Points to Ironhawks list but replaces 4 with tarrasques and tries to figure out where to add tartarians

Ironhawk, aside from Gaap and the astral AD, I can't figure out how the other devils are SC's ... can you make tell me a good strat in using them?

Give any arch devil regen, quickness, and decent prot via items. Probably +mr and reinvig as well. Script fireshield and attack (anything else?). They have great stats, high hp, fire immunity.

Edit: the above is with cb mods in mind...otherwise definitely want lifedrain.

For summons I agree with thejeff, it all depends on what gems you have. Summer lions I sometimes summon since its them or firesnakes, but I don't know that I'd pick fall bears over statues, mech. men, or heck maybe even crushers.

dragon scale armour (i love it), horror helm, boots of quickness, pendant of luck, ring of regen and maybe a wraith/hellsword (preferably hell unless vrs uber armour)

Ice Devils are great - low encumbrance, large, high HP, high MR - wait, ALL their stats are high, ALL THE SLOTS, extra tail-attack, self-casting Quickness and Breath of Winter, goes underwater...

Try summoning ANY ice devil, making it your prophet, give it a few items, and sending it to fight in a cold (preferably friendly) dominion. Notice how it kills everything and takes no damage...

besides fire shield also it's good to cast the spell which respawns him upon death... forgot the fire spell name(phoenix pyre?).

LoL I love this forum. Back on track though, anyone else have any opinions?

I'd probably go with Longdead cavalry instead of Claymen. They're fragile, but pack a nice punch.

It really depends on what gems I wind up with an excess of. I'm not fond of Claymen, but what else to do with all those water gems. Seasonal spirits the same way. Probably too expensive, but if you've got a high earth/fire income...

Faery Court, if only for healing.

Any mages who have paths other than what's needed to summon them. Nature gets you Lamias, which gets you death. Couatls get decent Astral, which can build boosters etc.
Even Draconians get you from Air to Nature if you haven't found druids.
