''Summon demons'' is a special ability of [[pit lord]]s. Once per combat a stack of pit lords can permanently resurrect dead allied creature stack as [[demon]]s. Each pit lord in the resurrecting stack can summon up to 50 [[health|hit points]] worth of demons. The total health of demons summoned can not exceed the total health of the dead stack nor can the number of demons exceed the number of creatures in the dead stack. In other words, a stack of one [[archangel]] becomes one demon while a stack of one [[pikeman]] can not be resurrected.
While pit fiends do not have any special abilities, pit lords are able to summon [[demon]]s by resurrecting dead creature stacks. Each ppit lord can summon up to 50 [[health]] points wort of demons. Because demons have 35 hit points, this basically means that 7 pit lords can summon excactly 10 demons. However, total health of demons summoned this way can not exceed the total health of the dead stack nor can the number of demons exceed the number of creatures in the dead stack. In other words, the dead stack must have had at least 35 hit points in order for summoning to work. A stack of one [[pikeman]] cannot be resurrected while stack of four will summon one demon.


The formula: number of Demons = ((Total Hit Points of Dead Stack) or (50 x Number of Pit Lords), whichever is smaller) / 35, always rounded down and capped to (Number of Creatures in Original Stack)
It should be noted that [[non-living]] cannot be converted to demons. Additionally, health increasing artifacts ([[Ring of Life]], [[Ring of Vitality]], [[Vial of Lifeblood]] and [[Elixir of Life]]) are counted in the calculations dead creature stack's total health.

Pit fiends and pit lords are level 5 creatures of inferno town. They are recruited from the hell hole.

Pit fiends and pit lords attack with tormenting whip blows. Once per combat, pit lords are able to resurrect dead allied troops as demons in place of another action. The number raised cannot be higher than the number of pit lords performing the resurrection.

Special ability

While pit fiends do not have any special abilities, pit lords are able to summon demons by resurrecting dead creature stacks. Each ppit lord can summon up to 50 health points wort of demons. Because demons have 35 hit points, this basically means that 7 pit lords can summon excactly 10 demons. However, total health of demons summoned this way can not exceed the total health of the dead stack nor can the number of demons exceed the number of creatures in the dead stack. In other words, the dead stack must have had at least 35 hit points in order for summoning to work. A stack of one pikeman cannot be resurrected while stack of four will summon one demon.

It should be noted that non-living cannot be converted to demons. Additionally, health increasing artifacts (Ring of Life, Ring of Vitality, Vial of Lifeblood and Elixir of Life) are counted in the calculations dead creature stack's total health.

Demon herding

Demon herding is a tactic that can be used for Inferno. The basic idea is, that the player deliberately sacrifices imps and gogs in combat in order to summon them back as demons. This is based to the fact that imps and gogs have lower attack to defense ratings than demons, and therefore their hit points are more valuable. You can also herd demons from cheap low level troops from other town types. Additionally, cloning hero's pit lords will grant and extra number of demon summonings.
