Video summary

In this episode of Heroes 3 gameplay, the player continues to control Sephroth after securing the Necropolis and upgrading her estate, focusing on resource management and strategic prioritization. Rather than immediately investing in costly structures like the Portal of Glory or expanding into Red's territory, the primary objective is to prepare for the arrival of Jedi to confront the main antagonist, Picadram. The player carefully manages spell points, utilizing abilities such as Chain Lightning and Meteor Shower to defeat enemy units like Griffins and Harpies, while deliberately avoiding risky engagements with powerful foes like Bone Dragons unless absolutely necessary. This cautious approach allows for the consolidation of forces and the careful preparation of Jedi's army, which includes Minotaurs and Kings, ensuring they are ready for a decisive battle at the portal. As the campaign progresses through Day 7, significant developments occur within the party and the broader narrative. A new hero named Alamar joins late in the game, learning spells like *Bless* and *Bloodlust*, before eventually usurping leadership by claiming the throne of Arathia and departing. Meanwhile, Sephroth secures Archangels but must make a difficult choice regarding skill upgrades, rejecting stables and opting for Navigation instead of Air Magic after losing the latter ability. The player also acquires several key artifacts, including the Crest of Valor, Enchanted Sword, Resurrection, the Pendant of Downfall, and pieces of the Armor of the Damned, all while managing hero levels and spell expertise to maintain a competitive edge against various threats. The gameplay involves complex logistical challenges and tactical positioning, particularly during naval battles against Taurus where range limitations and chain lightning mechanics prevent a successful kill. The player must also navigate conflicts with Tamika, utilizing Luna's resurrection ability to survive potential deaths and manage army morale effectively. Throughout these engagements, strategic emphasis is placed on preventing enemy flanking and maximizing damage output before retreating or repositioning as needed. Additionally, the player ensures that no angels die during critical conflicts while dealing with formidable enemies like giants, balancing the need for aggressive offense with the preservation of valuable units. Ultimately, the episode concludes with the player well-prepared for the final confrontation against Picadram, having balanced resource expansion, hero development, and artifact acquisition. The decision to delay expensive construction projects in favor of strengthening Jedi's forces demonstrates a clear long-term strategy aimed at securing victory in the upcoming decisive battle. By managing logistics, optimizing skill choices, and completing essential quests, the player builds a robust army capable of facing the main antagonist. This episode sets the stage for the climactic showdown, highlighting the importance of patience, strategic foresight, and careful unit management in overcoming the challenges presented by powerful enemies and complex campaign objectives.

It was mostly me me. Pride cometh before a fall. Sephro, heed my words. Now [music] [singing] >> Padram, I see now your Schwarz is as big as mine. Oh, he's going to get [music] all this delicious stuff. Can he beat lots of scorpionicores with this army? Well, he won't laugh. He can do this though. It's kind of almost cruel that we can watch Picadram just kicking absolute butt. He can upgrade his genies and get arch mages here. Uh these are all amazing opportunities that he's got. Kill these. Get more giants. We've got work to do. We've got an economy to catch up on. Does this have a capital? Did they ever build a capital? Thank god. Okay, good. I never ever even checked that. Uh, right. Let's start with Xi and do this week one fight. picking up where Ranloo [music] should have left off. 25 points of damage. It's not amazing. 70 is [music] maybe better. Just icebolt is better, right? Better than blind. Why do I only have 22 of 60? Don't know. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Short range. Long range rather. I don't know why I'm doing this. There's no morale chance. Uh we'll do this. thing is I probably shouldn't have bothered because there's a um wishing well on my way back up. So I didn't need to save a turn of uh spell points there. Although she's only got 14. Um, okay. Yeah. Uh there's some more skeletons around here for me if I kill them. So, let's do that. That was a good little uh good little day. This guy can't just land here. Um but that would be a waste. We want to get some scouts in. I don't have great movement out here on the water, but I think that's worthwhile since we're here anyway. Not a lot JGar can do other than follow the plan that he was destined to follow. It's all good. Luna, you can't fight those great charments. I don't want you to. Uh, you can't fight them. You can fight. That's barely a throng, though, isn't it? We'll be all right. more firewall shenanigans like that. It just cracks me up, man. [laughter] just willingly w like if they came if they took damage and continued walking and it's like oh this grim assessment we're going to have to do it guys you know come on we're going to have to grin and bear it um but it's the fact that the stack dies like look at this >> [laughter] >> Why are you going to walk that way? [laughter] Just cracks me up. [snorts] Yeah. So abusable. Jedi did this. Now, we have seven grand, but I would like kings, and I'd like these ones, too. And I feel like the thing can bring them to me later. If I don't have them, I'm still very strong. Getting more angels, doing stuff around here, so I can live without them. I want to do this and hope that this hooks around. If it doesn't, I'll be sad, but I will. come to you. All right. I do like this graphic. And I think we'll flag this. We don't certainly won't be buying them cobalts, but um let's get them accumulating. Um, scouting is pretty nice here, isn't it? We should be able to do all these fights. A pack of cotals. How fast is a total? I want to check that. I think they're faster than me. Nope. Kotal is speed 11. So, that's a fight I will be doing. Can I just do this right now? Who's going to stop me? Huh? Oh, someone has been here. That's a bit unlucky. So, the angels are at minus one now, I think. Yeah, minus one for the next fight. That's not ideal. So, someone's been here, but they haven't done these other things. What a load of nonsense. Uh, spending. I don't think so. [music] We have a castle here. We must have. So, yeah. What's left here to start investing in? I mean, we do want the upgraded estate. We want, but we just don't have to. Um, wood and ore isn't a problem. I'm not spending five grand on that. Back home. Just don't need to yet. It's probably dragon [music] cave. Actually, we save up and do that. Bring Jedi some dragons. All right, let's keep an eye on this area. There we have a tan hero, Alen. He's still alive. How are you there and still alive? Well, actually, it would be amazing if Tan stole this off Pink. That's useful for me. All right, let's watch him. Great. Alcenia nuisance. Oh, purple's contesting it as well. Okay, finally tan gives up the ghost. Oh, pink is getting very strong up there. That's pretty scary actually. Um, that's where they're up to. Is pink the one that have conquered have Yeah. Yeah. Well, they know we know where they've got the rampart, but do they have three towns now? No. Okay. The rampart is only their second town. That's actually really good. The other crew is red. Yeah. They don't look quite as impressive. Oh, it's getting juicy here. It's getting very, [music] very juicy. Contend harpies. And do you have mysticism? You must. Yeah, I was going to say [music] adv. Yeah, his specialty is mysticism because he's he just seems to replenish a hoorde of them this time. Don't desperately need you to do this. I only have four lightning bolts. It's a bit risky. Go one more day and I'll have um two more lightning bolts up my sleeve. Surely that's been taken. Yeah. Okay. Someone has been here, so that's good. Uh, come here. Tempted to just have a look. Go on. Well, come here. Let's just see. I kind of want to know what's down here. although the fastest thing on the pitch. Look at that. Wisdom. Well, there