 Hello everyone and welcome to episode two of the Inferno and our journey through the Inferno in what is actually a lush green pasture Now it's been a couple of months. It's been some time since the first episode was recorded And I've spent a bit of time going back over Where the game state was up to to try and refresh my memory and I'm beginning to remember why I put it down It's because the game is kind of Well fallen into this kind of you could do anything state And it feels like whichever movie we make will be fairly impactful. We've got a very very big empire very early on But we have terrible heroes or no disrespect to Fiona and the others and we have a really rag tag army and really underdeveloped towns What remains is it's there's three of us there's blue and purple and they're in this land mass here On the mini map that you can see where I'm hovering my mouse and we've got these three regions here as you can see The one that's out on the right-hand side here is connected by a portal that Josephine is standing on and it connects to the snow realm which is over here And it's been a bizarre journey where we've just we fought a couple of really massive defenses at our hometown at the Inferno Most recently I own of the blue hero came in here flagged this stuff very very arrogantly and then promptly You know committed suicide at the at the walls of the Inferno Um, but even though we've we're in the ascendancy where the most powerful faction were very thinly spread so Um, yeah, it's a real head scratcher as to what to do next and and then I literally subconsciously scratch my head as I said that um, the other thing is that I've started wearing glasses so I got these uh a month or so ago and they help uh they are helping me a lot uh with my Gaming I'm getting less sore eyes and stuff. So well just a little life lesson for you guys um, if you're If your age starts with a four um And you're getting sore eyes from playing the same game for 25 years Uh Think about getting your eyes checked think about maybe whether uh, this is only a Plus one and a half. Um, but I have contact lenses as well that I've worn for a long time Anyway, you guys don't need to know all of that detail In the last couple of months I have been very addicted to warhammer total war and I keep pushing w as indeed to move around the screen and it doesn't work Uh, so if you see me randomly pull up menus, um at the wrong time, it's because I've stupidly pushed The w key probably I think I've decided I had a little bit of a scout round before I hit the record button and I think what I'm going to do is Consolidate so I'd be tempted to push in here with her good scouting if your own is a really expert scout We can have a look around but we kind of know what's here because we know the pattern The way the map has generated the five starting locations. Everyone gets a gold mine Okay, and everyone gets a small piece of land And a connection to the underground but the guardians of the underground are all very very strong So we've got lots of empire lords here. I don't know. I assume that's a big pile of genies um This one here is lots of wyverns So I'm tempted to sort of say look I'm going to leave blue and purple to it And I'm going to try to consolidate maybe even try to kill these wyverns One good thing about doing that would be unlocking this extra gold mine, which couldn't make quite a lot of difference Uh, but we don't want to throw out throw our Troops away, you know, we've got like a week's worth of pathetic troops. The 29 Cerberus are quite nice But nothing else like everything else is Dodgy right Uh, so I think what I like with Fiona is to just stick around. She doesn't have wisdom. I just checked that before so can't learn forgetfulness But we can do I do this we can flag the crystal here Try to get her ready to face the wyverns Uh, there are some troops in here, but Josephine could get them so we start with that and that'll be our first move in What has been a long time More mercury is going to be pivotal as we try to grow our inferno Um And I'll make my way up here to do this job Josephine one thing you could do for me is I don't think we've got all these obelisks. No, we didn't okay, so So we're just doing some housekeeping a little bit of just let's just see where we are We know we're in the ascendancy economically We've got the best long-term prospects for future growth out of the three factions So okay, so the grail is somewhere Out in the middle of the ocean on an island, I assume Did I get this one? I did okay So how my levels I hope this is I hope this is all gonna flow well from the previous video and that it's not too jarring that I look completely different So you get a completely different person playing the games like who the hell is it? Uh, did we find out what that sea wants? We didn't What do I want to do I could push into here I'd like to know if there's anything there Uh, like can we just how close are we to blue's hometown? I want to know that Uh, so one way to find that out would be to send a bit of an expeditionary force A very low risk expeditionary force Right something like this sendrector out there. Does he have any artifacts? He's just an idiot right level two The heroes are all so weak and so new newby See I think who's this guy access level three. Let's have a look throughout heroes We've got even Fiona our starting here. It's only level four. It's the end of month one Expert scouting is okay, and she has learnt blind, which is awesome That's actually quite good. Tiva is out on the water. She I think was a prisoner I can't really remember but I'm pretty sure she was a prisoner But looking at her skills. I've forgotten how bad like eagle eye is her specialty and she comes with eagle eye First aid, but she doesn't even have a first aid tent Like archery with no arches Need I go on she's out on the water Access is no basic estates. It's okay Josephine's And like I think they're nobody's artifacts are okay. This is quite a good artifact And Josephine I'd forgotten has these these are great boots of speed I really probably messed up. I should have given Fiona the boots of speed So I'll try and do that tomorrow do this come galloping back up. Yeah, we'll give her the boots of speed um But I think for a rapture I'm going to Which one do I want more crystal or gems looks like crystal? Okay, I'll get the crystal Now I think the inc inc case imp cache has been visited I'll just pop down here first and I think I like for access Access of evil Yeah, we'll start to look I guess I guess Doesn't feel like there's a strongly right or wrong choice when he's all starting from such a bad starting point Um Okay Now the inferno. I think is our best town. We have a quick look through. We've got city hall and castle Conflux is city hall and Citadel, I think that is and hermit cove So was our and hermit cove is a citadel and so the inferno looks to be it's got level five creatures The other two only have level the same We do have wire burns, but that's not a big deal um So I think we want to Invest here because we've got the castle and we have enough money for the capital so We're gonna sit back. We're going to go vertical We're going to hope for no combats And see if we get away with it That's my strategy. There's blue. I've forgotten who's who's that blue guy go back Hang on you can replay the turn count here. So yeah, okay, so grinden is a nobody I think but I think all three of us have big armies full of nobodies Who is this? Oh, that's not a nobody That's a somebody Okay, that's easily the best army on the map Yeah, that's like a that's like three weeks worth of A horde of archers. Why haven't you made the marksman? I wonder Yeah, I doesn't know the marksman are awesome What is that? Do you get an archer? He's got an archers tower and he's used it to make A horde of only archers. Maybe that's what it thinks it thinks to itself. Oh, I won't bother because I've got an external dwelling. Is that a rule does the aioi never upgrade Its creatures that it hasn't an external dwelling for I never saw that the nolls flail. I probably saw it last time I played lots of dwarves guarding a nolls flail Yeah, no, I would have because I think tva came down and found that I remember all this man like, ah Can't do I can't let this happen again And I apologize like you guys are watching it having just watched episode one going Get with the program paul We already knew this it's old news And I'm here going oh guys. I just figured this out. Look at what this cool thing I turned my audio off. I can't quite hear. Oh there. I hear the birds chirping now Hopefully the levels are okay for you guys Uh, those of you watching at home or at work if you should be working right now um Well done for getting your priorities right Get the knowledge The implication almost surely was done by air. No, that's not a surprise now. Can I just gallop through here? Can I just gallop through there's the town? No, okay. I can't so That route that they took before is the only route That's quite nice to know so to get from their town to our town You've got to go all the way around and down and through right so that's a two-day journey even for a very good hero A very fast hero All right, let's do this Could get in a boat What's out here? I can't remember what that does. Do you have to fight some undead on it? What do I do with access to I want to stand here all the way until day one Doesn't really matter. I think I'd rather level them up a bit And we're gonna want to flag that so I can come back up later Josephine Uh, please give me the boots Right that you should have given me earlier And then she's gonna be like a messenger hero. Yeah, give me these. How did I miss that? It's because they're kind of camouflaged against the backdrop. I can't quite see Fiona's gonna get the extra. Is