 Okay, we're back. Yeah, I was getting a bit emotional there just really Proud of libitha, you know what what she's become what she's done for us You can't get too emotionally attached to certain heroes though because things can go south she could be defeated but I'm really really happy with how this is all panned out the combination of Grand elves and resurrection with expert earth magic and expert slow Really that's been the backbone of everything that we've done so far so Today At the end of today. My hope is that we'll be able to come down here and capture the fortress That's down here on day one without them having time to reinforce And that will be orange. Hopefully right on the back foot Just vitamina that undead army is the next thing to worry about She though went sailing off up here, and there's an acropolis through this gate here So we could see a really nasty necropolis army arrive here, but I have town portal and I might have time to go around town porthole and around to get reinforcements before that actual fight happens So fingers crossed. We'll see what orange has to offer I had thought maybe about trying to Consolidate here because we have galar holding Energy elementals, maybe we could do this. I thought about even garden of life I don't think I want to start building up pixies again City hall has to wait until I can afford it So I'm gonna do this I've invested now in water and fire so we'll see We'll see. Let's just see Here comes red. There's a green here. I poked his head out orange is now back in the sand area So I'll deal with this first Now gash now has a pathetic army To explorers sent into an area they've already been to so this suggests orange is running out of ideas Very very encouraging Green stuck his head she would be cut he thane would be kind of scary if he were to Dimension door over or whatever, but we've seen him he killed. We know what level he is. He's not very high level There's no way any of these are That's right there. There's no one in it. It's not about trying to capture. It's about just capturing Spell power is good at this point because we will start wanting we will be wanting to start implosion Pretty promptly It's free mighty Gorgons here. She goes to the cage of warlords and They're in we learn extra defensive skills Not that we need of them with a internal shield My word and you can see this is a key advantage of being the player and there's no way to change this actually in the Set up of the game at least in the vanilla game. Maybe there is in the Wake of gods sort of scripts or expansions and stuff You are the first person to act each day. You're always team the first team to act What that means is on day one? You can snipe you can you can you can pounce on the AI Grab all of it in theory. I could buy all these right now Okay, if I was if there was a one in front of this, I probably would do that But anyway, yeah, just to say this is quite hard to get the mighty Gorgons It's it's quite expensive to upgrade that to get that I thought or saying That's weird. It's showing me the cost The reason it's expensive is you need this first. You need a resource silo before you can build the Corgan way But yeah, this is a really well-developed town obviously So long as we are not under any under any pressure we can always town portal back to the conflicts So I think that's what I'm gonna do. I'm not gonna buy any of those troops at least not with her And we're gonna go for yeah, this is all connected by road. So Come to here. Okay, so they're in massive trouble now Don't think I want to waste that's two moves to get to that. I don't think I waste my Time on that Be another town down around here, so I could just stand here and threaten them with extermination Nagash can't get back to here today. I don't think so. Yeah, I'm happy to actually just do some exploring What is that? Cyclops cave. Okay, so there's a stronghold down here That hasn't been conquered should just maybe go for the observatory. I didn't actually see that there I think that makes the most sense, right? If Nagash somehow manages to get up here with a while carrying walking dead around Very unlikely So I'm minded to just stay in this area with LeBeath now can always down portal. She's in just such a strong position Do this stay in the area. I need to defend against group that green hero I don't know what that what she's bringing But I'd like to stay out as long as possible. Obviously do this some of the easier things It's free money there Free money in Mercury. I could just go get that now Yeah, why not let's get the money 600 bucks Why the AI didn't look there? Goodness knows We have free imps to avail ourselves of as well Just for the fun of that Okay, this all triggered who needs to get a move on come to here. I don't know if I'm actually gonna buy them though today Yeah, probably the key question is now Gela and Just managing the risk from her she comes galloping over to challenge him with a big army That could get quite hairy Will it work? Will I just throw my elementals away for no good reason? Let's find out. I like to leave the animations at default speed Most other