are a lot of very nice spells back at base. I don't have anime dead. I'll take the wisdom. I'm never coming back here. So, we may as well now cuz Yeah, it's fine. All right, Luna finishes that. Not too interested in her well-being as we've said before. Cool. Oh, I like that. I love that. Tucked away in the corner. A little Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very nice. Who do you want to do first? Hello boots. [snorts] Okay. Is red. Um, is that their hometown? Well, Sant is their best hero. So, I wonder if that's Green's town. They're the ones who murdered Green. Oh, well, that's no joke. I don't actually think I want to do that. Do I want to invite them out though for a for a tango? If he came out to me with that army on the open field, I would destroy them. Unless it depends who the hero is. What do we think? [snorts] I'm very tempted to just do it. Take it now. I think we've got to try. I think we got to do it. We got to get these scouts. Let's [music] do this. I don't need this. Hello. We doing it. The army is not very good. I cast visions. I can't tell if there's a garrisoned hero there, but if it's a if it's a good hero, it's got a it's a [music] very poor army if it's a decent hero. Two chain [music] lightnings and this fight's over. I do lose an I lose at least one angel. don't know resurrection, [music] but I don't care. The momentum, whatever Red, whatever Fant is up to, I'm about to take this off him. We're doing this. Yeah. No, it's just monks. Okay. Yeah, it's a shame. What's the chunkiest unit? Why are there whites here? Vance whites ruining their morale. Um 450 there, 500 here. I think it's bang bang. This is also decent. Probably hitting the pikeman is the most [music] cost efficient thing to do. You could also do this 450. That just wipes that block out there. No, it doesn't kill the Okay, expert. That's 450. 585 is better than 450. I'm sorry. It just is. Um, guess we can try fighting as well. I certainly hope I don't lose um in a way it might be better to lose an angel than a bone dragon. That's that's good. There's no way ahead of it. might get lucky. They might go for the bone dragon. Somehow I'm happier. [laughter] Somehow I am a lot happier uh with that outcome. Let me kill this. Who's left? Uh Bony Joanie needs to run away, I think. So, let's eight swordsmen. How dangerous are they? Be very careful here. We don't want another turn. So, can eight swordsman deal 81 damage? No. No, they cannot. So, it's quite simple. A humble fireball for 15 mana. Oh, meteor show's cheaper. So, do that. Wait, run. Commit suicide, please. Thank you. Oh. Oh, they didn't die. Okay, get in there. Whoa. Level four. Could be anything. Resurrection could be in here. [laughter] Actually, I am an uh expert water mage. So, I already knew clone, I think. But water is the most powerful spell in the entire map um in [music] terms of adventure adventure mode. Now, there won't be any creatures here. Um yeah, and this was Greenstown that's been conquered. Okay. Um, could just build this. Why can't I build it? I don't have enough money. Did she spend the night? You can do this unconquered stuff. Strange. Stay there tonight. It's going to be stables, I think. Stay here for now. You know, one thing we could do actually would be to hire a um hire a hero here. Who's available? Yep. About that guy. Yep. Let's do it. Great. How much risk do I want to take? I want to take plenty of risk I think with him. Do you want to speak to her? Is there any point? Do not speak to me. Oh. Uh yeah, someone [music] needs that. Someone needs that crest of valor. Uh now, who was it? This guy. So, there's a little quest log you can tick. Aha, here he is. Tim the seer. Christo Valor. I think that's here. Tim, where are you? Timmy, is that him? Was there another one up here? Feel like there was maybe another one in there. No. She's in the way. Can't find out. Right. Last man to move. Jedite. I just need the shield of the awning dead after that. Lots of power ledges. [music] Now I do have the first turn. What am I planning to do? I can't blind them. It's about the best I can hope for if they're spread out. Haste on the angels is another option. [snorts] Yeah. Oh, it's not a very fun fight this one. It's only lots. I'm going to go for it. Interesting. 30, huh? All right. What if I just haste you? Um, well, you've got amazing targets, so I'm going to go here and offer you the harpies. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Oh, who'd you go for? Not bad. Okay, this game's over. Uh, Jedi. He learned the Earth magic, so he's free to do what he wants now. Sorcery, I think. Sorcery. Does he know meteor shower? He doesn't, but he will. Where has meteor shower? Is it uh the necropolis? I can't find out. Yeah, most of the time I want to be resurrecting. Honestly, I am a warlock though. I'm going to say no. I think it's close. I think it's very close. Yeah, this is more important. Okay, cool. Pick up the sword. Oh, yeah. It's the widow of a former captain of the guard. Gives her the He gives you the enchanted sword. Oh, yes. You notice a bobcat climbing a tree. You climb the tree yourself and scare off the cat. When you look in the nest, you find the ring. Great. Great. Great. Love that. And growing knowledge for this fellow. Lots of Corsairs. Same layout. I think we just say no to this. Don't pursue against the Wolf Raiders. Um, that's a fairly annoying fight, isn't it? Goblins all maybe die. Let's find out how many there are. What's my prize here, by the way? Wolf, raiders, picket. What do they give you? Cyclops. They give you Cyclops. That's the prize. I'm nearly sure. I don't really want any Cyclops anyway. Well, I do have H. I could use some Cyclops, I suppose. I just don't have a very good solution to them. And they're going to kill Trogs, and that's not in my interest. I'm just going to leave it. Okay. Okay. Unfortunately, it doesn't connect through either. So, we've slapped down a gauntlet here. It's like, what can Red do in response to this? Is it nothing? Feels like you're planning to do nothing about it. I was thinking there about what we want to do with Sephro and the money uh and our opportunity. So, yes, we've conquered the castle. There isn't a portal of glory in there. I could build one. It's expensive. And that would add to her three angels and one day she might be able to link up with Jedi's angels maybe. Is that better or is it better to really go for Necropolis? One reason why we might want to put money and effort into Necropolis is that if we check the scenario info, we can see that red indeed, and this isn't surprising, right? That red is in fact necropolis. And red was the town that uh I took this off, which means they're not far away. So red and green spawn sort of two zones apart I think in this template typically. Uh so well no I mean all the time right because that's how the template works. Um so Red's hometown isn't far away and it's probably better that we try to do that. Um you can see here Thant is their best hero but he's [music] not a very good hero. Um, and uh, yeah, so we've knocked him down to one town. We have three. Pink has two. Pink is kind of the player I'm the most worried about because I can physically see them unlocking fun things here with Pikatra. His arm is not great, though. Anyway, that's what I'm thinking of doing. Uh, I think I am just hitting the end turn button. Uh, I'm happy with Sephro. I'm happy with this stuff. I don't want to make any purchases here, uh, or investments. Mage girls at level five already. We have all of the stuff we need. We can upgrade the estate when we're ready. There's no point when we've only got nine dudes. Interested to see is there any other red hero in the neighborhood. Sephanor does have some more troops in the in Alexandrietta to fall back on if red does come back. Okay. Whoa. Oh, well, this isn't the kind of fight I on the ch I'm terrified, but at the same time, it's not the kind of fight on the channel that I will tend to auto resolve. So, [music] yikes. I do have the first turn though, Chana. And unless you have No. Okay, I'm not scared after all. But I mean, that was a bit of a gamble, right? I mean, she could have been arbitrarily powerful. Who knows how how powerful she might have been. I guess I was backing this idea that 202 spell points and enough HP to cast plenty of chain lightnings, you know, is what I would have needed um to get the job done. So, I think will I just go for h I can kill these on my turn. No, this thing hasn't had a turn yet. Okay, right. Let's see how far they can move. They could get to my beholders. I'm thinking chain lightning. Oh, terrible morale because of the skeletons. If I had the skeletons, arc to here. No, why don't I just go for the griffins and just accept whatever the outcome of all that is. It's amazing that chain lightning I have no skill in air magic and yet chain lightning is still significantly stronger than meteor shower. 