Heroes 3 Gameplay - The Re-death of Thant - Episode 06

Boom. Oh yes. [music] >> Okay, let's keep on going. Here we are in having so much fun. I cannot believe that Malakth is still alive, but he is. And for that reason, we will head I think we'll head up this road, even though it's probably just a shipyard. Uh, is that better than coming down through here? Probably only make it to about here. Maybe they don't care. Oh, there's a way off this rock. Ah, that's there. Okay, cool. Do we want to just do that? She won't be slowed down initially. She goes through the portal. Comes out here. Goes to here. Comes out here. Comes down here. She's got a chance of taking this town. As long as she's got a chance of doing it, we've got to try. She'll certainly take it on day one, but we miss out on the week's worth of inferno. Uh, the alternative, by the way, is that he could do it. No. No, we can't. Okay, I have to do it. Yeah, we cannot afford anything. Oh, man. I think we're trying this. Jedi comes back up the road to speak with her once more. Sevenroth, have you heard the news? We can have the inferno Jedi. Wow. Uh like [music] my mind is blown here. Um okay. Yes. Let's do this. We don't need to have any more of the previous conversations though, do we? You're going to be dungeon and rampart. I'm going to be kind of whatever. I have a morale offset here, which is kind of nice. Can leave these behind the walls of the inferno. Yeah, let's do this. Can she do it, folks? Town gate [music] to serenity. While here, we could mage good level five. I'm just not sure what I [music] want to catch. She can cast good earth elemental out of the book. It just feels wrong not to not to do it. One reason not to do it is dragon glyphs for only 10 grand. That's a good reason to not do it actually. Right. I miss out on a dragon. Yeah. Okay. I like that argument. I'm taking these soldiers with me. Is there anyone else you want to take? could take the Griffins. They're going to feel very out of place. Yeah, take the Griffins. I'm don't have a good solution for the undead. I think we have to leave them. And that music is the sound of farewell. I don't know if she's going to make this. But I can just come back. Yeah. Uhhuh. It's just outside the reach. But that said, do you want to do it? What if I lose an angel? Sure. If I get out of the way, you can't do it. Stop. [snorts] Oh, close call, man. Okay. Could I do it without resurrection with 11 angels? I don't know if I could. 30 spell points. Arrow towers hurt like hell. They will kill an angel. I miss out on a week week's worth of inferno. No, no, I don't. Hang on. I don't miss out on a week's worth. I don't miss out on a week's worth. It can be tomorrow. It can be. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is fine. Give me the slow stuff. Keep what you've got. Um, can I have these? I'll give them back to you. I swear. Will I? You sneaky devil. It might be worth him permanently keeping them. Let's find out, right? Take it. At least that's someone. That's one of us. [laughter] That's one of us who's learned how to do anything other than a vanilla lightning bolt. Uh yeah. Okay. What does that mean for us? I can't get it today, I don't think. That was more important than um the elves. Uh Jar is going to be slow because of the dwarves. There's no way I'm getting there, right? No. Could wait here. Okay, we do a bunch of education. Give me the lines. Oh, I miss I miss out on the dendroids as well. Okay, great. Wonderful. Uh, give me the unicorns. I'll upgrade them. Okay. Yep. Happy with this. Come and wait here for tomorrow. Okay. It's all right. It's not quite the epicness that I was thinking it would be, but it's all right. Luna can do her adventure. Um, she could wait and we could give her some reinforcements. I can be ready to fly down here and drop in on you here if you can stay in the area. Sound good? It does indeed sound very good. What's the fastest thing you've got here? Speed six. See, it's just auto habit now. Prepare for tomorrow. Uh, Luna, Luna, you've currently already got this configuration. You don't yet have zombies, but I'm not letting you have any. So, I'm not doing those upgrades. Saving my money. I'm not going to upgrade these either. Happy with this. Okay. Yeah. So, don't be a complete stranger. Can get this scouting done. I'm all right with that. Tomorrow, where do you actually get to? She has 1,700. So, she will get to about here. Yeah. So, it's a two-day job. You're going to need to come back anyway to get ready to receive. Oh, brilliant. Dragon cliffs. Still don't need Portal of Glory yet. Green dragons are better than red dragons for this [music] purpose. Sorry to say it, but I'm here now. Like, I'm up here now. It's not It's I mean, these are here. So, that's why I'm going to do it here. And there they are. You can see the greenies flying around. Oh man, this is exciting. This is so cool. You stand where you are. You do this. Brilliant. Uh, we will take this. Oh, hang on. Do this first, maybe. No, do this first. It's more important. No, don't recruit them. How much movement have you got left? 377 will remain. Not enough. I'll come back and get this. The reason why I rushed to the griffins, that's that's a waste, isn't it? I had enough moves. If if I done the analysis, it would have been fine. I would be up over here now instead. um can actually grab them for tomorrow. Uh is just that I really didn't want another week to pass without it being flagged as mine [snorts] because of the way accumulation works in Horn of the Abyss. All right, what do you guys want to do? Uh I'm having fun here. I'm enjoying this. Wow. come out to. Okay. So, blue, what? Who are you? All dwellings. You're a nobody. [laughter] Don't get a good look at Th. But if he's just hanging out at home, you're not going to win the game doing that. Oh, shame about the griffins. They're almost certainly dead. Oh, why didn't I give you the whole kaboodleoodle kit? And can you get back here? That may have been a mistake. You can. Uh, well, do you want to come down? Take the griffins off me. That's probably better. I also have the option of killing Ingam. I need to go back up here. Well, what if I make sure the resurrection happens? You get to keep the griffins and then you fight Ingam with I could bring you some castle stuff. So, I come to here with whatever you need. I might be willing to step off a little bit for you. Yeah, I'll need to step quite a long way off. You keep the boots. Never heard of Ingam. Spell power six. Two giants. some inferno stuff, I think. So, I'll keep the griffins alive. Don't worry. Yeah, it's fine. I'll just bring them all back at the end. Ideal. Uh, mighty kind defend. And I'll make my decision about my spell now. Do I resurrect now or do I h if I kill one of the stacks using magic? Like let's say I kill these using magic. Or maybe I should kill these ones. So you need 150. Kill these. Don't like them really standing over the lava like that, but oh well. My turn. Come back to me. Cool. Starting to get the hang of this. Peep your head in. Plus one spell power at the Order of Fire and the Mage Guild. [gasps] Oh, decent town. We've got normal devils, not arch devils. And how much money will we spend here today? I can just spend this money. Oh, no, I can't. Okay, cuz I need money as well. Uh, why don't we buy Luna's soldiers first? I think this has to happen. Yeah, she has these. She has these skellies. How many skeletons does Luna have? That's all right. We'll trade. We'll trade if we have to. Save these other troops. Do a bit of this. Actually, yeah, happy with that. What do I keep? What's my movement stack? Nothing. A wraith, maybe. It's not very good. No, I'll have these four guys. That can be my thing. All right. Um, set off G. It's fine. Luna, tomorrow I will be about here. So, find out what's going on first. Oh, boy. The grail's [music] been taken. Cliff nest. That grail's almost certainly been taken. Oh, boy. Yeah, it's right here at the bottom of the thingy. Yeah. Okay. I'm just looking at the puzzle map here. There's the L shape of the underground. So, the grail's right here. And bang. I foresee that it was taken from one of these two holes. Um, which is bad. Um, and it looks like maybe red took it. Let's have a quick look at the thieves guild. See if we can get a sense of who might have it. Not clear. Let's just stand here. Okay, I'm going to kill Ingam. Seph, can you set me up? I'll use devils. Angels. Angels and devils in the same army. Pretty cool. Better. You guys better stay. You better stay on opposite sides of each other. Um, that's a pit lord. I'm going to have three tube [music] types. is toast. I don't think I need to do anything other than this. Two devils, two giants for E Fre versus what you're doing. You'll be fine. Okay, that's what I want to do. I'm willing to step off slightly go the long way for you. It's actually a bit risky. Come here. [snorts] I probably overused Seven Roth there. Now you're not going to need Yeah. No, keep these keep these troops with my blessing. Actually, the courtesy of Jedi [music] and his diplomacy. I mean, I'm out of here. I am out of here, baby. Well, with these 15 griffins, what am I going to do? I'm going to go back to the castle with them. So, we may as well pancake them onto Alamar stuff. Does cost me a bit of movement. This is the fastest way to the castle is what I'm saying. Sure, it's not better for her to run down here. No, I need to get to the castle. I want the archangels. I want to do this archangel thing. Okay, Ingam be dead now. Well, he's probably just going to throw a lightning bolt and flee that means. So, I'll just let this happen. Uh, take the magic. Now, it is day one. So, being day one, I think I'd like to survey my new empire, my new inferno. Day one. Get the horses. Super. Now you're not needed just yet. We aren't going to be spending mega bucks on you. How tired will you be? Do this on the way then? And no, wait. Stop. You can go there and just don't buy them. Just await my instruction. A Yeah. All right. Yeah, I'll buy them. Oh, come on. Give me a little menu to do my thingy. Not visited. Good. What's down here? Well, all right. I'll go and get that stuff. Yeah. Team player Alamar. Okay. These boys. Yep. Uh, Jaggar gets the unicorns. Um, smashes through here. Yeah, I just won't engage them. Um, and I might try and upgrade the dwarfs here if I can for three grand. We'll just save that little bit of movement. Having the silvers is quite nice actually. Yeah. Okay. Jedi, how many moves will remain? 148. It would be a bit sad if we decided we do want to set off with him with [music] the bow and all that and not have grand elves. Oh, wait. It doesn't matter cuz I go to the hill fort on the way, right? Yep. Hill fort means that none of that matters. only gold dragons when we're ready, which of course we're not. So, there's town hall. No other purchases, I don't think. Yeah, we didn't do red dragons. Okay, end the turn. Fafna runs away. Okay, I'm willing to Yeah. The hell was that? That was annoying. That's this week's troops that I didn't buy. [laughter] You just didn't buy the pit lords. A It's a nasty fight, isn't it? But it's the kind of thing where it's like, no, if I come back. No, you have to do it yourself. [sighs] Can get the Goggs if there are any. That is I've got time to get the Goggs. So, we'll go here. Well, it's going to hurt. Okay, my lightning bolt does 190 cuz I've I've leveled up to four. 190 is serious damage. Um, we just have to hope that they go for the lightning elementals. Could be some morale issues here as well. Okay. Well, these are the types of fights that you you can't you've got to push the team. One thing we could do is get the hill for first. The only problem with that is he buys the pit lords tomorrow. I don't know why he didn't buy them now. Oh, wait. He has. Oh no, [sighs] Seph, I'm sorry. I got it wrong. I was looking at Zarfax. He's dumped most of his army in here. And he has bought the pit lords. Can Seph even beat this? I think she can. Criy. How fast is a devil? Okay, I do trump that. I can come down and do it now. Do you want my help? I can give you these devils. Or does she just do it with a stack of 11? I think if he has exactly artillery and implosion, I could be in trouble cuz he gets the first turn. Cast the implosion. There's not a lot else. I get the first turn because of the speed 12. [music] The devils aren't arch devils. If I want some help, I could get it from him before I attack. So, I think No, you've gone the wrong way. The whole point is we're not doing that, right? Okay. You got away with it. [sighs] Okay. Zarfax actually, interestingly, does have to fall back and sacrifice those those troops like idiotically why he didn't upgrade them. He can take the familiars back with him, I guess. I'm not sure how that's all going to work. So, the question is, does she want any of these stacks? I think they'll just get in the way and I'll have to resurrect them. I'm pretty sure I could do it without them. One clean stack. I lose however many griffins. I don't care. And then I just resurrect at the end. I think we can make this work. I think. Oh, okay. Zarfax stands out the front and just dies. But he brought with him an almighty army. I didn't win any. So he had a huge army with him, but he wasn't an important hero. He had no artifacts. So there's no one in here. There is. Ah, okay. Cool. I missed that nuance. All right. Nice, nice, nice. Okay. It's kind of what I was afraid of. Okay, it's not too bad. Somehow they got the first turn. The way they did that is that the sultans outrank the angels. >> [snorts] >> I don't really want the sultan's um the fire shield won't hit my angels, right? No. Oh. Oh, well, you're vulnerable to meteor show now. Let's wait. