Is there a place that lists the stats/abilities/text of the unique summons in the game?

Specifically I am interested in how many Demon Lords there are. I have seen 3.

I think there are only 3 and i suggest you check out edi's unit database.

Among Demon Lords, I count Pazuzu (unr 446), Belphegor (unr 810), Belial (unr 900), and Buer (1405).

Buer the Goat Sun is new to D3, if memory serves. The first three are all summonable via Summon Demon Lord, but I haven't bothered testing whether Buer is also possible, and my manual's at home.

Buer is the fourth one. His description unambiguously names him as one and his magic and powers are in line with those of the other demon lords, if not greater. Autocasting Heat from Hell at the start of battle is already fairly impressive.

Yeah, I've summoned him with Summon Demon Lord, he's pretty funny looking.

The description trys to throw you off by saying that there are only three known demons lords... I guess Pazuzu is the fourth, unknown demon...

I think Buer is the fourth, or atleast the latest to be introduced.

If by "trys to throw you off" you mean "the devs forgot to update the description when they added a new Demon Lord" I agree 100% http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

if i summon him, i always wish he had not come.

I guess that's what happens when you mess around with demonology lol.

Send him to attack your enemies, kill their armies and raid their provinces. He doesn't need stealth for that.

Or send him to a barren province and ask him to summon giant armies of storm demons - and then send them all to attack your enemies, kill their armies, and raid their provinces.

Does this mean there's more demon leutenant-types down the line? sn extra heliophagus? a couple more arch-devils?

It'd be interesting to know-I'd really like to see "neutral" forces get more of a leg up over player-nations.

Kinda-sorta-maybe-not along those lines, it would be fun to have a map in which it was the player-nations vs the "forces of the Pantocrator". Have a major power neutral nation of all new unit types led by a "Pantocrator-Pretender" and force the players to ally and take the "Pantocrator" out before they duke it out themselves.

Just a thought.

Which description? The 3.06 description of Bind Demonlord does not mention any specific number. It only says "very few". If the descriptions of the Demonlords themselves refer to only three, those arer holdovers from Dom2.

I thought I looked in the unit database but I dont recall it flagging units as demon lord or whatever. I was interested in powerful, unique summons though. What else is good?

Yeah I feel the same way. To my dismay I gave him a black heart and assumed it would give him stealth along with assassinate. It didnt.

Wasn't Pazuzu stealthy in Doms2? Did it get changed or is my memory getting fuzzy?

No idea in Dom2 but the only stealthy Demon Lord I have seen is Belial.
