 and we're back after a couple of days out with life and stuff and what an epic hold by Sceptiana huge fight fantastic outcome I've just spotted actually this that we're gonna want to go get um it's about to say though I think our mission had been that we were going to yeah top up at the well and can I get to the stronghold like to do that as well right come and conquer this get all this that's kind of what we want to do with Sceptiana now I think can I get through to the stronghold if I yeah she can right so she can kill the zombies yeah so ooland isn't as big a priority as some of these other cool things she could be doing around here um yeah we got the half things already that's right so come and get the box hopefully it's actually got something in it um Stiggy was gonna go just have a quick look ah that explains stuff wow look where we are on the map here we're here and um this is where green was coming from this is how they were getting to us I had I pictured them galloping underground and coming up through this way and um yeah it was a portal all along okay so that's really really good because it means once our armies bigger we can just pop back through here and try to attack sterium connect our empire together it would be really nice to take sterium and have a nice big supply chain all the way across here overground and underground wumbling free I know that 90% of you watching won't know what that means not familiar with the Wombles or you were uh born in the 80s or or later so uh yeah apologies to almost the entire demographic there for that reference now what's Stiggy gonna do I don't really want anyone to go about and tag me and we need to be a bit careful about how far we think green can get so green could get their army to about here on any given day and that's a bit scary okay so we're gonna want to be able to quickly pull our army back down here uh to this kind of central uh node this kind of region here in a pinch so we are heading towards an additional hero I think we have Nagash but we're gonna need more than that to get this done uh now there's no one currently here our options are still Straker feels like ages ago we still was stuck with Straker I don't really want him uh and Zubin Zubin might be a good choice yes I think I said this the other day because we have a stronghold that we can conquer uh so he would be a stronghold hero although his specialty isn't any of the creatures so it doesn't really matter there's not a big interaction there artillery doesn't matter if I don't have a ballista so he's not a great hero to pick Straker walking dead who cares right don't love either of them so I might wait till next week to hire the next hero I think Nagash on day four is this worth bothering no wait there was something we had to do animate dead that's right it's all coming back to me okay sorry guys you guys are watching this in real time um I haven't just seen all of the battle happen with Septiana we just think about this so what's she gonna do she she's gonna come this way okay do that come back here could hire one of them anyway and just jump in the boat and who cares if it's Straker okay I mean he was never meant to be special it's just that his army stinks literally like I mean his army smells as bad as it is possible to smell coming grabbing animate dead getting underground and helping septiana workers work our way up through the ranks don't have to make a decision about these investments just yet six skellies a week for a hundred thousand bucks who cares doesn't really matter that's not needed for anything is it no could be cover of darkness time actually yeah I think that's an okay investment belching forth the black smoke of corruption and these guys I think would look good dead oh man this always just feels so evil nasty nasty business grim grim you might say come here my lizard babies daddy won't hurt you worth it why am I coming down here this week what am I gonna do how am I gonna help you I'm going the reason I'm coming down is that I'm gonna be handy you're gonna give me the army and I'm gonna come galloping sprinting back down here if a green hero arrives that's what's gonna happen right I almost feel like getting a cheeky scout off here it's just so useful this intel I do want to be able to get away though so there's a bit of perception there that they haven't taken so I don't know I think that's a week's worth of troops can she see no she can't it's hoping for visions or whatever there um although hmm what happens if I cast they're not vision yeah no view yeah visions isn't it visions I still haven't got these bad boys I'd like to get them I think green is just turtling anything else I want to send him off with there's a first aid tent in his army so we've both got first aid tents what else do I want to give him I'm not buying black knights and giving him like two black knights then what's the point of that like I don't have room in them two don't do enough they seem to right blue that's such a nice warehouse of gold it's really good okay light blue pink is messing around okay so we're back at g I think g's last mission was to just be a bit of a pain come maybe get back in the boat have a look under here did I do this expert learning I don't know anything though what spell would I love to learn at level three well I bother looks like a pillar of darkness there oh wow look at this untouched oh these are easy there's easy stuff here unspoiled who'd no one's come here how can green not have done this already okay I kind of want to get to that pillar get back up grab a small arm come back and do this do these jobs that's just ridiculous I don't get why green hasn't done that yet um let's have a look here so set jen is gonna open the box I don't get why the AI leaves boxes unopened unless they're planning to give it let one of their other heroes come through and get it it just seems like a strange decision anyway make it so okay like what spells like what prod earth destroy undead's not something I'm planning on doing this game earthquake maybe is that it misfortune teleport hello and forgetfulness my new favorite spell from the conflicts campaign two huge pickups right at the end especially teleport um now I'm an expert at teleport it costs three spell points has that been changed by horn of the abyss tell me it was never three spell points teleports any friendly unit to any honor occupied spot on the battlefield undosed androids wow this was amazing expert forgetfulness in my last uh no campaign before last uh in the conflicts mirth won't be much use to me sadly and I imagine prayer doesn't work on my my team either so I really want that earth magic to start unlocking the the big value tied up in there got that slot ready for it happy with that kind of would like to get some scouting off here could nagash do it I'm in a bit of a hurry she went there didn't she know she's going here next yeah nagash arrives oh hang on we're all together oh the team all back together again reunited gotta get that chest back and I want to flag this so that's look at that that's not too bad so tomorrow she's standing roughly here okay so I don't need to speak to her nagash can learn quite a lot of spells actually if he goes and talks to her can he learn teleport still just a basic scholar that's that would have been quite nice I'm happy enough with this job I could grab the army off you actually we could do this and then I can animate dead after the wolf raiders but I'm all the way around to do that man that's too far yeah just tell me what's out there man tell me what's through yeah nothing okay day five let's talk investment I think black knights are on their way I can't see how we would not be doing that not quite ready for the dragon vault let's do this for now one of the graves okay so it's quite down now that we've really given our blues taking all the fun stuff we wanted to do might just have a quick look at that blue hero it might be worth going and trying to fight them okay yeah solid army right pretty solid can easily take this fight down should be able to take that comfortably enough yeah io vassius I think septia can beat him I should win that right I should win that right what can you do for me yeah 2400 bucks okay I'll pay it let's have a look at these guys they're like kind of like demons right yeah it's like just having eight demons that's that's how I think of them uh casting mirth doesn't help me but eight demons is better than zero don't know if it's great value for money okay back do I want to try to attack him with just this week's troops yeah yeah I do because waiting around is what else can I do so nagash so tomorrow she goes back to base nagash comes back to about here septiana is gonna stand about there and I can actually give her a fresh army on that on that supply chain it's not a fresh army but like I can give her an injection she comes galloping through to here she's here at the end of day one he's gonna get all the good stuff but you won't have time to do all of it and if it gets trapped in here well that probably connects through to there I think that seems okay okay so let's do g first we wanted to try to get to the pillar it's defended okay come back and get that moment coming coming back this is a really really lush area that we want to try to tap into so yeah so planning for day one stigs back in base overnight this guy is standing here not at the end of today but at the end of tomorrow which means she has time to mess around a bit but she's already been here right septiana went to visit