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. [sighs] Okay, I can kill six devils. It's because of the hatred. Or I can kill 10 of these 11, but I take fire shield damage in response. Uh, okay. Let's use the hatred. Get out of the way. He will be bringing demons back as well. We have to be aware of that. Um, [snorts] defend. Let's see what they do. Wow, they come out. Okay. What do we think? Delete the stack. Familiars. Um, okay. Your witness Terrible. What did that do? Woeful. Like the point is Maris, you don't have enough time. Well, I keep reloading her spell points, which is annoying, admittedly, but don't care. Unless we forget the uh angels have a turn. You really want to come and fight me? Three hits from the giants will hurt like hell to be fair. But there's not enough going on here. I'm saying. This attack's too good. Yeah. Die out the front. Do you really want to come see me? It's okay. I know it looks bad. They're coming back. Don't worry. No good. Do I resurrect yet? You better get a move on, man. There's quite a few missing. My only concern is I have to do it again. So, just do it again. It's fine. Kill these when the giants hit you. Well, h no, I guess I've got a chance of uh living through the Mog attack. Yeah, that's one reason why you might live. Okay. Don't Well, now's my chance to cast, right? I think we're fine. I think it's it's worked out more like she just doesn't have an answer to it. Yeah, it's just not enough. It's fine. Another res here and we're done. Need to be a bit careful. I could kill this. Kill this. Let you have a turn. You can't run away. So, we'll just make sure. Yeah. There's no way this goes wrong, is there? I can't retaliate. What is my speed? Speed nine, right? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. So if I stand here, I've got you. There is one thing I could do just to make sure everything's Okay, the griffins go down. We're losing spell points, [snorts] but we'll get it all back again. She has already been in here. Um, yeah, everything got bought and it was just a terrible outcome. So, I'm going to leave you to deal with this. I've got to get out of here. It's like when the plumber comes and fixes something. I swear everything was working beautifully and then he's just he's just driven off. He's up the road and it's like, "Nope. Oops. Oh man, wait. There's something wrong. It's still not right. Like, come back." And he comes back and he's like, "Oh man, [snorts] Sod's law." They call it here. Sod's law. And it wasn't even I mean, it wasn't Sephro's fault. We No, it was no one's fault really. We just didn't know that they were lurking. So, I think for today, I want to Well, I'll decide what to do. I'm going I'm leaving. And I don't want you to give me anything. Yeah. It's not what I wanted, though. for today. Malikthus and I'm okay with Malakus dying if I have another hero that can um profoundly, you know, kick butt. Then, uh I'll die to it. I'll I'll accept that. What spells do you know, man? You have blind. You have lightning bolt. Okay. I was going to say I could build you a mage guild here. What's this do? Yeah. Ooh, brimstone. Storm clouds. Don't see them very often. Spend the night here and then we'll decide what to do. might be that we hire a hero uh to come and do some scouting out this way. Maybe that's a good idea. Why do we do that right now? He could just be be the guardian. Who's here? Oh, how appropriate. Rashka. Rashka, take [music] one of these. Well, hang on. Let's just see what we can do here. Wait a minute. Do this. Do this. Do this. Do this. Do this. Do that. Can't upgrade them. Okay. It's a strange inferno that doesn't have that upgraded. Um, [music] am I okay with losing the sultans, though? Do you want the boots? Maybe Rashka needs the boots. No, he doesn't because it's a native terrain. Just take two animate dead. Yep. Happy with this. Oh, bit of drama there. Uh, are we still rushing these troops to Luna? The problem is we figured out who Luna's adventure is. It's red. Red is hard. I still want her to have this army before I mean, it's day two. Take the army. could maybe grab the centaur's axe and see what else is going on around this area. Just be sort of in the area, right? Uh, give me all this. Got [music] six of these now. Don't take anything off me. I'll keep the ballista. against my better judgment. I don't have a weapon, so I might go and get the axe. I don't want to go through the portal, but I'm willing to be a nuisance in the area. I want to have someone ready. Right. So, I'm still good. I'm still [music] ready to pounce like a viper. I am ready to finally come here. Uh, lose the slow stuff. And yeah, I'm ready to gallop out with these forces. Right. Then Jedi takes overwhelming [music] force to whichever town is in trouble, provided we have a good radius of scouting. Um, it will be hilarious if this does fall and she needs to go back again. >> [laughter] >> Uh when I say hilarious, I mean uh heartbreaking. Now with that said, tomorrow she is going to be No, she still has to go back through the thing. She has to land here and come up to the portal to get to the castle because this thing is miles from here. It's miles from anywhere. Yeah. So that's her whole journey. So we've got time. We could spend money on What? Oh, this. Yeah, we have time and inclination, which is a pretty good combo. Well, it doesn't matter. It's fine. Okay, you you you Alamar, let's talk. Alma has a little army. Uh, I think I see him beating the throng of rogues pretty handily. Battle dwarves, not so much. I'd be a bit worried about that. He'd need some magic to help him. Best magic for the job, probably bless. Uh, these guys like being blessed, right? Not really. [snorts] Firewall. None of this is very good against dwarfs. Uh, so yeah, let's just do this instead. It's probably not going to be much different to that, right? 101. Yeah, I'll just take it. No resurrection. That's how it's meant to go, you know. A fierce windstorm reveals the entrance to a buried tomb. Your investigation reveals that the tomb had already been looted, but the thieves overlooked an ank on a gold chain in the dark, which is the [music] pendant of life. Ah, we cannot be death rippled. Thank goodness. I was really worried about that getting death rippled. Never know when it's going to strike. Happiness. Happiness is a strong word. Ooh. Hello. Is that [music] my old not nemesis? Because I wasn't watching this. Ah, she landed. Paul, I get so wrapped up in what I'm doing. Right. Red. >> [laughter] >> Okay, Red shows his head. That is Thad and he is scary. Um, cool. Luna, you might need to Oh, help me deal with Oh my god, so much going on here. Uh, Sauron can be hedged against easily. That's no problem. Don't worry about her. Luna was going to do this job. I think she'll still do it. The reason being that I left soldiers here and I don't think she can chew through all that. So, that's fine. So, we'll deal with Sauron now in a moment. That Alamar Alamar, it is not safe upstairs. Need money. My advice to you is to stay away from the underground. Or you could attempt an escape. Oh, hang on. I'm right here. Yeah. Yeah. So, there's Luna. He will annihilate all of us. Yeah, he will. He'll beat He'll beat us. Yeah, he will definitely beat us. I've got six ghost dragons. What have you got? Hang on a minute. Luna versus that. Ah, you guys can't see what Luna's See, that's the downside of my camera being there, right? You guys can't compare the [music] way I can. Six ghosties. I've got six ghosties and 12 dread knights, 24 liches. It's very, very even. Okay, the big question of course is how close is our superhero? She comes down here, goes back to the yellow. She's a day away at least. But then again, so is the I think that is a day away. Of course, we buy everything. We fully hedge. Yeah, we fully hedge. Of course, we do. >> [sighs] >> Damn. Didn't want to do this. He could get there. He could. Oh, what am I thinking? I have my handy superhero [music] ready to go. Do you know who would enjoy this fight? Jedi. Jedi can come down here and defend the castle while we wait for Sephro's arrival through the town, same town gate that I'm going to go through. How about that? In fact, Jedite. Yeah. No, he'd just [music] stay stay behind the gates, right, with this army, the swordsman, [music] the four angels, and his resurrection while I continue my run. This area is safe. Maybe we should do this scout first. No. Who's this guy? Rashka. I just wonder if they've got the a horde of them. Oh, that's annoying. How's it not already been taken? I'm not going to bother visiting that. Okay. How did you not already take it? I don't think I can beat them. Not a hoorde of them. If I taken all four sultans, I might be able to Yeah. Um, maybe we start by finding out how far she gets because her journey is actually a no-brainer. We're still just doing plan A with her unless you want to pair off down here for some reason. which I I think this leads to blue. And who's the guy we haven't had anything to do with? Maybe dark blue. It leads to a part of the map that we're not really connected to. So, we continue the run, right? Let's just confirm she can't make it. Oh. Do you know last turn there was a moment where I stepped onto the portal and stepped back off again diagonally? If I hadn't made that mistake, we would be absolutely golden. Another possibility is that the angels go through the portal with Jedi, but she doesn't. No, cuz No, I can I can't do it that way. I could give you the angels and then Jedi takes them through the portal and then I don't have the angels. Someone else has them. Jedi does all the work instead of me. In [music] fact, I've worked out what I'm going to do. Okay, Seph can't make it. She just can't. Sadly, Jaggar can't make it either. The Angels absolutely have to get through this gate today. I've concluded that I just would do not want to take the risk uh of him making this this move. It would require logistics. I know it's unlikely. He probably lands about here. I'm just not going to take the chance. I'm sorry. So, we do have to exhaust our option value. So, both main heroes are going through the gate. It's a one-way ticket. We're never coming back here. The only way for this to work is I have to gallop around and tell and and give Jedi the angels. On my way, I'm going to upgrade whatever rampart stuff we're also taking with us because it is a one-way ticket. Okay, over in the castle. These can be all dismissed. I did buy these four angels when I first start panicked at the start of my analysis, but whatever. Okay, so we are going to upgrade to the hill fort. I know I've got the golden bow and I love grand elves. So, I think that's the upgrade I want to make. These things are