it mercury? Crystal and I do have to pursue for the experience. Sorry that this fight is boring I can I can sense you all That sounds like I said I can sense you all I can sensual I can sense you all Scrolling, you know your finger along the iPad to get past these combats where it's like I've clicked yes And because I like to watch the animations or the animation speeds are slow So you're watching a really crappy Plump of utterly doomed monsters Um getting their butts kicked So I know I'm sorry for that some of you on the other hand I'm sure have this sadistic thing going on where you can't wait to see You know, uh the utter slaughter of these hapless morons um as well and um I get that, you know, I get that I've just played this a bit stupidly. I just want to make absolutely sure there's no unnecessary Spell points or troop losses Yeah But a boom good old Cerberus's It's a bit of a shame Fiona's stuck out here miles from the inferno unable to keep piling into Cerberus's Cerberi That's a bit annoying actually Do we think she could kill the lots of wyverns? I don't have a lot of trips there for her to do it with so the question is Whether or not that army she has is enough to beat Lots of wyverns Too ambitious Wait for another day Another day gets me what how many more basilisks it would get maybe six wyverns I'd have six wyverns of my own She has blind lightning bolt won't do enough. Yeah lightning bolt does 60 damage or something for her I can't fight them yet. Can I I want to try to square that off. Is it possible to connect her up with the 10 Cerberus that are here and The others that are coming It'd be a shame for the Cerberus to die She's done that job. She's going to come back through the portal before she goes Josephine is going to grab From her Anything with a fortress label on it I'm not ready to dismiss this fire elemental because I Wonder if we might end up buying some sprites and stuff with Josephine as well Just please someone remember Even though you guys can't help me because you're watching in the future that this exists and we don't have We have two town we have two town types needlessly going on It's a bit annoying um Yeah, so Fiona we're going to build her into something proper proper inferno here that can go around and win the actual game But she's not she's a long way from that right. She's not we're near that yet When she's back over here, she's going to get the soul for there's something for her to do so that's fine So I'm jumping around the best man Can I also unflag the Open up the um altar of thought I might be strong enough to do that just with this It's it's really hard to figure out what to do in these situations to get it to get it right Now Where are we 23 mercury and I want to build this up This is going to take 20 when we get this one's three. So I'm going to spend all my mercury on the buildings How much mercury am I printing for myself each day you ask Why can't I right-click and you tell me that What do I have to push to find out my mercury income three mercury a day that's just not bad Okay, so yeah, we're we're building the inferno into a good inferno Fire lake. I'm thinking about the forsaken palace tomorrow in time for week one Who is my what are my options hero wise if I did want another hero? Solmere Is he gonna get a chance to do his thing though? It doesn't matter Oh, vampire vocale is vampire everything does vocale to you guys look like Steve from accounting or at halloween Do you know what I mean by that like he just looks like a guy dressed is dressed up as a vampire Whereas solmere looks like this fantastical, you know lord of thunder a kind of thing The artwork. I mean, I don't know there's something about it. I'm not dissing it. It's dissing the artwork. It's just um I think it might be the expression he's pulling as well It's like did you get that report finished for You know the end of the quarter You know, he's standing out to the photocopier on halloween Maybe it's not a thing. I don't know. Do I want to hire him now? Why would I hire him? You say well One reason is that I don't want 300 have to come all the way back home. I really want her to have to do that Um, I'm gonna have a complete compliment of All of the inferno So there's no conflicts stuff. I'm gonna be buying So why am I doing this altar of thought then? Um, yeah, I'm not right. I don't I hate the elementals. They all still just terrible so I'm just gonna leave the conflicts to rot. I don't care about it. And that means I don't care about the altar of thought that much Stop piling tons of fire elementals and turning them into energy alone, isn't it? Maybe it's a thing. Maybe I could get energy elementals going But I need to buy a castle here And I don't have the resources for that. So two and a half grand on soul me is probably a waste of money Let's see Yeah, see they're doing very consolidating looking moves themselves Oh, okay. So what's it crack? So how can I get in and see Your base Okay, it's not very well guarded First observation you've been here this week. I'm actually gonna push up with rashka even though Oh, there's land here land hoe Is that where is that where my map currently is if you look at that rectangle there where my map is Can you guys see I don't know Is that Is that near here? Like could it be up here? kind of thing Hang on say about there About here somewhere Can he learn third level spells with basic wisdom he can Do I have any scholars? Oh, he's a scholar as well. Yeah Since it's in there, I think that's worth doing. Oh, yes jackpot Tiva so Bit of a train wreck really Tiva, aren't you? Uh, let's do this. So she was gonna do that How do I kill lots of wyverns? I do it with tomorrow's troops. So I'm gonna get myself ready For that Could do it with some thought elementals. I couldn't I why couldn't I You ask and the answer is because the thought elementals will cost money that you could be spending on Yeah, it's meant to be look at that. There he is my first one Oh, baby Devils are a great way to kill wyverns. They're a great way to kill everything Which begs the question. Okay. If I'm if I've bought the devils, what am I doing with the rest of my soldiers? Axis is here like an idiot walking around with water elementals. Why do you still have water elementals you fool? This needs to be flagged Come down do this. You're an idiot. Why are you carrying them around? They're gonna get in my way, aren't they? They're gonna be a pain in the backside. Why do I have them? How did I come by nine? I'll have to watch the first video back. How did I come by nine water elementals? Did I buy them? I must have actually chosen to buy them over here, which is just sad Paul of two months ago. What were you thinking? Maybe he did it for a good reason. I don't know. Oh, there's no weekly Things I need to do really with Josephine Here's the thing Josephine would benefit from having thought elementals and I could build the altar of thought Start stacking them up and That could matter and the fire elemental thing as well like I could have I could do that I could see doing that My only concern is if a hero comes galloping through here and I'm too far away from the fortress to defend it I could give you the troops. Yeah, why why take a chance? Right, why take a chance? Come through and help me. Give me the soldiers I'll set you up. I'm gonna have to walk on snow though And then you're gonna have to come with me to get the army back again Oh, this is probably stupid Yes, I wish to fight the guards six of them in one stack and I think you'll find Yep, blind is a mind spell. So slow, however Is on So instead of moving seven and move five that should be enough For me to No So we're just waiting everywhere You boys have to move your five Slow is not very good with no magic skill. It only took seven down five, but it should be enough To matter one two three four five One two three Bloody thing One two three four five. Yeah I think I'm just gonna run away with my other soldiers Right, I think I can battle this move. That seems pretty good movement six. Oh, that's the necklace. Yeah I'm gonna move this time this turn and start shooting the turn after If they try to attack the first 810, I don't care Might get morale. No, I can't get morale. Okay. It doesn't matter. Right. Wait here. You're still slowed Wait, it's still rather scary there, isn't it? So I get to cast another spell. What could I choose this time? Bloodlust my dogs 60 damage to the top. Yeah, isn't enough to really matter Bloodlust the bassies Don't need to get that one two three four five So we can't get to anybody I think I will bloodlust the dogs I think I said in the first video I'm going to ban myself from casting bless on any inferno troops just because I have a flavor objection thing going on I'm just gonna do this. I don't think I'm gonna lose a dog Only one died. Oh Oh, was that a min roll was that the min roll of all min rolls Three lizard warriors perish that stinks Okay, so one of them will die and his crack back will not kill a basilisk That's what I'm saying The crack back won't oh, but it might kill a does he hit all squares Did the psychic elementals kill or attack everything around them the way the magic ones do? I don't know Petrifying uh trigger is nice there If I do this what happens as you wake up and have a go I don't know. I'm not gonna risk it 11 to 27 isn't enough, but I can just kill him with the dogs now. Yeah Three lizard warriors and quite a lot of spell points. I have a funny feeling that was a bad fight by me But I never profess to be any good at this Defense skills. All right, I suppose No, surely. I'm not supposed to intentionally choose mysticism. I'm not gonna do that Yes, after all that Right, okay. Yeah between the two of them. It's a bit tricky Don't worry. I'm telling you it's a bit tricky Just looking around