principes need lots of ressources, so the ratio would be somewhere between 1:2 and 1:3 what would not pose any real trouble for the palankashas.

Pankasha do not have a very high magic resistance.

A communion, spamming Banishment (or destroy demon!) can, if not win, at the least do horrendous damage to a Lankan army.

My Shadow Vestals are MR 18.

as I said, they are really hard to beat.

Banish is aoe 4 and 5AN damage, am i correct that the aoe increases by one per additional priest level, but how high would the damage increase?

Banish does 3 + 2 /level, area 2 + 2 / level.

Thus, archtheurgs spamming banish with four commuion slaves do:
holy 5 -> avg 11 pts each, at +2 penetration.

Against an MR 13 unit like a typical rakshasa, 38% under the template get hit each turn. Alternatively, they can smite a single demon for 25 pts.

Against an astral-bless vestal, you only hit 11% of the vestals under the template - and each shadow vestal *still* gets to negate the first hit. That's a lot better than nothing but it's not going to save you.

Now, if you're smart and only use the blackfaces instead of the demons, Pythium is in a lot of trouble. But even those guys you can't recruit 10+/turn like I can with shadow vestals. I still think he would've been screwed.

Palankashas have mr 12, 30 hps, AND should regenerate as one of their double 9 blesses.

If you rely on banish you are doomed. Lanka is a beast early.
That is why any race that can neutralize them is doing the world public service and should be richly rewarded by the other nations.

If you know them better, you will see that lanka is acually a nation of peaceful art-loving demons, and noone benefits from their destruction.