soldiers and there are another nine, but it would require No, I'm going to the hill fort. Sorry. Going to the hill fort. Yeah. Yeah. The dwarfs are an easy pick to just stay at home. The unicorns can't be upgraded at the hill fort. Everything else can. Um, so I'd be tempted to um do that. And I have checked the market uh the market place because we have five towns. The exchange rate of 1 to three is on. So we don't need the trading post. Okay. [groaning] Um yeah, maybe I should take the 90 dwarves. What do we think? Is that better? I think I like the unicorns. These guys are too slow. You may as well stay here. That's fine. Um, just take the dragons. Take the dragons. And we'll take a couple more [music] Pegasus. I'm going to need a lot more money than this. Uh, anyway. So, just make it. Yeah. So, I've got enough. Okay. Now, I can angle my run. I think I've worked this out. Yeah, there's 574 will remain. So, I can angle here and I can still get to here. I'm nearly sure. Seph, it's not what you wanted to do. She's so unhappy. [sighs] Ja, what is going on? I'm sorry. I'm sorry you couldn't make it to the portal. I couldn't make it to the portal. I don't want to hear it. >> [laughter] >> I'm sorry. Oh, Jar, you slimy worm. It's not your fault. Right. Give it to me straight. What needs to happen here? You need to give me the angels. [snorts and sighs] And what do I get in return? These two pegasy. I I I just I just can't believe this. I can't believe this is happening. Look, I'm really sorry. It's just the way it's got to be. [sighs] They've worked it out upstairs. This is our only shot. 522 will remain. We pay a stop here to upgrade just the two Pegasy and the 58. There's 58. There's the two. 363 will remain. One, two, three, four. [laughter] [gasps] And I'm going to keep all this up here with me and I'll never see you guys again. So, Jedite, all the best. Thank you, Jaggar. I'm sorry it had to pan out this way. And I know she's annoyed. Oh, yeah. She's annoyed. Oh boy. Ruthfully, the two warlocks part ways on the road. Jedi gallops forth to the town gate where Alexandretta awaits. [sighs] Well, old ain't taking that town now. Boom. That I dare you to come riding up here. He's scouted all this. He can see everything I'm doing. So, there's no way he's coming. Oh, okay. Nice. Well, I'll take that. Um, I got 15 angels. So, do you really want to fight me out the front? I would take that deal. I' I'd even en encourage it. So, I won't dismiss these. I'll fight you out the front quite happily. What a force this is. Wow. Okay, three troop types, but I could do the Brotherhood thing. That's just not realistically going to matter, is it? There's no way Than would be stupid enough to attack me. So, she's got time. Um, frankly, she doesn't need this. It's just a waste of time. Uh, she's just an errand girl now. He's doing that. [snorts] H I'm gutted that I couldn't quite make that work. I I had it all worked out. I had everything meticulously figured out. Uh, come back. That thing doesn't matter. Okay, so we are worried about the killing Luna. Uh, sorry, Alamar. Alamar is the man in danger. I don't know that there's a lot we can do here if he wants to fight Alamar. I kind of like the idea of Alamar being up here. Uh, I'm just going to say no. I can't be bothered. And then these as well. Yeah. Yeah, pursue and kill these. Jail with them. Hide in the corner and we'll see because if he does bother to come and kill me up here, he's galloping through the lava, slowing himself down, getting ready to get trapped, and hopefully murdered by Jet either Jedi or Sevenroth. Unbelievable. Okay, I've done my errands for the week. I think you'll find uh I no longer need the trading post. No downside to this. Well, maybe no, cuz I can just get behind the walls again tomorrow. I won't bother with the windmill. Uh yeah. So, these girls here, [music] we know that Thance forces are here. which gives us an opportunity actually to discourage him. But I kind of don't want to discourage him. Like if I show up in that portal there, he might get back in his boat, which doesn't help. Oh, I think Jedi's killing him tomorrow. Even if he does get in the boat, that's 1799 of his 2,000 budget. Sant is definitely dead because of the stables I just picked up. I could give myself more movement. What's the slowest stuff here? Yeah, I don't really want to not fight with them though. I could live without the Medusas. just for the fight if he if he were to come to us. What are you? You're speed seven. Yeah. Okay, that goes up to speed seven. That gives me even a little bit more budget. 2060. I can get to here tomorrow. No, that's 2175. I've got 2060 to spend. So, if that stood exactly there, I couldn't get him. [laughter] All right. To hell with you. Um, speed seven. Take a back seat. I'll beat you just with this. I will. I will beat you just with this. I got resurrection. [snorts] [sighs] If you do run underground to try and threaten Alamar, uh, I don't want Luna. Yeah, I think Luna just proceeds with her plan. Pursue and engage. Take no casualties. Oh, come on, Luna. Oh, why are we here? Kind of cool to see the ghosties in action. I don't know that we've ever done that on the channel before. Had a proper stack of ghosties. [snorts] You see a heavy act heavy axe embedded deeply in the ground. After several unsuccessful attempts, you finally rip it free and get plus two attack skill. Lots of zealots. Uh, learn a fourth level spell. What would she like to learn? And she's an expert earth mage that doesn't know resurrection. Lots of zealots. Let's not clone. Um I will get back to the necro I think. Oh yeah, I've still got Sauron to think about. Where is she? down here. Okay, I'll just come here [snorts] and at the necro uh we will buy uh zombies I think. Let's go to the Wii marketplace up here. Don't want to trade too aggressively. Uh, it's nice to have some money up your sleeve. Good old zombies. Oh, how many do I need? I'm not taking any chances if that's what you're thinking. over at the estate. It's 19 enough. I reckon. Yeah. All right. All eyes on that. He is an animate dead specialist, by the way. Yep. He does go for the underground wise. Jedi can't catch him there. And he does have an escape route. Sauron goes the other way. Fine. Uh, let's just check what are Jedi's options. Yeah, can't quite get there. Uh, the boots have been given to for galloping chasing the over this stuff. It's not great. Yeah. Start with something uncontrovert. Yeah, this guy's got the boots [laughter] of all people. Who did I give the boots to then? This guy. This guy's wearing them. So, he could set off today. He could come to the yellow. He could go through the same process if we think the inferno is safe in the hands of Rashka. Yeah. And I can get there today. [music] We could do a swap. Let's do that. I'm not going to do that. Fine. Even though I'd love to get that sulfur, but let's swap our heroes over. We want this place to be [music] well defended. I do need some soldiers to be traveling with. I would like to be speedy. Mr. Mid, not leaving you anything. Yeah, Rashka. Look, just don't lose the town. All right, I'm going to try to bring the boots back to civilization. If we lose the inferno, we lose it and we'll come back and have to reconquer it some other time. There is this Luna. What's your story? Why don't we do an easy thing? We don't have really difficult [music] decisions to make. Yeah. Can I do it without losing anyone? It's understandable. Yeah. Yeah. H uh get stuck in. Let's see what happens. Doesn't quite kill sorrow. >> [sighs] >> Uh, right. Well, Jar, everyone's left you. [laughter] Big loser. We have to decide. Is she going is she doing this now? If she wants to be the wielder of the archangels, yes. And everyone else has left her, so there's no sense [music] in sticking around here. So, come through. She can't go there. Jedi's in the way. Do it. Seph has to do the talking. Gets the staples. simply takes the angels and nothing else. He then I pictured her being the sailor is the only thing. Oh, [snorts] everything's just not quite Anyway, in the boat. It's it's it's only a short hop. I think Jedi will land here tomorrow. You don't need to be a navigator. He's asking her all these questions about like what do you do? How do you tie a knot? Like what do you I don't understand. And she's like, "Yeah, yeah. For some reason, I randomly am a complete expert at navigating. I wanted to learn how to cast chain lightning properly, but uh instead they made me learn navigation, which ironically requires mastery of winds, right? Oh, hey. No, hang on. She could get in the boat if he got out of the way. Maybe. Yeah. Well, like if you look at this, it's not clear that uh she does by cutting across the grass here lose that much movement. So, I'm not going to overthink it. She talks to him again. Even though they've had this meeting a million times, [snorts] everything remains the same. The logic is all still the same. There are 15 of these now. Uh, I don't need these. You can have them for speediness purposes. [snorts] You need to Make sure that yeah, you have your nothing stack in the middle because of the liches. Oh, no. Well, they can hit the ground anyway, actually. So, have things that move away from your archers. Yeah, whatever. Okay, I don't think it matters. Okay, we've had this meeting a million times. That meeting has happened. Jedi gets in the boat. He's ready to threaten Red's homeland while Sephenroth [music] goes and chases that. I think this is okay. Okay, she has the whole team now. We can't If we could upgrade them to dark angels, we would, but we can't afford it. It's absolutely no sense taking anyone else cuz they'll just get in my way and slow me down. Um I'm actually just going to say no. Well, it's very I mean it's not far out of my way at all, is it? Yeah, I can walk straight down. Yeah, that's fine. Okay, this poor guy has just been left. No one loves him. He's like uh Arwin or something, you know, in the movie as Arwin is thinking about what'll happen after Aragorn dies and she she's going to be left just in this green perfect world to just live out her life on her own, which was an interesting capturing of that moment in the book where it's described her, you know, the potential for her upcoming, you know, sadness at the event of that. Um, yeah, if he comes up and snags Alamar, I'll be sad, but will also be dead because I'm right behind you. [laughter] All right, we need to get back to Sauron and we want to try and execute her. if possible. [snorts] Sure you've been there she whiz probably over spent on the defense of that but Alamar you just have to hide there mate. Yeah. Uh this guy trotting around doing things but doesn't really He's a little bit like our old mate Jaggar, isn't he? He's like just saving up Trogs and waiting for next week. You're doing a good job there, mate. All right, no more purchases except maybe the Inferno, but I don't think so. Could upgrade the kennels. Shame about the castle gate not having a application. No more rampart. No more anything. We just want the portal of glory now. [laughter] [gasps] No. Oh, Fanty. Fanty. Than Fanta, what have you done? You fool. Do you not know who I am? 9:45. It's just so strong. Crack. Crack. Boom. Boom. Boom. Uh. Yeah. Um, I'm not even sure where to start. It's like a smorggas board, isn't it? He does have 120 spell points, which is pretty annoying. So, let's say he expert slows Right. Like what's the worst he could do? He could blind me. That doesn't do anything. Protection from Earth. Clever. Like it. Can't protect my angels from resurrection though, can you? And you also can't protect yourself from chain lightning. kind of like kill this into the kill that chain lightning first. Crack crack. It's a bit of a waste. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 Dare I Well, mathematically, yes, Paul, it works. The chain lightning must jump to the vampires. I can do this with confidence. 1 2 3 4. Would you bet your life on it that it won't accidentally go to the angels? I won't bet my life on it. I've I've checked this will work. Okay. See, um yeah, protection from Earth. won't save you. Well, is this just better? No, this is pretty good. I like this. Yeah. See, that was the danger. But he's only power six. That's a legitimate threat to this build. Absolutely. If he was spell power 20, this wouldn't have been a viable hunt, I don't think. Right. But all you can do is spell power six worth of damage and then dog pile me and it's just not enough. 