here. Okay. All right, we'll hand over Wait a second. Should I build the psychic town here? Three grand Garden of life as well. I didn't see that Yeah, I might go garden of life start building up sprites and elementals And eventually do this as well Mercury again, seriously All right, garden of life's an easy one. Grant just do it. I should have done that It's tight here. I just really don't want to see a big hero come galloping down towards the fortress here, please What did I just say? I own her again Oh, she's come with she's come well rested today 75 spell points Let your lesson did you babe? Oh, look am I even gonna bother finding this? I got nothing. I can't do anything. Slow shield. The imps won't do any damage I'm just out of here. I might even do I even care about Raksha. Do I need him back? How bad how badly do I want him back? How good was he? Let's have a look. I always get the buildings when I stopped having So he's level two Speciality E-freight Scholar, maybe he's kind of useful He is level two, I guess. I don't, zombie is awesome, but I'm not gonna use chain right now that often I'm not, he's not gonna get leveled up. He's not gonna become my private hero No, that's that stinks though Then again, I only gets revenge. That's okay She's way away from coming down. She'll get to about here tomorrow if she wanted to So I have time to do this Undo that wrong A horde of gremlins It'll be a good target practice for him A horde of gremlins. The only problem is if he's got some masters, but I do have 85 points of damage for us if he has a stack of masters. So I think that's worth doing that fight Maybe tomorrow What's the most efficient way? Edit, sorry my family came in just as I was about to ask that question. I'm trying to think of what the most efficient way Uh is to get the fire elementals up, but keep Josephine near. I think I'm just gonna be really inefficient and keep her back up near the portal And I'm gonna allow Fiona to do the running around Um Quite literally running around doing this Oh, I thought I would have to conquer How about that and I think then I can stand here and I'll unlock all this tomorrow Um, and I'll gallop back up and give these to her. She can pop down do this And pop into the conflux and get the I think I'm doing this right even so it's gonna be it's gonna take time And momentum off me, but it's okay So there's gonna be some inefficiency in our moves. We aren't gonna be able to Yeah, the key thing is really that I can quickly get If a nasty hero comes galloping down here. Well, there is a hero a hero. I wouldn't call him nasty But Josephine can get back and challenge him or get back behind the walls Maybe if you're standing here, it would help She needs to pull the trigger quickly and get the heck get the heck back Tiva my most useless Oh god, there's nothing here You need either scouting. Oh, finally something flotsam. You need other scouting on navigation on these heroes You really do on an expert. I think I extra large map. I think I've forgotten that I think one final thought Jerry Springer style might be that I do bring That hero back But bring him back over here Rashka Even though his e-freedability won't matter, but it won't anyway Bring him back here and then he could Be a messenger guy. I think that's okay. Yeah, this is fine. It's not ideal It just feels like a shame to waste a level two here. I have to start again with a level one Maybe it doesn't matter But I feel like with that layout with him there He could get behind the walls with Fiona's army if he has to He could probably even be right down here On the gate. He could actually stand on the gate. Maybe He could stand on the gate Which gives her the opportunity to just hang out here Does it actually matter can Fiona get up to this? She could just do that. She could use the road So I think it's okay. All right, come here There is this as well. I don't think I did this crypt Although maybe it had already been done by tan before I killed them. All right, whatever day seven What am I doing in here anything? No So are there any other dwellings I want to get up? I did not want to do something in the complex Ultra of thought. Yeah, I've done that. Okay. All right. Well then Okay So what's that gonna mean serpent fly pop doubles. So are there any annoying New serpent flies here's one guarding my sulfur It doesn't seem to be any other there's one. Yeah, I think that's blocking Blue and blue now has this here Nothing. Okay, and then this one. So that means Yeah, that's actually quite good. That's gonna change the way things work In the east a little bit. I'm not gonna have to worry as much about blue crashing back through here Maybe there's a bit of that Uh, what else any other serpent flies anywhere? I was hoping there'd be one right there. There isn't There's one Okay, Tiva, what can you do? Let's just do you first Bada boom, bada boom Okay, finally doing something for the team I think I can do this fight as long as I have even if there's masters I can bolt them So that's 160 so I only killed half. I just didn't blind Best spell in the game best combat spell. I think I'm here do a bit of this Don't really need these little stacks. I don't think for anything Shoot them Well, you're not gonna get Mariah That was probably stupid of me because they're all gonna die to the demons anyway I think it's not clear from the interfaces. How long The blind will last with spell power three Oh, maybe it is clear. Maybe that's what it's telling me That they're gonna go first I'm not gonna risk it I think I messed that up somehow It feels like I didn't want to pay six imps to be able to see this obvious not visited where so I'd say day one What can we do? So it's gonna be a while before I'm ready to Like 17 grand isn't enough to buy three devils. Anyway, isn't enough to do this job Lots of wyverns is the task So I'm thinking now it might be better to focus on psychic elementals turn them to magic elementals How many could I get if I do that? Um, so there's two this week Fiona already has two And there's six in base. So that's 10. I could have 10 magic elementals Combined with blind might be enough to get the job done and 29 Cerberus's So with that in mind, let's do Fiona Get that done It's a little bit clunky. I think I'll just go to here Get these Get Fiona's ones bring them back as well. I've to upgrade them. It is clunky. Um, I'm not upgrading these Yet Um, Fortress is going to be Josephine's business right Fortress is going to be Josephine's Conflux and Inferno are going to be Fiona, but only Hmm, well Conflux might be gets shared. I'm just thinking about whether I want to risk any of these troops with the wyverns Uh, because they're such small stacks. They'll just be so easily preyed upon Just trying to think in advance. I'll be back anyway. I'll be back to see you again shortly Yeah, let's do this. Let's do this and then we buy these Well, do we upgrade? Do we upgrade? How much is that? It's a lot of my money They are so good though these things So so good And then what I could do is this it's actually not stupid It really isn't fun times. We have fun, don't we? As we do this Since I am the lizard queen I'd like to get the I'd like to get these actually now 70 of them seems like would be useful Even against the wyverns So I could wait till tomorrow and buy some more stuff Some more conflict stuff like I could buy some more Sprites And then she goes magic elementals. She has 21 not only 25 no 36 So 26 fire elementals 70 sprites 10 magic elementals and then the two inferno soldiers Don't pull it with the others Clear the wyverns go underground See what's there Clear the dwarves They could even do tag team because we have to clear the dwarves and explore the underground And stay near the portal So I'm the defender of the realm here I really am just hanging out though just hanging out biden time Axis I think now has time right he has time to muck around so we can do this Yep as well Yeah, this is good. This is fine Right blue muck's about what are you doing? What are you doing blue blue blue blue? Don't even bother. I'm just going to take a look at edrick again. He's back on land He's not gotten any bigger yet. I never noticed that this is a rampart. I probably should have It's probably pretty obvious from compositions Are we even seeing that there's a rampart there? I should be paying more attention Right Where to next you say maybe up here grab these We have extra serpent flies that shouldn't be forgotten either. How many more? Yeah, there's 24 in there now. That's quite nice actually All right, so here comes the next big fight right if I win this it's a pretty big deal because I unlocked the gold mine I'll probably have to fight something similarly mean on the other side of the gate, but we'll see Um Josie and the pussycats I can't actually carry everything. I want to get the Actually worth it. Is it? Not going to do enough damage. How much damage do they do? Does a sprite do? So I'm going to deal about two damage on average Which is 140. That's two wyverns with no enemy retaliation. That's pretty significant. That's pretty relevant That could be quite relevant to the fight. All right, so I'm just gonna leave them I'll go this because I don't have a stack for that like if you get if you get clunky. I'm not gonna upgrade them for a while I think it's more efficient for me to stand here in terms of moves Am I ready for this fight? Oh No fiona 22 spell points. I've got two blinds up my sleeve No, she's ducked off it again, didn't she? Okay. All right. Here we go. Give me these Soldiers I'll keep these Or should you just take the whole lot? Three alignments They're not going to be happy I only have room for two. I don't want to waste the dragonflies. It's just these two. That's not enough It doesn't make enough of a difference to the