 So what I'm thinking here is I build the stupid altar of earth by an upgrade everything tomorrow. It means thinking he's in the water for an extra day that she needs to be. She has to just sit there for a day. The alternative is to hire a hero to get in a boat today, jolly. And then there's this question here getting her going. We don't really want to waste her time either. I feel like actually this theory that this is a thing up here that goes on is worth worrying about, is worth hedging and being scared of. Yeah so I'm feeling like maybe Alomar comes back with the loins and we wait a day here to really trigger all this and get these people moving. Because if you think about it we want to be waiting outside here as well. Yeah let's just, we're just gonna be a bit conservative up here. Here are the loins, right. Feleska waits for these and this guy doesn't do anything crazy. He just gets himself back down here which re-consolidates in that area. We don't worry too much about the loss of momentum. Meanwhile up here we could buy the earth elementals. What does it cost? Upgrades, sorry. Let me check. Okay here we go. Right, right, right. So we're on 16k tomorrow. Goes down to 14. The elementals themselves cost money. This costs 11. There's not enough money for us to build the altar, upgrade it tomorrow and buy everything. Which means that an alternative to all this is to let her go now and get started and then he can summon a boat. He can try again to summon a boat. Oh I could buy one. I don't really want to have to buy one. We just dump what we've got here. Worry about them later. That's probably a system. Okay so there it is. Five solvers not a problem. It's a doddle to upgrade. Yeah so you're gonna wait here. You're gonna bring, we're not buying these or these and we're not buying any earth elementals at all. We're gonna spend all our money on the troops she already has. Then she's gonna land, she's gonna beat these nagers, go underground and do all the stuff that looks like it's down here. Yeah, I think it's alright. Tan does some stuff. Green goes here. Orange just turns in very short. So I don't know maybe they're already dead. We're focusing here so the rampart crew are going to have a whole turn off to facilitate this on these. Obviously I want these. So there's only 3k left in the coffer. 3k would let Veleska buy the Elms, give them to the Warlock and then start the movement which is good for her. She could pick the unicorns up on the way or she could stand outside the unicorn thing with 3,000 bucks. Seems good, right? So there's 13 of these guys waiting for us now and that'll then become like 20 magma elementals which is beef. Like that's enough beef to be beefy. So we're gonna give you this and then I'm going to wait until I've got enough money to do that. Bring them back up, stop here. Yeah, seems fine. So the beef, just even things out a little bit. Loose formation. Alright, well she's gonna make waves this girl. I'll tell you that much. Dessa might try and take on the Naga's actually and try and beat me down there. We'll see. See what he wants to do. I'm quite happy to fight him. I'm always tempted to put the shackles on in case he's stupid enough to attack me. Would he be stupid enough to attack me? Surely not. Like I'm gonna annihilate you Dessa. Doesn't know how good I am at casting spells. He doesn't know my attack and defense and all that. No, he won't fight me. He won't fight me. He's gonna run for it. He's gonna come down here or something. I don't want to put the shackles on in case someone comes flying down here and just ends my run. Alright. Elves. Would I? Yes, definitely. Now that should have beefed up that. That would have been 12. Loins of Legion, additional four. How good is that? Take these guys. Give me them and give me that. I'll be back to you really soon with more Elves. I'll go to here. I'm not gonna be able to buy them though. How far can I get to here? Gela could do this job. Do you know Scholar? You can't teach him anything? No. Take the stuff. I'll have the harpies. You keep moving. Wait here for the Unicorns. So Alomar's either gonna go get the dendroids or... I don't think so though, right? We're just gonna buy the elves, upgrade the other elves and then that's it. Okay, so that's that. These guys need to start just not being part of the game. We're building up actually some centaurs and dwarfs as well. It could be relevant. Anyway, we're waiting here till next turn and I'm gonna come around and bring you even more elves. Alright, what's gonna happen? Green Dessa? What's it gonna be? Oh, tan and blue are fighting? What did I call it? Or did I call it? Yeah, can or possibly stand against me. I really, really want that back but I got 71 Sulfur and blue. Oh my god. Well, can I not get to this just by galloping down here? Oh, it's because of the Nagas. Okay. A pack of Nagas. Worth it? Deadly. They are deadly. No enemy retaliation on either of them. 110 hit points each. 16 and 13. I am 12 and 13. 