I'm pretty sure one of Brian's reasons for tutoring Gardon and Amari was to find someone who would oppose Tregakh. (even if they know nothing about him)
You are right. Inara was foggy when she was released. Then Rath shouted Greymoore and she thought about him.
Because Rath is going to die and the Darkmind need a new leader, also making her the chieftain of the darkmind clan would increase the value of the "Orc women being warriors and leaders too" that Amari profess.
It should be, both Amari and Gardon are making empires to fight the demons and the empire, despite both having their own interests.
Agreed.
Maybe, or maybe she will serve as a parallel to Rath. While Rath gets more and more obsessed with revenge, she realizes that he is dragging their entire clan to a never-ending cycle of revenge and that they will most likely get killed because of it.
Expect Gardon had nothing to do with the darkmind massacre, it was Blen, the bull, the wolf and lering and his royalists. Inara being imprisoned at Kome castle means nothing. Kome is a stronghold of a military order that is closely associated with the empire (At that time) it would be a no brainer to think that a majority of their warriors (empire) would be stationed in a castle after all. Also Shar has expressed time and time again that one of the reasons why Blen died was the apparent lack of interest (From the masses back then) on the character and he was surprised by the "outrage" of Blen dying such a not heroic death. If you ask me the introduction of Zoia Inara and the proper development of Selior were done as a way to funnel a new arc regarding Blen (Kinda like The destroyer and Okri).
The old orc hierarchy of Chieftains for each clan was abolished the moment Amari became the queen of the Tribal Dominion. There are far to few orcs for them to descend into tribalism again despite its name the Tribal Dominion is more of a Federation of different races, each race retains a certain territory within the new kingdom's land and a leader (i.e Borctka for ogres and giants, Amari for orcs, King Gran for Gnolls) the remaining orc leaders will either assume different posts within the new Dominion or will be relegated to field commanders/generals.
I mean who betrayed who the first time the four decided to have dealings with each other.
That rule could be adapted as "preventing any possible allies death" so they dying at first could be allowed but after a nice tower spam it could be prevented. You can´t save all the heroes (most attack waves from our allies use heroes) so maybe changing it to "Our allies town hall can´t be destroyed" would work too.
It used to affect the Skullblade Clan and it no longer does.
Does it have any effect or it's now a side quest for loot?
You're definitely right, but why does he take it as his responsibility to maintain that? Why is a stronger faction winning considered a bad thing to him or matter at all? Another guess I have is a lot less grand and much simpler: self-preservation. Aridon knows the Undead are flourishing under the status-quo and he knows he can manipulate Humans (and maybe Demons), so why change what is currently working well for him and his created race of Undead. If it changes, he can't foresee what might happen to him if some other factions come to strength.
He probably thinks nobody else could maintain it, so part of it is pride. As for why he does it in the first place, I think his foresight showing him the world will end or end up in a pretty had state (very ironic of him) if he doesn't pushes him to do it and he's been doing it for so long that hesitation and doubt have been completely erased from even slight consideration. (Until recently)
Not to mention that he killed two of his brethren and himself to make sure no overlord gets to rule the entire world (at least, he seems to think so).
Dark Green. They are supposed to use Dark Green (which is closer to Amari's original "emerald" as
I will have to look into that.
I knew i forget about something, i think this ring will be what saves Vanessa from Redfist. Tping her to hortnog on that situation when (casually) hortnog is with the chieftain clan.
That made me think, Once Sasrogarn unavoidable fate is fullfilled and he dies, will you increase Amari´s hit points? It would be more useful than his brother no doubt.I highly recommend playing the chapter again now btw, unless of course you want to miss out on the bonus hit points.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Hortnog's raising some red flags over here.
Makes Amari loses 100 HP instead, because not even other Shadowbound heroes want to be with him.
Ok then.
Democracy is a joke only if the people that vote are jokes themselves. XD
Even if he didn't have half of the army backing him up, the fact that he had more followers than just his own men shows just how easy it is for the Imperial army to start killing each other. Lerrig fled from a battle that could have saved the kingdoms from an orc and demonic invasion because he trusted on Genethas.
Destroyer has like 3-4 times as much health as every other hero (for real, 4k HP in Pride of the Empire). Even without abilities, I think he easily wins a 1v1 in-game, so either he is getting the classic death-in-a-cinematic or something less obvious will happen with Okri and Destroyer. Imagine Okri demanding an honorable duel after all the dust settles and then he just kills her a la The Mountain and Oberyn Martell hahaha.
Holy moly what other Imperial and Orc factions even exist to put on that map?
There are a lot more forces in the battle than actually shown, we cut out a lot of the more generic heroes/leaders with the randomly generated melee names from the true story so you end up facing actual named characters most of the time. So there could have been Imperial Army AI factions on Pride but you just ended facing all the specialized generals and their forces. I think it was climatic enough in the end.