450 for 12 or I can do 585. So, is 450 enough? And the answer is not really actually. Certainly not. I think I do just crack the griffins here. Okay. And it just completely takes the heat out of the situation. These things can only barely make it to the beholders. So rather than fly out, I could just block be a jerk. Wait here. Okay, no problem. That's your best. It is expert though. Expert. Um, yeah. No, just don't just don't die. Your your job is to not die. Okay, not too bad in the end. Oh, don't land on the moat. Come on, AI. Really? You You've got flying. Why would you land on the moat? I don't think I've ever even seen I've seen it do some dumb things, but come on. 160. Oh, that's why the auto resolve said we lose some. Yikes. How can I end this quickly before Chana can do any more damage? Right. So, if I clone If I clone now, allow me to do this one. The clone of course is not slowed. You never know. They might they might be up for it. Uh, wait here. Um, I could soak here. H. No, I don't know. Come here. You're not much use. Just the ballista. Oh, fiddlesticks. All right, speed five. Speed five is faster than the skellies. Oh, hang on. Maybe I can. Okay, so they're dead now. Do I get the first turn and can I prevent you casting? I do. And the dreads go second. So I can kill 52 here. Start off with Well, probably only need a magic arrow. 170. Wow, cool. That's excellent. Uh, I deal 315 damage. Um, how much do I need to actually I'll just do this maths here quickly. So 480US 315 is 175. Not taking that risk. Let's do an icebolt for fun. Great. We managed to save an angel there. That's excellent. Yeah, way better than the auto resolve. I'm happy with that. Sephanroth, good job. The golden bow. Well, I still say chain lightning is worth chasing air magic for. We will learn fire elemental eventually. Give up and go for fire. You can actually go in here. Yeah, that's pretty lackluster, isn't it? I don't have Berserk. See, it's the main payoff. I don't have Berserk. I I I've never seen Berserk, so I'm just going to go take the scouting. Plus, it gives me an immediate payoff. Wow, red are mad. They are furious. Okay, can't [music] stop pink. Oh no, they don't take the box. Why does the AI do that? They unlock a box and then don't take it. Who you saving that for? It's not like it's a true Pandora's box in the sense that it's got bad things in it sometimes. See how he walked through that though? That was lots of scorps. He just walked through it. I think feel like he did lose some soldiers there though. He didn't lose his giants or naggers, but I feel like he lost some of the other stuff. No way we [music] can interfere with this. It's just I have nothing in the area that can stop it or interact with it really. Okay. Wow. Uh what a hold against China. Well done. But just goes to show it's worth it to be paranoid [music] um you know about how how well defended you actually are. Uh what's happening over with Xi? We have other No, it's not G. Who's this fellow here? Dema. There's that. We can see his army. It's not good. It's not very good. I almost feel like with Dimma, he's not holding anything that matters too much. 11 harpies aren't a big deal. So, we could run this way. Um, it's probably better to just be as annoying as possible. Quick look here. Oh, that's here. Okay, that connects here. So, eventually red could get to us through the pack of great shamans and then down through this way. Interesting. Great scout for us. That's amazing. I could run off this way actually. But I kind of want to be a jerk and uh tell me more about their homeland. Oh, I suppose they'll have the cover of darkness. Okay. So, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is that is this dirt here? Will it tell me? This counts as dirt, right? This could be an Acropolis here. And rather than sailing to them, which I don't think Jedi can do. Uh, no, we can't summon boat. Sephro is a a long way from Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, we want Jedi to do the job, but once probably not yet. So, I'm going to do that. Yeah, we're definitely definitely in the right place. What second level spell could we roll? How much do I have left? Quite a lot. Let's have a look. Interesting. Just be an absolute pain. I bet there's a shipyard that way. No point flagging. Well, that would be a real nuisance if we threw Demer away. Then on his turn, he has to come all the way back and recapture. Pointless. Tell you what. No, he can definitely [music] come back. I was going to say if he couldn't make it back, we could stay there. um buy all the creatures on day one. [laughter] Uh pure evil got to be done though. Um yeah, interesting. Oh, I can't get there. Okay, you are definitely going to die. Okay, take a visual memory of this. It's 1,570. Let's call it 1,700 movement points from the portal to the gate. Take a visual map of this. We're never going to see it again till we come back to conquer it. Um, nothing else of importance along the way really. Um, okay. Now, who are you? Sauron, right? Uh, could I beat her just as is? I think I maybe could. Need a few more spell [music] points. Biggest mistake you can make is getting a boat in order to hunt them down because they can just jump off. So, let's use Malekith to um determine that's worth her going to. Bless isn't in here, is it? Usually it is. No. Okay. Yep. She doesn't know it. And she's an expert water mage. Probably going for undead, though, so that may or may not be pointless. Oh, wow. Okay. Oh, no. Not one bone dragon. Well, h one bone dragon and 150. So, I can kill about 30 of them with magic arrows and stuff. It's actually not undoable. Okay, simple question. [music] Could we just go get it? Yeah, you know, like I don't really want to risk it. Stop. clicked without Well, with that said, now that I'm here. Okay, that just that's [music] quite nice actually. God, her scouting is so much so powerful. Okay, we're safe on [music] that side. I think that means she could get Hey, you know what she could do? She could get in a boat here, sail over and hope that she could land here, and then she would be up against this. And I'm sorry, but it would be castle troops. Like, she's not going back. She's not going here, right? And then all the way over to here. And we aren't daisy chaining. She's way out of position. >> [snorts] >> Okay, Jaggar is available. He has 10 harpies and tons of spell points. He can actually do this fight. Let's just do this initially. He should be all right. Right. Kill six at a time. Do I have time? Just blast them. Don't feel bad. Okay. Um, well, I'll be here for this. How about that? Try and make some savings. Two magic arrows cost less than a lightning bolt. May as well save some mana cuz we made him to may need him to um fight again. He does have good mysticism. Will you leave that alone? Pesky little guy, isn't he? I wish I'd never embarked on this foolish crusade. Uh, no. Come back. Where are you? [clears throat] It's day seven. I can be here ready to gallop forth with Necro soldiers for Sevenroth. And Xi, you can be ready to um help a bit. Although I mean she's way out of position. I can't do much with this army. How safe is the necropolis? Yeah, Picadram could sail down here. I had to stop actually to have lunch there. And since I've come back, I think I've realized that she doesn't need to rush over to conquer this. in principle Jedi um can be available. Where are you, man? Yeah. To come back here if we think Red's coming our way. He could defend. He could get ready to push over. Jump in a boat himself and come over. It's not really a huge like I don't have to do it. And there are opportunities not far from her that she never did. Like okay, a horde of gremlins. That's a bit of a shame that that's such a [music] weak fight. But she can do all this. She can get this box. blah blah blah and just be in the area. She's still within Kuey then of the necropolis which is effectively here on the pink portal as you can see. So I recommend that you do this and wait for me right there. That's perfect. Um we could talk about Crest of Valor actually as well. Do you have time to do that? Might change my mind tomorrow. Let's just see. It'll mean I will have wasted moves, but that's okay. I'd like to get the crystal online from Luna. It's just lots of skellies. This is an absolute gift. No, they're not Luna. You Luna tick. Um, right. I'll say that once. It's one time only. It's a one time thing, I swear. Come nice and central for them. Make sure they want to walk through the firewall. Walk to their deaths. Kind of kind of undeaths. 