people I've seen online Playing the game have everything at maximum speed and like creatures just goes out of flip from one end of the field to the other Um, but yeah, it's something about it. I just prefer Yeah, kill this one And then if I go here There's no point doing that is there just don't want to lose one. That's all willing to spend a little bit of money Not blind. Of course 84 points of damage should be enough to stop To stop me losing one. Can't be excuse me. I'm just drinking my tea here. Do you? 316 experience. I think that's fair Leadership's probably not really his thing Elementals. All right, so I have no idea. I don't this could be suicide So I'm going first they have speed eight these have speed six. Okay, cool So what I'm thinking is forgetfulness and I just go around the map How far can you get with seven? Okay, so I go here They all just start walking there How many did I kill? I'm gonna kill two. Okay. I'm gonna lose one or two here. I think unless I use spells And how good is forgetfulness? Fantastic. I could bless them four to six, you know Can't clone Mirth's not interesting Blind is there 157 damage would kill two Less weakness is an option Let's have a look at what weakness is gonna do. Attack skill 15 minus six to Attack power might be better just to bless right still haven't lost him yet When am I replenishing spell points? A while How much damage does it do? 115 so 230 so I'll kill one from each stack Quite a torn here I don't know how much of a premium to put on my spell points Could just do ice bolt that kills two So I can run away here ice bolt. They all walk up to me And then make a decision next to I don't love it Let's see Can he walk up and actually attack me? Yes, good. Okay. I'm actually happy with that I'm like in terms of the way that the rules work because It would just be way too good, right? If I forget full unit all it could do is walk up to you and then wait until it's next turn So same formula again seems fine six yep So bolt you to One two three four five six. I think we're fine here The guy with four can't reach is the other guy comes up and gets killed in retaliation And then on the last turn it's ice bolt into alpha strike. It took seven extra damage I wonder what that means exactly We've got some experience I have that someone has that Guess who Right, so remember that libita has the ring of hotel um Is it better for me to go underground and keep moving? No, okay. Well, I might leave them there actually because that's Giving me a bit of protection plus Oh, forgetfulness would be hilarious here It's for the win man forgetfulness. It's waiting on All right, okay. You can stay there. We'll see what happens these guys Can't be killed in one turn. So I don't need to worry about splitting them up and stuff um Right what needs to be bought We don't know if there's another orange hero floating around here so something to Just dissuade shenanigans These things I kind of love buying um Because they're just so tanky health 70 Is just really so for a tier five unit health 70 Wait, am I overreacting? I don't think I am like it's really solid, right? I mean, I'm happy to buy these and just have them sit there behind the walls for now until I'm ready to make a decision Solid solid unit, but let's say I lose the town and they buy all the stuff in it I'm just not that I'm not going to be that sad Okay, so that's that decision made I love that music the fortress music so dramatic Oh, we're not under any immediate threat at the conflux We could wait to buy a lot of these things You know what I mean like in order to collect these troops we're town portaling Oh, which by the way has she given she hasn't had a chance to give the town portal scroll to someone else Don't think anyone else knows earth magic well enough. He doesn't know it at all This guy is level three basic scholarly. I never really I probably should have got someone else started on earth magic if I know I can't remember if I had an opportunity to He can just go Shopping he can go off and get started on the shopping spree right Because he has to do the lines So why don't we send him? Up to get the unicorns But there's no rush with this. I don't think Um Come back up get the gold from the waterwheel Yeah, surprising that In this environment of frozen Arctic conditions that waterwheel would actually be spinning Generating revenue Whatever the energy from the movement of the wheel is used for Surely doesn't work, but anyway, so he did his job. He could come here and get this cracking We've well and truly abandoned the idea of earth elementals. I think like there's no hero that's going to want them So we're kind of banking here a little bit We're ready to hire wherever is needed. I still think there's a chance red could really surprise us and just show up dimension door over to our base and Put us in a tough spot hire everything Take the conflicts office hire everything stuff like that can happen in the late game where you're just like Oh, you know, you just blown away and then let's say I lose this complex. How do I get back to it to recapture? It's really hard Like I'd have to go back