19, 20 though. I'm here much, much more. Yeah. So, morale is a real scary one. Best way around it isn't sorrow though, it's to just do this. Because even if morale happens she's still slower than she would have been. She's still one hex slow. Slow is so good at expert level because look how heavy that's hit them. They've got three moves and it hits both units. So we are, there's no point waiting because she's not even gonna walk into range on turn one. Yeah, there's no logic to holding fire as we're gonna shoot. Wow, that's pretty good damage. Yeah, it's a bit easy fighting the end. Arrogant? Probably too arrogant. There's no morale. Do these even have morale? They do. Good hits. Could have waited. Should have waited. There's one. It's not gonna matter. Alright, yeah, sure. So the next round I get to attack with everyone. Too much? For plus one attack it's an odd. Plus one attack, plus one attack. Waste my turn. Oh, she uses so much on the, oh man. She uses so much on the swamp. It's unbelievable, even with really fast troops. You would think that an ice elemental could slither through the swamp. Sprites can fly over it. The air elemental can fly over it. So what is it? Just libiter herself. She's just a real slow, like a slow coach. Alright, we're investing here now. Let's do the things we definitely want to do first. So here's my idea. Dendroid archers. So Dendroid guards. This is plus one movement, plus from three movement to four movement. I think it's better to do this than it is to buy all of these. Okay, so we miss out on three. But I think that's, I think these guys, 11 of these is enough to matter. And I'll reinforce as well. Oh, now I don't have enough of the unicorns. This is a bit panicky, but just to save on moves. So I'll learn some stuff there. Do this, do this. I keep the loins. The last seems too good to be a messenger hero, but anyway. So this gives knowledge and power plus three. And she is wearing just this conjuring thing. Like what if she had plus five knowledge and power instead? Then she could cast. It's probably just gonna be okay. I'll keep this. I'll back on this guy getting to level 10 somehow. I think it's a bit fanciful. I'm not sure it's gonna work now. It's a bit of a strange looking army. Oh, hey, we're in the southeast. That just occurred to me. Maybe this matters. Do we know where this is? Some rocks and a bump. No. Oh my plotting and planning. It's like, yeah, no. That's not a thing. So reveal a bit more here. What can we see? Sulfur boots and free spell power. I can live without that. I don't know. Pack of champions. I feel like they have movement 12. Might be movement 11. If they move first, they get a huge charge. But as they charge across the battlefield and kill like 40 elves, I'm gonna feel so sad. Alright, well now I might as well go to this defensive thing. He still can't do his thing. Yeah, okay, let's just see what happens. Come back to the beef. Yes, okay. Blue, blue, blue. Blue is trying to retake the town. I think I have to let that go. I've got 70 Mercury. I can't afford to gallop down there. Gernison maybe Fior could come over and mop this up for me. Alright, that's what we came here to do. Let's have a look. What we got? Ring of Infinite Gems guarded by Dickens. Okay, let's take these on. I don't know if this... Okay, I am acting first. They have speed eight, so that's hilarious. And the game's already over before it's begun. If you have the fastest troops and expert slow, and you're up against something that isn't a hero, so hard for them. So it's just the same as the Nagas, and these are gonna go down so easily. Watch how many of these die. So what gives? Why not? 12-20. Decent. There it is. I think that's better than air, although I have air elementals until she goes and learns thingy. With expert scholar, I can learn all resurrection. I'm just taking this. I might not get a chance to do that again for a while. I'm taking it. We've got lots of Cerbera. I didn't actually see that. They're guarding a dragon utopia. Magogs guarding a thing I don't want to attack. A horde of fire elementals. So the Cerbera are going to be slower, I think, than me. And I get to do the same fight again that I just did. There's room for two here. There's a prisoner here. It looks like I can get to. This area looks easier. I'm gonna go free the hero. Yes. Do I still want a slow, pathetic useless. You moralist moron. Walking joke. Look at you. Pathetic. Go yourself a fire elemental. Pile of ash on the ground. Pathetic. Useless. Like I'm embarrassed for you. A cry of pain leads you to a centaur