110. Is that enough? Yeah. Don't really want to waste the spells here. Should be all right. Boom. Love this. Luna is still trying to become a scholar. Uh, okay. Come get this stuff. We'll do this tomorrow. This is useful. Okay. And there's a pocket of termination up here, but that's absolutely fine. Uh, nice little side mission for her. Yeah, we're going to decide what's happening at the necropolis now in a sec. I mean, well, Xi Xi can't do anything other than come back. There's no point sticking around. If Sauron comes and flags these things, we don't care. We'll just come back. Um, there is this for tomorrow. [music] Yeah, it's easy. Jagga may as well centralize. I've already been there actually. Land mine. Yeah. Where is he? [music] He's down here. I don't know. Does that mean there's a better pink hero coming through to sweep up these Pandora's boxes? That's pretty terrifying. He can just be here for day one and then we'll decide tomorrow. Don't need to prep anything. I mean, we could We could get one of the upgrades ready. Yeah, I'm really struggling to figure out [sighs] what my actual strategy is for the next few days because I have no armies. I have no armies. I've got good DNA and I've got all the spell points in the world, but I've got no actual soldiers. And to beat Thanon to actually do this campaign, you need I need something. Three angels and four dread knights just isn't enough to get anything done. So, let's do Jedi next. Um, see if we can figure out what we want to do with him. We know he has to come to at least here. That's one decision. I feel like if he was to come down now with the five angels and um I don't have expert earth yet we've got we we can't [music] we can't just keep chaining like Sephanroth. Okay, she took the necropolis quickly within [music] a week. She took the castle. That's great. But now we have to consolidate. We aren't pushing into red. We aren't going to try and harass pink. We're just coming here. Uh we're going to just determine tomorrow. Just check what that is. Yeah. Um you know, all of the rest of the movements. I think that means let's get the crest of val. Let's just take some time. Get the vett yetis. You never know. There's might be resurrection here. And the necropolis. Okay. Going for ghost dragons. Just I mean I don't think that's it. So if we think it's going to be a thing, then let's do it. Let's just actually do it. Let's do this now. and not look back in anger. We're really seriously doing this, man. I'm all in on this. In fact, well, kind of all inish. Done it. Now, we've gone and done it. Now, if a red hero comes galloping up through here, I'll be really sad. Um, but how aggressively do I want to trade to stop someone else getting him? I'll I'll hedge. I'll hedge. This isn't very good. Hang on. How much do I need? No, I need another 1400. Right. Let's just have him. So, he's there. We get another two tomorrow by my account. Yes. Okay. I don't know. I have no idea if if that's good, if that's bad. Um, but at least it's something like it's a long-term strategy. Yeah, you're going to gallop all the way back up to get rid of me. It's fantastic. Don't abandon my cause, man. Whoa. What was that? Anti-agic. Oh, no. So, I can't lightning bolt them. You clever sod. Um, now giving the I might get two turns here actually. So, he's not a very good hero, is he? Kill as many of them as you possibly can before we flee. Everybody waits. Oh, whatever. Probably should have seen that. Uh, I hope we haven't messed this up. Don't bother. Well, he might abandon my cause here. Like, there's no morale, but then these things are going to heal. Okay, I'm in big trouble. I lose. One, two, three. No. Kill another three. Take my 85 gold. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's your It's your necro. I was just visiting. You know, massively wasted time there. That's fantastic. It's effectively two days of of momentum. Pikatran is getting stronger. [clears throat] And he's here. Oh, actually. Hey. Wow. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, that's there. Jedi. Jedi. If you get to [music] the portal, the green portal, you will emerge here. I want you to gallop across and brawl with Picadram. Now I have a reason to live. Okay, cool. Let's do this next. So, one thing we could do is hire um Dude Meister from here, the defeated hero. He could come out of here, buy the angels. So, it' have six angels, fly over to here, just get this job done. I I'm okay with this. Yeah, I'm okay with sticking around and doing this with her because of the possibility that that's resurrection as well. Yeah, let's do that. Um, it seems a bit weak, but I think it's all right. Offload the stuff you're never going to use in a million years. I might use [music] weakness one day. What's that do? I'm just not going to bother. Oh, go on. I'll keep it. Um, the fang arm things maybe while wearing the cape. Okay. Yeah. So, take the slow nonsense off me. Give me the bone dragon. I will go and clear [music] the way with this army. I will learn summon boat on my way. No, I'm the one who's actually fetching this stuff. Yeah. Yeah, this is fine. Take this 93. But uh whatever. I mean, I'm just going to take it. Let's do the Yeti. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, they get smoked as well. Um, I'm just going to take this. I I think it's okay, right? Is that too jammy? I'm just going to take it. Resurrection would be so handy. It's water walk. Sad times. I won't waste moves on those resources. I do need to stand here. Okay, fine. Okay, who's next? Luna. Yeah, Luna's pretty easy to determine what to do. Do this fight. Okay. get central. Um, yep. And then we'll fight this guy. Okay, let me get through that quickly, please. We are in a bit of a hurry. No reason not to. Um, yep. 68 spell points. Just trying to pancake up here. want to try to get the um we definitely want to get try to get the experience. Sorry, scholar. We want we still want that scholar thing. It's still an ambition of ours. Okay. How cool is the sound it makes, man? My turn. Yes. Okay. One step closer. Okay. She needs to get to expert. We need that to get to expert and then she can gallop from person to person uh spreading the good news of resurrection and meteor shower to a lesser extent from the guy who got beaten. We still have to decide where he's going to emerge from. But yeah, so this is I'm right now, right? I mean, we want Jedi to fight Picadram. Someone else can do that. I'm too I'm too important. Yep. Come back. Cancel the above. Now, the 87 guys can stay. Okay. [music] Cuz they're not the slowest thing. All right. Okay. Okay. So, what that means [music] I want to do is Dimma comes out of here, gets these initial things worked out um through the portal. Oh, now I'm having second thoughts cuz I could have maybe used Yeah. The necropolis is the same distance from Picadram as the dungeon is. I'd missed that nuance and it is in less danger from Fant. Man, I'll be ready. I'll be ready. Don't worry. I'll be ready. Right. do things that we know are no-brainers. Here, we've been thinking about [music] this. Get it. Now, at the necro, we don't have anything. No. Okay. Uh, at the dungeon, we do have something to do. Get him back. Grab a few more of these girls. One thing you could do is race down here and hurry up and do this so that it's ready for us cuz he wants to come down mana mana vortex and keep keep going. He doesn't want to stop. I mean, he could probably stop. He could probably get the wood. We'll let We'll let him do that. Back after a [music] short distraction there. Doing this. Completing the