these boys she's been all she's yeah she's not done all this she could do this though I don't think that's been hit yet okay let's say he's got time to check this first let's just check you've got to be back here this time tomorrow you got to be like here let's get these good scouts done man okay so how do I use this red arrow what am I trying to do I'm trying to figure out where he can get to I want you basically here yeah he's gonna land about there but that's a whole mercury mine I'm gonna take it there's more stuff up there but anyway well he could keep going and I could just hire someone see what I mean so he's gonna get to there which means stig gets to stig comes galloping out of here goes underground we guessed about there he's gonna have to go grab it come running up the road that's still all right that saves us an extra two and a half k to spend on day one is this on yes good good girl stay six yeah so she's got she's got a day of leisure up her sleeve now she goes from here he goes but do but do roughly did get to about here yep she has to just kill the day okay that's not the k it's about 10 and a half grand so we're just about on the plausibility mark of hitting this hall of darkness and the problem is do I gallop forth with a few black knights I'm not even sure I do right I think I'll have another I'll have six black knights I'd rather have 10 red knights before I start buying them but the extra vampires coming as well yeah I think that's okay oh he's coming to me great that's very good there goes an orange here we're gonna we're gonna get a good look at him okay it looks like uland and uh uland and this guy might come to blows that could be very good uh for us septiana tell you what oh set the trap right gee um get your butt back here should I get that tagged get in a boat and all that or should I try to just raise some soldiers and go and clear the stuff that's downstairs it's good easy stuff let's get it oh man look at all this stuff she needs to learn animate dead she needs a whole she needs a makeover day seven what else is she gonna do other than that truck that truck that grab that I can see something floating in the water out there I want it all could she summon a boat yeah she can right no she's too too tired what do you mean you're too tired I had to kill all those pirates you made it so difficult for me I'm sorry it's the best I could do right right I'm sorry that wasn't fair yeah I mean there's no reason I don't have an army so she can't do it I don't have an army or spell points you could hop in the water at least that way you're doing something someone else left come over and do this I don't have time right gee no stig sorry oh for a minute there I thought oh it was close it was close man it was close okay we're happy how fast are these things speed seven oh it's good all right guys get in position get back here where can you get to there could be halfling time again stiggs gets about here he goes doof doof galloping up to there so by the time he's done that and that it's probably going to be more like here septuana hits the or again tomorrow sorry I forgot where that was where can I get to sorry I got tons of moves septuana is really wasting a day here but I could have gotten to there but because I'm going to go there first can we make it I'll stand here so you stand next to this in here of course yeah yeah so we're there's cover of darkness and stuff but I just don't think tan has any more nasties coming down this road it'd be very very sad if just before I reinforce septuana she gets attacked by something but full spell points army ready to go should be all right right okay let's just check actually let's double check that we get our extra three vamps there it is look at that it's even counting it beautiful just level it all clicks together right blue has changed his mind wow very strategic very interesting okay we have reinforcements oh decent reinforcements decent but not crippling still green elves why how can you not upgrade to grand elves yeah like I don't get how the ai doesn't do that it just has vanilla dudes okay so it's going to have a bit of reinforcement I'm not too terrified of this ogres and dwarfs don't you can't fit everything together there you got the differing troop types right it's just elves and dendroids that are in common so you can't build a really nasty seven stack army with that collection year of the something that didn't matter so that means all of our soldiers are here and we've got 20 grand to spend so let's do what we absolutely know we're doing which is this and this who is the hero nimbus eagle eye uh decent army his army is good enough though to justify that that investment yeah yeah okay so we'll buy nimbus eagle eye man these boys if I was to buy them like this a 72 I'm gonna guess it's more like 9k for the I think I should just have enough money we're very low on crystal again so that's a real problem got it it is 9k look at that okay so I'm thinking maybe I could leave the satyrs for nimbus and we could hire him tomorrow then they're more likely to find their way to a happy home right like it's not like I'm gonna go back down underground here and visit the visit this again and then do something with them what would I do that's of any use yeah so I think we'll leave them here we're out of coin anyway give me as many of these as you can afford if I was left too seriously oh my god can anyone get me any money what are you doing you're doing this is that what I want to do or do I just want to come back through and get all this we'll hop in there we'll hop in there see what's out there sticky that's all the money I could get you I don't want to do any bad trades happy enough let's just I'd love it if these stables are on the way who builds the stables out in the middle of nowhere learn archery no thank you oh look at that smashed it I hilariously have room for halflings I think it's just too tempting I'm just gonna have to do that I think I've got time she keeps this yeah we got time I messed up a little bit I could have gone a bit further with him boom boom my queen I bring you fresh soldiers the hapless doomed pathetic I don't want to share any of this wealth do I no luck no release they go right what can she do he's he's been spooked hasn't he I want to kill all of these people this should be switched on again lovely this would have been good no time there's just no time sometimes you just got to move your keyster can't do it all what is Nagash going to do with the rest of his day come here I don't know yet no more money so that's the end of that blue gets the gold it's a bit annoying oh oh green owns this area glad he got on the boat now okay yes these are the guys I want to kill who is that pinkie or who just came down oh nice everyone's starting to send forces in this region great everyone's done to coalesce here under the ground I had hoped for a water matters campaign but what does this do it gives you morale I think so I'm just not even going to worry about that okay the shipwreck I'm nearly sure I need soldiers to well tell me let's see what it does upon defeating the harpies what harpies you didn't tell me there were any you spent several hours sifting through when I get bad morale thankfully the skeletons are very chill they're not too worried about it what are we doing with our courier heroes let's just do Sceptiana don't want to waste a move now how far has he come so let's say he gallops back so if I come to here I'm hoping to scare him out of doing that job yeah this makes sense to me and then this is mine too that's already been taken she's been there she's been there yeah this guy feel like he's long way from home he's just like you know what I'm gonna bank my army I've done a good scout I've gotten some stuff to hunt stalls and things I'm getting out I'm getting out while he's getting good smashing grab let's do the hiring now and see the hiring of Nimbus see if he can get in this boat would be good well we want to train him up first don't me okay let's hire him first Nimbus I'm good at eagle eye Nimbus when he was a child he had a small dog that eventually died of old age he discovered by sacrificing a small bird or other creature he could resurrect the pet a feat which he redid repeated time each time of the dog every time it died little did he realize that he was already exploring the beginnings of necromancy oh young Nimbus oh that you should have seen him the other day oh he was sacrificing animals on a little altar and bringing his dog back to life oh it was just so adorable now look at him he's this purple skinned freak run in terror Nimbus Nimbus Nimbus what am I doing with you my man my dog we could go for the temple now but I don't have any money really for this kind of thing hang on you've got to go to your training so let's do something like that go to here come back go to here come back to here come back up to here getting a boat how good is that yeah go do it man yeah I've got another 4k coming tomorrow I think I'm gonna do this and be happy I'm definitely doing this upgrade I'm okay with this yeah see the upgrade is very cheap we'll buy them tomorrow he's actually gonna have a decent little army because he'll have the satyrs as well a bit careful just trying to get tagged by him I think it's okay to come here and wait hmm I'll just have a quick look at the puzzle map again yeah we're still pretty sure that's not in the region where they were digging it's possible it's not possible is it that it's there there's those mountains is that right