fight For me I think I want to do it this in this configuration. I don't know. I can start staring at it. Good luck for Ever and you guys just get so bored that you click on you click off me and go watch some other video That wouldn't be any good. That's not what we want Is this crazy? Lots of why it burns. It's a lot of hp for me to chew through by any man's measure Blind doesn't last that long with spell power too Now I'm here looking at it. I'm having second thoughts 10 magic elementals. Come on. Is there any meridian blinding before they act? If I wait with everyone I can see where they position themselves and then pick which one to blind It might be correct to not blind the big stack. I don't know We're both speed seven So I can actually wait. I actually have the benefit of waiting Gogg's the slowest thing in the game. So I'll go for the smallest stack He comes over so We have enough spell power for that at least. I don't know if this is a good move. It's my only concern that this might be wrong You would think these guys should just melt not melt, but you know, I mean like not work See what I mean here. I can't trigger retaliation. It would have been nice to Then again, we've yeah, well, we've all got no retaliation except for the fire ellies So protect They do this Please do massive damage Please do crippling damage Not bad And now that these have moved into range, I think I just gang up on them now I have something to attack. So I'm just gonna do it And the flying here on this map is awesome for them with the ridiculous amount of obstacles I don't want to get hit by that, but I'm faster than you I'm just gonna have to take my beads here As you kill one. That's something. Okay next turn um Yeah, I actually have two hastes up my sleeve. I'll do that Yeah, that seemed good Right, wait here You have a move I'll let the wyvern monarch what the wyvern monarchs are gonna get a hit in It's just the way it's gonna have to be Afraid the matter if I'm alongside you Should I tuck in here? No, that blocks access. There's no need to do that This should hurt Lost one in retaliation Such a dodgy attack Like he's opening his robes So creepy Okay I'm fighting this fairly kind of stupidly Okay Door 16 of the ladies go down. Damn Yeah, go on do this. I'm obviously not waking the monarchs up First day tense work on element is new. Okay, that's the end of this price, but maybe they've done their job They cost me like two grand. Yeah, I just utterly did Um, now nothing has any retaliation. So this is all good thing I've got with these boys now You have to wait Oh gross So I'll do that by just coming back to here There's no hope of a morale flush. I can't haste Blinding again Would be an option But I'm just no it wouldn't no it wouldn't I had no idea that was speed 11. That's so good I just don't think it's worth wasting six spell points to haste my Cerberus I'll have no spell points left for looking underground the next day kind of thing I don't really want the gogs dying just for the fun of it Just in case these get piled up on I'll just kill this So if I blind I can't blind right so all I can do is haste and the only thing I can haste is this And that's worth two Which is going to save me how many soldiers not not enough I have to just take these beats at least seven. I wanted to see folks Because This one's right Does one damage Yes, I wasted all of your time by making you watch that No Okay, all right, there you go Oh man eight I don't mind the others. I don't mind losing the complex stuff. I don't want to lose eight dogs Now that's a choice for you. I think it's pretty obvious what we take here, right? She's never gonna be an amazing spellcaster this woman Fiona she's never gonna be You know, I just think armor is too good. It's just gonna be valuable value for us over the long run 5% Reduction in all damage is the same as increasing all the HP by 5% more or less Shame about the sprites shame about the dogs. I wonder if I should have sacrificed the gogs let them attack the gogs instead Let the wyverns hit the gogs Might have been the right thing to do actually Now I can't resist sticking my head down underground here and having a look see Please don't be the same fight again Well, my composition is actually not bad for this The problem is I need spell points and look at the prizes man if I can Hack through The vampire's cow isn't much good to me But treasure is nice Red dragon flame tongue Red dragon flame tongue What is that plus two to attack in defense? Maybe Yes, I can't remember Pack of horn demons. I could probably beat pretty easily but as it stands Not really ready to take these on Yeah, I'm not fighting them today I mean I want to get this right Do I have to think about okay, so we have to think about when are we coming back to do the job? Lots of power Liches as I've found out that's how you pronounce that word Throne of imps that's pretty straightforward But I do want more troops before I don't want to take losses like that again You know, I need a bigger critical mass Before I come back even lots of swordsmen are gonna hurt If I had 20 magic elementals and 60 Cerberus Well, you know seven devils to go with all this, you know be much more comfortable position Okay, so let's just refresh our memories. We're okay over here Tiva's doing her thing. You're there The best thing to do is unlock this So is there another way to do that other than just going for it and wasting Fiona's time coming back here? I don't think so A horde of dwarfs is nothing to sneeze at actually either There really is a critical mass effect that happens with this game Well, thanks for there's no battle dwarfs. What have I got on my sleeve? I can haste someone Bloodlust someone Let's just try to kite this stack Get ready to attack it with the fire elementals once we have no choice kind of thing That's the way this should go I'm not gonna I'm not gonna spam I'm not gonna spam with the one stack Sprites that's just gonna waste our last time Oh, that's great damage. Wow Six perish. I did not expect that. I can just alpha this now, right because his friends can't help him And the server is so gonna attack again. Oh, that's a mistake Got in his way, I bet Yep There's only six left. How much damage did I do that time? 126? 131? So I don't know if there might be max rolls or not, but who cares He'll probably walk straight over this way Do you really not know? Okay, he's coming down. That's good What we came here to do which is Fast cavalry move bloody kids. I keep getting interrupted in right um Defend defend He is going to kite Kite edge kite edge Just shoot man Not quite ready one two three four five six Not quite ready to commit with the final ellie's just yet And we're just abusing the fact that they have movement three which is just utterly pathetic I mean a unit with movement three on this on a head for some reason the dynamic is just so different When you have movement four you can take part in the game when you have movement three You're basically Totally abusable Like there's a gulf between movement three and four right That's an extra grand each day coming our way Just go around him We're fine with that Okay, so What an exchange look at this Whoever said scholar was terrible I wouldn't have even realized that right because you're too busy as the player you're too busy thinking about the layer of You're not thinking about the knowledge layer of each hero. You're thinking about the armies and then Yeah, scholar is better than it looks I think On paper, uh, that could incidentally end up being really important. He just taught her blind. I think like that's a big deal Didn't even think about it. Didn't even think that it would be a thing I think I can afford to be really risky with them. Just have one. Oh, no one's that stupid. Yeah, I'll do that um Come back through you're gonna be my messenger And you're gonna bring me what is rightfully mine We've been here. We've been here. I haven't been there. We're not gonna do that, but we maybe do this Maybe we've got time to find out what he wants This guy's going to do this. I'm not spending any money in any buildings If we eat sultans The horn demons could be a thing as well, right because I've got the demon gate there We've got 15 there plus seven I've already got 22 So about 31 demons that I could turn into horn demons Uh, we could go for pit lords. Although that's not One of pit lords raising imps from the dead into demons could be a thing because we've got the demon gate And then we keep the demons basic as basic demons. That's actually not bad, won't you? But we would burn mercury And we need a mage guild level two Which burns mercury Whereas this just takes five mercury on its own. Okay, right. Yeah, still all my mercury though I haven't bought the devils yet. They take a mercury each to buy. Yeah So we need to be a bit careful with the old mercury. What does it cost to upgrade the demon gate? So I think that answers the question, right? But I don't need to do it now I could also talk about magogs I did a video talking about a tea list video of all the creatures I talked about how magogs are eff because I just never use them And I got a lot of people pushing back on that saying no, no, no, they're actually quite good Um, even in the vanilla game that we're playing here the shadow of death But I don't want to spend that five mercury on them anyway. So I might experiment with them later in the game, but um Don't think we're doing that pit stop. We've done tiva. Okay. I'd just like to do a quick round around the houses before we Sign off It's okay. I think we're doing all right Blue is out in the water. Okay, there goes the knoll's flail. That's nothing to be sniffed at that they've got that Decent army. Grendan now actually is a real boy Grendan's a real boy Tiva is useless. Hang on, who's