journey. Okay. You're You know what you're doing, do you? Why are you here? No. Well, why don't you What are you doing? She you're you're being her helper. Just pop in here, man. I don't know exactly what you're doing. Okay. I missed that the stables there so that she didn't hit. That was a mistake. Okay. Good to know that we're making mistakes as we go. That's wonderful. Do this. Oh, right. Yeah. Okay. I could grab a griffin or two. Uh be mobile. I could buy the angels now. No, I couldn't. I mean, I'm not really worried about red now coming up. I need to buy Jedi soldiers. Ideally want to do that tomorrow. I don't really want them to lose momentum. Oo, okay. That means there's no stuff here. We aren't spending any money here. Can't get to that. It's annoying. I could get this, this, this, and these. It's probably worthwhile. I have a hero here. Come here. Replenish. Jaggar. come and meet her, but give her no new stuff. The reason I want to meet her is to take the basic skeletons back. There's 11 of them. Does she want the harpy hags? Go on, you can have the harpy hags. Might be useful against the orcs. Um, okay. That's all right. That's fine. Yeah. Okay. So, she has a bit of a story. He is defending against Sauron and anyone else that comes. The other thing he can do, actually, I shouldn't have g back because what he could do is be ready to receive the crest. So, I regret that now. Yeah, I think I would rather he does that. Mhm. It's okay. I mean, it's a bit of a waste. Bit indecisive. Build nothing. I've rehired my guy. He's safe. Okay. Right. Ah, you're coming my way. Who is that purple guy? I can't do everything. He is coming my way. No, it's just an explorer. Okay. Where's purple? Halon not a threat. Okay. Yeah. Cool. All right. Let's start with Sephenroth. She's going to learn air magic from this scholar. Nope. She's going to get the crest of valor. She's learned water. I don't think she's going to go get bless. If I'm mainly angel based, the bless isn't that good anyway, right? I can always use a slot to deal with it. Yeah. I mean, it's wasting like 1,200 moves. It's wasting most of a day. Not worth it. Okay. The stuff she does want again, she doesn't need these troops today though, right? Because she can do the small beer stuff without resources. So, my man, if you're speaking to her, hang on. Wasted a movement point of his there. But I think it's okay. Buy three royal griffins for me today. Take this angel. Do you even need that other stuff? Well, no. But I don't want it. I don't want any undead stuff here. There's no need for it, right? Yeah. No, that's fine. She never did this. Yeah, he's going to come down through here. Do the stuff she never did. Now, he wants the helm. Well, I hope that's not a hero. [laughter] I saw a red flag and I was like, could be a red flag on my campaign. Okay, Griffin Tower back home. There is some vulnerability here, right? I mean, I have unpurchased angels, which is a bit of an issue. The reason why I don't want to spend money is I want to invest in Jedi and I want Jedi [music] to kill Picadram. I think that's more important to me. 14 Trogs. No time. Okay. Okay, how much movement do I waste? I waste that much movement by waiting a day. So, it's actually going to be close, right? Cuz I have nowhere near enough money for all this stuff, to do everything that I want to do, which includes buying these ones as well. So, let's prioritize this guy. Get these boys. I'll do the I'll do the running, man. You convert yourself to a speed demon. Pop into the vortex. Yes. What' that put you up to? 300 spell points. >> [sighs] >> Do you have a uh ballista? No. First aid. Where's the blacksmith? I can't I don't know. It's here. Oh, ballista. It's a thing to have. I'm just going to buy it. Yeah, why not? Now, you know, fire elemental, so that's going to be huge against spell power times three. So, 36 fire elementals. That's good. Brawling for Picadram. He's not going to like that. Um, we are going to be upgrading the labyrinth. Let's just make sure we do that now. And then all of our earnings tomorrow will go to that. Is it worth it to do this first? It's quite a lot of movement. I'll end up back. But I think I do do it. Oh, that's annoying. Uh, that's okay, though. All right. You're here. You're here. I will be ready. do it already. Uh, keep me quick, please. Yeah, harpies. Got to remember to do that. It's such an important bonus. Geon was going to get ready to collect the crest. Does she have the crest? Yep. Can Gillon collect it from you, please? Uh, yes. That mistake of sending him back to the town was Oh, no. Hang on. She's exhausted. It's all right. It's all right. It's not too bad. Uh, Luna, do this. And yeah, let's see if we can kill these things. What is it? Throng. Throng's quite a lot, isn't it? Maybe she knows visions. She does not. Will I just try it? Crew mates aren't as they're the unupgraded one. I can't do the hive. They act first and kill all my stuff. And the prize is just some gems. On the other hand, I'm trying to get to expert scholar and it fits the story. Uh, ouch. 212. Oh god. Um, I may have messed up here. Let's see if we get away with it. >> Thing is, there's a lot of them. Feel like if each of them goes through at least one firewall, that's a reasonable start. There's a lot of them. They're getting each other's way. So, oh no. [laughter] Ah. Okay. Uh here. Go for here. If they freeze again next turn, they're definitely dead. Okay. Well, I was worried. If I was worried before, I'm not now. Uhhuh. I bought your blood. Um, well done, Luna. Thank you. Can't be bothered. That's too far. plus 300 movement points at the end of the week, but it's going to cost me 600 to get, 1,200 to get, so it will pay for itself on the last day. Eh, now I was going to be strong enough to do this. I decided I know some spells surely can muck you around. Yeah, blind maybe. Let's try it. Uh, my ice bolt does 70. It's nowhere near enough. strike and stay here. Need to be a bit careful actually. Can't use the liches. Other thing I could do is haste my skellies. That would probably do the job. You can strike and return. You can just smack them. Oh, great. Oh no. I hate that interaction, man. I hate it. Spent 25 years hating that interaction. But what? I had it all set up just how I wanted moaning and complaining. I don't have a better I mean what am I going to do? I'm going to wait and then you have a turn before cuz you you act next. Now what am I down to? 42 God salty. Oh yeah, ballista. Oh, [laughter] 31. [gasps] Oh, that's not how that was meant to go. [snorts] Right. Um, still save your money, right? I need it for tomorrow. cannot be too careful with this stuff. I've played a bit sloppy the last few turns. I need to get Whoa. Than's going on a growth and um [music] well-being kind of adventure. Suits us actually. Oh, mate, you are. Unless I was going to say unless you got town portal which I know you don't I am going to kill Pikram man going to absolutely murder him. Greetings sevenroth. I come for the crest of valor. Take it. I have no use for it. Uh anything else you want to give me? What's this do? One extra spell point per day. I'm a master of mysticism. I need no such thing. I think you'll find I am the better mystic than ye. Maybe you're right. Uh weakness. I've got all these things I'm going to keep. Bless. I'm more important than you. That's basically what it comes down to. That's all I came for. That's fine. What was this one? Earth magic. Okay. Uh, this is annoying. Yes. And it's a free one. Sure. Get the boots. I think over the course of the campaign they will pay me back. Yeah, it's 400. This spell might matter. Yes, for free. Worth a look. Can't walk through here. That's displeases me. Luna can't fight the dragonflies. I think we've agreed everything dies at the very beginning of the fight. Of course, she's done these things. She hasn't done that. So, let's do that. G. Well, I could check what's here. I don't want Picadram to get whatever's there. Okay. I definitely don't want him to get that. Um, in fact, could he get to me? Need to be a bit careful with her. Jedi comes through the portal, comes thundering west. >> [laughter] [snorts] >> Pick a drum. I am calling you out. Face me. But not right now because someone's at the door. Trying to make content here. People don't make it easy. Um, right. What we going to do, Kings? Do