Round Table of Arkain

[Chaosy]

Who said they will? all stories doesn't need to end happily.

Do note that Shar likes demons, so if they win.. well..

 

[kakuzu]

This is the story of Arkain, not a fairy tail. But dont forget that after the second human book , a third book will come .

 

[Chaosy]

a third book will come

Very true.

 

[Kasrkin]

Well ladies and gentlemen I have orders from the boss man himself to tell you what kind of hell you're going through this time.

You're going to have to destroy six bases all by your lonesome with no AI support. Whether or not they all attack at once is irrelevant, have fun.

Atleast Gardon will have 2 lovely ladies at his side

 

[Shar Dundred]

You wish.

Funny , the number 6 is considered the number of Satan . Coincidence ?

 

[Chaosy]

I thought 666 was.

But yeah, Shar secretly being Satan incarnate. Oh wait, it is no secret.

 

[MURDER KING]

So at the end of the book will have to fight against the Satan Himself?
That's good cause i will take Rahandir, Rath , Blen and Gardon with Aridon.
By the way i think Largoth is an spy.

Still not as hard as that dammed Castel mission on Orc book...God that mission still gives me nightmares.

 

[Chaosy]

God that mission still gives me nightmares.

Chaosy, why don't you play without cheats?

On a serious note, I hope you hire Imperator to do terrainz again

 

[Blake8]

You wish.

wait u guys are talking about the last mission? I thought u guys were talking about mission#3, The inquisitor said Cora and Larine will be assisting Gardon on this one

on a side note do you get to use any elite units on this mission or are you just stuck with your regular units? from what I recall the orc kome mission was hard, but nowhere near as hard or as time consuming as the returning home mission (mission where you get to fight the elven traitors who sided with the demons as Salana woodhunter) because the elves had no heavy melee unit, had only 1 hero; Salana woodhunter, and weak allies, while in the Siege of Kome mission you started off with 2 Heroes, you had heavy melee units, and you also had a normal ally..

 

[Verb8im]

Seems that even if Aedale didn't consume the shards in book 1, she still turns to demonology. Sad

Yea. I noticed that also..


anway about the Kome thing...the reason KOME fell was because the orcs were too strong, the reason the elven traitors fell was because the player had some mad micromanagement skillz

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

Kome will never fall again!!!

 

[Leo Akastenix]

Theodon of Kome leads 10,000 Knights of Kome into battle against 50,000 Orcs and 30,000 Trolls.. of course Kome fell!!

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

indeed it fell.I said it wont fall again!!

 

[Daffa]

Honestly, with all the impending chaos in Arkain, I always expect much twist from the master of Arkain.
Impress us Shar, surprise us

 

[Shar Dundred]

Prepare for more nightmares. =)

No.

Doesn't mean you get both in the next chapter, does it?

Kome will never fall again!!!

It shall be rebuilt to glory!

Theodon of Kome leads 10,000 Knights of Kome into battle against 50,000 Orcs and 30,000 Trolls.. of course Kome fell!!

They were kinda outnumbered in the past.

Honestly, with all the impending chaos in Arkain, I always expect much twist from the master of Arkain.
Impress us Shar, surprise us

Thou shalt be impressed.

 

[Blake8]

Man, when do we get to see Blen Greymoore?

 

[DD Mikasa]

Man, when do we get to see Blen Greymoore?

Probably after mission 5 or 6.My take is that it might depend from the choices we made in book one.

 

[Kasrkin]

Blen's not that important this time around, don't expect much from him.

 

[MURDER KING]

And what about the Dwarves?
Isn't Zarin Hammerfall a main character?

 

[Blake8]

Doesn't mean you get both in the next chapter, does it?

Hmmm....is this where we get to choose sides?

Cora = Empire
Larine = Kingdoms


Also I have a feeling that at the end of the day all three factions will have to cooperate to save themselves, either that or atleast the kingdoms and the orcs will have to cooperate...

 

[Shar Dundred]

Announcement
I want to remind everyone, that solving/not solving some side quests can influence the story as well. As far as I can tell, there'll only be like two dialogue choices in the Second Human Book. Can't tell about the other books, but I doubt there'll be any more major decisions to be made by the player.
I try to add choices, but I only add those who make sense and don't force me into a situation where I'd have to create like ten times the amount of maps than usual.
The only alternatives would be either decreasing the level of the maps and story or to work much, much, MUCH more on the campaign to enable that and I don't know about you, but *I* am not willing to take either of those, so I rather go with less high quality choices instead.

C'mon, you can't think it's THAT easy already?

 

[LISBOAH]

Remember when I mocked Aedale a few months ago?