this? Yeah, okay, that's the Linus. Who is that? Nobody Yeah, Thanesnip not gonna be able to get anything done. We've just got this too. We'll cover Even and and I mean even in a sneaky way even if you wanted to try to be sneaky I'm just looking for flotsam. There's nothing here that pointless Grab the demons and get your buck back down here Come back. Obviously can't do it now. Um Do that I can see the list of quests, right? How do I do that quest log? It's a handy little menu where you can just check to see what all of your objectives are I don't have either of those yet. I haven't seen where they are. So that's okay Well, does anyone else think that the prices you get from fulfilling the quests aren't quite It's like oh man, I tried I had to gallop across the galaxy to get to this to you I just realized you guys haven't been able to see me. Sorry for the last 20 minutes. Um So I don't know how long I've looked or how long you've been looking at the top of my head for Oh Family man kids Tell you what life gets in the way sometimes But uh, it's all part of the journey, right Do we find out what he wants? I think there's no way Fiona's not doing that on her way back up I want the pendentive dispassion in my younger days that have done this myself But I need your help a friend of mine recently had a family heirlooms heirlooms stolen and wants to find it Problem is the I love this language. The problem is that it looks exactly like the pendentive dispassion Why's that a problem? Why can't that sentence just be it is the pendant of dispassion? The problem is that it looks like This thing so can I bring you something that looks like that? Oh, I can please bring me any item that fits that description at all Even if the artifact's not the alien I'll reward your efforts why If you if you wanted the pendant of dispassion, why would you send me off to get something that looks a bit like it? And you'll still pay me even if it isn't the right one Why are they worded it that way? It's not like in the game you can give him something different and he still gives you money He says, oh well good try At least you gave it a good try. Here's your money. Am I crazy? It seems odd just very odd the way that the dialogues worded I think she can stay put and we can just end the turn You can just end the turn not he's not scary You're nobody one of these guys doing up here So grendan having done that he just stood there for a day Has a design on coming back down, but I'd really think it's a bad idea for her to do that And that actually doubles down on demons right staying put staying where they are because demons are great At sitting behind the gates and just being an absolute. Yeah, she can destroy us either one titan. They're up to titans now That does happen. I'm just going to make this a little easier just to read and look at Okay So if I set off today, I have 30 grand to spend So maybe the gogs should stay home Learn to become magogs one day. So it's just these three soldiers. I'm giving So I can actually just leave the stuff here that I'm not taking with It's fine, right and then I'll be faster on the way home Will I know because I'll have the imps Yeah, I know that Fiona's getting the server right you know that we know that much Devils have to stick together is now the time to buy them Is three enough or should I stay here with the devils and try to beat the liches liches I'll get it right Should I try and beat the liches without them? So that I can steamroll into five of them tomorrow or next week. I mean See if these get to 10 and these get to five That feels good It's 10 per week, right no four per week. So yeah, so 10 10 total these guys will be at five 10 and five is way better than six and three like it's not In proportion It's the snowball effect of this game, right? You want to get a big stack Of whichever creature it is by the way All right, and that and that's these decisions That go for sultans All right, so sultans would be really good against the liches, right? Burns the mercury, but that's maybe okay. How much better are sultans really? Is it worth all these resources? I'm on the fence with that. I'm not actually convinced that that's worth Doing I don't want to waste a dog trying to get his movement up. I'm just going to keep imps in the army instead I'll leave the rest of the stuff behind it can all be recruited and just sit here even without a hero If it has to be yeah, this is right. This is right. We'll set off Midweek Rashka get ready Josephine old firm Tiva New stick I've seen other boats up in this area and I'm worried that she's just a waste of space now. Is there any You know one thing I could do with Tiva is try to sneakily grab that gold mine Grab this mercury Grindens here though. He's gonna be annoyed with me Anyway, rashka. Well, how far up will you get tomorrow? So get to there But he has moves in hand so you probably get to about there So Fiona come on down babe Make sure of it Okay, that's a nice daisy chain. We're ready to rock all depends now on Is Iona Yeah, she's gotta beat the circuit All right, let's let's end the turn Come on now Who is that popping their head out? Okay. Here she comes. She's really gotta be in a poll, isn't she? Didn't make it very far though. She only got up to the stone mine It's about the time to say she still can't get to me. I don't think she comes here conquers this Is she gonna have enough moves that you can do this job? I don't think so I don't think this changes my strategy. I've decided that I've got enough stuff left over So I didn't quite get it right but close enough rashka Grab do some teaching man. Oh love it I'm still stuck with these slow guys as my guys We need to save some sprites Sprites are the answer to that problem The camera isn't pointing to the top of my head anymore. No, you still guys can still see me I don't know if being able to see me personally in the corner Helps the video makes it more interactive and fun. I'm not sure Um Oh, this guy rashka Look at him. He's traveled the lands far and wide gaining profound wisdom Um See there's some Knolls in here Are two Knolls worth a couple of his Movement points Okay, maybe Fiona goes does her thing and I'll think about defense. We'll do attack first and defense second Just walk around it. I think right that's the lesson we learned And we'll go hit the liches So let's go have a look first Lots of power liches now. What's the best layout here? I do have a haste up my sleeve. These have movement 10 which would go to 13 12 might not be quite enough to get there And then I have to decide what I'm doing on Turn one with the sultans quite wish me luck One stack Okay Can the devils get to him? No. Okay. I don't know I I don't know. I don't think there's a really good way out of this So I don't know about this doesn't feel right. I'm losing too many doggies. I think Yeah, six was it about four here If you killed six dogs Here's a good chance of losing a sultan if I do this Or I can just go wait and let all three of these Do their thing instead or there's no retaliation action Cop that so they do get one more turn. There's not two of them Six dogs. Okay six dogs and my spell points Now my rule of thumb is I don't take diplomacy because I just think it's the most busted part of the game is just Just far too good And I'm thinking about by the way Making a new rule after I've done since I did the tealest videos and talking to people out there town portal I think maybe town portal could do could be self-nerfed as well Um as in I'm not allowed to cast her or something like that I'm not gonna apply it this time, but it might not be relevant this time anyway But yeah diplomacy is just I never take it because I just think it breaks the game So she's an advanced armor. She is leveling up nicely Now The loss of the dogs Stinks, but I'm gonna get the sword first Strolling through the underground fiona With her expert scouting Spies a number having defeated the liches A number of powerful Armies guarding Incredible treasures. She's mentally exhausted, but she decides to start with Pack of horned demons which can be Probably kited. Yes Like belly pack, isn't it? Okay, so just kite factory Uh, you might as well wait to Why don't we all wait? We'll pile into this guy, I guess Maybe I'll be well, maybe I won't be I mean we'll just kite next turn right? Yeah I need to do anything boys You guys wait wait Only promises that they do get a morale flash will be exceedingly annoying one two three four five six Don't don't who is it this guy? Oh, I don't need him Love that animation man. Look at them sound effects two of them moving at the depth maybe it's just so cool All right red dragon flame tunnel. Let's see what it does as you are walking on a narrow path and nearby Bush suddenly bursts into flames But first before your eyes the flames become the image of a beautiful woman She holds out a magnificent sword to you. It was plus two and plus two. Well, that is handy. I'll take that that is better than Um nothing she had no other options in her right hand. So that's cool Scouting's doing its thing here. Can I beat a pack of dread knights? Do you reckon? No spell points Yeah, not without taking some serious damage casualties This is where the mysticism really would have actually mattered. It's a good example. I think mysticism would have mattered here What did I take instead? I took expert resistance And she hasn't fought any heroes. They've tried to cast anything on her. I'm just gonna keep going here. The throng event isn't a problem Why wouldn't I do this? One reason is that I haven't she's rejubed Yeah So this is a better looking Set up right for something like this Sorry Do nothing do nothing Shoot the little dudes magic elies are getting all the fun here Still that said Hasting our dog seemed good. Hasting the magic elementals doesn't work