The rune mage REALLY changes this and makes life much easier not to mention the new and improved Call Phoenix.
Both the rune mage and phoenix can revive level 5 units.
Rune mage is basically a demonologist, a random disabler, and a tank all in one. He has the best qualities of a lot of the mages, but he is strong enough so you don't say "what a waste of a slot" like those inquisitors.
I am starting to be convinced that the Call Phoenix spell is grossly overpowered BUT almost necessary for a smoother Impossible Mage game play.
I just randomly started up a game, no save game scanner (do they even work) and doing OK so far. I used to almost never be able to beat "invincible" map guardian missions.
Anyway, I digress. Some of the new units might change things. Also, I think the new Dragon of Chaos gives a +1 morale to demons when alive, but it is soooo expensive and weak compared to Call Phoenix (then again, with a demonic army that +1 morale could be pretty darn scary).