caught in a trap. Upon setting the creature free, he hands you a small pouch, emptying the contents. You find a dazzling jeweled ring. The ring of infinite gems. Excellent. Really good for us as we don't have that. Yeah, I want to beeline this prisoner. A pack of war unicorns. Definitely doable. Are we faster than war unicorns? Speed 9? Feels like maybe we aren't. How fast are the other unicorns we've got, these ones? How fast are they? Speed 7. So is a war unicorn speed 8 or 9? I think it's 9. And if it's 9, it means we will go first. Even if they do go first, I could blind them and mess with them. I'm getting this. I'm rescuing that prisoner. What's going on down here? Feleska's getting ready to explore that area. We were gonna buy unicorns, weren't we? Let's do that. You've got nothing. So come on up here. Now that we know it's safe in this area, at least anyway, is safe. Grab the unicorns. Go here. I mean, I'm not ready to do toppers. Gold golems can sometimes be diamond golems and gold golems can be an issue. Impecache. I might leave that for... Oh, there's another unicorn glade there. There's one here and one here. Oh, that changes my mind a bit. Pack of champions. I do think I need to look it up. I mean, they're certainly faster than my speed 7. What's my fastest thing? The fastest thing I have is speed 7. The question is, can they reach me in one turn? Champions at speed 9. I think the reason I thought they were 11 and stuff is because usually when you use champions, you have... You know, you're fighting on grass or you have whatever other buffs and they end up at speed 11. I'm sure there's probably games I've played in the past where they've effectively had speed 11. These guys won't. They'll have speed 9. And as a result, I think with this existing layout, I'm good to just go. I am going to have two stacks. I'm all right. I don't need to worry. This is fine. This is fine. What do you... Oh, they could get morale though. They have positive morale. They might have positive morale. No morale. How many? How many? Oh my god. Don't you dare... I lost 9 grand out of 9. I didn't think about morale. I still would have gone for it though, wouldn't I? All right. Unicorns and dendroid soldiers can kill this, I think. Oh my god. These guys are so much more scary than I had. I could kill him with this. 270 to 450 so I can... Yeah, I can just kill this stack. This guy then moves to here. The unicorns move to here. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, I could wait with the unicorns. Wait. Murder? First degree murder. Very good. Do nothing. Unicorns. You're still going to be blind tomorrow. If I'm wrong about that, I hate my life. She has power 3. Okay, so yeah. So if I fire, he wakes up and if I fire now, he wakes up. I mean, it says here he's not going to, but she's only... Oh no, wait, wait, wait. This is the conjurer woman. Sorry. Wasted everyone's time there. Her spell durations are like 50. Right. All of you people, do nothing. Do nothing. That's murder. Right. That's just... You're not coming back from there. So he woke up. He woke up, but he didn't get it. Sorry, I must remember that. Yeah, duration is infinite basically. Nine elves died to morale. Totally sucks. I'll put pieces upon. Absolutely. Yes, please. Really, really good. Gala's going to want a piece of that. Now, having Gala here... Oh, he's out of moves. I was going to say he could grab the army go to the implication. You know, we could start levelling him up that way. He's like a junior understudy or something. Now's the time to go get these. And I could pop down to the window. Might do that too. Now you can finally buy these. And you can go here. Great. Great, great, great. Everyone underestimate the value of the incidental weekly visits, like how important it is to hit them. We actually haven't had many. We've just only had this one and that windmill. Um, tons. I only have two grand up my sleeve. I'm not going to spend it. Badge of courage. Prison. It's a good area. It's better than the portals because we already know that other heroes have been through those portals where we killed the Naga, so we're the first ones down here. So normally I'd be really trying to rush Fiora into getting over here with some kind of army, but we're obviously freeing the prisoner. So I think that probably matters more. I think I want to look up here. It should jump around anyway and show me what the enemies are doing. Here we go. Okay, Red's back in force. Blue is still fighting for its survival. Can't tell if it's fighting Tan or if Tan captured the city and then died. Might be worth a quick look. One thing we could do. Yeah, okay, so blue is still very much alive and that is three weeks worth of dudes. Like that's, we probably need to prepare for a comeback from