15 I get back, right? I think just do that. We'll do it again if we have to. Yeah. Wow. Okay. All right. Respect. Okay. I think I have to suck that up. There's not much I can do about that. All right. Touche. Touche. Now, having seen what we've seen, can we cope with that? He has a 600 power implosion. [music] We could swap. We could change change tack here. Um, Jedi kind of comes up and attacks the factory. which is purple, I think, with goldies. Purple's pretty strong, actually. Okay. Yeah, we need to reflect on that a little bit, don't we? Okay, let's do the no-brainers. I I I thought it was a no-brainer up there, but Cape of Conjuring is kind of okay. Just die. Thank you. Uh against the Medusas. How many Medusas are there? Should be all right. I'll take it. Learning. What am I trying to teach people now? Well, I'll just do this. I don't know. Yeah, but these are going to be useful. Horde of sorceress. I should be all right. Okay. [snorts] Can't animate dead here. Need to be a bit careful. Maybe I could sacrifice A friendly living creature. Well, I have some harpies here. Uh, what are my options? Firewall's no good. Blind's pretty good. How about blind? Wait, I can get all the way over. How fast can I move? 14. Decent. blood. [groaning] Ow. Thank you. [laughter] Uh, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yeah, that'll be relevant. Don't kill a Don't kill one. Oh, whatever. Oh, bloody ballista. Well, is it better to wait here? Smack them with this instead. [snorts] Yeah, cuz it says I can't kill them. Yeah. So, now I wait. Oh, bollocks. Ah, now the blister is going to wake it up. The retaliation. I didn't factor in the retaliation. Oh, what could we do? I could haste the skeletons. Oh man, if I haste the skeletons but don't attack, stand next to her, there's a good chance she'll just melee them. So, as idiotic as that is, that's what I'm going to do. Oh my god. Well, I'll give you the ch I'll give you the choice of shooting them then. No, cuz you get two shots. I hate the ballista. I I actively hate it. Remind me as a spellcaster never to get the blister ever again. I can't take it off either. [laughter] Uh maybe I could destroy it like I did before. Yeah. Don't get a ballista when you're a fire mage. Uh woeful. Um okay. I think I'm the one who gets in the boat, aren't I? We get over there. Alamar can kind of help with the logistics tomorrow. I can probably get to here and then get down to the boat. It's kind of your job up there hiding. What's his budget? 1,700 of which 52. Okay, 1,700. So, we can get to here. So, let's push play on the strategy. Yeah, that's your base. I know where you live, mate. What? What are you going to do? How are you going to respond to that? And now what I'm saying is I'm actually going to just hop in a boat here, which I can summon. It will attack whoever this is. Why is this still here? like it's a Yeah. Well, I can decide, right? [snorts] Two maybe more power. Day five. It's a bit of a waste of my time though. Done all this. It's not interesting. Yeah, she kind of has time now. This might not have been done. I might as well check. Okay. come back into the center. I need to know like is I can go and get in a boat anytime from here on either side basically. 1738 out of her 2900. Yeah, I can get in a boat here or there. I'm ready to rock whatever you want, but ideally I'd like to stick around. Now, boots of wandering around I don't need, I don't think. And I'm okay to just scout, I think. Do I have scouting? I must have basic [music] scouting. Yeah, he learned it from the witch. And he scouts an even better way of scouting. Oo, manufactury. Cool. There's runes of imminency that somebody wants. Caitlyn stinks. Moth stuff. skeleton transformer. That was worth doing. I don't think Caitlyn can get to me. I'm going to keep going through here. This is the most audacious scout in the history of the channel. I'm kind of ready to attack her as soon as she comes back, but I don't want to spend the money. [snorts] Like this army here isn't really. Probably is good enough actually, isn't it? 23 vampires, 51 zombies, and my spell casting. Yep. No, you don't get to spend money here. I think we've just got to do it. Yep. Enough is enough. Sauron, I'm whing out my life here. There's nothing here for me. There's no reason. There's 48 zombies there now. Life is meaningless. I mean, I'm just a total nihilist up here. Everything's pointless. I visited the star axis more times than I can remember. I'm ready to jump behind the walls if you need me to just go away. Actually, no sense paying for the portal of glory yet. Still, oh, blue is there. Okay, let's check that. Oh, you can get to me. Damn it. Don't retreat. No, no, no. Let's have a look at her. Oh, I'll have those spell points. Thank you. Now, what cruel thing can I do to you? 218. Say goodbye to him. Hey, can I win this? What are you doing casting? I just drained two spell points from that. Okay. Yeah. Well, and you've got neg three morale. Can't I just keep doing this? [laughter] I think I'm going to win. How dare you? challenge me. Oh well, I would be depressed, too. Caitlyn is an absolute [ __ ] I only need magic arrow to kill that, right? [laughter] Oh, it's still alive. Um, well, let's just see. Wait, with these What? What do you keep casting, man? Caitlyn, what is that? I love that little sound they make when they attack. She keeps casting protection from water. Oh, that's why the magic arrow didn't kill them. Maybe. No, I don't think I need to. Just don't worry about it. It's fine. Why would you continually do that over and over again? Is it the only spell you know in your whole spell book? Maybe she's never been to a mage guild. Unlike mail sucker. Okay, but if you want to kill me, I'm all the way over here. My familiars 170. Oh, no. They have protection from water, don't they? Kill him. Cop that. What are we doing? [laughter] Uhoh. [snorts] Okay. Party's over, Nila. Oh man. Nila is serious. Nila is a serious contender. She can have the Inferno. I cannot stop that. She wants the Inferno. It's hers. [snorts] She's got to get past a week of stuff, though. Jed, it's day six. You don't have the intelligence, [music] do you? Don't know. I know it's around here somewhere. Hello, Sanctum. Yeah, well, unless you've rehired there, you could be in strife, right? So, how do I get her with archangels to fight Nila, who is Oh, who are you again? half kind of okayish Morton hero. Yeah. Well, this was Yeah. Luna, I want money actually. Luna, money is good. Am I willing to trade down? Oh, the head of thingy. Searching another room, we find the head. Go here. And now I have to decide, do I want to do this or not? Let's have a look at her. I'm getting tired, guys. I'm going to start making mistakes. I don't want to think about Nila and strategies and archangels until tomorrow. Now 375 meteor shower. I have blind as well. Well, it will hurt. Yeah. No, I'm here. I'm here to play. I came I came to play. I came to get down. Cruelty as discussed. Yep. Kill this. Love that. Come here. Lovely. Everything's triggering except these guys. They don't have anything. Oh. Ow. Oh, I regret that. Oh, no. Oh, that's bad. That's not too bad. Seen worse. Whatever. And then kill him. The ballista is thankfully turned off. Uh let's just do nothing and surprise them with the ghosties. Surprise. Yeah, the ballista is a major major. I'm just realizing there would have done it again. Oh, I don't really need water. Good resources. Shame to lose the liches to get it. This is a good stuff down here, actually. Yes. And I'll take it. Okay. All right. I'm going to pause there. Uh, I need to reflect on all of the above. Uh, so I think what this guy's doing, he's probably just going to frustrate and run them this way. If Nila spends a turn down here in the wrong direction, that's great for us. And then finally, Alamar, he's just coming upstairs. He's got the castle uh troops. We probably do want to give Sephro more than just 15 archangels now. Um, that that stuff happened. And the fan fight was a little bit hairier than we thought. So anyway, I'll start with Alamar. Um, [snorts] we want to get centralized for day one. This has all been done for this week. Do I have time to do that? Come here on the way. He wants the speculum. Uh, no. I just did the opposite of what I said I was going to do. Never mind. Um, yeah. Uh, we could also just actually get the portal of glory built, even though there's still no real advantage to doing that. One thing to watch out for is if we do want crusaders. I think we do want zealots. And you can explore that for me, man. If he gets trapped down here, so be it. Oh, no. I don't need that anymore. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, there's almost certainly an underground um here or a portal or something. I'm guessing it's a subterranean gate. We come upstairs and we can run back up through to the inferno. Uh which effectively means that the yellow portal. That's not actually that profit. That's not that useful. Like let's say it's that's true. Okay. I still want to know what's down there. I don't know. I still want to know what's down there. Xi, will we do you next? You're going to kill Saurrog. We could fight it, but it's fine. Just apply. It's fine. Five of these come back. We've given I bet the thing. Oh, hey, ring of suppression. I have that. I also have I know where the runes are. Yeah, I have this Rizlav the seer. I missed that. We have it. Jedi has it. It's a good artifact though. Minus three to morale. Enemy morale is pretty good. Uh okay, we should bear that in mind. I don't know where these other things are. I don't think I do know where I have seen the runes somewhere. All right. Are we doing these Cyclops? I did lose some soldiers last time. Make life painful for them. The other thing we need to remember is that Luna has the head of thingo guarded by lots of cycl. That's fine. Okay. Expert slow. Yeah. Switches on the H. Well, the other option would be to blind the kings and then I've got three units that can run up and hit them. You you you and there are two 6x7 is 42. Can't quite kill them. Yeah, death ripple. I know death ripple. 85 points of damage. It's actually not useless. [sighs] Let's do this. Um, we will kill this guy. Oh, that may have been a mistake. No, it wasn't a mistake. Well, yeah, if he'd gone here, I could have gone there. That's So, that is a mistake. Congratulations. Oh, no. Don't get salty. Oh, curse you. Yeah. See? [laughter] Uh, that sucks. Uh, do this. Yeah, it's pretty bad. Hopefully you go for the skellies. You do. I go for you with a broken arrow. Oh, pretty poor. One, two, three, four, five. I don't know. No, that's a mistake as well. >> [laughter] >> Oh no. Okay. I thought maybe he could get to him. Uh 59. How much do you need to die? 240ish. That'll do. Um come down here, but don't attack. Oh, yeah. That's right. I'm on a mission to destroy this girl's ballista. I said that yesterday. I think we can do this cuz they don't wake up. Yeah, they don't wake up, right? As in they wake up, but they can't attack. They can't. No, they they can attack. They can't counterattack. I get that right one day. Kill zero to one, but you'll probably kill one. Lazy and risky. Silly, possibly sloppy. The sword. Yeah. What do you guys think about this Jaggar idea of mine that we just jump in a boat? Cuz what's the point of being here? I don't serve any purpose. The only thing I can do by being here is buy troops, upgrade them, run around, and plunge into a into a portal. But anybody could do that. You don't need me to do that. Now, with that said, on the water, I don't actually need Pegasus [music] to swim fast or to to navigate quickly on the water. It doesn't make any difference. Uh, so what if I took some of this stuff with me? Far less obnoxious than the ballista. Yeah, he's just not adding any value trapped up here. Get in a boat and do something with your life. Good man. This got done. Uh, she comes back to prepare. It's pretty obvious, right? She have intelligence or something, does she? I don't know why she's above Max. Maybe it's still from the skull thing she was wearing before, Dimma. Don't have a better idea for him at the moment. Yeah. And now Seph, I don't actually know where she needs to be or what she wants to [music] do. She's already been here. She's kind of waiting around. That's something for me to do that's useful while I'm waiting. Won't get the hut, but yeah, let's do this. The 37k isn't enough. I've got I need so much money to get the portal upgraded. Yes. Kill them. Hire them. Uh, I don't think so. 2069. Oh, maybe I can hire them. No, hang on. I'm coming here to spend I spend day seven galloping to here. So, hire them tomorrow when you set off. How about that? do this. Okay, that's a decent turn. Um, it's a decent old turn. That's not too bad. Um, we have to see where and what they're planning to do. I'm still not investing in the dragons back home. I just don't think we have the money. My budget is 46 is what I need. Maybe I could do it. I can decide tomorrow. Probably need to invest in the Yeah. See? Wow. Look, I could get that. Not going to mage good level two maybe for this guy. Nah, it's not worth it. I think we'll be losing that town if he [music] decides to come up here. Okay, let's see what they do. That audio is coming through. All right. Yeah. Well, you can't stand against me. Right. Pink is sadly not taking the bait. Okay. Going in precisely the wrong direction that we want to do. But look, the inferno is a nice little bit of upside. I'm not investing further in it. If if we get to keep it, great. If we don't, we don't. Um, so Seph goes first. You can get these monks with confidence. You do need to leave today, however. 