* [[Cerberus]] are very powerful with Bless/Haste/Counterstrike.
* [[Pit Lord]]'s [[Summon Demons|Demon summon]] ability allows you to horde [[Demon]]s. Attack any creature and blind it so the battle lasts as long as you want. Cast Fire Wall/Fireball/Inferno/Meteor Shower on your Imps. When they die, raise [[Demon]]s, then finish the enemy.
* [[Efreet Sultan]]s are very good at clearing a map: they have speed, damage, and enough health. They can also be used in a [[Dracageddon]] combo.
* [[Castle Gate]]: A life-saver on maps where you control more than one Inferno town.


City Hall first. Castle walls and at least 3 different stacks by end of week 1.
===Cons===
* [[Arch Devil]]s are very expensive.
* [[Imp]]s and [[Familiar]]s are incredibly weak first level units, and have no redeeming features save their speed (the [[Familiar]]s' [[Magic Channel]] ability is hardly noticable).


Barracks and Monastery on days 6 and 7.

You play it with towns which are cheap and easily defensible. Your best shot might be Rampart, Fortress or Castle. I prefer Fortress because then you got no moral penalty if you combine your troops with whatever remaining in the barbarian's stronghold once you capture one.