Hasting energy elementals could be good. I'm gonna go for it. I'm trying to remember how many slots she has left I don't know I'm gonna take it. Take the air magic Lots of swordsmen will die I will I will kill them Oh, that's useful. That's the I had that last campaign that gives you longer duration Which is exactly what she needs with blind. So that's really really good And I can actually fight this today Any reason to change our Loadout, I don't think so. Yes Crusaders online, but Too scary terrifying unit in large numbers, but that's okay. Sure. I love me some no retaliation man. I really do I can kill these two stacks This turn Let's try some e-free. How much damage are you gonna deal? Did some fire shield action happening too? Yeah, 27 damage. I mean you're enough Teeves, what could you do for us, babe? Well, there's something up there. What was that a boy? Okay So the answer is nothing. She can't do anything Happy with this still money is getting interesting. So money. Oh, no, hang on. I'm not happy. I've got to get ready for Iona So I think we already just start buying The rest of the stock here, right I could make magogs out of these now I got eight magogs Surely it's the one That's just the one Do I need the pink fiends yet? Oh, there's 30 imps here too. I just grabbed them Hopefully it won't matter though He says I don't think I can get to me So it's that army versus that. I think I'm pretty, I'm pretty safe there with that big pile of demons Behind the walls if she's stupid enough to do that same thing she did last time Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm Is that uh-oh here she is She is up for it? No, she's not. Okay. She just stands there. Maybe she ran out of moves though. I don't know So we have an incursion from Picadrammy's coming back with a slightly better army. So that's okay. All right, so I mean, he still can't get very far tomorrow, right? Like Josephine can only get to There so Picadram's only gonna be able to get to She can get to here He's gonna be able to get to about there Do I want to take that chance? I might as well just Hop in here I'm not investing yet though. He can't get to me today Tomorrow Kenny, what do you want to with this army? I've only got a citadel. Okay, we'll have to buy some stuff I'm not picking these in any particular for any rationale other than that. There's meat and archery Don't really want to invest here. I don't want to build a castle So behind a citadel can that be beaten? I mean another way to look at it is I could try to just tool up and go and beat him in the open Like if I lure him in and then ride out sally forth and I could do that by Going for either of these two upgrades. That's a very cheap upgrade. Isn't it? That's what a dragonflies are so good Get to them so quickly and easily 10 mercury forget it But for that one there I could have me nearly 40 or 36 dragonflies. That's just bonkersly good And what were they cost to buy so all in I'm looking at an investment of not very much to get all the dragonflies out Yeah, so piggy-drap stupid enough to come in here. I'm going to clean his clock clicking As though it's more amatode war I keep getting Ah, I mean you're stuck on the coast like that Okay, well here's at least a landmass I think this game where Tiva just okay. Okay, so this is a thing. Okay, so he's out of the picture Axis is the sacrificial lamb Seems good. Let's do that. I could get the XP Before I go Do I have time to do that and that and come to here go up to there? Yeah, I do right? I do. I actually have time to do this It's beautiful. I'll go to take the tactics I'm taking it I'm just going to take this You manage to find a vampire's resting place during the day and are able to slay him easily Just for good measure. You take his cow. Why not? It's just for in case we find a quest or something All right, get ready To give me your joke Who are you again? Yeah, nobody Okay, yeah, I'm not doing I'm not getting the water Now these okay you are the sacrificial lamb So you should be able to get there tomorrow. I'll move to here Okay, so if she takes the bait Axis dies she comes here flags this kills Axis And then I smash back with this against this It's gonna be messy, especially if she has tons of spell points Or she could do the siege again like she did before Just think I've got enough beef here. She's got really good chain lightning type stuff going on I think there's enough beef for the castle to hold and down here You know, Josie's gonna be fine. She's gonna be absolutely fine. Ideally he comes trotting down here and then we dragonfly Yep, so there's no need to invest is there a need to invest in the dragonfly hive now in case I also want to do more vans This is such a What does this cost up already? Oh my god. Are you serious? And then what do I pay for them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, so the capital cost of a serpent fly is actually solid is pretty Spicy, but the upgrade cost Of getting to dragons is such a bargain a thousand gold for the dwelling and practically nothing to upgrade them and they're insanely good for level three you get a speed 13 and they cast weakness and dispel damage two to five is maybe a bit mediocre for something at level three but Just their overarching stats and ability is just So so good. They're such a good unit serpent dragon dragonflies All right, I think I've set this up the way I want. So let's see what Josie what Iona does Yeah, what are you gonna do? You are doing the siege. I'll pause here I'll have to pause here and come back. Sorry Okay, pausing here. I'll be right back. How did they kill? Okay, so back sorry tons of distractions here today So I underestimated I think here I a few Titans was anywhere from one to three and she has three which stinks um Gargoyles and genies being able to fly over the walls. I maybe I didn't really fully think about that These guys don't care about the walls Too much either. Um, so I think we might lose this fight. I have no hero to counter her Her buffs obviously she's blinded these on turn one, which I'm not sure is the best use of the spell points Um, I think if we lose we're trying to cause as much attrition as possible to the army Maybe hopefully kill a Titan maybe two Um, that would be really good. So Depending on what she does after she's conquered the town I see that wasn't great I'll wait here as well We try and hit the genies. Do you think with the pit lords? I think I will Yeah, let's waste this imp to do that. So I've got two Yeah, these two units are gonna hit that And we don't want to give yeah, so if the genies led here and attack the demons, we'll find that Yeah, this is cool. I think genies are as good Retard good as any Could go for the obsidian's We're only gonna kill a few I wish it stayed up to perish. That's actually quite good Take a bit of that in the face. I do love the animation of um The water elementals how they slap the guy in the face with their tail And a bit of tearing on the old GUI here. Only one perish is here and this is the big payoff. Come on now pit little pit fiends. Can you do? All right, that feels pretty good Okay, not bad not bad Yeah, that's fine. Happy with that Sure 24 perish that's a very nice move by them Work the imps over I think we just try to hold on here. How many of these are left one with 15 spell points? Okay, we'll come up here to try and deal with that next turn Although the gogs are probably gonna have to waste their turn jillian. Yeah, that's a shame although When do these act next turn? It's gonna be more of the same next turn Oh, no, do you hate to be come on? Can we kill one? 28 it's not enough 7 12 Six of them go down. Yeah, too good Think it's just defense mode now for everybody now that we're blinded Okay, why not just hold tight. Let's see what we can get done before we die Yes, kill one. All right Might even get a second one before the game's over Demon online 25 of these now is it worth it or should I just defend myself The question is how quickly will the gogs I need to move them just right away um So they have about 250 400 hp's worth. Oh, I'm doing massive damage to them I think we go for this right 17 perish and they kill none in the crack back. I under estimate demons. I sometimes get my Perception of the stack size is wrong cure. How many hp did that did that heal? He's back to full health. Anyway Come on now 49 still four turns away before we kill an x demon, but man, uh tighten anything Okay, that stinks. That's so annoying. You know, he's gonna flap back up there. He's fine that right like we just do this reason to Stand here There isn't right like if someone stands here. We're just gonna line the imps up to get in their way Um, he could stand here in anticipation though. Maybe I'll do that Yeah, let's just wait and see if either of them want to step on to the pattern So that is yes So, all right, let's do it this way That's okay, son. You just hold tight I'm just gonna stand here because I think That's the only access point once they've killed that stack I don't go up the tighten anymore Now the nagers are in although Why don't she actually act next? So if she comes in and stands here, I could get some attacks off on the naga queens That's a sad Yeah, it's a good hit I've got my impi boys Are going to trigger That was a lucky catapult. That was a very lucky catapult Don't do anything Take the retaliation You die Let's do that. It might matter Hold tight here Um, yeah, come here do this You're not dead yet Just a waste of shot Yeah, in case I'm in short range, I'm just gonna move back now Now who do I want to go for these? I can do 10 to 20 damage This is fine. This is actually all right because it saves the lives of the demons You know, I might just pull this off Not enough And I act first In fact the gogs act before the gobs But these are just going