    Nice of you saying that, but people like Aeroblyctos would deserve that too, or even more than me. =)

    I did! The dialogues are much more better now,not perfect because Larine still cry like a bitch and Salana says nothing to calm her down but...they are good and make sense! Good fix,Crusader.
    So a war hero dies in a prision ,The Daddy of Arkain is all of a sudden vanished,Harmos is nowhere to be seen,Gardon keeps gaining and loosing allies ,Undeads are fragmented joining Sapphira who was recently risen and choose not to follow Rah...More of the golden guard keeps joining the new Kings army and ALL OF A SUDDEN this prick Emperor makes a pretty nice "cameo"

    Why am i having such a hard time buying any of this things you are serving right now :|

    BTW THE TANKS ARE LOVELY oh god never had so much fun nuking foes to oblivion with my mass tanks and observer towers yay \(^_^)/
    Jeez you ate me so many times already that it became natural to you and you don't even remember :/

    Hi.

    Imperator is German for Emperor. Did there a mistake happen?

    And WHEN do we fight the demons??? Can't wait!!! ^^

    I know the meaning of "Imperator", yes, but it was named after a user of this website, who was among the first supporters of the Arkain series. There are a few other named characters like Theoden of Kome, the Kasrkin or Kakuzu.

    Soon, very soon. :)

    Thanks for the massacre. Loved the way Ironside betrayed the empire in mist of an important situation at hand. Wait, is Ironside... nevermind.

    (Post) So no matter what choices you make in book 1 Salana still gets her amulet "enchanted" by Gardon

    I swear,some people have fetish for your female characters. ._.
    hello Shar Dundred, your campaigns are very rich and perfect. I like them very much and i even played each campaign twice just to do the decisions i didn't make and see how the story changes! And i was just wondering if there are any night elves in the world of Arkain?? Because it would be nice to have a night elf book with heroes like arch druid, demon hunters, wardens and priestesses!!
    The rain is coming and it's hot, this is getting terrible. Shar take the rain away!

    I'm not really that big on shooter type games.I usually just play them when there is a lot of rpg features,like Mass Effect or Fallout NV

    XCOM is no shooter game.
    It is a turn-based strategy game.

    Take a look at some of its gameplay footage, you will see how wrong you are!

    But yes.I still see a lot of inspirations all around but it's all my point of view.For example? The spider looking dark elves reminded me a lot of Drows from D&D while Gardon a typical waarhammer fantasy character who stick to bad ways but wants to do good as i mentioned before.I also have to add that i really like the mix you made,like for example you added politics to the world but didn't even stop from adding some jokes into the dialogues to show more 'human' side of the characters.Not going into asslicker mode but i would lvoe to be part of your project,especially all character making or suggestions.Arkain is probably one of my favorites campaigns and could rival only with Medmapguy creations.

    Being an old Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale veteran, I would lie if I claimed that the Dark Elves took no inspiration from the D&D Drow, especially since I always liked their society - despite being completely fucked up in many ways.
    I will be honest, I think the less-serious dialogue at some point is needed to make the story less sad/serious at some points - it also, as you pointed out, makes the characters more "human". I am trying not to get too jovial, though.
    Don't worry, I know you are a fan of the series and I am always happy to see people enjoying the Arkain universe/campaigns.
    I thank you for your interest in being part of the project, be it serious or just a comment, but I am afraid that is not possible.

    It is just that in my mind, too many things are already set up - the entire script for the Second Human Book had been completely done in my mind while I was still working on the First Undead Book. There is also a ton of background knowledge that has yet to be revealed, too much for a cooperation like this.
    About other campaigns, I think the Wanderers of Sorceria campaign series is the best campaign series for this game.

    I mean by no means any offense, of course.

    Not sure if there is 'reply' option so i will sadly have to write a new comment.It's kinda interesting to hear what could be your possible inspiration but for me? Arkain seems nothing like Game Of Thrones unless you see Demons and humans like families in GOT,then i agree.I must say that i got this feeling like your campaign made a really really huge progress.For example? When i played first human book i found most of it....boring.Like don't get me wrong but some of the dialogues were kinda simple and the world was limiting to 'Good Humans' and 'Evil Demons' but eventually the characters slowly started to get more backstory and things were turning interesting.At the end of the first book i admit i was feeling eager to play more of this just to see different choices. even got feels when i decided to corrupt Aedale. (I now suffer it's consequences but i admit that i still want some redemption for ehr 'evil' version,of course not asking for any spoilers.)

    There is that small "Comment" button right below the profile post - on the right side. =)
    I understand that the GoT comparison was more related to the story quality itself, but I dunno.
    I understand your feelings about the dialogue, in the First Human Book, the Humans seem very "good" and the others all "bad". I was a bit surprised, though, that everyone got that impression, since good ol' Blen ordered his men to annihilate an entire Orc clan - including women and children - in Chapter Three already. This somehow has been missed, I might have to make that less "hidden".
    I think that is another reason why Gardon is such an interesting character: Prior to his arrival in the First Human Book, the Humans looked plain "good". I think his first appearance showed the other face of humanity.
    D
    I don't want to spam the comment section in one of your campaigns,so instead i will post my answer here.Despite what you may think the idea of inspiration by warhammer come to me when i first saw Gardon character,at first i was unsure of him (But i still like him ,Merlon and Aedale the most) .He seem like shady guy but eventually it turned out that he does the right thing.And...here comes the typical 'Warhammer stereotype' where many characters are shady but it does not make them entirely bad like with Ahzek Ahriman or many others.The secnd reason why i thought that warhammer was your inspiration was fact that there is a lot,literally a lot of Knights and Generals and tons of politics which is probably the main reason why i like Arkain so much.Mixed politics with epic battles and tough chocies perfectly.

    I find your point of view very interesting!
    I can see where you are coming from with the characters' personalities, but I think two of the hugest differences between Warhammer and Arkain is the eternal war-like situation of the Warhammer universe (including them being unable to end a faction or making peace) and the grimdark-setting. I consider the Arkain universe to be some kind of Dark Fantasy.
    Some users, like Theoden of Kome and others, have said several times that Arkain makes them feel like Game of Thrones.
    The funny thing about this is that this had been written the first time while the First Human Book was still in progress (october 2014 or something like that I think) and I got the first season of Game of Thrones at Christmas 2014, so some time after the release of the First Human Book and during the progress of the First Orc Book. I knew nothing about it before.

    I always wanted Arkain to be more than your "average" story. I am not saying that a storyline ALWAYS needs politics or tough choices like that to be good, but I think it does the story much good to show more than "just" battles. I think Arkain wouldn't have its current quality without it.
    Btw, I always enjoy talking about Arkain, especially when it is related to the story aspects, characters etc. =)