oh my god they were right they were they were right so they got it you're joking there's a white thingy it's in here man that's huge we think we know where it is they were looking in the wrong place it's in the center of the map right bang in the middle it's right here here it's right here it's on one of these two tiles right so what do we do with that information that's huge I mean I never have enough information at this point in the vanilla game but the way that map reveal works with um one of the abysses you get to see more you know so we can triangulate between that pick that and that it's definitely there that's definitely it it's right there yeah all right let's see what happens up here blue runs home fine green oh that's right I forgot about that green here I meant to have a look at these guys these two okay so right hang on green green green sorry I completely forgot we'd seen that and pink takes the castle oh so much action pink takes the castle these guys run for it okay alagar has the army you have the big army oh teal teal what are you doing now green is returned with idiots okay but they can dig I can't do anything about that I just can't do anything about it I just don't have the forces in the area sadly all right come see what you can find I don't think these are gonna help me there's a hero out here I'm gonna drag him off course at least it's what they give me luck well she's gonna need it if he tracks her down so green have assets out on the water that's interesting old arch nemesis right from the beginning of the game I might have known all right which of you would like to die first is it you uh or actually what is is it in here can I just go and take this day three yeah we want to just kill ooland right and then we can take the rest of these things at our leisure I'm coming in to take over this territory now ooland all right first fight of the night I think it's all been very strategic and logistical hasn't it up until now just rearranging my mouse pad here I want to get psyched I want to get pumped I want to remember everything she can do her latest idea expert teleport can they give a couple of units I'd like to do that with three spell points for teleport I still can't believe that I don't remember it being that cheap ooland oh wow look big complicated fight I don't uh I don't know what this is coming through I'm just gonna crank my music so I can have a nice listen to all the action ooland has 11 spell points his elves act first okay I now know rather a lot of spells forgetfulness is an option no I have the range advantage I'm just gonna take a hit from the elves and then go from there I think yeah yeah yeah what do you want to do magic arrow my halflings okay all right so it's easily this right oh no bad morale I can have bad morale you got is this does this count as a third troop type oh you've got a negative moral what have I got I've just got neutral oh yeah of course I stand here old son um yeah just do your job oh you guys are so dead you shouldn't have done that dear oh dear oh dear poor misguided fool I haven't needed any spells kills 15 to 24 so if I bloodlustered these maybe I don't really need to do anything right I could just save my spell points let's do this key thing is not letting him run off before I'm you know able to animate dead like whatever yeah let's just stay here and do it okay you got my attention he can't be magic arid candy and then he runs off that would be annoying that would be very annoying don't do that to me oh it's slow okay few let's do it 76 here pretty nice now watch this people g g I wonder if these guys are going to survive can't do that in the vanilla game cannot do that in the vanilla game ooland are you gonna commit suicide pal ooland ooland you don't have time I can kill ooland what if I just kill I have three units acting before he acts and two spells can't I just kill you you've only got 300 hp of dudes there that should be enough you've got 300 hp of dudes here you've got about the same there try and do it cheaply I don't think you're going to be able to get away from me now oh the ballista he must have had he must have ballistics or uh oh only hit the cancel button yes applied that result he must have artillery I lost 13 halflings and four spell points enslaved 15 of his corpses and which one would we like to do first while we're here come down and get the box get the crystal or grab the boots I think this is all connected right and I like these shiny boots now with that said I don't know if I'll have the moves left I will so on that basis I'm going to do this fight too so you guys get a bonus fight for the evening a horde of sorceresses now they cast weakness after they attack I think these quite things are quite nasty so I'll be animating my liches back to life yeah this is going to hurt but teleport might be might be important to you let's have a look horde of sorceresses as well yeah they hurt like hell okay apply battle result no look at them look at these ladies okay so shoots and then casts after shot at an advanced level and I believe what she casts here is weakness so they're kind of like liches as hell I like to think of health 35 attack 12 defense 9 is that a fair comparison health 30 attack 13 defense 10 yeah ish right speed six these guys are speed seven they just they do weakness as well this is the upgraded one this is the this is the junior lich so that's how I like to think of them they're both level five um yeah teleport seems amazing here right you just check how this works if I do it on the dreadknights turn it's still that turn yeah it's nice kills four to eight go ahead killed six she yeah look at that what why'd you attack him dreads are taking down some muskelies what is it with you oh surely I can't target a tile at one of my voice is on I can't does that hurt my guys well how's that gonna work then let's check so I'm doing the ground thing right where I can hit any hex I want and I'm gonna be I'm gonna target my own guy it shouldn't hurt him sorry it did apologies mate okay worry not we have some animate deads but we are gonna be wanting to use them on multiple units I don't think we'll need them on the vamps though right because they're gonna do this yeah so do I want to do it yet how many HP does it restore not enough have died yet to get the best out of it it's like 480 something 480 I need yeah I need four to have died the fight only ends when I say it ends kind of thing so I might just save the spell points wait for them to do that thing and then animate yeah do your thing hopefully hit the dreadnights for me so I've got a nice clean stack to yeah that's good that's good that's ideal nice okay can I do that I don't that's not gonna hurt my guy if I do that though I'm gonna test this before I was around yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so the actual central hex is always taking damage from the death cloud regardless of whether you're undead or not um so that's important all right dreadies come back to me oh yeah what a spell what a spell maybe I could wait no I might wait oh the vamps do their thing man so they both have a turn is there any world in which they both die in retaliation don't think so because she's gonna have to shoot once I leave her alone and she'll shoot these right she can't walk from there the AI is not allowed to do the move that we're allowed to do so she did die in retaliation I don't remember how many we had to start with I think we have our whole army back just about yeah none and yeah there it is people oh I really want advanced scholar as well but no no no basic earth magic is in the house we are rocking and rolling and I get the you meet a wanderer in rugs on a shallow path he offers you to exchange your cape for his old boots you agree without much enthusiasm as he disappears over the horizon you realize the advantage of the transaction it's then way fairer's boots my my decent very nice so that's expert pathfinding expert pathfinding I think these are new in uh horn of the abyss not part of the vanilla game cool cool feature cool idea really really nice I get to do this as well and then I come back down to this and grab the stronghold at some point does pink know that I'm here maybe maybe they will fill it up tomorrow with troops this is good stuff though this hasn't been visited by anybody either we can get that just be careful with the vampires right nimbus oh I just realized something I'm mr. nimbus got another reference for anyone who's interested nimbus the best thing you can do mr. nimbus is you don't know animate dead gonna go with power powers worked for me it has it's worked for me come back jump in here time to do that first it could be crystal is anyone else coming back this way I'm doing this grab these idiots who are these guys are they movement for everything's moving forward though right so who cares moving forward speed three oh my god speed three health one I regret that sure that's handy attempted I could run over and grab these I don't know why I'm insisting on nimbus being the explorer like Stig has air magic wisdom she can learn animate dead surely Stig's the she gets to be promoted right she gets to jump in the boat here go be good for all of us now construction here is going to come to a hold I think for a while not about turn they have fly did you guys see that this guy here he flew over the rocks erdemon how did you fly how did he fly over there he must have a scroll of fly or something that character doesn't have wisdom no it doesn't come with it right he's