 Right, that's the end of me. Okay, so Sir Mullok can give the army back, and then tomorrow we can do it all again. I don't think Red has the tenacity, let's say, to challenge me. I don't think they're going to try, but I don't know that I'm here to be fair. I stand here, let him out. She stands there. Yeah, I think that's okay. Up to 10k, so we're getting a nice little nest egg for ourselves. This turned out to be not very interesting. I was going to let Gela clear this area. So let me do that. More underground stuff up there that Red belongs. Red owns. Let's have another look at the map. Didn't help. Okay, let's swap armies. You don't want my ballista, do you? We're going to have some fun over here. These things are pathetic. They're such bad units. The sound they make when they die is pretty good. Level eight, getting there. Basic fire. Blind doesn't need to be leveled up. That's the thing about blind. Fire's the least of the schools that I want to go for. I've already taken ballistics, so I'll take advanced ballistics even though. So Valeska's going to come running out of here. Yeah, she's safe. Right, she's very safe with her three harpies. She's been there. Oh, thank god. All right, you can try the abc, but I think it'll be empty. I think so. We will have gone there. This dude, it's day five. I'm not sure there's a huge advantage. So to buy these is half 5k. How desperate am I to do that when I could just be investing in city hall? And I mean, this would be a good investment, right? Because I'm going to be able to stockpile unicorns like the Clappers as well. I can get the saplings, the unicorns, the castle. I'd just rather spend money here. I'd much rather spend money here than in the conflicts. Alma, yes, keep doing your thing. Yes, I would. Day five. Do we want to just hang here till day one? Can't do that because of the loins. Just trying to plan ahead of what I want to do with these three. I might get to the point where I need to dismiss one of them later. Level one, maybe it's programmed so that your first prisoner is at level 10 and your second one is five and your third one is one. I wonder how that works. Right, we'll keep an eye on this red hero. Let's see what happens. Please, in our blues, just going nowhere. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Dessa. You magnificent sausage. Dessa's dead. Dessa's going to die. Labitha is going to crack out the shackles. Dessa is dead. Now, don't get too happy because Ivor is here with his ancient army from the beginning of the game. Yeah, happy to fight you, man. I'm happy to fight you even with this guy. He could probably, I can certainly townportal anyway, and absolutely. So I can really cripple both Tan and Green here. Like, I can actually shackles this guy. He might be their best hero. I don't, I can't believe he's still their best hero. Who's, right. So why don't we go to the thieves guild? We'll find out what we can find out. We haven't done this. We should have done this. Don't share your wisdom with anybody. Well, that's not very friendly. Okay. Number of towns, Green. So Green is the best by the looks. Craig hacks up to attack 15. Well, then again, power four. Knowledge two is useless in that regard. But if he's got an army, he's good. And you can't see kingdom army strength because we don't have enough thieves guilds. So, okay. I control two towns. We've got two other players controlling three each. And then Green controls four. Blue and Tan are the worst. They still just have their base town. Okay, right, right, right. So I'm fighting the number of heroes is the minimum for Blue and Tan as well. So I'm fighting the idiots while Orange and Green are off having the time of their lives by the looks. I'm not massively impressed with the heroes though. Look at Orange's best hero. That's your best hero. Tamika looks like she's level three at Alcan. I've seen Alcan on the battlefield. He sucks. Okay, I lost to him. Blue's best hero is not this guy, surely. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what you see is what you get with Ivar. We can finish Tan. As soon as he comes near a town, I can teleport in and murder him. We could tidy up Blue anytime we want, but actually taking the city will be hard with my arches. Like I've got an archery army and it's it's not going to be easy. So yeah. All right. Excitement. Get the job done. Give me my stuff back. And let's swap over. I must remember what view air does. What does that actually do? What does it do? She doesn't know it because she hasn't equipped it on this one. Unclaimed artifacts. So I might cast that actually later. Just get a sense of which parts of the map are still alive. Wish me luck. Magic arrow up front. 20 ladies go down. 4 out of 70 remaining. 