[QUOTE="trimeulose, post: 256701, member: 1527"] I think I've been misunderstood here. Probably with good reason. The point I was trying to make is that demons live in the abyss. The abyss is known for its survival of the fittest atmosphere, and for its backstabbing and its "chaotic nature." Demons in my opinion can work together, but if they do it will be because of brute str rather than a shrude (sp) mind or sound battle tactics. For the major part demons will only listen to a superior if they know the superior is well VASTLY superior, and the leaders aren't much better. The most powerful demons have become powerful be being execellent combatants not excellent leaders, therefore if they are in the position to lead they will have only a basic knowledge of tactics and ordering soldiers. Even if they do there is a lesser chance that their subordinates will follow the orders. They might have a good sound strategy, and they might enforce it for a SHORT while, but in the end it will probably come down to chaos intervening. The demons will force the enemy into 1on1 fighting and and will try to get them to use lunge attacks. Or they might use other enemies as cover. Most Experience Players will note the war that has been going on with the abyss and hell for an unrecordable amount of time. How would hell be able to survive in a war against a superior outsider. Compare any of the Demons to their Devil counter-parts. The Demons are superior in almost every way. Devils have the tactical minds and the ability to keep order on the battle field. Demons are simply better fighters. End result Stalemate. My suggestion was simply to provide an example of how demons COULD work together. [/QUOTE]
