Where going totally off topic here.
as the source of daimonic power is influenced by players
I understand there always has been some kind of mechanic behind the daimons and they also required a limited amount of resources like gold or food, but then something entirely different.
But what exactly, I never really understood from just looking how they're played(which is actually what makes them so special and exciting).
Perhaps it also changed per invasion?
The daimon worshipers thing is pretty cool and can stay on, if they go underground to survive now, evolve into a secret society (if they havent already) and influence the continent from there in favor of the daimons, prepare the world for their next coming in secret.
Their temples stretch far and wide (outside of human realms) but will all be destroyed eventually.
None of the human realms seem to want to negotiate with daimon worshipers, nor the other way around really.
