Round Table of Arkain

[Boriss]

Spoiler

Here is a spoiler, what is almost always used by the player but never actually used against you intentionally?

Strategy, cunning, back doors that are lightly guarded, floods, tornadoes, all-air attacks, defectors (im lookin at you Ironside!), peasants, snacks, drinks, time, faith, God, whosyourdaddy, iseedeadpeople...

 

[LISBOAH]

I will admire him for that too. He's very busy, yet he still does it, even though he knows it's just a hobby. But why do i feel like he hates himself for making this mission?

He hates himself, which increases the hate he will put in the mission. Then we will REALLY hate the mission and hate Shar for doing it...and the cycle repeats.

Spoiler

A cycle you say? Like Aridon's cycle of balance! Of course when the cycle gets broken and one side gets an advantage over the other we can expect an Aridon return! He will return and bring his balance of the world idea back in action!

 

[Shar Dundred]

floods, tornadoes

Hmm....

 

[Boriss]

Hmm....

Oh crap, what have I done...

 

[Championfighter25]

Oh crap, what have I done...

A tornado randomly passes through your base and destroys your structures, a flood kills your troops and makes your structures underwater unusable. Also why not add tsunamis which destroy your fleet. This is genius!

We should stop giving Shar ideas

Why doesn't Shar just add the Ten Plagues of Egypt if that is what you wish?

Let the cannon befall the fate of Babylonian tower

 

[Championfighter25]

Let the cannon befall the fate of Babylonian tower

No we actually need it, in the worst case if it's destroyed we can use the special beam cannon from DBZ as a replacement
Also Shar will we be able to actually use it? And if we do will it be something like Artanis's orbital strike from the sc2 co-op missions, if you get what i mean?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I will say only one thing about Chapter Nine before its release:
It will blow your mind - and let's not even mention the HATE it will create. :3

 

[Blake8]

Possibly spoiler

Spoiler

I think either Van durce or Genethas will either kill or otherwise hurt someone important on the next mission, and that's the source of the hate
Also I predict that this mission might be like that Hunter of Shadows (

) from the wc3 orc campaign The golden guard will occupy a large portion of the map before Genethas or whoever attacks them and drive them back

 

[Shar Dundred]

Progress report
Terrain for the map is pretty much finished! Just a few more improvements need to be made.
We are getting closer to the release date, ladies and gentlemen!

 

[Lord Siler]

This is the chapter we face the cannon in Correct?

I was browsing youtube and stumbled upon this, I knew I had to add it here

Yay, the rage quit, i mean the hate is so near, and considering the bad choices i've made this will be even more fun!
The only question i have for the map before it's release is will it be a huge one like chapter 3 was?

Most likely. There will be three or more factions fighting each other.

And the ultimate boss fight will be Arkain times elf-girl reporter questioning you while every man on screen will be eye-ing her butt and drooling

Shar can make this into a side quest for chapter 9!
Reporter annoyance:
This Amanda who interviews everyone makes our soldiers stand still and only look at her. Kill her so they can concentrate on the battle, and to make king Gardon happy for once!

You dont kill Amanda! You will need to answer her quiz! Time to fetch ourselves a big encyklopedia, cos its quiz time!

Thanks, I just think the image is so fitting, plus the next chapter promises a big battle between golden guard, genethas and other force

 

[Shar Dundred]

Let's just say that the max amount for destructibles of the World Editor caused a few problems that I had to adress.

 

[Championfighter25]

Let's just say that the max amount for destructibles of the World Editor caused a few problems that I had to adress.

So the map crashes and you have to reduce them? Is it something like that?
Anyway looking forward to the release!

 

[Lord Siler]

You can't save if there are more doodads than allowed, I thnk the editor might delete them or something in order to allow u to save

 

[Boriss]

Let's just say that the max amount for destructibles of the World Editor caused a few problems that I had to adress.

There are specific tools in here to allow for bigger maps and more triggers and destructibles.

 

[Deleted member 238589]

@Shar Dundred a quick question, I was making a map and half of the map was supposed to be heavily forested, I had a similar doodad problem, in order to get rid of it I had to remove lots of trees replace them with rocks, cliffs or use borders on the area, is there a way around this limitation?

I'm sure there are external ways to go about it, but it's always better to use cliffs or water unless you really need the trees. If latter is the case, you'll just have to manage their positions better.

I'd advise the same to you Shar. I'll take a look at this when you send me your map, but you'll probably have to use the trees strictly as resources, and much less as decorative tools.

Remember it from a mount and blade warband mod.

 

[LISBOAH]

Remember it from a mount and blade warband mod.

That would sound cool for a mission.
We take control of a hero, like Gardon, Brian, Salana or another; we see the map like they would see and fight across a huge battlefield while both sides constantly send waves of soldiers either to kill us or support us.

 

[Championfighter25]

fight across a huge battlefield while both sides constantly send waves of soldiers either to kill us or support us.

Since chapter 12 brings the slaughter that will be the perfect chance to do this kind of mission.

Spoiler

Also i wonder since chapter 10 brings the aid, but we will get the black dragons in chapter 9, what kind of aid will chapter 10 bring?

Maybe the dwarves, the elves, Sapphira's undeads, the armies of the other kingdoms...?

@Shar Dundred I replayed Chapter Six, you mentioned in a previous comment that destroying the Pale Elves base would disbenefits us in Chapter Nine. After I completed the main quest and the end cinematic started, "Ancient Foes" was completed and the dialogue for it initiated. Is that intentional or a bug? 'Cause I'm sure that I never touched them

I've encountered that stuff as well. Fixed it with a quick cheats-on replay.

Already noticed that one, gets fixed with the next update! =)

So how do you see it with chapter 9? Ready by the end of the week? Or somewhere next week?

 

[Shar Dundred]

I would think weekend, but no promises.
Could be earlier or later.

Take your time, allow our hatred to have more time to grow.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Oh, your hate has become pretty powerful and will grow in power even more.
Now, the suffering comes next...

 

[Morris]

WHAT!
Please tell me.that I don't have to play that chapter again.to get the quest. :')

 

[lekxman22]

If i may ask Will u upload campaign just with chapter nine or waiting full vers

 

[Championfighter25]

He will update it once chapter 9 is finished.

It is official. Shar want to turn us all into Darth Vaders.

 

[DD Mikasa]

Tbh i am kinda looking forward,I really hope Shar will give us some interesting choices on this one,The old fart even tho traitor could make for some really nice plot twist/twitsts

 

[Championfighter25]

I think since this chapter brings the hate we will get a pretty massive surprise or plot twist. Well we get them every chapter and interlude, but this can be way bigger!

 

[DD Mikasa]

Him making a re-apperance kinda makes the story fresher,I was getting bored of Gardon and the Golden Tin Cans.

Spoiler

Since the story will soon enter it's most crucial part i doubt you will be bored, even if Genethas dies in chapter 9. With all the stuff that will soon happen it's gonna be more about the fate of the continent than Gardon and the tin cans as you call them. Just as you like it.

 

[Shar Dundred]

As you know, I will not post any spoilers for Chapter Nine anymore before its
release - however, that doesn't stop me from releasing spoilers for other chapters, does it?

Spoiler

Certain choices that directly affected Aedale will have HUGE impact on Chapter Thirteen!

It is official. Shar want to turn us all into Darth Vaders.

I had to choose between turning you into Darth Vaders or van Durces.

So the amount of demonic artifacts she absorbed can change the mission, whether it was zero, one or two?

Great Scott, it all makes sense now.