a plane walker oh look at the effect of the stables it's like 50 additional movement I didn't look how far further nimbus can move than Lizzie Stig I mean amazing right hang on let's do the main event first I can do this fight right because um I can reanimate I have the spell points I got there's a mage guild in here I can spend the night after I've taken that town so I think it's okay I don't love it oh see if I can match that there's 75 of them okay it's not too bad it's not too bad oh good all right oh I never absorbed them that was stupid it's a worth animating oh there probably are enough to animate worth animating now what do we think worth it 21 skellies for 15 spell points 12 spell points oh maybe it's worth it but though pussycats in here when they skeletons aren't really becoming a thing especially when you don't manage them probably six cyclops is what am I gonna do with them mirth I guess I can mirth them kill the halflings what's minus one morale they're at not useless can attack city walls I'm not gonna have to why wouldn't pink put something there gotta put something there I want to do this job but this is too important right I can flag this and leave some annoying troops behind the walls and then come back down and finish the jobs that happened to me in my last campaign too like the enemy just leaving the gates open the Hall of Valhalla well Stepgenus certainly the first necromancer they've seen in a long time in the Hall of Valhalla but nonetheless now she knows how to do stuff what do we have here a city hall is decent it's just a fort big mage guild nothing I want though dispel she didn't know I don't think can trade creatures for resources in the Freelancers Guild it's a thousand bucks so you can maybe sell the cyclops although the cyclops go with this quite neatly yeah interesting just trying to sell what I want to do here might pause there and come back tomorrow for the next mini installment but I hope you guys enjoyed those couple of combats good old vampires liches and animate dead there's just nothing like it in the world back the next day here and after just over we're gonna do now with septiana I don't really want her sitting here overnight just in case there's a really big comeuppance coming down this way from pink I think I like the idea of leaving these guys here since they are natives of this town anyway it's a little bit of a little bit of a thing it could be worth it to give them a bit more beef put the citadel in don't hate that idea might instantly regret that but it's only two and a half k get the arrow tower just that's a real nuisance for someone to try to attack that now um the two towers probably have been visited certainly the black one but I think it's worth having look I'd like to see how much a cannon costs um that would be interesting to me in any case there's very little downside with having septiana stand here with what she has left we have nimbus as well we've got about him decode to me actually if you ignore the purpleness he actually looks a bit like mr. nimbus from the tv show what am I doing with you mr. nimbus you can go here I'm gonna save that it might come in handy just gonna give you a really basic army you can start exploring sticking by a new boat come in here you can come maybe down this way I think I'm okay with this should have stopped to the windmill that was a mistake okay I think G you know green has really reasserted itself it's going to be very hard for us to attack green profitably much more interested in trying to find that second acropolis now just reveal a bit of the map see what's out here right pop in here what did he take he took zombies I've got these for you could pop down and quickly grab them I might just do that I'm sailing away you take that I know these things right it's a good rendezvous okay day four I don't want to wait I just want to get moving I think she doesn't do necromancy this girl that's the only problem but she does do animate dead which will be in her spell book now staying the night doesn't help does it no she's already at full happy with that the only question residual question is should we hire a hero here and go running up there with them what if we hire her tyrus or something comes up here comes around here this might not all be connected and I think pink went this way tended to do that right there's stronghold cavaliers with tactics and leadership or logistics artillery and yeah yeah let's get her need some money there mercury up my sleeve how much do I need sorry wrong building this one pire she immediately learns from the whole valhalla very nice now then three two one one pretty decent no one knows her real name but it is rumored that she was once a member of the humanists a foul cult bent on eradicating any non-human inhabitants of arathi only she knows what motivates her to serve the devils of your fault well being a human humanist um and wanting to eradicate all other races um maybe maybe you're in the right place maybe you've um you know you've gone and found a place that you belong um certainly sounds evil doesn't it anyway she's good with a blister so who knows why she wants to serve me and work with all these grotesque green creatures but um I guess the coin is there right 2,500 gold so let's see how she performs is it worth it to drop the imps probably yeah can you tell me what's up here looking here too I've got any money royal griffins are here okay yeah it is kind of connected together oh that's a behemoth craig hello heck yeah how does that work do I have to beat behemoths to hire them there's also a horde of gnolls here guarding something so there's some green pasture up here we could send sienna up this way sienna I keep saying sienna septiana maybe we'll see if pyre gets killed here what is the point of that so he just has flying really angel wing boots maybe that artifact like it just seems so strange and he's flying around okay there's anin we avoided his attention that's great out on the water what could be fun finer the hold is sanctuary not visited I'm guessing there's behold is there it's flotsam there I'll take that tavern okay this is a cool feature out out on the water wouldn't mind popping in there you might get a free it might be the dens guilt thieves den thieves killed den of thieves effect maybe uh where you get full information nimbus what's out there man uh five stone that's not very good what do these guys do sirens I can't remember it doesn't look like I can actually walk on them so huh that's interesting that the games generated that is un ungettable never seen that before pyre is here the next day septiana let's make some easier decisions first we said she was getting in the water I think I stand by that what are you gonna do with your empire I have full visibility at least let's do what we said she could try to summon a boat actually given that how does this work if I try to summon a boat and I'm not standing on the coast I'll just out on the coast anyway I think I'm willing to give this a try a couple of times there are no boats out there okay yeah if you're not a water mage next boat water mage you can't create boats from nothing you need to steal one an empty one so we'll just build one jump in we just check are we happy with this you've got the yeah chest of thinking jumping it's always such a turn guzzler now you know going from boat to non boat and back again nag ash that's been done this week is it safe for him to come do this not really just don't have much for him to do that didn't get done it's not a very good payoff just don't need the stables really should be upgrading these five crappy skeletons in the necro that's probably should we duck my head in the door and done that um how's this gonna go down what do we want to do I think septiana can you tell me firstly what's happening here I lost my halflings it's now an empty and holds nothing of interest I don't have time to come and do all this I need to kind of keep moving higher tell me the story what is up here I'm very interested in that ah there's a portal that's where pink came from I just want to know can I buy these but I have to fight them I can but there's none here all right so I feel like maybe septiana is supposed to stick her head through here I can get to about here she could come to here and defend higher than she could go do this means we are getting this pandora's box and this crystal which is really important yeah she's my misery tell me what I'm dealing with and I'll defend you everything's connected you see okay so there's a central sort of staging area where things join up together okay so I have to kind of come this way now because otherwise um yeah I'm just okay to stand on the portal right okay that's nice there's a pillar of something there okay we're out in there over here now okay right so it's complicated while she's standing there um no one can surprise the stronghold don't think it justifies hiring anybody or building anything does it it's still not clear that we've got this town really so I don't want to invest mega bucks in it I don't want to build anything there today okay that's the cove fellow we saw earlier green not really doing anything okay he's doing something I think I imagine this will be a fight that we can't do the pillar of ours but I kind of want to see what the tavern does no okay I was hoping to get more data it's worth a little pit stop though let's just have a look so orange wow is that Isra Isra very very strong that's what I'm up against with a cover of darkness is it yikes okay there's