it. Yeah. Sorry, I keep getting interrupted here. Uh, let me just see before I spend any more money, can I get any more money from anyone else? Um, Malekith maybe. Okay, I don't think this is money very [music] often, but let's do it. This may be guarded. I can't remember. Yeah, it's all scouts, so we just want to do it. Brilliant. Okay, that's it. That's all the money we're getting. Does Jedi need a full payment of stuff today? He kind of does. Yeah. Yeah. It's now or never. And I'm going to get it. I'm going to go get it. I got good crystal now. Good good resources for crystal. I don't have a gem. I do have a sulfur. That should be enough to do some decent business. Yeah. And how many harpies does Jedi need? Harpies are the flex. Yeah. Leave these soldiers here. Yes. Leave the goblins [music] here. Actually, they'll be good defenders. So, I was thinking for these fellows, they could maybe do this job while we're away. 29 Minotaur Kings. Okay. Okay, now Picadram is going to struggle here, right? Surely he's going to struggle. He's got giants. He's got nuggets. He's a long way from home. He should be pretty tired. Yep. Been here, done this. Got got the t-shirt. Let's go and kill him. Tempted. >> [snorts] >> Thing is though, I don't I almost want him to come around here and stumble into me. He hasn't seen this yet. His scouting radius is like there. Oh, hey, there's this, by the way. Oh. Get it out to about here. I might do this. Actually, it might help with the experience. And I've got a decent chance of hitting expert earth. Yeah, I think this is a thing. Okay, on turn one, I don't have slow. No, yeah, it's just advanced. But I can blind and I can summon fire elemental as well. Okay, so the stack that goes in the middle, it can be the Medusas and then stack three can be the evil eye. No, [music] stack one. Actually, the angel will fly over and murder the top left stack of naggers. 2, three, four, five. I'm at five. I'm at six. I'm at seven. Yeah, let's do that. I think we can. I think we can do that. Yeah. Attack the guards. Okay, now I am fast. I'm fast. Fast fast. fast. I can do a fire elemental. I could go for damage. He's not the best damage dealer to be fair. Old Jedi. Uh, so I think it's either blind or 36 fire elementals. Everything in my army acts before them. That's amazing. Fantastic. So if I come up here, fence them in, shoot them with the evil eyes, then my whole army gets to evacuate. In fact, the kings can come can walk over there and just do that job. I will absolutely survive the crackback. Thank you for asking. Good question. So, do I even need to spend any spell points here? Not yet. I don't. I mean, I can do it closer to the time. Um. Oh, wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. The kings are going to walk to here and murder this stack. So, will I just go down here and get stuck in here? Yeah. Uh, I will strike and stay up here. Will I get in the way though? Nah. One, two, three, four, five. I'll strike and stay up here. Oh, well, I might. Hang on. The minotaurs want to hit them here. I want to go and smack them here. Yeah. So, just come here. This is a kill anyway. Is this a kill? Yeah, almost certainly. Yes. So, why don't we blind this instead and just kill just get this over with? It's probably a kill. Sometimes one lives. All right. And if I go to melee mode here. Why does everyone have such great morale? Oh, it's just plus one. Okay, I'm just getting lucky. Do I want to do this and take the risk of a morale hit or or what? I suppose if they get a morale, they'll come up here and probably kill one. I've gotten good morale, so there's every chance you guys might get it. No kills four. Uh, this is a kill. No. Well, logistics. Hm. I wanted an expert earth, but I didn't get it. Uh, I still have to get past all the armor as well. So, let's fill up this instead. Logistics is nice, actually, but I'll take this. Worth it. Very worth it. So worth it that I could bring you more. No, I don't really have a lot more to bring you. It's weird. I've landed here with Yeah. kind of I do need to be ready to bring the army back and defend. Uh but me me being near you, is that useful? I want to stay close to you. You mean a lot to me, Jedi. I worry for you. I worry that you're not taking care of yourself. Um, just stay back a little bit. Stay back. Uh, there are some defenders here, but it's not in any danger. I'm here. One thing you could do is buy me. Where's my runner? Okay. Mhm. [snorts] Seph is ready for more angels. So, he needs to come back and do that. Will we just buy them now? Yes. That's one thing you can do [music] to just head just if you just buy them. If an enemy comes and takes the town, it's like, well, at least you've denied them those those troops. [sighs] Everyone's tired. No more investments. Just playing games. Th doing his thing. It's nice that we know where he is. It's very, very nice. Sauron's got no ideas. Wow. Okay. Oh, you're mine. You are mine. Can I get him? With that said, if I beline towards him, that's fine. Just beline it. break cover. He comes sprinting back, but what's the best he can do? The best he can do is run back up through here and I just I just carry on and I take this town. Day four, day five, day six. I take take it before the end of the week. That's it. Last skill is not going to be any of these. Although mysticism [music] is tempting, he's already a scholar. Yeah, I just go for it now, right? I just put the pedal down. I'm actually not going to take Okay, I've decided I'm not going to do it because I have stables. He does not have stables. So, there's a chance I can catch him. There's a chance. Let's get this artifact to the dude Meister. Going out of our way to do this. Will I just do it? Yeah, I'm the only one [music] in town. Luna, let's take the defense. Hoorde of them should be right. Okay, just wait on them here. [snorts] Okay, [laughter] thank you. I'll take this. Um, I didn't even look. Oh, man. Was that It didn't offer me scholar, did it? No, it was something else. I didn't even I auto autodecided that without even looking. Uh, I can't do the Cyclops, but whatever. Uh, right. She's free to do the things that are here for me. Get this. Get this. Check what that is. Why can't I get in there? Oh, it's all the way around through there. Oh, that's why we never did it. Okay. Well, Luna will do that on her way back. Wait, can't I just gallop up that way if I kill the goblins? That was what you were. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe that's all that's going on here. I'm just going to take this. That's fine. I'm not going to look too Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that's a bit better. What is it? Death Ripple. Okay, great. Now, remember, we aren't far from that. Santa's here and he's strong enough to kill these things. So maybe [snorts] it is a good idea for me to go here today. Learn a thing or two and just wait here on the off chance that shows himself. Now I do need to get back because Seph wants those angels. Okay. All right. And finally, last but not least, the woman of the moment. It's going to be all right. Okay. Yeah, it's just [music] going to be a cakewalk. Oh [laughter] no. [gasps] Oh no, it happened. We've We've lost air magic. We've lost it. Too many other people are scholars and the navigation actually might matter. So, I'll take the navigation. Oh, well, you can't always get what you want. Uh, as MC Jagger famously sang, I can do this, right? Yeah. I mean, it's not it's not comfortable. I have speed 11. I do have the speed advantage. No, I don't. Okay, so you're invulnerable this turn. Does that mean I can't uh target you? Yeah. Well, and I can't attack you either. Well, chain lightning will quite work work quite nicely here. