- Humans and Goblin can be Magi
Feudal
- +10% Mining, +10% attack, start with 2 WG, 1 Prince, and 1 Magi

- Tolls and Humans can be feudal
Demonologist
- +10% defense, starts with 2 WG and 2 Demons
- Will end up with 3 WG, 2 Dark Knights, and 4 Demons once you have all you characters
- Lessor Demon is most demon players favorite spell for it speeds leaders home from combat allowing them to attack more often
- Invisibility is quite nice too, it can be cast on clan mates and on yourself and it boosts spying and thieving operations
- Careful with that open-gate. Using open-gate outside of war can lead to unhappy campers.
- You typically want a pop based terrain, Coastal, Plains, or Forest... but Hills and Barren have both been known to work for demons...
- Only Goblin and Elf can be Demon