a couple of those who are falling behind you can see teal is in big trouble yeah blue is really bad blue and red are pretty bad um orange is the best number of towns we're in the top half so having two towns is we've got the most heroes six heroes we're the poorest okay well we're sixth sixth out of eight all right is this kitchen is a lorry speciality is forgetfulness that's interesting right I don't really want to hire any of you what am I gonna try to get done I'm all the way out over here I kind of need to get back to land come this way all right I'll stop in there and just check what that is I imagine it's just a fight I can't do I mean well I'll have an army sailing force great cool observation tower in the middle of the water nice one nice we needed that very very nice we'll back and do that job that I said to do before we don't want these if we don't have to have them and I think I like the idea of Nagash waiting for a horse at the beginning of the week no but then you can't do that hmm what's more important to me no I can go get the horse on day one I'd rather have the three vampires around but forgot about that okay now explorers tell me tell me tell me if I come up here will I die to Evacuous yes if he wants to come see me but if he wants to come see me he's gonna have to deal with my friend let's just get some of this revealed could have given the ballista to Sceptrena come back down there's stuff for her to do here can she get in there no she can't get in there maybe under here she can pit floors look like pit fiends look like they'll die that's an orc tower yeah yeah okay so the best stuff's been done that'll be like that'll be gone okay nimbus what are you up to oh a shipwreck survivor ooh pull a shipwreck survivor from certain death in an unforgiving ocean grateful he rewards you for your act of kindness by giving you the soaking wet amulet of the undertaker uh which as most of us probably are aware increases our necromancy but in the old days it would have been by five percent and in the new days under horn of the abyss it's two and a half percent okay which we have to accept oh which way do I go I'll go for this I want to know what that is shipwreck okay both finding interesting things out there that's good Sceptrena hmm I'd like her to run up under here now and maybe clear that as well thing you can get get this this girl can get ready to buy behemoths seems useful um but on the other hand I really do want to clear that get this yeah I want this I want this more than I want anything else another gaslit tower producing enough light to penetrate boom there it is hey there it is the necro ah sweet there's nothing like scouting none of these armies work together you've got a big mishmash of dudes that don't work together I want that town I want that town I want that mine I want that mine I want everything that's here this all belongs to me now I want to go there warehouse of crystal there you're talking all this belongs to me now this is my this is me I feel like what we could do is lay siege to Merist we could park Sceptrena here prepare for Nagash to reinforce her by running up this way what a pain in the backside for them I like the idea of the besiege I like the idea of the besiege tactic I think that's right even though the stuff that she could be there I'm a bit torn I'm not sure if this is right no way me's no way me's oh no no no no no what right who are you Aenon that's not good so Aenon Green has already been up through all this region here so my sense is Aenon is here for a fight with five birds and phoenixes comes to come up here and take my stuff and now I'm feeling well actually so she could actually come through here right so could Sceptrena come galloping down here to try to save the day is that better than going for it I'm going to think about this I'm going to need to dwell having thought about it okay I've thought about it I think that Aenon I think he's not here for a holiday Green has already been up this way so I think he's turning left he's going to come and challenge us so I think it's better to get Sceptrena down here if he doesn't then we can re-consolidate with fresh troops and then come back and challenge Marist up here for the Necro I just feel like it's easier for me to reinforce than it is for her to get fresh fortress troops probably um and I don't know what the AI will do when I attack if it occurred to me that fighting that really good elite fortress troop there's you know several chaos idris behind the walls is going to be possibly a problem because I'm going to be I'm not going to have enough turns to do all the teleporting and raising dead you're asking an awful lot of six dread knights and 36 vampires really in that scenario so I feel like it's probably better to take the less glamorous route and just get down here if an arian wants to fight this arm oh if an arian wants to fight this army he can and I'm happy with that you know like like that's going to be again a nasty fight but I should be all right um so orb of driving rain gives me plus 50 to my water damage but I don't have any water damage except for yeah so she doesn't know ice bolt so that would be a good thing to have it makes frost ring worse so it makes frost ring a bit meaner it'll do 200 and something damage instead yeah normally I would say yes this time is no different yeah see that's the problem that's the kind of guy they're the guy these are the kind of dudes I'm going to lose because I can't drain their essence I can animate my own dudes back though yeah there's nothing else I want to do casting magic arrows at them is pretty pointless oh look just do something guys it doesn't matter kill as many as possible so these guys are that's tons that's more than I thought um yeah so these guys are a new addition kind of the next thing on from an iron golem but not as good as a diamond or gold golem it's like an in-betweeny kind of golem golem golem any curse a golem it's about you can these guys are running and then the dread knights are just going to stand up here and survive survive this attack yeah okay so a little bit of I love the way they crumbled there so that animation the whole thing of the steel golems just fits so perfectly it looks like it's always been part of the game you'd never know it wasn't part of the original game like all right gimme gimme gimme you come across a chondro who begs to accompany you and your army a while for safety you agree in the officer's payment a strange orb of the elements the orb of driving rain so water so that now does 180 damage for a magic arrow which is nearly as good as a lightning bolt and saves me six spell points so that's something we just need right an arian you see I didn't get very far down there hoping we won't get punished for that hoping we won't get punished we'll see right what do these do beholders sanctuary guarded by a throng of beholders I think I might leave you guys to it maybe I should have checked up there oh what's this second level spell protection from air well okay keep going g who else have I got on the water nimbus what's in the barrel man six merc not bad I might just remind myself what these are pack of whites yeah you're tempted to try that actually let me just check what does he know I'd have to be what spells does he know yes a bit of death ripple won't work I'll be half tempted but like if it's 19 that's gonna be a problem right not gonna be able to kill enough because I think to be said about giving your really junior heroes a little bit of army a little bit more than just a totally notional oh can you be my behemoth lady what's happening on the other side of the portal where is that it's up here it's here isn't it okay so actually pyre can you stick your head through because we do need to try to keep keep an eye out for what's going on that's perfect that's great stand there for tomorrow nagash go and wait here we get we're banking on him not being able to take me take my town so he's got the chest stig you're out on the water let's look at this oh very good okay this first I suppose five or vitamina with a pretty bad army checking things out look at all the snowy tree that's a new feature I think because trees didn't get covered in snow this is a new thing right here the frozen overground entry I don't want to challenge vitamina do I know what's this go here weakness not bad shipwreck I can do that if it's whites like what Nimbus had come here first maybe or I could do this to hook around what do these guys give you luck yeah let's have some luck all right okay in terms of investment for tomorrow I don't know I'm definitely not doing ghost dragons or bone dragons what could I do here cyclops needs an ogre fort ogre forts cost 20 it's a bit expensive mess hall maybe eight extra gobbers a week to go with the 20 so it's still just a citadel I don't think we want to invest in this town just yet it feels like it is ours but could be taken off us again pretty quickly right still not control of that portal or that overground really so I think we'll just bank let's just see what an area wants to do an anane anane how are we supposed to pronounce any of the names in this game I don't know like even pyre how do you play pyre that's probably nimbus is nimbus that's easy naga septiana stig I guess they're not that hard yeah g xi am I just really bad appreciation in general okay green you are wasting your lives what are you doing really that's your objective to just forget that sulfur oh man it's all happening orange pink everywhere I might need to