meristem posted:Like I said, I only played the two first games, but isn't Dark Side unnecessarily... edgy? Like in the vein of "haha, good and evil are just two sides of the same coin, and being 'evil' is just another word for being a 'freedom fighter'"? Because it was rumours to that extent that kept me from playing it in the first place. I've never been much for this type of equivocation. Only at first glance. You're playing as an orc/succubus/vampire so of course they're going "we're totally freedom fighters not evil bastards". Then you proceed to cheat, betray, backstab, deceive, forsake and generally be quite cartoonishly evil towards everyone and everything in the world (minus a couple catspaws here and there). The narrative is not "good is evil and evil is good", it's "everyone in this bloody world is horribly evil and the two competing flavors call themselves light and dark".

Glazius posted:Whoof. Swapping any two units in a tactical context is murder. Is it any two units? Like, can you zoom a fast unit into the enemy lines and then swap in a tank, if you've got a demoness working for you? Any two, barring magic immunities IIRC, so no swapping black dragons and similia. Demonesses are, in my opinion, one of the best units player side for the sheer tactical fuckery opportunities swap gives you. By the way, charmed enemies are valid sacrifice spell donors, so it's fun times all around.

Gully Foyle posted:Oh yeah, the Demoness has a ton of potential. I admit I haven't used them that much, since it takes a while to get access to them and often times I don't bother getting the Tolerance skill. Yeah, demonic units cratering your morale and having restricted access is absolutely a necessary balance decision. In KB: The Dark, where you have immediate access to them and you don't actually need Tolerance for various reasons, the Demoness is insane. My standard mid-game tactic in that game was to swap my Demon stack with a ranged stack, while the Demons lay havoc in the enemy backline charm said ranged stack and sacrifice it to replenish the Demon numbers. It's insanely effective.