8-5 versus 11-12. So we're in good shape in that regard. Can't see why we wouldn't just do that. Obviously waiting, waiting, waiting. So sprites fall off. Like six cyclopses. Oh, that does hurt. I must remember that he's had that. Oh, my big teeth. Oh dear. She doesn't know resurrection. Right. Feels like I want to kill these. Oh, good luck was good. I might actually switch to these. There's a morale risk here. No morale risk anywhere else. Just come back and make sure we minimize. That is hurting so much. Elf left 24. I'll finish you off. Luck is triggering. That hurts though. Man, 89. All right. Anyway, did you have any artifacts? What? Yes I did. Helm of Chaos. Dragon bone leaves. Leadership's no good with elementals, so do this. That's just a morale thing, right? So the first thing we do is take the shackles off because otherwise, yikes, we are behind where we sort of expect to be. Um, Gernison can be beaten pretty easily by just the troblodytes even. Tempted to send the troblodytes just down here to bully this area. Come here, just to see what's up here first. Nothing. Guess I may as well... I have that. Who has that? Questing's been really good actually. I think she's got it. So that's in the completely wrong part of the map, but I do have that artifact. So Molek, that was useful. Thank you. I think so, Molek can go do this. Look at the obelisk, and I'll just bring... let's bring this guy this way. I could just come back down here with L'Belia and clear this out. Seems all right. Dwarven Treasury? I might be strong enough to beat a Dwarven Treasury. Okay, I'm happy, but um, unhappy. A little bit crestfallen, for more honest. Don't like losing that many sprites. What are you all doing up here? Oh, right, that's right. Imp Cache. Imp Cache, not visited. Let's visit it. Has been deserted because Solmia got there first. Big shock. Give me the army. Let's do that. Give me the army. I'll take it from here. I just don't think she needs those artifacts. As crazy as that sounds, okay, you are taking the loins here. Okay, that's something we just want to get done. And yeah, we want to continue investing. It's day six. I think I can afford to go Sapling City Hall, as we'll do with our thoughts. Am I investing over here? I don't think I am. Five grand for these, right? Five grand. And it's two grand to do this. That's one grand to do that. Okay. Alter of Thought's very good. I'm really torn now. What to do? Even here, so we're looking at the standing army. I need that standing army to unlock this. Sweep away all this. So yeah, I think that's actually maybe too bad for a spacebar to go back underneath. The way positive morale. Not a problem. Hang on. Spacebar is a defensive stance, and that's not good. Okay, I'm glad I found that out. I was pushing spacebar there to wait. I did it again. You're trying to get me killed. You're playing a lot of Battle Brothers lately, and then Battle Brothers, you push spacebar to wait. Battle Brothers is kind of like the descendant of this game in a way. Um, I think, I feel. A horde of Hogwarts is a joke. Third level spell. Who knows what that might be? Yeah, the deeper question is what are we spending our money on? On day one? I think for now it's nothing, and I'm minded to stand here. We need to bring the hourglass down. That's the other thing, just to remember. Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, all right. Oh, sorry. I'm sort of almost feeling like I'm talking to myself here. Sorry about that. That's probably not very fun watching. Um, you're galloping towards me? Don't you know who I am? Hi, Vah. What are you doing? No, I don't have the shackles of war, but you're lucky I don't. All right, do we want to give anything to Veleska before she engages? Angels could be a problem. What's up here? I could bring you, what do you want for them? Not very much. All right, this might be unnecessary. He's always got something he needs to teach. Surely not. I mean, I'm a ninja. Don't you know who I am? Oh, wait. Use Veleska, don't use him. Either you're trespassing. Reasonable. Oh, morale issues in the ranks. And okay, I think the best thing we can do here is either blind something that we don't like or cure our elves. Let's just wait. Oh, that's not good. It's not going to help your cause. Let's kill him. All right, we'll do this move. Is it dispel or cure? Remove's all negative and heals a small number. And this removes. Oh, I can always come back to defend them. Yeah, they're dead, I think, right? Yeah, definitely. Now we're just getting into the realms of unlucky. Right back at you. So his elves are going to strike first. My stand about here feels good. So here. Oh, okay. I think I'm going to do this, right? Okay, it's a fight. It's an actual proper fight. I'm impressed with the whites there. I didn't think they'd be able to actually do anything. Y-vones can get me. I could go for them. And then these elves are going to shoot. Probably these elves are going to shoot the ones. There we go. That's the way to go. Yeah, kill