Round Table of Arkain

[LickMyEyeBall]

Every chapter was fairly easy except for chapter 4. Just to make clear: by "easy" I mean under 3 hour mark

My biggest problem was the giant jump in difficulty from chapter 2 to chapter 3, it was way too big in my opinion. Chapter 4 will still remain the hardest chapter untill we don't start using whosyourdaddy that is

Well well, seems we have something to fix.

 

[Shar Dundred]

And here I thought you people considered Two hard.

No Greywolves then?

 

[Shar Dundred]

No Greywolves, no Hydromancers, no towers.

 

[Kasrkin]

Perfect! You are meant to be the reinforcements after all.

 

[Boriss]

No Greywolves, no Hydromancers, no towers.

Now thats cruel! Even van Durce isnt that cruel. And he tortured Blen to death.

 

[Championfighter25]

Now thats cruel! Even van Durce isnt that cruel. And he tortured Blen to death.

Don't worry he said he is a cruel tyrant, but not a mad cruel tyrant so he won't do it.

Never underestimate the cruelty of Shar...when you think he reached the peak of cruelty, he surprise us...

Don't worry he said he is a cruel tyrant, but not a mad cruel tyrant so he won't do it.

In a way, sane tyrants are worse than insane tyrants. When they do something nefarious, it is far more calculated and you know they are doing fully aware of what they are doing.

Whats next pesants cost food again,food.limit goes back to 90 and the enemy gets and extra pitlord?

 

[LickMyEyeBall]

Guess we are going to spend 6 hours for next chapter, aight? The thing I hated about first human book was it's rather easiness. I would say not exactly easy, but way too like blizzard/vanilla campaign. Suffice to say having a challenge is great yet sometimes I'm terrified by some suggestions made here. You guys are tough

 

[ArchDuke]

Heh good chap. I just did not anticipate havig van douche as a hero. hes super op too. so any progress updates @Shar Dundred

 

[Lord Siler]

Well, @Shar Dundred, you really outdid yourself this time, the finale of this story will surely come out to be epic with the way you are creating the events in your tale

 

[Morris]

@Kasrkin Stop giving @Shar Dundred ideas
We are screwed either way

 

[Shar Dundred]

Why not?

 

[DD Mikasa]

While we are at it,why not disaple weapons and defence upgrades as well? xD

 

[Boriss]

I have found a bug. In the third chapter of the 2nd book, the pass battle, zealots cant get their critical strike researched.

Maybe Shar can fix the bug by removing the upgrade entirely?

 

[Heimgri123]

Does the campaign update itself or do i have to re-download it? Because i CAN'T find the 2nd human book under resources.
Some help please

 

[Shar Dundred]

Go to the first page of this thread.
The most recent version of the Second Human Book is attached to the first post.

 

[Lord Siler]

So Shar. How is the progress on the chapter of the black dragon going so far?

 

[Shar Dundred]

When there is progress to be shared about any upcoming chapter, I will share it with you.
Currently taking a short break.

Good plan. Relax, go to Hawaii, gather some inspiration. And then bring us another chapter that we will remember forever !

 

[Logan Raynor]

the van Durce 2nd skill - Plating or sth
besides +10 armor it also has Thorn effect, right?
I see it doesn't appear in the skill description but it starts backfiring dmg to the enemies, especially when we use 'whosyourdaddy'.

 

[Shar Dundred]

especially when we use 'whosyourdaddy'.

I do not stop people from using cheats, but I do not support them.
This means that any issue caused by cheats will not be fixed.

Regardless, we will take a look at this in a game without any cheats.

No need to take that thorns effect away It does zero damage to those knights. Its a pity those attack waves are so well synchronized they dont meet each other
It is however very funny that you can use small net to ground gigantic airship in chapter 9

Somehow they met each other quite often in my run. However, there were more Undead vs Genethas&demons engagements, then Orc vs Demons or Orc vs Undead

 

[Lord Siler]

Spoiler

when I heard that the emperor and Gardon were half brother I was seriously like wtf??????

 

[Lord Aiden]

9 brings the hate
10 brings the hate
11 brings the MouMou

lol

 

[Colonel Aster]

So chp. 11 brings in the annoyance ?

 

[Lord Aiden]

it was a joke, but with all the plot twists and revelations only Shar really knows whats going to come at us, final battle will probably be a might epic war between Gardon and durce, you might even get to decide sides....but that is all just my opinion

 

[Colonel Aster]

I can see that, golden guard vs the ironfist, the final batte for the continent

Epic indeed

 

[Lord Aiden]

Epic battles ahead
Arkain shall tremble

on a serious note I be liking the destructors ... a powerful ship that can rain down on its enemies kind of remind me of kirovs from red alert 2, but even more op

 

[Colonel Aster]

Epic battles ahead!

ye destructors are awesome, too bad they got nerfed...I liked the previous ones much better

 

[Boriss]

After Gardon and van Durce are done:
Lets go kill demons!
Ehm, sir, they are gone.
What? How?
Your little war scared the **** out of them and they ran away.
Oh...

Edit: back to the thorns thing, it can seem like thorns but it can actually be those spirit link spells.

 

[Colonel Aster]

Only 5 more chapters left...

 

[Kasrkin]

I don't know why I agreed to this Shar! Somethin must've been going wrong in my brain.

Spoiler

It's all a matter of timing and I get better after every attempt... doesn't make this pain any better though.

What are you trying to do? No sir Ross?

 

[Championfighter25]

What are you trying to do? No sir Ross?

What if he is trying with no possession and without training additional spirits? You only start with 3 and that's all you get.

 

[Blake8]

It seems that pictures of crusaders = always relevant to arkain,

oh and Karkin, not everyone possesses those godlike wc3 skills you do, some of us actually have to try to pass some missions on normal and even easy

 

[Kasrkin]

Ring a ding, no possession and I eventually have to kill Ross. Can kick the crap out of attacking waves but actually attacking is something different. Need more fire mages probably.

Gimme a pro tip. Are hydromancers better than firemages?

 

[Kasrkin]

Maybe, crushing wave is great instant damage and haste plus another buff turns your army into something to be feared. At the same time you can keep rain of fire going longer after your hydromancers have run out of mana and the fireball stun is always great.

Hydros don't need as much as a supporting force as mages do.

 

[Deleted member 238589]

You also have to micro firemages a bit more, while you can just use autocast with hydros. Rain of fire is great and all, but I feel like buffs provide you with more benefits in the long run. Crushing wave is also better at dealing with a group of clustered units since rain of fire doesn't stack.

I've recently replayed the final chapter of 1st human book and watch the epilogue. So Largoth stated that salana kill her apprentice(i destroyed lera's base in Chapter 5) which is Lera the huntress. but, I've noticed that the ranger hero of the red guard in chapter 7 of 2nd human book is named Lera the huntress. there's really no problem if you don't destroy her base in 1st book but I did and she still appear in 2nd book. I'm sure that my decision is carry over since gardon is defending blen when van douche accuse him that he work with genethas in prologue and harmos is not worrying to meet gardon once again in the ending cinematic of chapter 8.

The campaign can be buggy when importing some choices, this issue will be fixed later on.

That choice really is pointless. Either you kill her in the first book or kill her in the second book. Either way she ends up dead.

Spoiler

Spoiler

And that made me believe that Gardon only became general due to nepotism

 

[Shar Dundred]

At this point!

Spoiler

At least unlike Lerrig who got his General post the same way and die like an idiot while fighting demons , Gardon proved he deserved his post.

At this point!

Spoiler

And in the next point i know you will revive her. It's all part of your plan.