to die out. They was 200 on damage. Yeah Your history son Okay, that stinks. Yeah, okay. All right, well 10 to 20 damage doesn't really seem like That's worth it You still got to kill 27 demons. You got no spell points left That's a long way home. What are these run out of shots anyway? Shots 24, okay I'm just staying back All my arrow towers are intact I have that back at you right back at you. Sonny boy. I've still got this water elemental By the way, you gotta kill her too before you take the town I'm gonna win I'm gonna win this fight Unless they can kill the arrow tower that stinks actually losing four gobs a turn Is there a world where I march out? Surely into short range Yeah, but I can deal. He's got defense 30 versus attack 10 It's gonna be very hard to get anything done against them as can Yeah, I don't think I want to believe them I've got no reason not to shoot. I may as well do the nine damage. Do you stay put? That's proper damage Yes Yes You know, you're committing suicide You need to flee Maybe she's worked it out that she can do one more turn of God killing Oh man, I'm so happy with that I'm so happy that it worked out What are you doing? You need to flee We must flee She's gonna die Blue is gonna lose Iona I don't get that, I don't get that Why would the AI do that? Why wouldn't it flee? That's annoying like it's It is a glorious victory and I'm very proud of it if I'm honest But it doesn't make sense Why would she stick around? Why wouldn't she flee instead of taking that last turn? I'm gonna eat a Maltese or chocolate here to think about it Run off Is Iona a hero? I don't know Alright, well with that victory Blue is surely broken Blue is a broken Shadow of its former self And it's ready to be conquered So rather than Wait around We can probably just gallop in here now Well then yes, day seven So there's a new day one coming Instead of three Titans being high back there So maybe I shouldn't be too cocky Risk of cockiness is quite high Alright, come on Tiva What can you do? Nothing as usual So I can give Axis the army the way we planned I don't need it to beat Uland though Silver spy just feels like it's gonna be open But it is day seven And I think you could back them to have enough Soldiers, that said Maybe we fight the soldiers Behind their castle walls We use our army Right, I'll have six devils Ten efreet Even though they stink I have to make a decision about this as well I'm going to tag him now Or I can wait till tomorrow He might gallop back up here though On his day seven to go and refresh It'd be nice to go and get him now wouldn't it Okay, let's do that I think that's a more pressing priority I'm happy to make that investment now How do we match up? Thirty-six Twenty-four and twelve It's still a bit On the tight side Six wyverns Okay, I'll take six wyverns with me I don't think I need these nulls though right I don't know what I'm doing In case it wasn't obvious What am I trying to do? I'm mucking around here What am I trying to get done? Something like that That's what I want Right, don't ask questions Does she have a spell or book even? She does, okay Right, now this really matters Blinding someone I pick a dram Time has come, my son He's got two alignments So what do I want to do? Or a spawn? Do I have any Dispel and cure I do? So if he does something nasty He doesn't, he just waits Okay Who has the ranged in front, aren't he? He's gonna shoot first He's doing my reason to act Okay, that's actually pretty good No world, no morale Nothing matters Look at these, they're all like Existentially just there going Yeah, I'll just walk out and die It doesn't matter What's the point of anything? They're like totaling meh Both sides just like Swinging the gnolls, swinging his flail It doesn't matter, I might die You might die, we're all doomed in the end What should I do? Should I move? I guess I should defend the Lizard men But this is in the way I'm not gonna be able to defend it with Everything, yeah well the gnolls Could walk down and... I'll use all of these to defend the Lizard men Then these three are gonna do stuff There's no one slower than me I guess I'll shoot the griffons That has value Why don't you come in You might be of use to me Right, you go down here The basilisks are going to go here So these guys might survive The first hit from the griffons And then still annoyingly be standing there Afterwards Sorry, gargoyles, griffons, whatever I'm gonna come flying over Yeah, this seems okay Oh, maybe not if all of these get to go first You guys speed 7 Right, so I'm fast enough to I'm not fast enough to do nothing I'm speed 7 as well I'm speed 9 I don't know what to do Come on, let's just clock ourselves I still haven't cast a spell yet I'm not going to heal You bastard, so I don't even get you Have a sod Look at that Gorgeous Well played, sir I didn't even get a first turn Very well played That's a ninja move by the AI Brilliant move So I could blind myself But I think it's better to cure He's out of points now He's a fire mage as well That didn't cost him 10 So when do they act I have 12 dudes I'll struggle to kill one of them I'll kill about 4 of them So I might just wait with you Okay You can cast weakness on these We'll be in range of him though So if I go here Weakness these, I can go here Again, it's unclear whether I'll kill one That's 6 griffons and weaken them That seems very good Now if she wants to But she's had her turn so I'll act again before her Yeah, I just like this I like this, I just don't think these matter enough Very nice move by the AI there To deny me a turn one with the dragonflies That would be really clever I still have my turn here So you can do this and be happy Gargoyles will make contact with us That's all right Yeah, that's not perfect Because the cavity is getting off the turn If I end up blinding them I'll feel really strong That was retarded So that happens It's all just starting There's that He had a magic arrow Obviously That's also going to hurt How many died? They're so good man, naga queens Good god I'll just finish these off because I didn't even finish them off Okay, well can I shoot? No, they've woken up anyway So that's an untested thing I just don't know the answer to If I act first, my guys have naturally come out of the blind So that's very nice You're out of spell points Now are the girls off all turn next turn? I think yes right, speed 7 I can't tell So they might be back on next turn I don't know, that's very good But why then stand here You know and try to keep the little Dragonflies alive The weakness is very good So the weakness, that's cool The weakness is actually in play with four They retaliate So that's another really important thing About dragonflies We got two left No okay, so standing next to someone Who is petrified doesn't Allow you to shoot I think I can lose this fight They're awake I can kill a cavalier They're petrified I do down here If I go there, she could I want to wake them up, that would be pointless Kill a cavalier Okay, no retaliation from that One left Like hell One perished 1.5 I can do as many here Oh, what happened there? I know there were 7, 7 would go to 6 Sorry, I thought it would stack at 20% Right We're back in the room I know I'm paying a big price Like 5 flies for that But this is our payoff We'll get a nice big hit on the queens Surely kill at least one Shouldn't be too bad Might kill another one Don't lose another one to that Yeah, that's actually better, isn't it? Now that you've woken up Welcome back to the real world Oh, yeah, pretty useless Okay, that's the end of that 15 boys left though Right down to the wire, man 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 And you'd miss, so I'm going to try I think they could just chase after me Yeah, no, I'm an idiot, I don't even I don't even see that There's no attack there, I didn't have an attack Interestingly, he didn't attack At first, he tends to actually be Pain in my backside as well Like what if I cast weakness here And then Y turns into an air I give myself a chance of getting his shooting back again Yeah, it's a decent result Yeah, but I can't think what else to do So I'm just going to do that It's not time to flee yet, because I'm not If I kill him, she'll walk there And then kill me If I hold my ground, she kills me The warrior's run for it Maybe have a chance Okay, I think my only option is to See if the AI makes a mistake And shoots the Ballista killed it Oh, there's really no hope now, is there? There's no hope, so we'll just do this Look at that, no melee penalty Five of them are able to keep Josephine I think I did, which is pretty good Oh, he won by two Nagas, man Will I get another turn if I do this Five perished last time So I'm going to gamble I didn't kill anyone That is for shameful Happy camper Northwestern regions is where the Grail is I don't know about these idiots Well We kind of traded armies there I had the advantage and I lost the 2,500 gold I guess it wasn't too bad If he comes down and cracks So she won't have any spell points, but I'll have the Citadel Which will be more than enough Yeah Can't win them all Now, what did I decide? That was a sidecar That wasn't even the main storyline That was a side quest What the heck was going on over here? Do we remember what I was actually going to do? Grab these elementals She's going to come galloping down Give you the stuff so she'll do that first I'd love to give her the 50 spell points Don't want to waste a turn And stay the night I could always do that over here Come on down, babe Rapture Take the Conflux Stuff That's the core of what we're going to use to kill the Black Knights The Dread Knights Now in addition, you have no spell power But no do I You can't blind a Black Knight So I'm going to keep all this stuff for myself Okay, all the speed Speed speed This is