as many of these as possible. Solid. Solid. Dwarfs are a great investment, aren't they? Actually, I only lost nine. That's not too bad. Decent experience. No shackles. Logistics is spectacular. Even with the boots, I don't care. Anyway, we keep working things through here. It feels to me like these monsters should have levelled. It feels like they're a bit easier than they should be. Disappointment. I can't walk through here's the only problem. So we'll see. I might have to. Oh, there's a crystal there. I need crystal. So there's that. That's what that is. The suffraining gate there. And then there's just going to be another one further down here. Come here for a segment. Take these. I don't really want them to die. I'm going to take casualties here. I'm not really happy about it, but that's good. Yes, I think the answer is this guy can easily beat blue. So we're going to get started on that. So, Muller, you've got work to do. It's not very satisfying. Not very high value rewards here. Sorry, but it sounds like I'm being a bit pessimistic. I'm just not feeling it. I'm not feeling that we have what we need to punch into the long game. I don't like that green and orange are an extra town ahead of us. A little bit of pessimism start to creep in, if I'm honest. I'm thinking ahead to the late game and just the likelihood of being able to do what we need to do. Can I get back? No chance. Oh, the loins. The loins thrust to the fourth. Do I need to try and take the tower? Just to say, okay, fair enough. I've just got to go for it. So, yeah, we're at real risk of over-investing down here. Just because grand elves are awesome, you know. Blue's back for more punishment. I couldn't be happier with that. Look, maybe this is just, yeah. I mean, to be fair, they're trying to break out, right? Izra's trying to break out and live her life. It's even day one, so I get to be especially abusive to Izra. I can town portal down here and shackles her. She's probably got everything Blue's ever found, even though I already shackled. I already shackled Soulmere and got a couple of things. I think this is a really good case for this. Let's go town portal to here. Combine the armies and annihilate Izra. Take all their stuff. Her stuff? Whatever Izra is, I think it's a good. Come down here and whatever you've got left over. Accept the arrow tower damage. I think that's the way to go now that Blue's moved so badly out of position. It doesn't matter who kills Izra. Not really, right? Forgetfulness would be very good. Forgetfulness would be pretty good. This guy could maybe do it. I think we've just got to go do it. We don't have time to mess about. Let's do the no brainer easy things first. All right, I'll just do this now with this guy instead. Just mop this all up. We'll head back up this way. All right, I'm going to save her movement. We're not doing this, which is a bit of a shame, but cast town portal. Go to Rainhaven. Why then Rainhaven? Buy some elves. Buy these guys. Let me check something. Where are the dwarves? They're around here. Since we've started on dwarves, buy some dwarves. That's $1,500. I don't need to spend. I don't have to. Are these just... Should I even fight with these? The sprites? Are they just a lost cause? They're just going to die on turn 1. Several giants here. Expert slow. Expert stone skin. Expert resurrection. I think LeBeath is the best bet. All told. I think she's the best bet. Okay, so I've bought everything that's here that I want to buy. Very hedgy. I've got enough slots, actually. 1, 2, 3, 4. Unicorns coming. Now, instead of you talking to you, you talk to you. Please! Learn resurrection. And by the way, let me tell you about Clone and Sora. Okay, thanks for letting me know. Let's do shackles. I'm having my best hero wearing that. Do I want to give her anything? The... I don't want to give her any of this. The alarm might give her these. Knowledge and power. Buffs. Now, let's do some swap seats. We've got forgetfulness, earthquake, fostering. In terms of water magic, she's got advanced water magic, so forgetfulness on the mages might be good. We'll see. Take this. Take that. And that. Just for this fight, maybe we'll swap back later. Come on down. It's been so long since we've all hung out. Let's get the team together again. Take my stuff. Oops, hang up. That's all I wanted to do. Isra. What you got? I go first. You have 40 spell points. Why do I go first? That doesn't sound right. The Master Genies must have paused. Okay, so Isra is waiting for me to do something in terms of spells. That's interesting. Nine giants. That's no joke. So these guys can't get to me. Speed 11 isn't enough. I need 12 or 13. What a fight. This is one hell of a fight. Kind of feel like if I go expert slow right now and Isra doesn't have expert water, that's just going to pay massive dividends. Even if you blind one of my guys, I'm not