[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8054680, member: 7015558"] An interesting post, but completely misses the strength of the Devils and the weakness of the Demons; it isn't that one is organized and the other is disorganized. It is that one is [B]united [/B]and the other is in constant conflict with itself. The devils may plot and even fight battles together, but they are still bound by an extremely rigid hierarchical structure that keeps them focused on waging the Blood War. The demons have no such structure, and are actually in constant war with [I]each other[/I]. The Demon Lords are trying to destroy each other just as much as invade hell, and the smarter ones are actually more focused on fighting in the Abyss as it's more likely to be successful. It is completely true that if the Demon Lords all made an alliance with each other, they would absolutely sweep through Avernus, conquer the Nine Hells, and then likely the entire Multiverse with ease. But they can't do it; it's against their nature to hold any alliance for long, and an alliance between all the Demons is completely unheard of. So the Devils are only ever fighting a fraction of Demons at a time, as the bulk remain in the Abyss warring against each other. [/QUOTE]