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Yeah, so let's do it. Wait on. Got bad morale, right? Yeah. Uh, I don't want to risk that. We'll have to see if the two can kill a No. Cop that. [snorts] Uh, sucks to be you. Uh, yeah. Well, you can hit the angels if you want. The guy in the corner. I love how they die. These things when they die. It's like they're kind of unmade or something. It's sad in a way. 400 damage coming your way. Well, okay. But then that'll be enough to finish you. Oh. Brilliant. That's fun. Go that morale thing. Hey, this thing's amazing. Pendant of downfall. Pendant of downfall. Construction purchases unnecessary. You say I say that they probably are unnecessary. Yes. It's not like I'm going to want to desperately buy up the um yeah, let's save up and we can talk Archangels, right? That was kind of my plan is where I'm heading with this is actually archangels on Seph and that's the endame config and the turn. We could hire another hero. Um, but I'm close enough to home with everything. Yeah, he's coming back up to do that job. I don't think I need another hero. No, no, I'm cool. I'm cool. No, thank you. Okay, is coming our way. H. All right. Well, firstly, do I even have the option? [music] I don't. Is it better to kill Fant? No, it's Tamika. Okay. I actually thought this had was that the whole time. She might not even want to do that fight. And even if she does, she comes through. I could be ready for her with the necro. [sighs] So I think we push on with Jedi when he runs upstairs and runs behind the walls. Can I beat him at full HP? At full spell power? Yeah, I can. I can definitely [music] win that fight. He has a week's worth of Rampart, but nothing in his current army is rampart. Day five. Day six. You can actually make the case even if Picadram lives. There's no time for this. Yes, there is. Yes, there is. take the power. Even if he lives, I can take the town and he can just be in the countryside waiting for me to, you know, I don't know what's he going to do. [snorts] And I am catching I am gaining on him. I'm I'm pretty sure I gained on him that turn as well, even with going here. Ice Bolt. Luna is a good hero. Luna could beat Tama. Yes, she could. New hero comes out of here. Comes through here. No. New hero comes out of here. Hits the underground. I'm kind of in the wrong wrong place. Who's this Dimma? Who's the hero that I would want to do this job? I kind of really want to get this done and I'm out of position anyway. So, let's just make that decision. Oh, yeah. I'll take them. [snorts] all that effort. That's a week of his life for 25 monks. It's pretty much from there to there, right? You're not going to get much further tomorrow. So, I will wait here for an army that may never arrive, that I may never need. Uh if Dika comes through and happens to ride south. The only problem with that is she could kill me. Not really. Not really. Who says she's a hero of might, by the way? Even my standing army is not terrible against her. I don't need to decide today because she's tired anyway. Jedi knows what he's doing. Yep. Cool. All right. Seph opens the box. Fine. Uh, I'll open this one as well. Take it. Fine. Whatever. Okay. [sighs] Now, one thing she could do is actually summon boat off that. Um, but it might be good to get the archangels [music] first. It's too risky. All right. Who's here? >> [laughter] >> Okay. Well, as Luna prognosticated, Alamar joins the crew. Welcome, Alamar. You're joining far too late to eclipse anybody or um grab the spotlight. So, don't get any ideas now. Uh, he walks to here. Alamar. Oh, what happens now if I go like that with Alamar? Nothing. You need to be here. He begins scholarizing immediately. learns bless blood lust and summon vote from male kith. How does male? Wait a second. How do you know bless? How do he You just learned bless from him. But how do you know? Was bless your starting spell? Cuz she doesn't know it. Like if I take this off, she doesn't know it. And yet you learned it from him. Oh well mate, in that case um no let's use your moves to collect the troops. Come with me. Yeah, come with me, men. We will both go and visit her together. Greetings, Sevenroth. I bring you two more angels and some more Speed N stuff. Thank you, Malchus. I am worried that this isn't enough meat for my quest. Indeed, I do have some other good news. We have a new recruit. Oh, indeed. Allow me to introduce, drum roll. Who is it? I can't quite see you. Come closer. I'm too tired. I'll meet you tomorrow. Very well, whoever you are. Uh, come to I guess here. I can go a little bit further along maybe. Summon the boat 424 and then that many will remain. I could unlock this for them. Alamar could learn that and teach it to me. 424 814 will remain. Right. So I'm okay to do this. And then she gets in the boat. Okay, that navigation actually of all things that if I can't have air magic, navigation's actually not bad. If we're planning to try to use the waterways, could be worse. And it's nice to actually have been incentivized to take it. That's kind of a win. Now I will die to Tama [music] and she has she's cut us off. That said, maybe I should let her die to [music] Tamika. The consequences are fine. I'll just rehire. This is one good thing if you've got heroes that are very light on troops like like what Sephanroth's doing. She can lose as long as she doesn't die. she can lose and as long as the opponent doesn't have the shackles. Um, there is also losing on purpose in order to town portal, which I'm not a fan of. I don't like doing. Well, I just take this gamble that Tika doesn't want to fight the shamans. And if she does, and she wants to fight me, I'll throw I'll throw all kinds of stuff at her. and then flee. Fine. Okay, Jedi's all the way up there now. He's gone. He's a He's a speck. So, the dungeon is now vulnerable. But Red really is not offering [music] anything at all by way of threat. So, just go home, man. >> [groaning] >> Start investing in this guy a little bit. Yeah, you are the caretaker. Okay, no more purchases. I don't think we could just maybe do that. Just hedge a little bit. Have a little bit more meat. Do some of these really high value things. We're okay here. Okay. Can she? She just can't can't do it. She can. Wow. Okay. I want to see. I missed that. Purple's here. You done with the box? No. Halon. Damn you. Halon. I don't even think I need to hedge that hard here. Yeah, I mean, I'll just buy this stuff. That was a bit of a bad miss. Although, if you'd been closer, I would have seen him. That happened in the Fortress campaign, too. I noticed when I was posting the last of those videos, I was like, "Oh, man. Someone had landed on my home zone, and I just hadn't dealt with it." [laughter] Uh, anyway, we know we want to do this. Yes, please. Stay six. Um, it's not very interesting to just go there. Could do this. could do this. Day six. Day seven. Day seven. You could be ready here at the trading post. It's quite nice. [music] Let's do that. I got this run. Yeah. No, I didn't. Okay. Somehow I missed that. Worth checking people. Worth checking. Before Seph sails off, Alamar meets with her on the coastline. Alamar who has studied magic extensively learns blind death ripple disguise firewall fortune protection from air quick sand haste view air and view worth [gasps] from sephenroth and teaches bless and bloodlust [sighs] well well Sephenroth I see that you have finally ready to seize the throne of Arathia indeed I am Alamar I've done it all without you I've done it without Jedi I've done it with mere assistance of Malikus and a couple of others. It was mostly me me. Pride cometh before a fall. Sephro, heed my words. No. And with that, uh, heroes part ways. Whoa. Okay, now she can take bless off. That's better. She probably should have given it to Alamar actually, but um whatever. Maybe these as well. Um I'll almost certainly forget when I land to put them back on, so I'll just leave them on. Okay, it's not too late, by the way. Do you want Alamar to get to grab them? What do we want? I certainly don't need the bless scroll. Do I need weakness? Yeah, she doesn't know weakness. Uh, does she know fireball? She does. Never casting that in a million years. Pendant of free will is probably more of a quest item. I may as well take it. Okay, just to free up your uh baggage there. Why don't I take these things? Okay. All right. Good luck. The other thing is this cool mystic orb of mana that she doesn't need. No, no, hang on. But I could learn this. Well, it's too late. Wait, could I go? Could I run through here and learn this? Desperately teach it to Alamar. [laughter] Does she have frost ring? I should have thought about that a bit more. I was too interested in the story. Uh, it doesn't matter. Mystic orb of mana by dancing the Ramabuta. And that's actually really nice for someone as lowly as Malikth. This has all been done by her majesty. Come back, fellas. All right, Seph. I don't know if this is enough. Should I have waited for day