Round Table of Arkain

[Shar Dundred]

I can reassure you, though: You won't be without hero for the complete mission. Just half or two-thirds of it... So, the hardest part. >

 

[Leo Akastenix]

Did u say base?

(Evil smile)
A base..... i have a chance!

 

[LISBOAH]

I can reassure you, though: You won't be without hero for the complete mission. Just half or two-thirds of it... So, the hardest part. >

Ah so it like holding your base against enemy attacks until the heroes arrive with reinforcements and then begin the siege?

 

[Shar Dundred]

Did u say base?

Sure, just be careful - trebuchets have a high range.

Ah so it like holding your base against enemy attacks until the heroes arrive with reinforcements and then begin the siege?

No, you gotta push forward still. That also includes getting through the army on the screen I've posted before. :3

 

[istvan921]

With due respect those trebuchets look like a pain in the butt are they stationary or mobile?

 

[MURDER KING]

To kill all of this forces should not take much time,and those siege wagons cnnot be shooted with range weapons?

 

[WhiteFang]

This is why I love you.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Stationary. Also, don't worry. The Ironfist always finds a way to make things a bit easier.

You know, since you asked for it, I increased the amount of troops guarding the trebuchets! :3
Well, you can attack them with ranged units - but they shoot back. And they deal like 4 times the damage you deal. Also, one single Trebuchet got like 1500 health. Not to mention the enemy air units I just added a few seconds ago... That's not that much of a good idea, trust me.

@WhiteFang: All part of the Arkain addiction!
... I hope.

OMG! Come on! And this just the fourth mission?! What are we going to face later? Godzzilas? An army of Son Gokus? Chuck Norris?!

 

[Shar Dundred]

Chuck Norris?!

Oh my, you just told everyone who's the Boss of Ch. Five. D:

Edit: Seriously, though, despite all of that the mission will have a few things making it easier (like a chapter-specific unit!). Still, you wouldn't expect something created by me be easy, hm? ;p

 

[Blake8]

You mean we'll finally be able to build elites?

 

[Shar Dundred]

No elites, no.
The unit I mean had been created (today) for this one chapter only.

 

[istvan921]

Is it a very fast cavalry unit for harrasment?

 

[YetAnotherYoutuber]

I might have offended Shar by saying that the mission in orc book 1, siege of kome, is easier and more enjoyable than the elven defense...
sorry for that if its the reason of difficulty raise
(note : played on normal difficulty, still took me above 1 hour)

 

[Shar Dundred]

Offended me? Nonsense, I increased the difficulty because I wanted to.

@Istvan: Be patient.

 

[MURDER KING]

You still skip something from your defensive capabilities and i will not tell you because you increased every opponents in number.
You will be surprised when i will go trough your siege weapons.

And Chuck Norris is on the good side.

 

[Leo Akastenix]

Footmen=Large armor
Archer=Large
Almost every large armor, means its counter attacktype is.......ogre_hurrhurr. A tip...

 

[Shar Dundred]

Archer=Large

Archer = Medium armor

 

[Leo Akastenix]

Still...... that attack type is our main pirority( )

 

[Blake8]

So how long til the chapter is finished?

Cant wait to play as the ironfist and destroy the rebels

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress isn't going as fast as it used to, so you gotta be patient, I'm afraid.

 

[Leo Akastenix]

Progress isn't going as fast as it used to, so you gotta be patient, I'm afraid.

No i wanna be ironfist and crush me yellow guardd!

 

[Shar Dundred]

Wanna watch Arkain on Twitch? Check this out!

 

[Leo Akastenix]

Wanna watch Arkain on Twitch? Check this out!

Yes

I had like u suffer with ur own madness(of this seige mission without air and heroes!!)... but decided not. Because "do what you want that you want others to do to u".(eyes the latest screenshot) right? Shar?

 

[kart72]

Those trebuchets remind me of an old hackandslash-like sidescroller game inspired by god of war the pride of getting rewarded for reaching 500hits combo on endless mode. One word: HEEPYC (that's how it got pronounced)
Also a small question. Did you come bck because your boss turned out to be a warcraft fan(or freak it's the same anyway), learned you're the Dundredian and forced you to do it with a whip?
Or was it the call of arkain being too strong for you

 

[Shar Dundred]

Arkain calls are damn strong. Perhaps I can get rid off them by finishing.;3

 

[MURDER KING]

Arkain calls are damn strong. Perhaps I can get rid off them by finishing.;3

This is your curse Shar,you must get rid of him.

 

[kart72]

Arkain calls are damn strong. Perhaps I can get rid off them by finishing.;3

Illidan and kael said things like these too you know...
When you start answering tha calls in your head ya'ain't gonna stop
AND THAT'S GOOD

 

[DD Mikasa]

Arkain calls are damn strong. Perhaps I can get rid off them by finishing.;3

Did you not "finish it" two times eh boss mon?

 

[YetAnotherYoutuber]

Finish? No no no no, y´see human invented math, and math can count not only first, second
but also third, fourth, fifth, sixth ...
what I mean is, if he completed (or is about to complete) total of 5 books, still there is alot of
room for more books, as the characters that were created for legends of arkain
have a personality that changes with your decisions, and also affects others

...in other words, the characters live when you play them in the books
and as such if he would make them die from a hit of 100-200 gold cost unit,
it would not make much sense as the characters themselves wouldnt do that
or would need serious bad luck
(from my perspective)

 

[kakuzu]

Havent been active for a while but its great to see that legends never retire !

 

[YetAnotherYoutuber]

Y missed yesterday pain and suffering that was brought upon the creator by his creation
e.g. twitch stream of playing first mission from fhb on hard

 

[Mechanical Man]

I hope if Arkain question time is still on. I just wanted to ask if there exists a map of the world, so we can see, where every race is located, where factions of these races having control, geographical and climate features of them, the sea, unusual magic features of the land, maybe even where demons come from.

 

[Shar Dundred]

I used to have a world map of Arkain, but it's gone.

 

[Tash]

I used to have a world map of Arkain, but it's gone.

Is it bigger than Azeroth?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I can't tell for certain. There has never been more than the continent Arkain and parts of the Empire's continent drawn.

 

[Leo Akastenix]

I can't tell for certain. There has never been more than the continent Arkain and parts of the Empire's continent drawn.

U ought to do it!

Jus do it!

 

[Shar Dundred]

At the moment I neither want nor plan to re-create the map anytime soon.

 

[MogulKahn]

Is this in progress?

 

[Mechanical Man]

The world map or the campaign?

 

[Shar Dundred]

Campaign yes, world map no.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress Report:
The terrain of Chapter Four is being worked on by a most capable and talented individual while I'm tinkering around with AI and triggers for said chapter. Also much object editor data is currently being worked on.

 

[MURDER KING]

Most capable and individual? sounds like a difficult terrain to complete difficult tasks.

 

[Blake8]

So how long till it's released....can't wait to crush some traitors...

 

[Shar Dundred]

While it's a delight to see how much you're looking forward to play it, I have to repeat that I don't have as much time as I used to and therefore the process takes longer than before.
Also, I want the maps I release to have quality, I don't want to throw something unfinished out just to have something released earlier.
Be patient.

 

[YetAnotherYoutuber]

I don't want to throw something unfinished out

Right, else it ll get recorded >

It's been a week...just thought it was almost done

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress Report:
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will send Kasrkin a testable version of Chapter Four. Then, it shouldn't take to long anymore.

 

[kakuzu]

If there is any bug , Kasrkin will surely find it . Great progress

 

[Shain Dundred]

Head-------->Table

Just started playing the next chapter and I learned one thing: I hate those trebuchets.