to the rampart and gallop all the way across the underground I'd have to go up from here all the way down to here Where is it? Down to here From there, that's how I'd get that's how I'd have to get back. It would take me a whole day and a half to get back To try to recapture it But sometimes what yeah, I will do is I'll dimension door over and then they'll gallop around flagging your Wooden stuff and that will give you time if you're a town portal hero It'll give you time to get back They don't tend to snipe as well as humans, you know the human player would Um, and I'm minded here to take the there is a castle here, so I don't know that is expensive Do this just to make life difficult for anyone who does show up um It's easy enough to upgrade the energy to get the energy elementals when the time comes And I'm also kind of half leaning towards the city hall now These guys will probably just run away from the beat there Okay Red here's tan haven't seen you for a while Oh, you're going that way. Oh, you're trying to get the inferno back. Are you that didn't even occur to me Look how close she was Gretchen Gretchen Gretchen Gretchen. What is this nonsense? And still the few skeletons ruining your morale like Troops of three alignments including undead like for like you've got two skeletons Well, it's just gonna make I mean she's gonna die anyway, right? I can town portal gal about of here murder her portal back to the fortress Do this first I could even do this first who are you how much movement do I lose a lot? Okay See distant lands Okay, there's a stronghold down here. I have a feeling no one has claimed. Haven't they claimed this if they've claimed the Stronghold why haven't they also claimed the stuff? Strange. Okay, I think we've got to do it Do a bit of this bit of that So the gold dragons red has gold dragons after these two are dead I could hire a hero here to start doing all the stuff exploring all this blah blah blah Or I could use this guy to do it All right, he can go to here Use the blue portal use the green portal come down to the fortress He's a slimy. He's a slimy sausage himself. So he'll have a good time tromping around the swamp Even though he's a dungeon guy, right? He's not actually a fortress guy It's happening This isn't really worth a hero these three things Just stand here and do this that as well, but It's not really worth it Now I can troll the portals. I can just bring Still doesn't know any spells yet Dear idea Think I've got to do this Shackles on Don't use too much move and see that's a lot of move which is just used So I'm gonna let that other little ranger girl with no army. I'm gonna let her live Nagash just has an annoying level of spell points as well. So It never fails. Yep Nice bulk, but it's even stupider than haste. I don't know. Everyone's waiting. Didn't you get the memo? Oh, that could have been annoying if he did. I forgot about that Like I could have moved the unicorns to there kind of thing to just stop him getting a death cloud, but He wouldn't have killed anything anyway, I don't think Um, yeah, so just space ourselves out a little bit here. Probably gonna kill them Half a strike on turn two Phoenixes can just kill one. I've got so many What's got the most hp? It's 180 240 P. Oh, that's probably the most. Yeah, that's got about 700 and something Just get stuck into them These guys I guess Does about a hundred and something damage just kill this dragon Sometimes when you have such An ascendancy over your opponent, it's almost embarrassing You can be the most unlucky phoenix in the history of phoenixes Oh, don't forget resurrection Yeah, oh no gash isn't gonna get monotone No I didn't think that was a kill How good is four magic elementals? I just lost eight elves. I feel so stupid. It's really wanting me to be an air mage Sorcery seems okay with implosion. Oh, that's annoying Don't like losing elves. Labitha prides herself on not losing elves It's what she does Right town portal to the inferno gallop out here and kill this Eventually red is gonna come and surprise me. I just know it I can't do anything about that though. I've got to do it. I got to do with what I Do what I can with what I've got on the board as it stands Long way to go for unicorns, isn't it? Just how good a call was that? Oh Sorry, but I'm quite proud of myself there for figuring out that I couldn't kill that ranger I feel quite like I feel like that's worth um, sorry. I've probably come across as a bit conceited there, but uh Rather proud of myself figuring that out Don't need any inferno any other stuff before I ride out. I don't think so shackles are on Gretchen Gretchen another one of these mediocre All right, same old formula slow Do I care what gets tasted no weight with everything? Cerberus your first Have you waited okay? Oh 50 magogs actually hurts pretty hard What taking a bit of damage here? Let's just walk out Should I just leave this to the phoenixes to do fly and fly out I didn't check the damage there. I should have Come on out here. I guess I could kill these See this is the problem with wolf raiders 10 hp 10 For a level 2 unit like they strike twice