yep. if it weren't for the easy-to-muster-indie-priest banishment spam Yomi woulnd't be half bad. It's hard to solve the problem without, say, just making demons not vulnerable to banishment (which I think would be an acceptable solution). Something ad hoc like giving demons a +4MR vs banishment only or requiring at least H2 to effect demons is not really modable (I don't think) and not likely to be added by devs.

Demons just shouldn't be effected by banish. Smite Demon should become just a banish for demons while remaining H2. Aside from countering Yomi, banishing demons just isn't a common tactic or one that plays a role elsewhere in the game; ergo demons could be removed from the types of units the spell effects without really impacting the game (aside from making Yomi 'worth it').

Can banish be modded in that way (remove demons as being effected?) I didnt think it could.

It can be modded. Easily. Try this:

#selectspell "Banishment"
#spec 75763712
#end

The spec value makes it: MR negates, only affects hostile, works underwater and works only on undead.

"Only affects hostiles" is a change from the current version. I would leave it at "affects friendlies and hostiles."

Note that once Oni are killed into ghost-form they are undead, not demons. Thematically I like the idea of banishment only working on Oni once they're killed.