replay the turn and see all that again the last thing we saw was this okay so fafna we'd love to kill fafna we would love to kill him but I'm out of position to do that nane is out of position to do anything what should I do oh man okay let's do the water stuff first um crystal fantastic job nimbus love your work my man yeah do this get these are great this is a brilliant addition to the game um distant lands while at sea that's really good it was a waste of his moves but now I can just plot a traveling salesman thing around to just get all this which is really good it's good that there's all these things out here to fight as well which wasn't the case in the old days in the vanilla game yeah so you're doing this job seems okay a bit of luck I think that's morale I might not bother with that okay so everyone remember next time we're coming out we want to bring soldiers that are good against beholders because there seems to be an awful lot of those beholder sanctuaries tell me about this place like what is here what is that well looking forward to seeing what that thing is right it's day one what are we gonna do see what fafna wants to do we can't do it in one day and then she could make another decision right so let's just do that you get one behemoth for your trouble go here because you haven't done that okay take the artillery um or go to the windmill that appears to be there so let's say fafna changes mind yeah let's go here try to reveal a bit more yeah that's better right so i'm not making purchases in the stronghold today i'm definitely making the purchases i'm supposed to be making here now septiana's skeleton bank is at 88 so she's got two free slots so i could just you know go for skeleton warriors this time here and maybe halflings on the way through still don't have time to do this they're still unupgraded but you can get away with that i think just buying all these right just give me just give me give me give me all right and actually give me this because i'll use it to run around with well i'll probably keep these guys when i no time for pleasantries so i'm gonna have half my moves left here kind of want to stand here is there any case for going for for this i'll stand here then then tomorrow i come galloping down i'll have so many moves it's not funny can easily get to here yeah it's a i think that's a good move the question is is septiana gonna come and try to do this if i stand here he might see me before he starts moving and that would be a problem so i want to stand about here which means i've got time to go here get these little idiots there may be there may be an opportunity to turn our skellies into good skellies so i can cover i can cover that tomorrow right no i can't i'll be there tomorrow so the question is should i stand there and then i will be able to stand i'd be able to stand on this so let's say he gallops off that way or something why would i want to do that the answer is so that i can take the conflux if he's stupid enough to run this way to get bores or something and then go to the witch's hut or some idiotic move so does he have time to go to do that today and then tomorrow i could take your skeletons and take them back to get upgraded i think yes i think yes i bought everything here yep i could upgrade the liches too i think this works see the thing is once you visit the stables it gives you extra moves on top of the fact that it sets you off the deck for the next day how important is it to cover that portal tomorrow so if he's in here i'm fighting him if he's in here i don't need to so i'm just gonna play it safe and stand here i don't really want to fight him today i don't want him to come around to him fight me now i don't think that's gonna happen though all right so meanwhile up over here we don't have to defend this against fafn if we don't want to and we don't have to decide yet pyre can come running back here grab the cyclone and just come running down here might even try and do one of these grab this she can just evacuate and let them have it not ideal yeah all right let's see what they do and they ain't around can i can i get you can i get you to blunder no damn damn damn damn damn can't get them wow that's a worst possible outcome man oh man so i just got the worst of everything there like everything the worst possible moves who are you vittamina you're there how do i know what's in this area can't remember oh that must be from the um look out okay i don't need to worry about you there right i don't need to worry about who that is terrible that is a terrible outcome and now he's there has he see he must have scouted this area that's the only explanation for that all right here's the question can i take the conflux that plus that i think the answer is no it's just too hard i don't have enough i'm not gonna have enough 10 dread knights can't do all this on their own with teleport vampire lords get no regen it's just too hard so we've chased him away whoop did you right let's stay in touch and just go back to plan a damn damn damn damn i can only assume they have the scouting they know what they're doing is that worth going out of my way or should i just keep going this way i might just keep going this way free money let's try to get it all nimbus good work good work so far nimbus stickies stiggles 1500 bucks sometimes in the old game it used to have five grand in it yeah what's here i can kill them yeah this is not a problem oh it's annoying um okay so death ripple won't work this does 74 points of damage which is enough to kill a stack these boys are gonna kill one you can definitely afford some spells here it's not a problem out on the open sea stig breathing in the uh salty air with her undead shambling masses of walking death helps to be lucky in life and in death as we can clearly see these sadas are like this is the worst party in the history of sated them don't want to do that do i need to we get away with it because of the wound's closing you know that yeah these guys are like demons basically right three grand three k decent quite the little kitty from the uh folk out on the water very happy with that now pyre oh dear oh dear pyre come back to pyre we've got a problem they haven't went to fountain of youth what happens when an ancient crone of pure death visits the fountain of youth shall we all find out together okay you drink from the waters and feel young again really as if it was possible for g to feel young again somehow even the fountain is like yeah that's cool sensing your renewed vigor your army's morale improves allow you to cover additional ground as you head to the next battle okay all right there's more evil eyes checking everything out here okay wow that's amazing fountain of youth uh let me come back to pyre she's the hardest problem i don't think we can do this fight an arian has scouted this region you can see what we're doing he knows he knows we know what he's doing it's just not a thing it's not gonna work so what we need is classic old supply chain dynamics we need nagash ready to come back quick and quickly bring the army back to threaten an arian if he tries any funny business he we've got we've got him boxed in here he's got nothing to do with his life he went out on the water for a while you know and then he's like oh i might try and come back maybe they've gone away now and then he's seen septiana run for it i just don't think we've got much choice other than to do that so i want these soldiers today i'd love to do i'd love to set things up with our next hero so that i can upgrade the skeletons and the liches yeah we have to just i think we're going to do that consolidation move so who do we have i'm not necessarily looking for an undead hero um rand lu rand lu is i believe a new well i know is a new hero from uh horn of the abyss he replaces someone who the developers was were unhappy with or the multiplayer community weren't happy with might have been the vampire the skeleton guy probably that or the necromancy maybe there's a necromancy hero anyway there's there's one undead hero who got booted out and replaced by this there's a couple of these around the place there's a castle hero so mulek and others that got killed off and replaced by others um now he has he's got this ballista thing going as well with like pyre has and then there's aid in the heretic he's quite intelligent but his army's no good to me he has wisdom so at least he could learn anime dead rand lu's ballista and his army though i think is going to clinch it for me all right one two three four he's our fifth undead hero so probably don't want any more than that right rand lu tell me about yourself following a dream in his childhood rand lu became an aid at mesley's armory ancient master's gift was no law rather a bite to the neck and a pit in the talon woods undead wasn't fun but rand lu's hands got as crafty as ever soon he was wearing mesley's master blacksmith dydom after running him through with a missile from a self-designed ballista oh right well our friend rand lu here is certainly had a history of his own hasn't he crikey okay i'm not sure i can really trust you rand lu like mesley what happened what did mesley do that made you so made you want to impale him on your ballista because i don't have a very fun life for you here man i'm just using you've run up and down like an idiot okay to me i should have built the tomb of souls yesterday or on day seven and just started to save up and maybe in the late game would have a stack of like 50 especially if we're getting a second necropolis