 I need to lift this fog, I gotta figure out the best way to do that. So he obviously ran up this way but didn't bother, you can't run through there, there's no way through, you have to kill the imps. And there's a scroll, I think we kill the imps but don't get the stockpile. Is the stockpile the actual dwelling or is it the thing where they're guarding treasure like for example this thing here? These guys are guarding a bunch of wyverns. I think the stockpile is where they are just guarding stuff. Where did Solmy go? He must have come back down and around this way. To clear I could also give her the army and we could get the bowstring, in any case she's coming up this way and maybe let a weaker hero just clear this stuff out or a hero with weaker stuff than the army itself. I think I'm happy to do that. That's him, that's Solmy right there, it's his legs. That was extremely unlucky that we didn't see him on the wall, oh no will ya. That's where he's moved. So Isra, Isra why was that not set to sunshine? So Isra is a wall a while away. Which means, I'm trying to remember what he had. He had mages, obsidian gargoyles, chain lightning obviously, he had a few naga's. So what am I going to do now, oh actually I could town portal. Can I? Do you need movement points? Looks like she can town portal. The leskin can town portal to here. I have to hope that the three individual harpies is enough to stop her from too tired. She's too tired. Try again tomorrow. That was a big waste of analysis, but never mind. Alright we'll see what he does then. I think plan here was to come down here, view air, sort of useful. Alomar's going to get ready to sit there with the loins, don't think there's a case for changing that at the moment. Alright I'm not buying anything this week, I'm still working towards capital I think, but I might buy creep, I mean I'm obviously I might buy an army when the time comes, don't worry about that when the thingy happens, so what are you doing, here it comes. Oh! Saw me as spell points, one of fifty, look at his stats! Attack two, defense five? Bro! What happened to you? Is it just me or was this an incredibly foolish decision on his part? I even have the first turn, how's that, have they already waited? The obsidian gargoyles pause, what I thought would happen is on the obsidian gargoyles turn, half of these would die to chain lightning, but he's shown up with no spell points, he's exhausted from his journeys, I think he's lost troops, he was nowhere near, he had way more than this before, why isn't he trying to run down and link up with Isra, it's a really bad fight for him, he would have seen, well maybe he saw that I'm, maybe he thinks he can win, just wow, do I even need any magic, how do I maximise here? Obviously you can wait, they're only ranged units, is this guy speed five? That sounds like fun, just blinding those things and shooting everything else, you can't do anything about it, is this a waste of spell points, it's not because it's not one spell point, I can just wait, wait everywhere, wait, wait, all of my units are ranged except for the pixies, I thought there was a hundred and forty four, there's only forty four, I feel like shooting the fastest thing, pile into the unicorn, I don't even know if it's your forty two damage twice over, what happened there, I did forty two and then twenty three, it did double damage and then this thing, what did the tent do, took twenty four back off again, let's just keep shooting them until they kill one, I can hit the naga so I will hit the naga, zap, I'm going to walk into sprite range, yeah you are, good lad, I'm going to deal two hundred and some damage so that will just murder them outright, I feel like the sprites are going to do that much though, they're going to kill the unicorns easily, I don't need to kill the gremlins yet though, I might go for just, why don't you go for these guys, get rid of them, the sprites are going to kill you, okay right, so why don't you do this, should be the end of them, now if I'm tricky, I might be able to trap solmia, logic is if I can kill both of these units, I might be able to catch solmia and kill them and have him abandon their cause, shoot the stone golems for about 80 something damage, it's just okay, so maybe you can aim for this, grand elves alright, you guys go for that guy, come on, hurt him, still alive, oh why didn't you flee, missed that, missed that he would get a turn, so come right on up here, I think I have to do nothing, now on this next turn, is where we hit these guys, speed five, speed six, so these guys will shoot first, oh we've got a good chance here, I could bless but let's just see, oh she killed tons of them, can we just go for this, I think we can right even if I'm wrong, that was, I don't know why the AI chose to attack, I really don't, I think maybe the AI doesn't take account of spell points enough in making its decision, it's something like that, it thought that it had you know 50 spell, 50 spell, I don't know why it didn't just run past me to try and consolidate, but then again, yeah I'll take it, see what happens when you trap and kill a hero as opposed to him fleeing, he really should have fled as well though, so there's two really bad mistakes the AI made there, he should have fled when he had the chance with the single gargoyle that was still alive, and he obviously should never have tried to find me in the first place, collar of conjuring, oh we have the combo, the questry in his gloves is excellent, I don't know what that does, that's plus two defense or something and I don't know what that does, oh man, logistics is spectacular, I can just never say no to it, yeah Idra what are you gonna do now Idra, that's