going to mind. I just think slow is too devastating. What happened there? They resisted. How did you resist? So this hero must have resistance, magic resistance. I still have lots of people shooting before him. So I think we're going to go for it here. We'll go for these softer guys. They're going to deal 200 damage and there's only about 500, 600 health in that stack. It's okay. So what happened? You lost 49 of them? It's just okay. These are just way too powerful to waste on the Grimms. I have to go for these guys here. And now you hit the Grimms. Okay, does that just replace slow? I think it does, right? So he's moving 10 now. Okay, so we really do need to get down and protect those Grand Elves. I don't want to come anywhere near these. I don't know how good the Ballista is. A few things to think about here. I don't want the Giants to hit me. I'll come here. Come here with that guy. Slow down, get slow now. You can't play. And we could lock this off with dwarves and unicorns like so. The slower. One, two, three, two, water waste protection from fire. Is that where I get down here? Now, if these Giants go walkies, walkies, walkies, maybe I didn't see this Giant Skeleton. I could have blocked that off and kept the sprites alive. These guys can cover the whole map and kill her no matter where she stands, no matter where she goes. So I think I'm going to stay where I am because then that way if he's standing there, I can bind him in place. Yeah, I think that's the right logic. Okay, well, we actually, I think they're dead. We have to save goodbye to them now. Okay, that sucks. Very badly. So I'm losing all the sprites and I'm doing a... Yeah, nice move by him. Nice move. Yeah, let's just do this. I mean, it's half my army verse, half his. He's binded in place. If I walk away, she's going to go, bang. That would be good. Expert slow is still MVP here. No move. Yeah, okay, let's defend. Oh, thank God. Okay, I'm minded to resurrect the Ents, bind the girls in place and then go from there. Once it's their turn, kill the giant. I assume this is a kill. I didn't check the data. Thank you. When is it the Ents turn after the Master Genies and after these guys? All right, we have to pile in here. Is resurrection good? Is that what I want to do? What's my alternative? Clown's still not great. I've got to get these things dead. This was always Labitha's problem, her ability to actually kill things. That's solid damage. Look at that. Keep it up. Six is handy from 20 of those. All right, here we go. Let's try it. I think this is the way resurrection works. 14 rise from the dead. I don't know about you, but I think that is really, really solid, I guess, to do it. Come on, kill him. Fire shield. I'm going to use my no melee penalty here to kill her. You stay put, you little dwarves. I'm going to kill one. You would think I would see that coming, right? I could have left the unicorns where they were. This fight. She's acting next. Health left one. Come off it. I'm getting salty here. I'm getting super salty. I feel like I just have to spam resurrection. I'll use the ends to attack the, could just defensive stance, actually. Let's just see what he does. Another six go down. Christ almighty. So then mobile again, that hasty naga in mobile again. What are we going to do? 11? Oh, the spell is good. Yeah, I'm just going to do that into this line. Be good. You can. Okay, next turn the naga is going second. I can't think of anything smarter to do than that. So the elves are going to shoot the golems. They need unicorns more to come after this. I could do this. So I only killed six last time with my ice elementers. 500 a talk and I can really, really take a dent out of them. Pretty good. Pretty lucky. This seems fine here. What happens if I mouse over? You can't resurrect any more elves. Can't seem to resurrect anybody. Oh, the sprites have we got them out there. I thought these guys had taken, these guys had taken away. Oh, maybe you can't resurrect an elemental for flavor reasons. These guys have taken casualties, these two stacks, but you can't resurrect them. Come back to life, my babies. Yay. Welcome back. Look at that. Don't do anything. Don't do anything. Fine. Do what you're going to do. Kill four. Man, they still go down. I think I'd rather resurrect these though, right? I had 22 at the beginning. I think it was 15 last time. So that's all of them. And I've lost eight of them if I let the fight end now. So I can spend another pile of spell points next turn to resurrect them. Or they're going to have another turn actually. Can I not resurrect the same stack twice? Let's see if we can. Not a problem. All right. Not bad in the end. I mean, not bad in the end. And this is why I worry about the siege. I mean, I don't think the siege would be a problem now. But yeah, a ton of experience. Give me your stuff. Just this. There. Ogre's Club of Havoc.