Spoiler

I change it back. I hope she kills her father in the most gruesome way possible! I hope that she cuts his 'manly' organs, takes off his skin, burns him on a stake without killing him, cut off his limbs one by one and then let him be eaten alive by wolves!
The sins of the daughter are the father's flaws. When the father is a monster, the daughter will most certainly become one. Lisara did not after all warped her memories about her family. Her father is a Complete Monster and nothing else. Compared to him, almost all previous villains are angels.
In another story, at last we found out what were the terms for the imperial support to the elves.

 

[Blake8]

So Shar, how many more surprises and plot twists are we in store for before this book is over?

I still wouldn't be on Aedale's side if I were you. Also, she'll have other things to deal with.

So Shar, how many more surprises and plot twists are we in store for before this book is over?

Many. ;p

At all who hate Duke Redfist: You'll hate him even more in the Orc Book. Castle Kome will be a joke in comparison.

 

[Blake8]

I'm not really much for orcs...much rather play as Aridon's faction...any chance you could do the 2nd Aridon book next? I think they were ahead on that poll you made at the beginning of summer also...

 

[Shar Dundred]

My my, people ask me about the next book even though the current one still needs 11 chapters to completition.

Let me finish the current one before we can discuss such things.

 

[Theoden of KoMe]

I dont like this ....

 

[Leo Akastenix]

I dont like this ....

Me too.. if Knights of Kome is a joke..then..Duke Redfist... ah!! A Monstrosity for Humanity!! Ahh!!
Aridon and Rahandir!! DO SOMETHIN' SAVE US FROM THIS MONSTER!! HES 10 TIMES WORSE THEN GARDON!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

 

[MURDER KING]

At last the Humans will not be bored.

I think Shar ment it difficulty wise.As someone who was stupid enough to try and win the Kome Castel mission on Hard Difficulty with the old paladins who all had reviev as their ulty...I am really scared what will we have to face on the orc book.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Sorry mate.

While I meant difficulty-wise, the Duke IS 100 times worse than any other villain.

 

[DD Mikasa]

Naaaaah he looks like a over-energetic man who takes out his frustration on other people

 

[Blake8]

Duke Redfist the Tyrant

 

[kakuzu]

He might plan to overthrow the emperor , like a coup dʹEtat .

 

[DD Mikasa]

He might plan to overthrow the emperor , like a coup dʹEtat .

If i recall for Shar Q&A emperor wont be showed in the books.He just gives orders but we wont see him taking part physically in any of the books so a coup d'etat is highly highly unlikely.

 

[kakuzu]

But Shar likes misteries and surprises so anything can be possible .

 

[DD Mikasa]

I am pretty sure he said that is highly unlikely for the Emperor to make a appearance.Sinc Shar has already developt most of the story and bassed on what he said i guess that that possibility of that happening is really slim BUT there can be a coup d'etat agains the king of kerrel kingdome from Gardon,that's my prediction.

Hmmm... King Gardon of Kerrel ... Rules Kerrel with an Iron Fist ....

There's definitely something to that idea...

My thoughts

What I was thinking though was that Gardon would kill the guy who overthrew the rightful King of Pyrru and claim the throne for himself, if you check the editor the mission 3 is titled "rebellion," while the 4th mission is titled "revolution" .... just my thoughts...

 

[DD Mikasa]

Everything is in line imo.Emperor has ordered to leave the continent.So by logice he forfietes any rank or title he held on that continent.Perfect for Gardon to sieze kerrel UNITE ALL OTHER KINGDOMS AND RULE AS THE NEW EMPEROR.By now we know that Gardon is a expert at fighting demons.In fact he eats tham for breakfast.

 

[Blake8]

All Hail Emperor Bloodclaw!

 

[Shar Dundred]

I remember saying, one or two pages ago, that I don't appreciate information taken from the editor being published/discussed...

 

[DD Mikasa]

I dident took any info from Editor.I am a hardcore anime fan.I am familiar with most of the twists a story can get.

 

[Blake8]

Sorry mate, I was just messing around saying Gardon was gonna take over..., it'll be crazy if that turns out to be the case, cause I've been trying to guess the plot twist for ages

 

[Tash]

Oh my, look what we have here. Just returned and saw the resurrection of Arkain! All Hail Shar and Gardon! (Kinda)

 

[Blake8]

Man if Van Durce does get killed in this book, I hope it'll be by the Hand of Sir Edourous ... that'll definitely be the most satisfying way..

 

[Shar Dundred]

Remember: No matter what happens to van Durce, the Emperor is the one who ordered all those things (and will order more *cough*). Van Durce is just carrying out his orders - doesn't make him less of an asshole, yes, but just remember that things aren't going to be settled with him being gone.