that's an epic victory, one that I didn't see coming, one that we probably didn't deserve, they've doubled down now, okay, wow I am can't fully explain what we just saw there, let's have a look what we've got, we've got logistics helping gloves that make it even better, plus two, plus three defense, sacrifice, I haven't ever played with sacrifice so at least not effectively, this item increases the duration of all your spells by one, this one makes me immune to curse, okay, so the idea is we're going to combine the collar, the cape and the ring which is currently being worn by this guy into a mega artifact somehow when we eventually meet each other, so now that we've beaten Solmyr we get the spoils and the spoils are whatever he hasn't taken up here as well as all this area here, I want this unicorn string main thing and I want labita to be back up here with me and I want to unfog this area so I want all of that to happen, so get your butt back up here might do that tomorrow we'll just do some fog work here I think to start with and that was unicorns? Anyone? Anyone for unicorns? What have I got? I got some money I could buy some unicorns oh look at that, oh a throng of marksman is going to hurt my cow, all right that gives us a good bit of warning because even though there's no access through here right so if we see it here over here we're going to be able to deal with it, so I think I'll send her back again with the army labita, I kind of feel like I want to give labita enough troops to deal with whatever might be in here and obviously now we're willing to invest big time down here this is the obvious investment, such good value 15, what did I pay? 10 wood and 1500 to get these guys online awesome yeah so her to here we go boom boom could get the dendroids as well the AI was really really bad there and what I've decided to do sometimes it makes ingenious moves and sometimes you're there just going why did you do that lots of normal orders I'm sure we have second thoughts now what can I do against lots of normal orders with tons of spell points sit back and shoot them and I spot them to death sounds good what does that do what's that scroll do oh you guys can't see behind my camera how's my hair there's this little scroll does it mean show log okay that just lifts up and shows the log all right what happens do I kill watch I'll lose one now so bang so how much damage can I do for these deal 24 ish I don't think the single swing they make is going to matter so I kill this now he comes up and knocks me down he walks up to here no I'm gonna need to spend some spell points here sadly um about six 48 hit points a magic arrow will be enough to burn to pour salt in all it's easy still sticking to my guns on this I could possibly hire another hero because we're really stretched now I'm keeping track of 10 what's he up to so these guys are angry but they're just running back and forth so Gala needs to keep an eye on over there okay it looks like he's got me if he wants me he's got me you might have to stay down here can he summon boat look at this how cheeky is this that's a different boat I thought it would summon this boat I'm just jumping this boat that's awesome oh I can't really go anywhere though in my boat I can stay away from either though for a while at least what else can I do once he's gone I could come back up here jump over here summon another boat get back to base no word from our friends bowstring okay she taught her cure okay that's fine um go and and I think we need some more default troops than that just just as a just as a slight hedge take all the stuff I'll wait here for you lots of orcs they're probably just gonna vanish I think I don't think I need to yeah I think they're just dead aren't they well I have movement six and you have movement four so if I kill you movement four movement four oh hang on I can see the order down here yeah so I'm gonna do something I need to do it now 110 damage so I'm likely to kill him right no okay I'm still not gonna kill him all right this feels stupid but whatever I just spell points are just ah and I lost the spell points unless he's gonna be furious an ensnared unicorn whinnies in fright murmuring soothing words you set her free snorting and stabbing her front hoof points she gallops off looking down you see that she's dropped what appears to be a finely crafted bowstring increases your archery skill by 10% okay does sound relevant doesn't it really annoyed about those four sprites died needlessly we're gonna assume that that's been visited by soul mere seems okay that the list of interaction wow how many died there these guys killed six of them they're vulnerable to water rampart um let's just do a few things we know we are definitely going to do such as day six well I'm gonna do that I can do that next week the main thing is getting as many elves as possible that's probably what I'm supposed to do actually yep there it is look at that only extra bit added okay well we're poor but not for long that's gonna make a really big difference I think now's the right time to invest in that once we've humbled blue we're not getting harassed except maybe by tan but he's stuck in the swamp and he's not that strong a week's worth of my guys you know you know will be enough to dissuade him I think okay alamar still waiting around that's okay these guys don't know what to do with themselves day seven so I could stay here and wait for another round of dendroids could gallop around here and give you the army I think that's slightly better in case the leska finds something to fight over here all right you take all the stuff at some point we're gonna have to divvy all this up properly so where does this go here