blue, although I'm glad Tan messed with them. Red meanwhile have shown up with a rag tag bunch, haven't they? Look at that. Elementals, stronghold, dungeon. So the behemoth with Harpy's, they're not going to have very good morale. Then you've got your standard army, which looks exactly the same as the one that beat me before. That's the same hero that beat me before as well. So we could put the shackles on and come and ruin their day. And I think that's what I'm going to do. Both of these heroes look very killable for Libita. Speed nine. But I go first because I'm the player. I've got speed nine as well. Obviously, morale is same mold. Problem, the cheapest way to deal with this is slow. And then if a morale flash happens, it doesn't matter. And a sorrow is extremely narrow application. And spread the love around a bit. Oh, she's going to wait anyway though. So just wait, wait, wait, wait. Bring it. It was an unnecessary risk I just took, I realized. And actually this guy could. Yeah, if you've got morale, if those five unicorns have gotten morale, one, two, three, four would have just missed actually. Okay. Small mistakes can absolutely destroy you. I love logistics. But I'm the town portal queen. Still taking it. I just don't think you can ever not take it. It's just so good. Give me the badge. Teach me, what do I want to be better at? Knowledge. Knowledge just keeps ratcheting up the old town portal. I'll worry about it on the way back. Who are you? Let's see who we've got. The Dazzling's play of daring. Once again, we free, we break into the local jail and free the hero who in return pledges loyalty to your cause. It is none other than drumroll a troglodyte who probably doesn't know spells. If I recall correctly, his name is Shakti. He's the king of the troglodytes. He's level five. This is not this Shakti. You are not what I wanted. Pathfinding. And I've got these awkward 70 troglodytes I don't know what I'm going to do with. That's a letdown. He's bad. He's not good. We can't really use this hero. He doesn't synergize with our people in any way. He knows no spells. Ah. LeBeath is there standing looking at him like this slimy pile of... Like what even are you? Who are these 78 of you? 68 of you? Why were you in prison? Who? They're probably all slimy. LeBeath is like, I don't want to interact with him. I can't teach him anything. I don't want the trogues. I don't want to give him any sprites to make him faster because then I'm giving up 68 trogues. Doesn't seem good. You can get that for me. I'll go here. So I'm on 180 maximum. I go to 200 here or I can take the spell power which is better for ice bolt. She kind of wants both. I actually take knowledge. So this is lots of zombies. Seems a shame to waste her on this. These errands are not really worthy of her and I do want to pop my head out here. So now that I've got someone down here, Shakti, we can use him to scout even though he's slower than LeBeath. Another hero. Lots of battle dwarves down here. You can come down here. LeBeath will try and get rewards, the quest rewards, whatever you want to call them. So she is going to go to spell points. Maybe not. This will be guarded by some unicorns where I make that mistake again. So why guard it? Join me. You fool. No wishing wells nearby. I've already burned some mana. I have no mysticism. So I'm just going to take the risk. Two is good. Oh, not what happened. Did they just wait? Okay, you're dead. So the world didn't happen. I never actually readjusted my elves. I like the two stacks though. I think that's okay. So I'm thinking of leaving that for Gala and maybe letting him get some experience off that. Are you serious? That's all that's here? Wow. So Soulmere. I had it in my head. Soulmere had all this stuff up here he was doing. He was just hanging out. Okay, maybe he went to the imp cache. We have to expect that it's been deserted for some time, kind of thing. Disappointed. Disappointed in you, Soulmere. To use the army. We'll get Veleska back to civilization. He's doing this job. So we really are being left alone nicely at the moment. Yeah, Veleska's been through all of that already. Come back up here. You're going to do this, but before you do that, you've got to do this. Mm-hmm. Come on back. All clicking together pretty nicely here. You can see what red does here. Let's have a look. Medusa's doors. Yeah, there's nothing here for you. So blue is on the ascendancy. Here comes blue. Another big fight brewing I perceive. I think this army and Isra, see Soulmere is dead. You have to use Isra. He's going to come down south trying to get revenge. We're going to grand elf him to death. As and when that happens, we want to free the prisoner. I'm going to do a lot of things here. Can't get to you today. I don't think there's no way