic weapons already. Nasty. Maybe not the most subtle of nations for those preferring massive stealth armies, but...

Oh, and undead monkeys. The priests, being demons, get to reanimate, and it looks like they get undead Bandar and Markatas and maybe Atavis (didn't check them all), generally favoring maces it seems. Nifty.

All their priests reanimate, even those who aren't demons. And yes, they get undead Atavi too.