790 remain. Okay, we'll hop in here. Who has that? So, Jedi has two. He's got your one and the ring of suppression, which is at the necro here. Again, these are decent spells though, right? No, hang on. That's a charm of man. And I always get them mixed up. You want the swiftness. Is it just me or are they identical to look at? No. Hang on. Go here and it'll tell me. It's the necklace of swiftness. It's got the little red gem in it. [snorts] Yeah. I'm going to wait here. I'm going to get the stables cuz I want to do a massive gallop up through this west area. I might be able to hook up with the inferno. I might. So, we want to start like this. Um, I could get one I could get like one archangel. Oh, the money. [laughter] It's so expensive. Um, [snorts] right. Have one more. Okay. I mean, the godlike creatures are just so powerful. Yeah. Um, we got another two tomorrow. Uh, by the way, the head of Legion, is it tier six or tier seven? It gives you tier six. Okay. Yeah. So, you stay put. You get a huge speed setting on day one. Alamar does not need to help you. We will buff his [music] knowledge. I think that's better for resurrection. Uh, come up this way, buddy. Okay, so that's easy. That's her set. Okay, now sadly Nila ran the completely wrong way. If she goes through this portal, we will lose the um rampart. Um, and maybe she saw that that's what I did. That's the move I made. So, that was just a massive mistake. Didn't think about her proximity to the ramp part. Really, did I come through, takes the ramp part. So, I think what we should do is just deny just just defend it with meat. Deny, deny, deny. Even these which stink but just do that. Problem is I do need to set off tomorrow. We'll be doing a massive trade down but whatever. Like that's just a pain in [music] the backside for her. I mean unless Nila has good catapulty. We can even kill a couple of titans before all of this goes down. could even hire someone. No, the chieftain. New hero type armorer. Well, what's a chieftain do? It has um 0411. Could hire that guy. Uh I have people who are quite willing to take a back seat like me. Let's do that. It's pretty low cost. Just want to make life as difficult for them as possible. Sadly, we have to lose the mountain ram. Pretty good unit, I think. The mountain ram. Uh, I'm not going to analyze this guy. I love the artwork, by the way. Holy hell, that artwork is incredible. Look at him. Would you want to fight this guy? Uh, blessing dwarves. Is any of that ever going to matter? Maybe a dispel. Okay, dispel is here. So, I can dispel twice. Spend all my money to just make life as hard as possible [music] for Nila. Will it cost a day of my time with thingo? I don't know. Purple is here. And this is where I'll be coming. I want to know how this connects through. [music] Right. There is a portal. And there's also a hero here. Sam. Okay. Friend of ours from a previous previous life. And there is an underground. Haha. Okay. And we're connected through. I think this might be a Rampart cuz Jazelle is a Rampart player. Uh where are you, buddy? Okay, there is an underground. Where it pops up is I'm hoping on the inferno side, which will allow me to run through here. Follow Niler's Follow Niler's journey. Problem is, I've spent all my money and I don't know if I can buy all those archangels tomorrow now as a result of that. Unless someone can find me some money. Um, offense. Yeah, offense isn't bad. Actually, I take it. Might be some money in here. Yes. Well, they were only guarded by idiots, weren't they? All right, look, she's earning you more money than you were having before in G. So, by the way, thingy doesn't need to stay cooped up. That was just for the hiring process. So, we can come back to here. Um, is it better to ride down here? Sorry. Ride around here. Problem is I'll die here without learning anything. Whereas if I stay here, I can learn quite a lot. Coming up this way. Checking out strong Glenn. Okay. She's got nowhere better to be. She could go here. Actually, it's decent. Go to the actual thing that you're waiting for and wait on it. I I was staring at this decision going, "Oh, what have I done? I've just handed the ramp out to Nila." the 50 and the 20 here. I don't think I don't think they're stopping the Titans. There's just too many Titans, right? 12 Titans will chew through all this stuff. Now, would it chew through the extra stuff I've got there? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe not. I think they do. I think they do. So, evacuating actually hasn't been terrible. and leaving behind the stodgy stuff. Not too bad. And the undead, I never had really much of a hope of getting them back to their friends anyway. So hopefully the arrow towers do some work. Geon, not Gon. Jaggar is released from servitude. Um, no, he's not released from servitude at all. In fact, I think you'll find he is still bound to me. by oath? Probably not. But um anyway, okay, Jedi, do we want to take the town now or invite Sant uh around? I don't know. There's the crystal mine we found before. Maybe I can do this. There is a hero in here who will die. I can't imagine it's Thant. If I take the town now, I can gallop back out of it again. I just hop up here, take the town, gallop it back out again, right? Leave behind a token something. If they race back and reconquer it or I can take the town and stay behind the walls now, fight to the death against anyone any comers. So I might use his moves and then just plan to stay till the death. Does that sound good? because these reveals should stay permanent. Just constantly checking here. 345 2011. I don't think I can quite do this now. Yeah, cuz I need the 2011 to actually walk into the town. I think we just take it now. That was better than just taking it and sitting behind the walls and wasting your moves, right? Because this is all going to stay revealed. The cover of darkness won't get to trigger. Bit of a shame. I'm going to lose quite a lot of grand elves here. Yeah. It is that. Wow. Oh, that's fantastic. Oh, that's brilliant. [laughter] Vengeance will be mine. You cannot kill three angels and think you're going to get away with it, old mate. Now his stat line is exactly the same as it was before. I kind of want to let him cast something and try to scam resurrect resurre resurrect my way out of this. So we'll go for the tower with our magnificent. Yeah. Fine. That's perfect that you've picked one dude to to to pick on. Now how many did you kill? You killed one Pegasus as well. Wait on. Wait on here. This is a kill, I imagine. Is this what I want to kill though with this? No, just wait. Well, h come here and kill it. It's fine. Okay, cool. Wait there. Kills 10 to 17, which isn't enough. Okay, Medusa's finished that though, right? Kind of want to see what they do with these guys before I do anything. You've cast your spell, so there's no downside really. Okay, I lose the unicorns. All right. Are you stupid enough? You are stupid enough. Well, so if I resurrect the grand elves, I think I have three archers and three things that die. I think it works. I do lose a Pegasus. As long as this kills 10. The other problem is I don't Yeah, I don't know how many uh I get if I'm going to get them all. 800. That's enough to raise up like 60 61 out of 61. Oh, fant. Boom. [laughter] Oh. Oh, yes. I need both of these things. I love I love love love those two things I needed for combo scroll of implosion. That's good too. Now I know implosion. [laughter] Brilliant. That was just basic ballistics. Do we see him doing a lot more armor better? No. Oh, well, I resurrect anyone who dies, so I'll take the ballistics. That's huge, right? Give me a moment to check. I No, I still have the crown of dragon tooth. I know that I need at least that. But now that I have the shield of the yawning dead in my possession, I've got the shard, I've got the skull, and I've got the shield. Okay, so that's a dragon piece. But I think you guys will find that I now have the parts I need. Well, h before I build it, let's look at what we're giving up. This was my old helm. Okay, just equip Implosion for a moment. That was my old helm. Where was my shield? This was my old shield. Put this next to this. Okay. So, these are the three these are the three components I'm bringing on board, right? So, I'm currently at 91620. I lose five defense. So, I I can go up by threat. So, I lose two defense. I lose two knowledge. And I lose I think you'll find that's Yeah. Well, okay. That's like uh two attack. So, I lose two of each. However, I now possess all the components needed to assemble the armor of the damned. [laughter] I do wish to assemble. Oh, look. There it is. Okay. So, the armor of the damn gives all that stuff back again. Plus the No, it doesn't. It gives the Okay, it gives you the base stuff that they give you. Okay. Okay, so each of the four artifacts gives you um each of the four artifacts gives you those the things that are listed here, which is the three attack, [music] the three defense, two power, and two knowledge. However, it casts these spells on expert level at the beginning of every combat on all of your opponent's creatures. Slow, curse, weakness, [music] misfortune, right, for free at the beginning, which is like just Now, you might say, "Okay, Paul, but what if the enemy is an expert water mage and simply casts cure?" To you, I say that's still an entire turn of spellcasting wasted on their part. They cast cure. You still haven't cast a spell yet. So, they cast their cure and then you do the thing you wanted to do, which might be slow, it might be implode, whatever. They lose an entire round of casting. That's the worstc case scenario. The best case scenario is they have no answer to this mass slow, mass curse, mass everything. And the fight's just over before uh before it's even started. Oops, I have disassembled. Anyway, so yeah, he is he is cooking now. Absolutely, as the kids say these days. Let me know if you'd like to hear me use more uh 2026 lingo so that I sound more like I'm down with the um young ones. Maybe it's better that I don't. Yes, we need to get this red dragon flame tongue to Sephenroth. Um she already has this, right? The quiet eye of the dragon. She does have it. Yep. She still needs the crown. And that also is dead and he was sizable credible threat to us. Nothing of use in the mage guild. Just animate dead for anyone who comes back here who does eventually become a necropolis person. Great result. Okay, day seven. Everyone's in position, but we are broke because