increases your archery skill does that mean it goes to 60% swap armies except keep those slow pokes um keep them as well because we're gonna be upgrading them in town hopefully so I might be the one who knows town portal fireball doesn't matter really so off you go I know what did I say I wanted to do the stockpile well let me do this first wish I could destroy some out of some things because that's just gonna float around like a nuisance um I could go up here and I could take them on this stockpile on I think it's okay to wait now though it's already month two we could wait until we have another week's worth of troops I want to see what this is a horde of queens yes well boring okay so we're gonna want to take advantage of the do I need to recruit these guys as soon as possible I don't think I can quite afford the citadel yet I'm gonna need that two and a half grand tomorrow so are you enable oh I can pop around here and around this use the wishing well he's got intelligence so he'll go up to a million spell points alamar's got the loins conflux is drying up in terms of attractiveness so how much more I want to invest here when I could go for the rampart really pile into the rampart too grand to get these online I want to kind of go all in on for leska's archery and that means elves um maybe I shouldn't have tried to buy unicorns maybe I shouldn't be worrying too much about dendroids either that might might have been a waste of money it's just it seems wrong not to take advantage of free dwellings which they're angry here comes isra oh oh dear oh we have a green hero hello gala might need to be defeated and flee back to my hometown so desa desa school I used him in the last video I did um playing stronghold not very big army did I ever see me does he is is it me he wants or is he what's he up to so I'm minded to land my guy here and then this guy can't get to me and then I could run over here some of the escape I don't think these resources don't matter right now so I don't think he can fight me from his boat I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I can't do that is this iris iona iona with lots of gargoyles isn't very scary what is blue doing now that it's suffered those silly defeats um another prisoner there after design what I'm doing with that if it's money or which thing do I decide first I want to do this as well to link up with him should I hold fire don't really need to recruit yet do I so this has happened the the lines of tree all right I'm gonna go with this plan I don't know if I love it all right let's see who we're hiring fear is a level one planeswalker he's not much to look at is he I mean whoever I'm hiring is mainly a messenger beholders oh this guy's cool I love agit yeah agit the overlord um his special is useless leadership doesn't work uh on elementals so sadly agit has to stay home so I feel yeah just do this now because otherwise I'll get annoyed um does he have a spell book gotta be bothered buying him one yes who ain't one right yet though really I say that and then I change my mind like that he knows everything right so he knows all the stuff that's there yeah up to level two all right fear well we might as well learn something about your fear tell us about yourself you're young fear is young and his battle prowess untried great just who I want to join my army but he has a ferociousness like no other oh good it is believed he will become one of the most powerful heroes of the complex believe by who or whom I don't think it's believed by me we shall see right take from the warlock well learn from him first yes learn take the loins no wait I'm keeping the loins give me the loins keep those soldiers I'm taking the loins with me I'll see you later I hope Iona doesn't crush Alomar in combat I hope that doesn't end up happening all right we'll see what she does I don't know if blue's being this far down actually so she might not see me um this fellow's job is to go up here so we've spent all our money down here there's no money left for the elves but I actually think I'm okay with that because there's no urgency in this part of the world the elves that are here are here they're waiting to be hired and upgraded so if that takes an extra day big deal her next character level let's see where do I put this mouse here here we are all right another 800 points for a level I'll just take the money I take the experience this is such a waste of my good hero to be clearing this area but we give them a break get out of here I know that's not optimal oh a library of enlightenment right I think the way the library works is level 10 heroes and above are allowed to visit it and get massively buffed so that's both of these that's really good what level are you some level five Nabilia I'd rather oh hang on that's a horde of Medusa queens okay so still gonna be mucking about back and forth when she ever gonna get over there she's not going to right so I don't think it matters too much I'm probably overthinking it as usual now oh oh no we're being challenged ah jeez how many movement points does he have oh tan is landing on blue's shores okay I can get down and engage you Isra you fool can I she doesn't have the equestrian's gloves the other guy look can't get to her Isra the gloves don't work if you don't give them you've got to have them at the start of your turn all right Isra a horde lots lots I'm steeper better army than the one I beat but it's still not incredible um so I think that Medusa's all have to wait can there be to go and hide the elves no can stop okay can body block this is awkward how do we stop Isra from just coming back money this guy so you've landed it's pretty scary fair blue couldn't see what this is there's