and they're really fast and everything decent skill But health 10 means that they just their goblins on Wolves, you know, well, I suppose they literally are that but they just don't do enough Now they're dead. This whole stack is gonna die to 10 unicorns It seems Well, they're just not that good. I don't know how many magogs will die to the phoenixes. That's the thing I think it could be worth shooting them So on my next turn I just win 400 damage 350 damage Okay, no they need shot. Okay. All right. All right. So just kill these Yeah, let's just wait and see what spell they cast run away I assume you can't reach me wait Yeah I had all the time I could just resurrect it before I didn't I thought oh wait Yeah, I'll let you cast a spell before I make any decisions You're not going to cast a spell 20 spell points. You're not gonna do anything. Okay. I think you're probably dead now. I'm not gonna be silly, but Just try there. There's no way I could possibly screw this up again. Is it unbelievable? Eight brave elves died needlessly She'll carry that on her conscience even though regardless of all the other elves whose lives she's brought back So that's devastating for green. That's really really bad. I could tell portal again today, but She might use up all her movement and be stuck in wherever she lands so Well, if that's the case, let's go to somewhere safe and spend the night and recover like the rampart Pick up everything that's there. Alomar comes back with the stuff not fast enough Boom boom. Yeah, he's not fast enough But she can pick up whatever's here There's a bit here to pick up Spend the night in the mage guild seems right to me So she's out of moves But who wouldn't want to spend the night in this lovely forest setting Misty cold rain outside, but you're snug and cozy in one of these little huts What could be better? She deserves a night off actually. She deserves to kick back a cup of coffee, a cup of cocoa actually Okay replenish those fallen brethren soak in that, you know Lovely sound of forest Should you buy a first aid tent? Or like just get in my way Oh First aid tents can sometimes be annoying then get in the way make it harder to defend Harder to defend your archers if the tent is in the way Don't know that idea right Valeska. You're doing your thing Come on over we're gonna do that this week as well I'm getting the boat Probably more efficient to go here first and then leave. Yeah So this is a decent army. I'd be bringing over right Continue her investment. I regretted buying these Titans, but now that I've bought them And given that the tower is under no threat whatsoever Four Titans eight Narkas. She'd be a real pain in the backside down here. She'd be really useful and annoying Looking to get heroes over that way So I'm gonna go for it red might punish us but worried that red is scaling away from us and Kingdom army strength orange still has the strongest army. That's the undead army We're behind red on kingdom army strength Um, it's a bit scary Tan is all but dead, but I'm interested to see what That army ends up looking like sorry Thought dump here, but um So I think this is what we do These guys have to stay at home now Um Libetha can come and grab them though Um, which she can do tomorrow once she's finished spending the night So I must remember that she's going to pay a visit to the tower There's an opportunity for her to Give the leskism artifacts Right Like that speculum could be useful and the ring of life She could give her that Centaurs axe Oh, no, I don't need the centaurs axe right? Yeah, I don't need the centaurs axe And I don't need That's a cape of conjuring So that would not work So if a leska waits around for a day, that's what we're saying I think we're okay By the stuff I want these more than I want to know because I can't really explain why that is This is my army. It's a lot of money to drop in it That's what you call splashing the cash I don't have any other income coming tomorrow, do I? These are cheap, but She's an expert archer. I just don't think you can say no, right? Feels kind of dumb Not interested in these two Your job can be to defend them Libetha could buy you the cart and bring it out to you. How about that? Why don't we do it that way? Ooh, lots to work out lots to work out Do this Being recklessly Hey Bob, let's go Hang on, just draw the string back Wait I forgot I forgot I forgot how to use this thing. Do you know what to do? I don't know what to do We'll just walk up to him instead Now I'm a bit concerned. I don't think yeah health 14. I'm not going to actually be able to kill that many using the elementals So I'm a little concerned here. I was hoping that I'd be able to Snipe in snipe out kind of thing What's next? Maybe Frustering does 115 so that won't kill that many. It'll kill quite a few of them Waste nine spell points though Expert curse would be good here These guys, lizardmen, hate curse and they love bless Bless my guys At the moment I'm dealing killing about 10 of them Oh, I'm not probably goes up to Yeah, I do think he's gonna have to waste some mana to I think I was a bit more 24 is not really enough of an