we're trying to extract a high price for that rampart. Demon's ready. Let's end the turn. Nila, you can have the rampart. Okay. Mhm. Yeah. Well, unfinished business that I didn't get to up there. Sure. Now, let's get a look. A bann is my cause, but don't think so. Hey, Sam. How you doing? Yeah. Yeah, you're going to win. One, two. Actually, maybe you're going to win before I even get to respond. One, two. Well, movement seven, actually. I'm no joke myself. Okay, I lose two stacks. Can you do five things, though? I don't think you can. Can you? No. Sam, Sam, Sammy, Sam, Sam. I got no spell points. Why not? Oh, I'm tired. Uh, I surrender. I think I'll just retreat. Okay, no problem. Malakth, you did a good job. That's what we wanted. Okay, this is Purple's area. Do not interfere. Right, here we go. We do get defeated. Don't apply. Now, we got to extract a heavy price. It's only six. Six and two packs of six. Two packs of six. Fantastic. All right. So, this guy's really here to just dispel and maybe bless and stuff like that. Yeah, there's no way we're doing anything here other than just mashing the defend button. Um, she isn't strong enough to do anything like fireball that's going to hurt us. Just don't do anything. Let the arrow towers do their work. It's going to be a very boring fight. Pointless. Okay, she's nowhere near as terrifying as I had thought. Only 12. Oh well. Yeah, just wait. We'll throw this away. Come here. Do this. You're not going anywhere, son. things just went from bad for wor from bad to worse, didn't they? You don't see that very often, that defensive animation. Pretty cool. 36 of these. Um, no. I still don't really want to fight to be honest. What are you doing there? Are you taking damage in the moat like sometimes they do? Just hit the defend button. I don't think we're Well, can I attack profitably here? Six to eight. Not really. Yeah. Now, what are you guys going to do? You going to walk onto the thorns or not? Normally, they do. do nothing. The longer the combat lasts, the happier we are. So strong. Those titans are amazing. But there's only six of them. H just mashing the defend button here. I put it to you that 20 more dendroids and 50 more dwarfs would not have changed this outcome. Would not have resulted in the death of a Titan. So I looked at I was like, "Oh man, I made a massive blunder." And in honesty, it was a blunder cuz I didn't think of it. So by definition, it didn't occur to me. It's like, "Oh, she's right next to the she's closer to the rampart than the Inferno." I think I thought of it last night and then I logged off. Coming back this morning, I just thought to myself, Nila Inferno, that's where she's heading. But of course, Pink had been up here, and they're jealous of the fact that we took all this stuff off them. And jealousy in the AI is a very real thing. Totally real. I don't even care. Whatever. It's the last game. It's the last uh turn. So, it's pretty much what the auto resolve said, I think. Um, the obsidians go down. But, uh, yeah, it's more or less the same as the, uh, same as the thingo. Okay. The annoying thing is that it happened on day seven, so we do lose the, you know, the entire week's worth of of rampart troops. I've only got 16 grand to work with here. Luna, can you get me any more money at all, please? I don't want the cliff nest. There could be the scholar might give me money. Why would he do that? But don't pursue and engage these. They're annoying. Do you want to learn archery? No. She already learned offense. I I don't want to overdo it. Um the refugees won't give you any money, so just come down here. Ladybird of luck. Anyone want that? Okay. Thanks for trying, Gillon. Is there any good stuff out here that you could get me? I need money, currency, hard cash. Gon, this voyage of yours, I'm having second thoughts, mate. I can't get you any money. Well, I could run up here and have a look there. Do you want me to check there? Yes. Frankly, we're back down to five towns. [laughter] All right. Oh, maybe I shouldn't have done that. There's a hero near here. Okay, I think we can defend against him. I don't need this because I'm getting the the same rate. Five towns is the magic number. So, come back. May as well pop in here. Grab your Trogs. That's a good day for you. Jedi, could you find me some money? Probably not in this area. Can he run out there? He actually can't. That's a dead end. Well, you're not coming. Actually, now that you've said that, you might not be coming down to the Inferno for a while. So, maybe don't need to spend anything at the Inferno. Don't need to spend at the dungeon. Maybe it's okay. Let's have a look. Go to the market. Can you raise I think I need to raise at least 25 grand more than I have now to be comfortable. I think we can. I think we can do it. I I think we we prioritize her. Get her moving. Make the upgrade. I got to be careful with the gems. Make the upgrade. Get the rest of them. 14. Why did I think it was less than that? I thought it would be 13. I thought I came back with 11 and somehow now I have 14. No, I had 12 coming back. I had 12. I had 15. And it went down to 12. That's what it was. Okay. Does she just go with this or does she take royals as well? 37 monks or zealots rather. 37 goes 50 zealots. 53 zealots. 36 royals plus. Call it 50 55 Royal Griffins. I got to say, I'm struggling to picture who or how any of these people are going to cause her any problems. So, there is a red hero who's going to be looking for vengeance and that. Yeah. Okay. Tika and she's got a decent army. Maybe Loinus just not Loinus Jedi. Maybe he just waits a day until it's safe. We at least force her to, you know, chew through a week's worth of Necropolis before she can have the town back. Can this girl do anything against 15 archangels with my power of resurrection? I can implode these gold dragons. Look at her stat line. So, I'm going to be brave and say that I can do this without any help. I think that was the meanest thing on the map and now he's dead. 50 zealots. I need more like 120 for it to be interesting. So, let's water walk to here. [laughter] It's just so much fun. Go now. Don't talk to Alamar. Are you sure you don't want to talk to me? Wait, I want to speak with you for no reason. Uh, is there a chance he knows something she doesn't? No. Let's just do it. Hello, Jazelle. Time to die. Ah, you know how sometimes all those times before where I did couldn't make it yesterday when I was moaning about remember when I couldn't get to this? I had two heroes. I just needed one of them to get to there and they couldn't get there. Well, it's lovely to finally have this land on my side. Now, as you can see, yes, I was right. Underground portal right there. Ready and waiting. Okay, which means that there is a good chance that this one is on the lava, right? I think it's a chance. I don't know if it's a good chance. We kill her now. There's no need to do anything other than that. Going downstairs is of no use to me. Well, it might be. Let's just kill her. So, how's she laid out? Do we want to go two packs of seven? And then I get to save some spell points because the two gangs can resurrect one another. You get 100 hit points. So, 700 hit points. I can bring two back. Um yeah, let's try it like this. Uh I'm going to I want to practice. [laughter] Do I just give up the turn? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I would have low morale, too. Look at these things on the battlefield. They're just just exceptional. Do this, I suppose. Go here. Um, one magic arrow should kill. Oops. Should kill a giant. And then, um, that's the end of all of this. No more gizelle. I get all her stuff. I get water elemental, which is useful. Useful. Good. Good. Good. Good. All good. Although, no. What's the hot key I'm looking for? H, here we go. That's not part of the dragon. No, that's the dragon part. Okay, what is this? I'm not going to bother with that too much. Plus one crystal per day would be very nice, but I'd rather have the tabard on right now. Water elemental. I will equip that. I don't already know. Shall we ride north or go downstairs? Um, I think we're just riding north, right? Because if you go downstairs, there's nothing there. I mean, I already know what's there effectively. Now, I didn't get to do that, but oh well. It's just berserk, but I don't Berserk's the only fourth level spell I can think of that nobody knows that I could learn and teach to someone. It's not worth a diversion though. Could I set off? I know that Tama is a thing, but could I set off anyway? Come out here. I have the red flame dragon ton. Is Is he the one we want with the armor of the damn by the way? Cuz I do find myself casting slow on turn one with um Sephen Roth. So this would just make it like ridiculous. No, I think this armor makes him a superhero because he's already giving the minus three to morale as well as all this stuff at the beginning of the fight. And then his arm is just okay. And then he's an expert resurrector. Like look at his attack and defense. Like it's actually pretty weak. You have to give up quite a lot. Like I can't I can't have That's one thing. There's an opportunity cost here, right? I'm getting plus two to attack plus three plus three to attack instead of like I can have plus seven with the trident or Okay, he's only got the uh but those debuffs. [sighs] Yeah, too good. So we send him up here. He goes a different way. Uh punches up through this way. and probably ends up striking into the heart of purple. Like if I had to fight this, I think I'd be okay. They're all getting slowed, cursed. Okay, the gold dragons. No, but I can resurrect. Vicki, how many goldies do you have? Actually, by the way, is this where the um You don't get to keep the grail building, do you? If you conquer it, do you get to keep the gra You do get to keep the grail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, it's not here. Okay. Someone's built it somewhere. I think I am heading off. And I'm just I don't care. I'm just going to find some money. How much do you need? Uh 20 >> 20k. I can get you 20k. Do you want 20k? Take it. I'm not going to use this. All this ore. Keep be careful with gems though is my only advice because we don't have a source of gems. >> Take the mercury. Yeah. By the way, do I have someone to rehire? >> Yeah. Malikth. Perfect. Jedi is a busy man. And he needs to get moving. Malakth is my guy. He reappears. Coronious Malakth. He buys the greatest creatures available that the Necropolis has to offer. Uh, wow. That's actually not very good. Got to beat Tam because she has ghost dragons. [snorts] I think I skipped the lords. Not very good against TMA. All right. So, can you get me another four grand? Let's do that. Had to trade down pretty aggressively here. Not these. These ones. No. Why don't I have that yet? Uh, I didn't get enough money. Um, okay. Now, uh, one thing to think about, Malakth could ride down here and clear the way, but he doesn't have to yet, right? I was going to say he could clear this so that there's a landing area for waterwalk. Then again, I don't know if you're allowed to water through blackness. You maybe not. Oh, there's Tamika now, [laughter] babe. What's up? Sailing around down there doing nothing. You can come fight Alamar if you want or Malikthus. Both of them will thrash you. Jedite, let's go. Good work, Jedi. Well done, mate. I will keep the stuff. I don't need to speak to Malikth. You don't need to speak to Malakth. You don't want to give him any of these things? Not really. No. He could have given you the boots though, mate. Do you not want the boots? I think we do need to chat. I think we should chat. Well, there's one reason. [laughter] I'm so good at this game. I'm just so I'm a grand master, in case anyone was um wondering. Uh, please take some chaff off me. It's a great opportunity for me to just rid myself of this nonsense. Ring of suppression. Ring of suppression is doing work for me now. Galloping it all over the other side of the country to swap it for some unknown prize. Doesn't actually appeal to me. So, no. No to that. Red dragon flame tongue. Who's more likely to see her? I think I am. We're both mobile. I keep these amazing things. You can have this because she already has one. This is just an artifact combo type thing. I don't need this, I don't think. Double check. Yep. Uh, take the nonsense off me. No, I'm more likely to see her. And I'm going to keep all the ogre stuff with me as well in case we can build that. You're not going to do it yourself, are you? No, sir. I'm not. Okay. He end up learning a bunch of stuff. Where's the crystal cloak? She has that. Sephro has that. All right. Well, you got that. What's that? Attack and defense by one. That's something. And you learned a bunch of stuff as well. Don't say I don't do anything for you. Um 247. Hope I've got enough for this. Well, air. He's a bit low on knowledge, so I'll take the intelligence. I think he only barely made that. I'm pretty happy with that, though. That's cool. That's a good solution. Downside is I've blown all my money. But hey, you know, I mean, you got to spend money to lose the game sometimes. Day one, there are monks up here. I do need to be ready for her, but I will be. I think if she lands, I'll abandon the plan and come back. Pop in first. Actually, just get rid of some. Yeah, of course. Horses. Come on, Paul. Jeez, get with the program. These are slow as well. Get rid of all this. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'll be back. I'm going to try and hire these. if I'm wrong. Uh if I don't have time, I'll come back if she lands. Don't even need to. I just Yeah, we'll see. She has done her thing. Gets the horses. Um and probably just gets behind the bar now. It's not much of an adv adventure for her left for her to go on. We have to be aware of this Morton guy. Okay, he's a day's ride away. Don't want to fight him as things stand now. So, let's come back. [snorts] Now, I'm too tired to do anything else. On the slow side, aren't they? Uh, well, I'm down to 30 gold, so that's just going to be the way it is. No. Okay, that's fine. We're broke, but we've steadied the ship. We've lost the ramp part. That's a bit of a bummer, but uh we'll get it back. Okay, Tamiki gives up. She's going to go and spend seven days sailing around wondering what to do before red is defeated and disappears forever. Don't really care if blue gets that stuff that's up there. Teal is gone. Yeah. Yeah. Pink is where it's at, man. Nila and pink is where it's at. Okay. She's probably too weak to do this. Um Jedi first. I'm probably okay here. Let's start with this guy. Let's see if we're okay. Um, sorry. Just mucking around here. Let's see if we're all right. Um, I think I want you to go this way. Oh, you can't. Oh, we're actually shielded by this. Okay, that's quite nice to know that. Which way should I go? It's very unlikely there's any little nasty hero in here. It is a two-way portal. I can come back through if things go wrong. He came this way, so we're fairly certain that that's okay. All right, that's useful. Okay, Jedi, come on down. Let's go through the portal. And I have you angling up this way. But before I move you too far, let's do a little bit of each hero in turn. So if I open the Pandora's box and I get experience, that's why that's needed. The speculum is wanted by somebody. Raphael. Raphael the sea wants it. It's just literally here. Do [snorts] you know Water Walk, mate? No, you won't. Okay. Oh, while I'm here, let me do this guy. Nearly makes it back. Yeah, just come back. It's fine. We found out what that is. Necklace of swiftness. Okay. All right. So, it's uh it's this one here. Raphael, he wants this thing here. Um, that's a very good artifact. Seph's like looking around at this stuff going, "Whoa, whoa, where do I start? I have to take these boxes to stop them getting them." Oh. Well, how have you how come you haven't done this stuff? So, this might be the other I understand now. This is the other hard zone that's got great prizes and a nothing town that needs to be built from scratch. Gantry. Oh, wow. Um, there's no need to conquer this, I don't think, on day two. That's the underground I want to try to gallop up through to get Yeah. So she doesn't have to rush the conquest. Totally fine with this. Um I'm not actually going to bother getting walking up there to that. Well, better I get it than somebody else. Is a thousand experience even remotely relevant? You can see that it isn't. Yeah, get these things now. I don't want another hero coming down and doing it. A merchant from far away lands trades you a new invention of his for traveling supplies. It makes distant [music] objects appear closer. He calls it a speculum. Thank you, stranger. Just keep doing this. We just don't want anyone else to get it. I do want the crown of the Supreme Magi, although it's only plus two knowledge. Ah, right. So, what if I water to here? Good chance of being able to water on the Inferno, even if I can't get it. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's not part of the Inferno after all. Uh, get into that inferno is what I want her to do. So that because that effectively is connected to the [music] rampard. Um, right. So what have we learned? What does that change? It means the Jedi's journey is isolated from hers. They're not going to meet up. Luna is not far away, though. Yeah, but they all just aren't yet. useful. I won't bother with the ladybird now. Kind of looking to Yeah, if I can come out here, I could follow through. I could even come back around here and be the guardian of the necropolis. The new necropolis. That is useful. Okay, Gueon, who isn't called Guillon. This is Pink's homeland. I don't know that I want to land there. Although, their forces are up here. And I think you can find all this has been cleaned out by me. [laughter] [gasps] Sad. Sad for you. So, we could try and disrupt Pink. I mean, it would be fun to kind of kill Brissa, have another active hero kind of messing with their stuff. Um, learn quicksand out in the middle of nowhere. That's a lookout tower. That'd be quite useful. Uh, am I wearing those green boots yet? Okay. Well, yeah. Who are you? Oh, Lea. I hadn't seen her. She's snooping around. Alamar can deal with her, though. Yeah. Just looking around at things that aren't orange uh to see what I can find that may be of concern. Yeah, Morton we know about, but he's kind of doing nothing in a nowhere area. He can level himself up quite nicely before dying to Xi. Dimma just needs to think about Brisa. Yeah. Come here. Hop in here. By the way, you can upgrade the dogs and stuff here. No. I could have found out with him right from the beginning. Okay. Can she land there? No, there's no way through. She cannot water around this way. She won't be able to walk up through here. There might be. There might be a way through. If she come walks up through this way, there might be a way to walk up onto this road and come around the long way. She does have a very very good logistical setup. The only other possibility is here. Look at that. Okay. So, what about we water around like this and then she gallops up through here up to the yellow. Goes and kills the titans and she will kill them. My seven my 14 versus their 12. Bunch of other units. But then I have seventh and you have nila. So yeah. Yep, that's going to work. No whammies. Please. No whmies. Please no wormies. Please. No wormies. I feel like we've got this. I feel like we've got it. Okay, Alamar, you do need to Yep. Both of you need to be wary. Purple. Yep. She does not do. Okay. Nila does come back. Yep. She's heading for the inferno. Um, right. Hear me out. So, I conquer you. Now, we need to have no blackness. So, he would need to he would need to be able to guarantee me that she can see. She can if she does that now. Okay, cool. All right. Will Nila get to the Inferno today? Yes, probably. Yeah, she will. Okay, Luna, get moving. Let's start with her. Let's start with her. We know that we need her. She's a long Yeah. The thing is, she doesn't need to hurry to cap capture that factory, though. She can do that whenever. Jedi as well is better off sticking it to Yeah, stick to the plan. Stick to the plan. We kind of knew the inferno was toast. That gem pond will [music] be useful, right? We knew the inferno was toast. Cast it. I'm just curious. I can't help it. No one's ever coming back here to bring you anything, mate. There's that. Where does that lead? It leads to somewhere like this. Yeah, which is no good. Purple's just not a problem. I I don't I don't want to capture purple. Well, maybe I should pay attention at least. So, instead of all this, she could she could go kill purple and let Nila do what she likes, which I don't love. I've got the logistics to to to [music] catch you. I won't risk um I won't risk the seers [music] hut. I want to just be absolutely sure. Should be okay. Uh we don't really want her getting it any of this stuff. Even though, you know, like it it's just more stuff for me to have to chew through. Oh, you still got the stupid trogs. Okay, whatever. Hop behind there. Don't do this at least. There we go. Okay, now uh hire somebody. Uh offense and money. I'll take that, I suppose. I think he might be our first overlord. Welcome, Damicon. Have I hired and seen nearly almost every warlock? One, two, three, four, five. Six because of Dema. Six out of eight warlocks have featured. Yeah, I don't want these guys dying either. And we'd be delighted if she chases me. Yes, please. Um, no, hang on. I've done this a little willy-nilly. Uh, I can only buy five. These five Um, let's do that to annoy. I must only use this power to annoy. No, wrong guy. This guy. See, they look the same. Don't you reckon these two guys? They're both both based on the same artwork. There's another one. Gueon I'm thinking of anyway. Damicon. Damicon. In order to maintain your speed, I recommend you keep two of these guys. I'll take the other stuff with me. Very good. Why am I going home? I don't need to go home. I've changed my mind about that. You can continue to scout for me. I think let's go here. Tell me what's going on. Let's clear away this fog. Uh, the ghost dragons are pretty important though. Just Oh, there is a hero there as well. Was that Tamika? I think that's Tama. And she was pretty weak. Wish I'd seen that. But I'm kind of glad I did this, actually. Let's come here. If she wants to challenge me from what from what she it it looked like she had I don't think she really can challenge. Made a bunch more stone somehow. How much do you need? Need a bit. just don't particularly want to have to conquer it again. Leave the lords, but might regret that, but I don't think so. I don't think I'll regret it. I think when we saw her on the water, she was pretty weak. Alamar is getting ready to probably sally out and hit Lea, but we'll wait for tomorrow to confirm all that. Just dismiss that now. And then if necessary, we would fall back. It' be all right. As we'll just do this. Yep. She's not getting to us today. Yeah. Do this. This is an observatory. Distant lands. Oh, I love I love this map object in the horn of the abyss. The observatory out in the water. It's such a good uh a good place to go. Get to see everything you're doing. There's Vicki. Seen her before. Okay, Pink. Pink is shielded from um amphibious warfare. So, that's going to [music] be interesting. How do we actually get to pink? Ah, this gem pond. What happened there? Sa rug, right? Where's he going to go now? Now that you know that, what are you going to do about it? I can't land on here. Can't you can't land on this island? No, I can't. What I could do is go back the way I came and prepare the way so that um yeah, we're able [music] to bring through fresh reinforcements from the rampart. Do you want me to do that? Well, where's Jedi going to get to? He's going to come up through here. I don't actually know for sure that there's a way to connect through here. What is actually going on right here? I need to know what the map is. That's the truth of the matter, right? Okay. Oh, why do we suffer a bit of defeat? What did she kill the towers? I was pretty confident, draining her spell points. She's eventually going to get to go on their turn. If I just come out of fireball range or whatever, start working the guys over. Oh, okay. You can attack the wall, but you can't attack the arrow tower. What did you cast? Anti- air shield on the zombies. Well, that's quite