I prefer devils most of the time. It makes fighting the map a bit harder (although ice demons are nice fodder), but it pays off in endfights. Good chance to kill enemy heroes early on.

hmmm, I never had any problems taking monk / minotaur treasuries or abb. mines with 1 hero, 1 devil and a bit fodder (preferably ghosts). By the time I wanted to attack tougher guards, I usually had vampiric touch or a uber-tactician, so that I lost no devils either.
Then again, I mostly play on intermed or adv difficulty (games take long enough already), so that might be different on higher diff.

4th Level Creatures
Academy: Titans
Preserve: depends on which summon spell i have lol - usually Faerie Dragons, and then i summon Phoeni, since you barely ever lose the Dragons (spellcasters) but Phoeni are more offensive
Haven: Angels
Asylum: Black Dragons
Stronghold: Probably Thunderbirds
Necropolis: Hardest decision... I guess Devils

devil is the way to go...
several reasons for that.
a weak one: they are fastest on the adventure map (move 35) so if your hero is mighty enough to leave the vamps home you can ride on devils supafast. hardly ever happens though.
a medium one: devils are complementary to vamps while boners just try to do what vamps do -- reach enemy army at second battle round and bite and be strong. One nasty battle for death is e.g. magi behind the dwarves that are too far to be reached by vamps, or medusi behind nightmares etc. Bonedragons cant help here, but devils are able to go and kill the magi before they manage to do any harm.
an important one: devil is the only creature that can move nicely even after being slowed down. biggest threat to death is order, and from order heroes mass slow is only to be expected. unless you have your own order mage present, dispelling that can be difficult. your army is quite immobilized, but the movement of slowed down devil is 25 -- better than hasted vampires or normal blackies. you still manage to be dangerous on turn one
most important one: devil is the ultimate hero killer that needs no line of sight and that no-one can run from even if it is slowed. kill the enemy tactitian on turn one and thus reduce the attack strength of his entire army by 33%... or get rid of his dangerous top wizard. best yet -- it works wonders with cancellation. low level death mage can cancel the immo potion after which devil finishes the hero for good. of course the danger is that devil can get hypnotized, but luckily hypnotize is line of sight spell, so davils can be sit safe in the back row (after they come out from there, enemy no longer has anyone to hypnotize with). only one thing can stop devils from killing off enemy hero: berserk (no LOS!). but then the enemy cannot cast mass slow at the same time -- bon voyage, vampires....

Just one thing to add. Devils are not faster on adventure map than Vampires. Both moves 30 - this is the maximum unmodified movement. Forget that 35 written (Vampire has 38 written BTW).

Yes, I play the game only on the forums.

Actually It's very hard to compare these creatures. Bonies are fast, hard to kill, and demons are not made to fight toe-to-toe with other 4 level strong creatures (but perfect for slaying heroes). But they summon Ice Demons, which are very useful. Bonies have a no retalation ability, which makes them stronger and better. The growth of the both creatures is the same, but I would choose Bonies (and I always do).

Bonies don't have no retaliation ability, only Fear. It's far from being the same.

If vampires were chosen, naturally i'd choose devils. I won't have enough crystals for the bone dragons then. On the other hand, bonies would be good if venom spawn were chosen instead. I find that bonies work better in smaller maps. Definitely a hard choice here

Bonies are the way to go! The only strong point in favor of devils is their greaaatt movement.... I mean teleport distance.... so you can just take an Order mage and teleport the Bonies wherever you want them..... That's what I usually do