a story about Fiona You can take this piece of garbage That can be your thing Yeah, happy with this He is going to prepare For day one Up here, in fact, he can give this army to you Let's keep her galloping At a healthy pace It's a weird little swap over we're doing here I don't see this very often How many moves will she have after that? None I don't think there's any reason for these two to talk to each other But as we just say hi Take these, I guess Say hello Warmest regards Rapture, you are the messenger So give me this stuff Access of evil No, I don't want you to have Yeah, I think that just dies Okay Access can wait here For more psychic elementals Rapture waits for more fire elementals Josephine, Lixar, Wounds Tiva does nothing at all I don't invest in any new dwellings Or anything like that Before the beginning of the next week Like firebirds and stuff Are still way out of reach Gorgons, not doing that I need to save my money I need to save my wages tomorrow That's it What is that? Who's that? Wolf Raider I shouldn't matter, I don't think any of us are doing that Who are you? Still captain nobody If you can hear my dog going berserk On the floor rubbing around Can you just behave yourself? Just sit down Take it easy I know it's exciting What's going on is he here? I'm the player and it's day one So I can just come out and kill you now This is another thing that we could Maybe think about changing for the next campaign Is The advantage you get by being player one Even right over colour you pick You always have the first move Every week So here we are on day one His castle is full of new fresh troops So is mine But every single week I'm the one who gets to go first And it's a massive advantage Look what I can do I can just pop out Undo all of this easily Send him on his way Whereas if He was going first I wouldn't have that advantage So anyway this is a pretty easy thing I just have to figure out what's the minimum Investment required to get this job done So maybe I should just do it Because it is easy He won't have developed any more spell points or anything I take these That's magic arrow He was on zero So this guarantees I get the first turn 31 for that 63 He does his thing Utterly embarrassed by him It's like what you had three spell points How do you magic arrow off three spell points I didn't know you could do that I know you're threatening to deal massive legitimate damage to me Oh my god Alright she's 110 Holy am I going to lose I spent all that money They're just two naga queens Like come on They're not going to deal any damage to me I'm going to have to kill them the hard way I know I only have two lightning bolts up my sleeve in the first place Blinds no good I'm going to have to get started and pile in To figure out how to do this Josephine I'm so disappointed I'm so Disappointed He found a way to kill the last two Like I deserve everything that's going to happen I'm going to lose three of these Finally The nolls are actually going to deal some damage to her Can I kill her this way I'm not sure of it There's obstacles in the way I can't get them both in there 6 6 perish 21 points of damage You're not going to run Why do I need to run? I have supermen On my team Alright there's a dead basilisk Now he runs Look at the losses Are you serious I feel like an utter loser An utter loser That was Shameful That was the most ridiculously bad Series of combats I have fought I'm not blaming Josephine completely I blame myself That Just felt so bad I prepared so badly I fought the first fight quite badly Although he pulled an amazing move Double blinding me And then the secondary fight Was woeful We've got to try and recover from that Who are you? What are you doing? This is a nuisance but We don't want to waste too much time chasing these guys around Let them have our stuff We can hire a secondary hero to mop this up He says confidently I've got this Give them to me Ratchet can be that Hero I'll come with you now We'll do that together Axis of evil I would indeed We don't want to wait around We want to Get moving What do you like spell power wise 40 got you full 40 You're not the greatest warrior In the history of Pugilism are you One and one I forgot now Much of a disadvantage man The heretics Why can't I do that? People like you People like you Don't know that an upgraded Pire requires an upgraded Alter of air requires an upgraded Alter of fire requires an upgraded Alter of air I can't do the thing I want to do The main one thing that I really want to do I guess I could go for The upgraded lightning elementals Which everyone online In my other videos where I've talked about All the creatures and everything and I Everyone loves lightning elementals man Like they're the biggest deal Storm elementals I don't think they're that great I'm going to live without them I don't like any elementals if I'm honest Do I want to waste a turn And by the way spend quite a lot of money I have to do two separate How much money is that? 3.5k and some mercury which is precious 7 mercury Do I need to? Do I need to? He has no artifacts So I'm not faster than a dread knight Anyway I don't think Energy elemental is faster than a dread knight Having said that We don't want to go off half baked With a half thought out strategy Like I did before So maybe it is a good idea to This will be 37 energy elementals That does seem ok I also have the pyre available But if I do all that I won't be able to do The other things I want to do with Fiona This is the perfect opportunity To spend the night It really is isn't it? I'm going to be pretty tired by the time I get there Spend the night go up to 50 spell points Yeah look at her That's pretty ideal That's not visited but I don't take the chance That I'll miss out How many squares of movement This is one Two three How many squares of movement have I got on road One two three four five six seven eight Nine ten That's one two three four Five six seven eight Can we do it folks Is it worth it To get there before Ulland Is it a gamble worth taking Done that feels good Actually I had some to spare So there you go Right give me all this Get rid of this now Did a good job for us though to be fair And I'm not going to buy anything Because I'm not leaving I'm going to wait until tomorrow Get my spell points With that in mind I've got another 10 grand coming tomorrow 11 grand coming tomorrow The soldiers here cost She's definitely leaving tomorrow So how crucial is it that I get I don't think I need the pit fiends Right because they all died The horned demons Will be quite Unnecessary That's still okay though I could get magogs and try that Because everyone reckons magogs aren't nearly as bad as I could See them Five mercs Upgrade the dudes Get these Leave the pit fiends It's about six grand What's he got to beat So with six grand he's got to beat It's fundamentally a game of economics He's got a pack of dread knights He's already got a pack of magic ellies So even that's a pretty even fight Then he opens Pandora's box He can easily beat these two things So how would you spend six grand Well these guys on their own Cost six grand? What a rip off What an absolute rip off people Maybe okay they're in their storm elementals Their storm elementals are probably going to cost Like seven and a half or eight grand For twenty seven These are a bargain Twelve hundred I know they're weaker If I invest big proper money in this I just need to get him down there doing his thing Sixteen of these are really really good This feels like a bad break now And this costs nothing These will do something meaningful against the Dread Knights I betcha Especially the ability to do this You know So how much money did I spend already there And you can count that it's probably about Two grand was it? Two and a half So with an extra four grand Do you want to bother doing something like that Sixteen extra elementals to Just hang out Beyond the pitch Not really I need this money for tomorrow if you want to use that money So you can wait another whole day As in I can finally walk on there and see what's in there Ooh you come across a lavish shrine Attended by a group of high priests in exchange for your protection They agreed to teach you a sophisticated spell Hypnotised Sadly hypnotised isn't very good This will be very irritating If you text that to online That's what I should be using her for Rather than hopelessly searching for stuff But all this stuff's guarded Okay we happy with all that Alright Uland The fracture is going to come and kill you with Imps Yeah Uland runs for it Blue and purple are fighting over Gold mines that's quite good Although I worry that blue's winning Becoming stronger but Fiona's about to Introduce herself to the conversation Right Let's get the stuff we know We absolutely have to get Okay that's looking better I had thought it would be six That really stinks that it isn't Two grand For the extra gogs The upgrade costs one grand Which leaves two and a half Will the two and a half be enough to do the Magog upgrade And by the way I can't have my demons The other thing I can do is set off And do a day two deal Where Racture comes out and gives her The rest of the stuff He's gonna sail off anyway into the sunset So that might be the way to go I worry too much I need to get it right though Alright let's do this Let's just see how much does that It's expensive to upgrade them They're not cheap are they All you people out there who think they're good I don't think it matters which way around I do this I can't afford it But I can't get the demons so I didn't predict that I can't get the Imps either Alright 40 Magogs They look good, they look mean They've got much better speed 24 shots instead of 12 is something Health is maybe the same Or slightly better I don't know So she at 50 she is We've done that, we got that