good, actually. It reduces incoming archery damage. Okay, maybe I'll lose first a tent's annoying. Julie noted. I want you to be ready to start sailing out. It's not enough. Surely that's not enough. Wait. Drain. Wait. Kill. Haste. Fine. What are you going to haste into? The skulls. Do they can they walk over the skulls cuz they're undead? I wonder. Who's next? When do you act? You've been hasted, but you waited. So, I will wait. Yeah. No, but if I stand here and I stand there, I'll just do nothing. Come out the way. Like, it's not time yet. So that'll soon be the end of that. You still haven't actually. And so okay, that's that's magic over with. When does air shield run out? Three turns. So all I have to do is just run away. These have infinite shots. Oh, it actually shows you attack damage 42 to 82 from the main building. That's too much for you to cope with, mate. That's what I'm saying. Kill this so it's gone forever. How many shots do you have, by the way? 21 more shots. Right. It did hurt him. How badly? The boneyard. So he can walk onto this square which is empty wall. We can come down here. Are you hasted? No. Yeah. Don't do that. Okay. We'll plan to, but not yet. [snorts] Okay. So, we do need to to clog that gap. Yeah, I'm still not doing it yet. [snorts] Wait, you guys walk onto the thing and kill a guy. My answer to that is h well you going to keep killing a stack each turn maybe I can hop off now right a poor they have haste right well next turn what happens do they die no they act before the zombies We're both speed eight. Says I act first. So, will I take that risk? Well, it's not much of a risk in inverted commas, is it? If I stand here, I do nothing. I get ready. Get ready. Yep. I still don't really want to use him yet. No. Still saying I go next. Oh, he didn't do it. Okay. Play chicken. It's 48 left. Do nothing. Do nothing. Do nothing. Oh, okay. >> [snorts] >> He's still got two turns of haste left. I didn't see that. So, there's a hole there now. Or maybe I do lose. Next turn, I act first. Ah. Problem is the zombies are just going to walk in here next turn unless I get in the way. Well, there's wraiths here actually. I forgot about the wraiths. He could go actually. He can. No, I need to stay where I am, don't I? Okay. Yeah, I need to offer him the choice. Took me a while. There's nothing I can do about it. The fact that that's been breached just stinks. Just is the way it is. So, I can wait here or I can hit the defend button. Um, he's just going to go for the wraiths, though. I can just mash the defend button. Try and keep the liches alive. Two go down. Oh man. Um, the only thing I could do is walk to here and that would maybe pull [music] the zombies back onto here. So, let's try that. Don't kill them. How fast are these now? They're back down to speed five. This guy's speed six. He will act next. So if I get out of the way, you could replace me on the front line. Hang on. That works. I take these two back here, let's say, or up to here. The wraiths stay where they are. The liches shoot. The one skeleton stack. That one annoying stack comes down here. Replaces me. I think that works. I remain to block you off cuz I don't want you going 1 2 3 4. Right. I stay put. I actually can shoot. Oh, I can't see him. It's interesting. If I run out here, that's very, very good for us. If I run out here, he has to take stand here. He loses another three. And then he goes 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 five. He still can't get me. Is that better than staying where I am and shooting? Yeah. 19. So, we just do it. Come to here. The power of the one stack people. Yeah. And now I can block you like this and be pretty happy. Really just need to bite as much time as possible to let the arrow towers do their work. Wasted shot. Uh, I think we just wait now. Wait here as well. Wait. Okay. So, he counts as being in the def in the defender zone. And I count I think if I move out here, I'll count as as being in the attack zone. It'll always be a half shot. So, should all three units run for [music] it now in all different directions? Yeah, I think so. That's what we do next. Yep. should be all right now. We just need time. No morale, which is amazing. Yeah, let's just wait and see what they want to do. Okay. Oh, no. Okay, it's a full full bodied shot, so that's good. Yeah, I did not think it would be this difficult. Run away. Um, do it anyway. 16 shots remain. So, just keep going. Keep shooting. Uh, stand stand tall. Hey, what a hero that skeleton was. Absolute legend. These guys are right at the base of the tower getting utterly sniped. Coming my way. Don't attack. No need. You finally hit the roof. Hardworking liches and arrow towers here. Um, kills two to four. I'm pretty healthy. I think I like this attack. Yeah. Avenge my fallen brothers. Finally, it goes down, but that's okay. Good damage to be fair. I might lose another one here. No. [snorts] Nice knowing you. Shame about these, but I'll take it. Oh. Oh, okay. Feel free to fight each other. Whatever. So, Purple is out on the water. Can I just see where she Oh. Oh, that's amazing. Thank you [music] so much, Nila. You [ __ ] [laughter] [snorts] Where is that? Where is that seafaring activity happening? Who are you? Can I beat you? Do you know I'm out here? I am the amateur seaf farer known as Jaggar. I am a good spellcaster, Sam, and I know you. I've fought you before. We have met before. The question is, can I direct damage you to death? Well, 160 is not very much, is it? Is that going to kill? Kills like 10 10 grand elves. Grab the rampart on route. Like we'll pressure pink with her. He is going to pressure purple. Let's do him first. This is too good to not do. We are too important to stop foreseeing stones now for 1,000 H for a th000 experience. It's just not doing enough for me. Oh no, this is a dead end. [laughter] No, even wearing the boots. That was so slow. [sighs] Oh, disaster. I thought there was a way upstairs here. Luna's coming galloping. like, well, what the hell? I can be the custodian of the necropolis, but you don't need me to be that. You need me to come upstairs here and kill Blue before the end of the week. That was a job you'd sketched out for me, right? And I need it done. It's It's a job that needs done. So, come down here and do it. I'm going to decide about all this later. I think this girl does what it says on the tin she wanted to do, which was to cast water. again. I just walked to here. [laughter] Oh, it's just so satisfying. I love it. Rashka, is there any need for you to speak to her? Unless she wants to take devils with her on the journey. They're not arch devils. I'll slow her down. What's the reason? Just the irony and hilarity of having both in my army. Yeah. Oh, watch me go. [laughter] Fun times. I'll take the power. The power. Damicon, you have one job, which is to go here. Come back to here. And then Damicon, your time in this tale is over. Oh, guess you have to take a dog with you. Dog or a magog? Take a magog. It's been a pleasure. Just dismiss. I I mean, I really don't need him. Do I have anyone else who's desperate to come out again? Yeah. Um Xi Gin Ping wants to come back out. So do this. We've got some money. Just do it. Don't ask a lot of questions. She will get plus one spell power if she pops in here. So she will do that. I will pop in first, however, and get rid of the nonsense. I think we do. I don't want it to be if I get surprised by accident. I want there be to be enough room for him to fall back. So that's maybe a bit of a whatever. Okay, that means that Xi is available to come back out again to deal with Tazar if he was to land here. Uh, I can just pop out here and kill him. So, just be ready for that. Let's activate this hero. And I might finally invest in this for her. It's pretty powerful stack of vampire lords now. 10 gems off. No, don't do it yet. Gems are at a premium. I really shouldn't have been selling them so aggressively. Yeah, buy them and buy these until I get back. Journey of discovery. I don't think Red has anyone left. Who's Red's best hero? She still exists. Vitamina is it? Well, she's nowhere near here. So, wherever she is, she's not near me. You might be able to do that. 43 36 22. I think you'll do that handily. I got a bit more for you. I don't really want to do any more trading though. Go like this. I think so. How good am I at resurrection? Hey, I can resurrect. I can resurrect legit. She's a good spellcaster, too, though. Okay. Right. Well, that's going to be interesting. So, do we want to let her go first? If we're lucky, she'll pile damage on. Bad morale. 160 is all that's needed to haircut them right off the bat. What's the worst that could happen here? I think I like just smashing them right away. Stick your tongue out at me, what you Yeah, right. Touche, but I'm going to resurrect. Okay. It's pretty satisfying killing those. You have a unicorn. Kill. Kill these. Then come down. Not quite sure what I'm doing here. Ah, didn't get to resurrect. Um, disappointment is real. Uh, that's kind of like what happened with the angels and the implosion, isn't it? All right. Hey, Jaggar wants to fight Sam. It's a pretty even fight. I do have lots of lightning bolts. She's a much better I think she's like three and 10. Can't find out. Can't scuttle a boat while she's on it. But I think I win this with lightning bolt and a whole lot of mashing the defend button. Now, if Victoria gets in the water, it would be a different story. If I'm here, can I be fought from the coast? Is that an issue? The other thing I could do is sail out here and wait for her, but if she goes right around here, it' be annoying. I'm just a bit worried that I'm available on this hex to be attacked by Victoria. After the fight, I will only have 95 moves, which isn't enough to move. Because you can see here, this uses 100. So, I actually can't do it. Can't do the fight. But I can wait for you here off the coast. Yep. Okay, we're broke again. I think that's Morton. These guys are in my pantry, but never mind. That's just as Okay, you think you can win it? Let's see. Cool. Um, so three of these guys. Pretty good target, I think, for the first one. And we have another ship to ship battle, by the way. Just saying for the record. How cool is that? Oh, there's another three of them up there. Ooh. No. Well, h should we join up and fight the uh No, I don't think we do. I think we just defend We keep mashing the defend button. Don't have the runes ability. That would be nice. Maybe I do lose. Okay. All right. I lose. Fine. [snorts] Um, is it time to flee yet? I don't think it is. You've got protection from water. Maybe protection from water. Kill one of these. Just don't die. I'm going to take a bit of a gamble here. It's decent. Oh, nice. Yes. Do they deal extra damage to him? I wonder. Is he flammable? Okay, last turn of the game here. Well, if I wait, I can attack, kill one, and then it's a dwarf's turn. You've cast a spell this turn. Yep. And then there's nothing better than killing a grand elf with a lightning bolt, but I think it's probably the unicorn I'll take out. I don't want these trips. I'll just flee. Okay, fine. Lesson learned. Nila, what are you doing? Why? Why? Why? Why are you mcking around down there doing that? If you're just going to wander aimlessly around, then take back the rampart and then I can just come back through the yellow portal. It's a two-way street, by the way. Is there even anyone up there? You have no one in the area even. To be fair to them, they've come back and discovered it's empty, but they would have known it's empty. 472 will remain. Maybe. Yep. No reason not to just take it. I take no casualties. I think that's right. Don't think we need to fight this. I can hop in here if you want me to, but I haven't spent a single spell point. I've already got all this. Okay, they didn't [music] buy everything, which is pretty good. So, we'll just buy some stuff just in case we forget later. And then she can just come straight back. The other thing she could do now is uniquely she could do this. Pop back out at the where? Yeah, exactly. Where? Where do you need me? This hero Morton. He's all the way up here now. Yeah, I think it's safe. Rashka, I think four devils can do it. Yep.