army to Truly dominate with is it? I mean how fast can you move man? You can't get to me, no? I might kite because they might all group together though. The AI won't avoid frostering now I don't think yeah They won't play around frostering Frostering's not even that good though. Yeah, it's all mana though, isn't it? It's more mana that I wanted to spend sorry. You can't see my face I'm leaning forward like kind of Miserably going At least we got a chance to cast frostering No chance of you guys splitting up a bit Two three. Yeah, you got there Well, the morale flash was always on the cards. Oh, he did pathetic damage. That's good. I can fly with You had defenced. No, let's finish these guys Not casting a spell this turn, but that's okay. I don't want to waste Hopefully if I just you obviously want to leverage this as much as possible Yeah, so the lizard man really didn't hurt me anyway new as much as I thought He can't even get to me they remembered They remembered how to shoot This is not good Come here Kill quite a lot of them Soften them up a bit first. I think that's good enough. I think I probably will lose one elemental to be Shots fired that sucks that it's him first. Never mind. I still haven't lost one. Here's one down surely Health left 11 Go you champion How much did those archers do last time three and three? I think he's gonna live Live damn you live Two damage two damage not enough Seven left You can do another two to me Look at all these poor guys with their feet sticking up like Didn't know they'd be up against a tricky water mage None Tons of mana lost though Finally. Oh my god. Okay, so that means he will eventually be able to learn something Uh, he has the intelligence Yeah, take the spell. Oh, I forgot this was here. Sorry. I didn't even see that That was the I could have just wasted all my spell funds doesn't matter Right. I actually thought these were connected. So there you go. That's that must be connected to this which you get to via A completely different part of the map that's completely off limits to me at the moment. Okay, great That's interesting So a nice little mini game there I have water elementals to bring back to you. I can do this There you go. That's something Plop them there Come back out again because the beta will want to land there tomorrow And ta-da and this always feels good when you have every hero exhausted at the end of the day Everything's as it should be. LaBeetha's nice and safe. She's spending the night Green has had another hero destroyed. Yeah This is good. Got a plan for Valeska She's gonna take this army to red and see what happens Almost as a tester Even if she loses a big fight, that's okay. I don't mind trading this army if I can bloody their nose a little bit and Reveal the fog and understand a bit more about what's happening with red As long as she escapes with all of her stuff and her life, obviously It's probably the main thing She can maybe slaughter Chana on her way over here although we don't have the shackles but And I think that's right. I think I want to keep the shackles with Valeska and not Valeska. LaBeetha All right, cool Chana mucking around goes there This girl's useless Hello, hello, hello Just the person I wanted to see and in just the right location Now it's on. This is the battle for the game And what well subject to what red how good red is LaBeetha versus Vitamina The ultimate showdown Can she get there today? Has to teleport here gallop up here She absolutely can I had wanted to send her oh down here to mess with this and help Thingy out Valeska out. I'm still gonna do that. I think she's in the rampart. She's picked up the creatures here right, so Valeska's doing this She's gonna get in the boat, but she's gonna come this way to get there. I'm hoping LaBeetha just goes boom and then town portal Can easily get to the boat. Yes, I can All right Jedi what are we gonna do with him? go here Go here and then go get the hint easy stuff first easy stuff first Gala very easy Comes to here Hopefully he can just get away with trolling around here having the time of his life Easy stuff. Don't know what I'm doing with Shakti quite yet. I wanted to come this way Probably still will Right. Okay. Here we go So the order of events is she goes to the Tower how many times can she port? In a day how many times can an expert earth major cast town portal? There is a limit isn't there? I want to visit the tower One of their names I want to visit ire frozen And then I want to hit luch Luchton in that order and I want to gallop up and confront vitamina for all the marbles Oh, man. The question is should we shackles? It's kind of like an all-in play, isn't it if we shackles? There's no way to hedge if I'm wrong. So let's just go for it. Let's see No So starting with ire To be there now she's here to pick up these And these I'm not by I was gonna buy some golems there just to be just to be on the safe side um Don't buy that yet because we are on our way to purchase these Eight grand for four phoenixes feels like such a bargain such a good bargain on these Yeah, so the budget really did work out did just about exactly right