one and archangels? Like, I could build the Dark Angels today. I still won't have enough money for all of it, though. They're very expensive. I could always pop back to here actually and Ren Desvouse. Oh, look at her out on the water. Is there anything she can't do? Toroser. One thing you can do is kill Taurus. He's he at one time he was their best hero. By the way, is it worth going out? I've got tons of moves. Kill him quickly. [laughter] Yes. Shipto ship battle. He's joined. H for anyone who's been following the channel, uh I've been desperately trying to get uh a naval combat to happen. And uh I think it feels like I finally done it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 Okay, why don't I go crack? No, it'll go there. And then I'll just Oh, I can't kill the cobalt then. Okay, right. Well, what if I kill the Got do this first? Will it work then? No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Is that right? The angels are eight squares away. 1 2 3 4 5 6. So, if I hit the ballista with the chain lightning, game over and we get to kill Toazar. Hope I haven't got that wrong. Crack. Crack. It cannot jump to me. 6 7 8. It has to go here and then here. Oh, it didn't work. We're just going to flee. That's annoying. Magic arrow is the best he could come up with though. So, Jedi is coming here. So, I don't know that. Um Oh, he's not an expert scholar yet. I was going to say there's a chance for them to meet each other, but he's got a good chance of becoming an expert, I [music] suppose. When he comes up here and just takes the Pandora's box, like what? Why? Of course I do. Of course, I'll take 40 elves. Especially when I'm about to conquer a rampart. Cheers. Taurus. Who is Picadram? Do you not think they would have been useful? I don't get why the AI does that. I would love them to patch that. might need to go on the list of possible self nerfs for the next run. I've been thinking about a list of different nerfs that I could um apply to me as the player that don't apply to the AI. Um which I might talk about another day. [snorts] But Picadram runs up here. Maybe he hides. Maybe he runs. Whatever. Don't really care. I think I want to head south. I could talk to you here or maybe up here one day. I'm not missing the resurrection to be honest. It's not really my thing. I'm more of a damage dealer. Nothing's dying. Right. Tama is stronger than we thought. How are you not Okay, you killed the shamans and you took practically no losses. So, Luna is in big trouble. She can try to escape. Is she the better hero? Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She is. So, if Luna stands here in readiness for Tamika, we've bought ourselves a bit of time. I've got 25 useless monks. This guy's out of the game. Although, I could give them to Luna if I've got a hero that's galloping through here. Oh, no. I don't. But everyone's too tired. And I can't get I can't get I can I can get behind the walls. Okay. Oh god. Can I No, she hasn't got enough moves. She's got slow skeletons. And I got to deal with this idiot. A If she kills me, I will respawn. So, let's just get in position and gamble on her. And by the way, I'm doing these things, too. If you kill me, I'm just going to respawn, man. So, I'm not worried. Luna is the teacher. Luna, no more vampires. I'll take those. take these harpies instead. I'll take all this slow stuff. I'll also take the guys here. Let's buff you up. I'll take this. You probably don't need these. You don't need ice bolt. You don't need slow. Okay. I will return. You will live. You will live against the uh Well, how are we doing this? It's all a bit awkward, isn't it? If I go doof doof, I mean, that's not too bad. I could have met with you. Maybe. Gon goes, "Doom, doom." I should have met I should have met with her and taken the slow stuff off her. go up to here. There's also the risk of Halon, although not really. Okay. Uh, right. Well, we have maybe wraiths are a decent shout. going to do it. >> [snorts] >> Uh, yeah. Don't really need to buy those vampires yet. I can decide tomorrow. Day six. She's set off now. So, I'm not sure if Archangels is on or not. I'm going to save my money. Let's see what happens to Luna here. Looking forward to seeing this Tika girl. No. Okay. We had to prepare. [snorts] We had to be ready. Freeing that up for me. Are you? Thank you. [laughter] Day seven. I've got the town. I can also take out the man. Can't do both. I think I want to kill the man and then um on my day one attack the uh town. I might get that box actually. No, I won't cuz I'll still be standing here. I could bow guard it though. I [music] could stand here. That's pretty much his destiny, isn't it? This is out. This is out of the way now. Chased him all the way to here. We ready for this slight morale concern. Three alignments is it but angels. So it's neutral. Yeah, neutral morale. Yeah, let's do this. See what he's made of. I can't get the box, so you may as well do this. Yep. What if it messes me up, man? It won't mess you up. Have faith. Pikach, I'm not seeing it. What am I missing? What's so great about this guy? Could I cure the angels? No. Well, I can't. [snorts] Just in case you're wondering, fire elemental here. Yeah, I kind of want to see what he's made of. If I want to wait and then like if he blinds the angels or something, that's probably the best outcome. Yeah, I think we're waiting. Oh, expert earth. Okay. And that cost him two spell points. Two because of these. So that means expert slow is coming. Okay. So, I would need 225 [music] damage. I could just do that. Actually, do 585, but it's a waste. So, I don't like his spell points costing uh being a bargain. Fireball doesn't do enough damage even though I'm an expert fire mage. Lightning bolt with no skill does more damage. So, his spells cost more now. Uh, we're all waiting. Yeah. Issues. Well, at some point, one of us has to do something. Get these guys out of the way. Everything's long range. Um stack I'm the most concerned about doesn't a lot of damage. Is it probably the queens? Short range. Thank you kindly. Yeah, defense 11. It's a good kill. I think I'm happy to brawl here, provided that you don't die. Relocate. I don't care if the elves die too much. I probably should actually. So, do that. Blind the giant on my turn. I love it. Wow. So, he had he had a morale issue last time, did he? If I kill the Nagas and then on his turn he hastes the giant that will go to speed 10 and that would be bad. Let's wait here. Fantastic. I'll take that. Oh, please be my guest. How many did you kill, by the way? 13. It's not very good. Yeah. So, fire elemental is just very nice here. Now, it does get to act this turn, does it? Yeah. Okay. Oh, so kind of you, man. Strike and return. You haven't acted yet. Fine. We do need to kill this eventually. Oh, that was a mistake. I could have done it with the dudes. Um, kill that right die. Where? I hate genies. kill him. Um, well, maybe I'm still pretty healthy. How much damage are you going to deal back? Yeah, giants hurt like hell. Kill this. Three giants fighting back could hurt a lot. Um 26 plays 28. I've already lost a bit of HP. I definitely killed two. Stone skins been pretty good for them actually. And then the minotaurs kill this. I think I don't need any spells. I'll do a magic arrow. I don't think I need any more than that. Yeah, it's just I want to make sure that no angel dies. May as well. Helps the narrative. It's good for views. One to two. Oh, I just saw that one to two and I was like, what? So that way we guarantee that Padam dies and we also guarantee that no angel dies in the process. So he nicked that offer. So it's good to have got that back. Good, good, good. Yes, I'm going to teach that woman resurrection whether it kills me. Hillfort. No, just the grand elves tomorrow. It's starting to come together, isn't it? Right. Where's girly pants? And can you if you were to sail to here, I could ride out to you and teach you everything except fire elemental. And I can also swap artifacts if we want to. This is plus five. This is plus four. I don't even have a shield. So, there's a reason. Mercury rib cage. If we're thinking about the armor of the damned. Uh, no. No. The skull. Yeah. Somewhere else. So, I've got this piece of it and the rib cage. And then the skull is sitting on her head, Luna's head. And then we're missing the yawning shield.