that was a mistake i should have gotten i should have had them working by now um yeah so i think it's the upgraded mausoleum we're building today let's just do this quickly chuck them there for now and if i run to here well let's say here yeah that's a third of my moves that's perfect so if i come to there so i may need step janitor to come up and help a little bit use some of her moves okay with that if it helps me get away faster i'm tempted to just do this with her yeah let's just get back anyway i just wish it wasn't so far out of the way i hope i've got this the right way around step janitor teaches a bunch of stuff but only the basic level stuff give me everything no don't do that here we go do that give me these and give me those i'm gonna go and upgrade them wait there i'll be right back that's all i can do for you i think that works that kind of works doesn't it swap a roo actually i'll take the blister if you don't mind i do mind that's my blister i can be your little army randomly goes back how do i work this out right no i haven't worked it out right anyway upgrade the mausoleum cool little skull goes on top it's so cheap that upgrade isn't that incredible skeletons go to skeleton warriors oh well that's not actually too bad that's not too bad except yeah let's swap armies randomly you're gonna be the guy carrying that chest around now i think here you go my queen your army you will be well rewarded for this oh and this thing do you want this i do not know what this contraption does nevertheless i should take it so the army is looking better if merist looks the same as she did before i'm happy but this surely isn't right that i'm supposed to go up and get this and waste a whole two days i'm mucking around don't have time for this no not really i don't think no taglines playing up here sorry oh this is long ago trodden paths i'm gonna go and try and make a headache for merist now so that's him that's them oh randomly how did you still have 21 skeleton warriors after all that i tried so hard to make that work well i could get yeah i could get you the 21 i could get them to you i suppose nothing else well am i i might follow in your footsteps get up into here what's pyre doing we've got 10 grand so we could say to fafna look faf so i think i'm gonna do it i don't have much else to it's day two and i've got 10 grand i don't have much else to spend my money on i think the reason i can do this is the extra bonus cash that came out on the water i'm gonna give this a try which means i have a little bit of time to uh just do get a couple of quick scouts off here so we want to just check yeah she's spending the night she's gonna die behind the walls but that's okay i can't get to the window i'm not gonna tempt fate here i probably could tempt fate a little bit here okay that uses 100 i'll have 200 remaining it says i can do it so i'm gonna do it trust the numbers trust the numbers all right fafna if you want this i'm gonna make you pay for it okay castle is up escape tunnel would have been good is there an escape tunnel hasn't been built no no all right i'm probably not gonna have enough money for everything the thing i want most is probably these i guess orcs are okay i don't know how much hp do these things have what do i do right click health 10 for 100 bucks each health five for 40 bucks each so these are better value for money in terms of meat only 1200 i'm gonna go ahead and buy them trade off the mercury it's fine for now it's okay it's not a great price but it's all right one left i'll just buy them go on that's it that's all i need okay i've got too many trip types missed that yeah we'll do that i think i'm happy with this layout i mean when she's not gonna live she's never bought a spell book before how many spell points do you have love just 10 so she could learn two magic arrows one lightning bolt it's just not worth it right doing a bunch more training she does no dispel yeah this is okay all right fafna bring it forth red blue tan green green you've got no ideas left that's your problem yeah just get back in the boat and go away if you're not gonna fight me in the open just go sail around and waste your life all right so this is on let's not apply the battle result okay um i didn't get to choose it just put me behind the walls and killed everything that was behind i was trying to remember how that that works um so that's an important thing to remember in any case it doesn't make any difference because i would have um still done the same configuration now what have we got in sorry i mean we still would have got rid of the imps yeah let's do what the ai would do let's do what the ai would do do this for the first time and um we'll go for these guys the next day okay that stinks but again expert ballistics right who can get through you can't get there you can't get there no you can't do it so i could put a bird here and just then the nagers get to do the thing why would i let that happen he could haste i suppose which would be annoying if he hasted a dude in through here yeah but let's force him to do that yeah so he doesn't have he's gonna do it i think he would have cast haste if he could have been okay who's gonna die first to the nagers maybe this guy i'd like to keep him handy but i don't want to get away so one two three four five dogs stand there why don't you come to here so that turn one um turn one gate opening is just means that we're utterly utterly crushed there's just no hope for us oh i'm gonna kill them okay okay you come to here wow they killed two that's pretty good okay so fafna's got some form all right okay i see you i see what you're doing there the orcs aren't in danger yet i can't see behind that hex can you get there can you get to that hex oh i'll have to count nine one two three four five six seven i think you can yes you can't get to the one that's next to it so i'll go here and now these guys are probably a bit more of a priority then again if i'm trying to inflict as much of a headache on him for the future no there's no good yeah there's just no good place to go wow they all died jesus all right hey thought we were bros expert haste all right fafna you okay well you've done pretty good i'm actually pretty impressed right yeah so just kill a few more of these guys for me see attack 13 is what is very very strong as well i'm i think i'm okay with this i think it was worth the five ten grand to kill to kill that many soldiers it was not worth it at all i think that was a mistake it does stop him buying those soldiers though um and developing further like he's just got fafna that's that's his asset in the area do i know that area oh this is interesting i might just do a little scouting before i decide to land in this strange world yeah pyre abandoned my cause so that's the end of that okay i think that was a mistake to try to oh there's nothing to try to hold there sticky worth having to look up through here might be there's not much else for me to do all the way up through here is there okay what else so septiana missing 20 skelies but actually i think maybe we could use these for a bit more navigation let's let's do this first so decent come on jets and keep it up love it nimbus you're doing well for me man you're doing very well for me very happy with you okay do we want to give her this i think the answer is yes because i've got time right i can pop down under here i've got time i've got time yeah it's because is it because i couldn't see the two oh man i couldn't see the little two there that's why that happened come on all right well he's got to go study the arts of magic anyway randomly do that on the way and then go to the well on the way yes yes yes that's right start with power and do that hit the thing you come back that's good oh nag wait a second i have something for you oh this just pleases me nagash right come on septiana we need a big win we need you to crush tan and then carry on kill fafna fun question which way i've forgotten which way it is it's this way isn't it surely it's this way it's this way yeah yeah that's right i'd love to do that we're serious there's undead guarding it not the fortress that could be very good if you can't get back in time that could be very good for us nagash if you come with me we can anticipate what's going to happen we're actually going to do that that's worth doing ten or yeah lost the stronghold and we lost all the money that we made out on the water but we killed a few of these guys oh it's just okay right it's not very good it's not very good okay i'm not spending anything can't really high up higher let's see what happens here let's see what tan can do to defend doesn't look like much an arian you're a moron orange yeah that's just a bit of me no mucking around no that's a bit of me there don't care about any of this this is fine by the way do you guys want to fight each other great aligars here hopefully you to stare each other down yeah look at that he's hiding okay nice that's fine septiana looks like the town's ours okay lessen cover of darkness well we just do this there should be an easy fight doesn't look like there's any hero here i don't have visions yeah there's not even a defending hero here okay so we've caught merest off step never upset a great night go for them i guess we don't there's no point doing the ground attack thing because see how it doesn't work the peripheral part doesn't work see if we they want to do anything do you guys want to do anything how fucking you mean eight one two three four i could have teleported him