time not under any particular I better do this first actually sorry this is just something we have to do um because I want that wishing well um billion spell points to spend worth it navigations no good on this map I don't think can I be bothered better me than someone else I'm just doing the things that are easy where's I am I gotta kill her don't want to split my forces is that the best you got I have resurrection okay I can cast weakness they don't like weakness I could cast slow but slow probably won't work good body block with the harpies I'm not I'm now I'm worried she's already cast a spell okay uh 110 sticks and isn't it alamaro is a good mage it's decent power levels I don't think that basic resurrection gets me my girls back again so this deals 110 that's that's a lot of dead cargo I'll so I think we just do this he's not gonna be able to resurrect them yeah that's good I can also use a harpy to take retaliation go harpy's go that's silly very silly AI is making some questionable questionable decisions okay so that's I own it down I can just come what's the fastest way to help you guys get to the road okay oh hang on no I thought that was me that's Israel so Israel could maybe get to me here after I made that mistake and oh dear embarrassing all right I've dealt with the easy decisions now are you an easy decision judges okay all right we're not ready to spend this money and leave so what are we doing with our two main heroes we could do the library and then both be standing here looking like idiots as Israel takes the elves and gets behind the walls and builds citadel with these troops seems kind of bad um there is another option which is okay town portal the beef that could town portal into here build a citadel upgrade the grand elves but buy and upgrade all the elves and make them grand elves after Valeska opens up the library that's got to be it right Valeska does the fight why did I come and talk to you first I don't need you I'm not going to use these against the Medusa's yes but I don't have enough spell points I've only got 19 so I don't think that's blind once against the Medusa queens Lebeda town portaling back she doesn't need to she can just gallop back I think it is I think Valeska is hiding while Lebeda protects the rampart and Israel decides what to do if Israel stays here in this area I come out and kill her with Lebeda and she'll have the equestrian's gloves which I didn't give but yeah I haven't yeah that's all right take this as well I'll keep that take all the things I guess you can have the ballista what did that do to messed up our blind actually before so keep it keep the blister blister behind yeah I think this is okay we've got the just get out of here and then that way if she does get approached we can just town portal out of the way Mitra can't get anywhere near here so say here and you're here just be safe Lebeda back to base spend your money can't do Citadel and Grand Elves I'm obviously hiring these so I can either have upgrade these to Grand Elves or have a Citadel I think actually it's the Citadel and then upgrade them tomorrow just can't do it can't do it all right what do you want to do Israel I've built my whole turn around you this better be good yeah that's what I thought that's what I thought you've seen tan and you're gonna go and worry about tan so precious off again so this question of the Medusa cleanses back on the table um let's do what we said we were going to do here boom 550 to do that bargain these guys are useless until I can upgrade them so I'm just going to slow me down yeah let's do this just grab some experience here quickly I've got the hourglass thing but that could maybe just belong to somebody else I know I should take this one I know I should take this but I like luck I want to be lucky so for the same reason I let the sprites live earlier or the pixies I'm gonna take luck just to be different okay give me everything you keep town portal I will be keeping the hourglass from now on obviously um voted most likely to meet Alomar this guy this girl got all these cool artifacts blind we want it to last as long as possible give me the army 20 spell points turn one blind please don't be split into seven little groups and be like 90 medusas um if I was any good at fire magic are we happy are we doing this is this is the suicidal that that a hoard is like 50 to 100 so this is deep they have movement seven that's very bad so bad that's the worst it's probably gonna end up being blind bless bless is it I don't think it matters which one I go for it's gonna hurt like hell how many 19 kill first okay so I'm guessing pixies over here can go got attack 14 versus defense 11 it's gonna deal about 200 ish on damage that's the lion's share of that got the ballista to come I'll do one more and then wow the ballista is great did it do double damage at all it did double damage both times this is okay grand elves are coming up we have to figure out how we're gonna blind when when we're gonna unblind them what no I had elves coming up did I misread that how many more did I lose eight more died that was a mistake I think hopefully blind is still gonna last for ages more longer but I think hopefully I can save the rest oh eight died needlessly movement seven so if I'm not careful they could walk around here and melee the elves that'd be wonderful wouldn't it with just a slow does that work slow and then all my guys attack and she's just dead I could wait I got the ballista as well I'm just gonna go for it here so she's got movement five so she goes after everyone how good is novice slow so eight of those would died needlessly for a mistake either I made a mistake or the order of battle thing got mixed up
