Those demons have over 130 strength, don't even get near them unless its with a long lance and you are on a clear field. I did cleanup on a Heretic army that one of the factions had spent about 1,000 men fighting for nearly a week straight and took it down to less than 100 for me to sweep in and claim the final victory. Combat skills all 9 or 10 with weapon proficiencies in the 600s and almost 100 hp. After looking at the stats on those guys I think most of the battles will be much easier now.
Captured the hero and forced him to trade his freedom for a qualis gem and founded my first knight order. Went back to my castle and reinforced with fresh guys. Pissed off my guys and terrible for morale but no choice. First battle I was completely wiped out in their first wave and I choose to retreat. I think they had about 250 men but over 100 were high level knights. I just won my first one completely on my own vs one of the smaller adventuring companies. The battles vs the large spawn armies are tough.
I think I lost 12 guys taking my first castle but you need a critical mass of decent troops because while only 12 died it took 2 waves and about 40 were wounded. Much of that large # is low level troops which die fast. The sieges vs castles in PoP are the same sizes as vs towns in vanilla so if you've taken town before it is similar what you need to win most of the time. I didn't take my first castle until had 90 men and was about level 23.