no. I like this idea of just cleaning this area up, letting one of the other heroes get the stuff. Lots of Minotaur Kings. Come back down here. Go boom, boom. Do I want to give Shakti the experience? I don't really want to let him have it, but it would make more sense to, for her to do this, grab the things herself, come back out, give Shakti the army. Shakti does these things. Like, okay. And maybe I'm being troglodytist. I'm discriminating against Shakti really. I'm not being fair to him. Dragonfly hive. Yeah, we just have an army that doesn't want to do the dragonfly hive. I'm happy to do this and take the experience though right with the beta. So just slow again is going to really ruin your day. Are you Minotaur Kings or Minotaur Kings? I see any movement form. I don't even know why I'm waiting. You can't be a bit major, I don't know. I love these guys. These guys are so strong. Such a great year that you're Minotaur King. Okay. Well, this is a bit scary. Do nothing. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, you don't have movement. Let me check that. Yeah, yeah, move up four so you're never going to get there. Both of you have movement to get to me now, so you need to die. Is that going to happen? Yes it is. You guys keep getting lucky. I wish I knew what it is that's actually doing. Take the XP this time I think. Here you guys, dum, dum. I think she needs to come to here to make that work. All right. Do not look upon my face you filthy kerb. Shackity. Take this badge of courage. I'm going to give it back to her as all sticky. I'll mind these 68 disgusting creatures for you. Shackty goes and does the job, frees the prisoner. Yeah, this is okay. May as well. Let's just not bother. May as well, given the experience I suppose. You would think that when you find yourself hiring heroes or freeing heroes that are just completely not aligned at all to your thing, that there would be some sort of penalty. That's one thing about the game I just wish was a bit different, that she will lead the troglodytes with just as much capability as let's say a warlock. Actually we have a warlock, that guy there, Alomar. The two of them would lead the troglodytes exactly just as professionally as each other. And it just feels like it would be better if there was some meaningfulness between the what hero you've got and what an optocrite. So the sprites are taking orders from a troglodyte. In fact, you know in fact at seven six, well all right but you know what I mean. Just feels a bit jarring. All right, lots of battle dwarfs will go down. Give me the experience, come on. Let's just start. You can't get to me with morale. Good old dwarfs. Poor old fellas never stood a chance. I feel a bit mean really. Basic wisdom. Could be useful I suppose. Let's just take tactics. This is really our priority. Yet another dazzling display. Let's see who we get. Yet another drum roll. Don't be a level five. Actually you know what? The one I really don't want is a necropolis hero. That would be, they're the ones where I'm raising all these skeletons and stuff. It's just so jarring. It doesn't work with my strategy. Sir Mullik. Oh this guy. Yeah this guy as well. Okay good. See these guys are friends. That makes sense. Sir Mullik is the speedy guy. Yeah this guy. This guy. That is broken. That ability is absolutely unreal. All creatures, all his creatures on the field receive plus two. Not fair. Not fair in the early game, not fair in the mid game, not fair in the late game. Because if you've got level seven upgraded creatures and so does your opponent, well guess what? Going first is still going to be absolutely fantastic for you. Like it's going to be awesome. Okay leadership is yeah, but that plus two, that should be plus one. It feels like it's too good. Sir Mullik. Is it just me or does Sir Mullik look like a photo of someone? Whereas this looks like, this is more of a painting, like a caricature of someone. Whereas that looks more like just a draw, like kind of a rendering of a photo or something. I don't know, that's just me. Maybe I'm crazy. Sir Mullik, much more exciting character. Having said that, I just realized he's level one. What? I thought they always came out level 10. Well I don't want to invest him if he's level one. Gonna get excited about him. Now he does have movement though, which is good. Who? The sprites? Ah, I still get the experience, yeah. This will work, I'll just kill him. Feel bad, but whatever. The likes will die. There's nine of them? With movement six, that's slower than me. Oh, you would think. Why are they so slow? So I don't know how that'll go. I think both of these will attack. All right, let's go. Let's just see what happens here. They go third. It's a pretty impressive Shakti, I must say. I don't want to hire any.