i guess or him okay so i can get to you now with one of them so i think i will teleport the zombies and just go for the litchies so zombies are a good stack to um plan to animate dead on like if they can just soak up a bunch of damage this seems fine so this stack and the zombies are the two that are struggling what is their problem they've got weakness okay let's do this first then this i think i kind of want to start animating now that's just fantastic that just means both stacks a nice easy time of things yeah see that's a risk he's down to 20 hp and that doesn't come back so if the whites attack the vampire lord i'm gonna be really sad probably are though right why would they attack anything else damn i lost two that's so annoying killed quite a lot here if i do that the turn ends damn two vampires for 12 spell points but it's not just that either i need i need to raise back zombies and i've lost far too many off to not animate so i know i'm doing that teleporting zombies seem good they seem stronger than i remember the vamps are here anyway yeah and then i can choose to end the game next time i'm probably letting the two zombies go right because yeah well at least they're hitting the right stack for me that's good if they if they'd hit the vamps that would be really bad i'm just gonna let them go i'm gonna let them go i'm not gonna overthink it i don't want to spend a whole night here and waste it's not waste but i can't guarantee that i'm gonna get to spend the 12 spell points on the vamp lords and have nothing else go wrong so that's not happy not happy about that but anyway advanced earth or advanced logistics both are fantastic well illicitics is half as good as i'm used to so if i bit's close i'll go for the and that's super annoying these guys come back as basic skellies but i couldn't be in a better place to sort that out so let's have a look oh is that a fifth level mage guild let's have a look meet your shower great great and clone is awesome for us we can clone the liches we can clone the vampire lords and then sacrifice sadly like i've said in another video i don't know how to use that spell i just don't know how to do it um i've got anime dead i'm not going to be raising anyone up with sacrifice instead research is underway and the current spell is dispel so this is this research thing so the ai knows how to use the research cool i love that oh i just saw it in the corner there it is there it is the very last thing she needs down here is slow and then if this was implosion we'd be we'd be very very happy but this is huge getting blind is massive that's excellent septiana very very happy now there are no dudes to buy here and and we don't know where merest is so we're going to want to resk out this area um okay let's come back to this problem let's go out to the water first see what uh nimbus can do for us this guy's just been printing value legend i love you nimbus ran lu was gonna do this oh hang on sorry i meant to get the knowledge and then fill up at the well i got the spell power instead i don't want to learn archery he's the one with the chest yeah well you may as well do this job now okay stigs out on the water do i want to just land here and have a walk around it seems okay i'll probably get killed by somebody but tromping through this terrain with zombies isn't very good i might just stay in the water well well well tan is here this is their home base so get off the coast will you please they don't like us all right so how did you connect all the way down to here how did that happen these warriors okay well then do this while we're looking around and just start looking around now with both heroes just come down start exploring man if you get killed by merest that's okay i need this area scouted i will go this way you come this way uh huh okay i forgot that that was there yeah if she comes back and jumps behind the walls again that is gonna be really annoying but i can't do much about it it's just gotta be can she go there she can't actually go there so that's where are you wherever she is she's a long way from here unless she's in down here but she could be i don't know oh i don't know so they've got gray unearthed upgrade no hang on i'm in the wrong place wrong place this one should i upgrade the graveyard so that yeah oh i should have been doing that too yeah let's just do this right definitely there's just no doubt that that's a good investment we're really in no man's land in terms of scouting because of the stupid cover of darkness i don't know where merest is if she's sitting here laughing waiting to come in and hide behind the walls i'm gonna be really mad i'm gonna be disappointed it's perhaps the way i would characterize it he never went there yeah that was right there was noles up there or gremlins i remember doing that there's something there the problem is the town's not very well developed i was hoping it would be stronger than this i'm gonna need to try to set of build a campaign where i defend both towns get a supply chain going between them and then try to take the conflux everything from this town gets fed back to the base to be upgraded but walking dead will not be yeah i'm definitely upgrading that graveyard okay i don't know if i've spoken to you guys about the template something worth mentioning you might all be thinking if i only had had town portal let's go back and check the previous video episodes or whatever of the campaign if i've explained it yet the this map for this template for horn of the abyss i have switched off town portal because i'm challenging myself to not play an end game where i'm just town pordling around everywhere like seph jenna just town pordling all over the place and killing everybody so i switched it off which means i can't learn it i don't know what happens if you find the tome of earth magic i'm not sure how that works or us but i think there's no such thing as a scroll of town portal and you can't it won't show up in the mage guilds and then um i've also switched off eagle eye and diplomacy so even though i've switched off eagle eye heroes that naturally have it will still have it but you can't learn it and then it's the same with diplomacy so you can't even in the templates ban the hero like i could have deleted an inverse from the pool of heroes as well this is the power of horn of the abyss the editor the template editor just gives so much um so much utility all right quick look at what green's up to he's off in a boat somewhere again mucking around wasting time which is great that's exactly where we want him all right let's see what's going on on of can we defend this what where is marist she hasn't shown her face okay green really is treading water they're going nowhere orange orange seems to be like it's the best i'd love you to you to fight each other is it too much to ask obviously yes g keep exploring let's just have a scout here see what you can find out for me about their town oh that's right if you get too close to the coast it does that uh oh there's marist hello my darling well if you're out there 10 to 19 so there's a pack of chaos hydras now lots of mighty gorgons she is looking pretty formidable the safest thing i can do is actually land here you can't fight me and uh just run you around the wrong way scout your base that's fantastic news she's so out of position she's profoundly out of position that's really really good so right i kind of feel like i should have hired another hero here immediately i'm an idiot for not doing that could have been out today running around doing stuff i guess this is the man this fellow aiden comes running down here let's just check out what's upstairs first all right let's just get some scouts we need these scouts we need to expand our frontage of our knowledge how many skills do you have you don't even have any why just do this for your own good i love ballistics i can't say no to it oh that connects there okay what's that thing there a trading post that could be good get some crystal mineral spring i don't know what that does this could just be a neutral area well i hire aiden so septiana really i'd love to come here next with her if it's safe which i think it is now we've marised your way out of position babe how do i get to that port although it's here ish okay what is that thing sea is hot yeah i think she's come the wrong way yeah i was hoping i can connect up to it through there but i don't think i can so come back down um i'm just gonna hire him and he can just start running around see what you can find out man no you don't take all these with you take them have that army sniff that other dogs but do this and now i'm doing that there's no way i'm dragging walking dead all the way back to my other right just come on let's be sensible at least yeah okay i'd love to get this do i get this stay five i think this is safe the next the next closest thing is you go up around here there's an orange portal here back to fafna but he's got to worry about this guy both of these are killable with septiana so green we can just keep green off our backs dude look at that demon's horseshoe oh i can imagine what it does negative luck yeah is a thing in this game now just so cool yeah cool i love negative luck i like that i love the idea that they fixed that properly right nimbus nimbus nimbus give me stuff come to here get this oh there's nothing in the flotsam right i think dinner is calling so i'll be back ups and downs lost a stronghold gained a necro might be able to hold it Marist out of position good news for us
