Well, all the kingdoms are descendants of that one nation. So is everyone in those kingdoms.
There are always those loyal to the old ways even in the seven kingdoms, that doesn't mean they are happy with serving the kingdoms but they use them as a means to an end.
That's just my opinion and it could be only hocus-pocus and Shar might not think that way too.
Also, I just saw the cutscene and I'm filled with emotions. I really hope there is a choice after this cutscene ends.

If you impale it, good chance trying to get it out.. :)

Halbreds are for cutting, not impaling. Its just an aesthetic i wanted to point out.,

Actually halberd is known to be both cutting and impaling. Thats why it was so popular a weapon amongst elite guard. For example in total war halberdiers are good against cav just like spearmen.

I think most hate goes to the demons right now.

I suggest you continue this discussion somewhere else.

Why? We are discussing the possibilities for Golden Guard halberdiers to use their weapons to their fullest potential, which is very important for Van Durce if he wants to survive Gardon´s visit, is it not? :D

I refrained from voting cause getting my hopes up will kill me.

Anyway, what was the next chapter's code again?
Remindes me of the time when i hoped Salomar would make it...You speak words of wisdom...

Oh this is off topic and we should not post that here but,Halberds also were used to stop horsemen,pikes were better on that regard but Halberd were much more versitile.The Halberds were the primary weaponds that the Swiss Guard and latter Landsknechte used even for horsmen.Pikes were added later.

Really? I always thought landsknechts used greatswords... we could use more greatsword units (not heroes) in Arkain. Easier to chop off heads in one fell sweep. Gonna need that for Van Douche(bag).

Enough off topic.

I honestly believe that a bit weapon variety will help a lot. The most common the cheapest soldier was spearman. Sword and shield is way more expensive than simple spear and spear has its effect too. It would make the choice golden guard / Lerrig´s royals more affecting in the early chapters.

Van Durce already won once in the fate of Bloodclaw cinematic.Gardon will win the next one,then van Durce will get revived and they will do a trilogy.

Rahandir will reanimate Van Douche, Gardon will hire Sapphira and they will go to war! Then Aridon appears and offers them his grandma´s cake of peace! And since it will not work he will then kill them and reanimate them as his servants. Mwahahahahaaaa

And then the Murlocs of the weedhunter tribe take over Arkain and with the help of Aridon keep it that way forever!

Murloc made abomination that splits into 10 murloc skeletons on death. Cant imagine uglier way to go for demons. Eaten alive inside their armours by murlocs.

Something like bonuses from shooting that come with some films. Characters making puns, hidden romances (Salana x Larine forever)... :D

Still a better love story than twilight!Maybe we can expect the scene i want in the next behind the scenes of Arkain,who knows.

Even Bloodclaw and Van Durce is better love story than twilight. I wonder what happened to the reporter girl from first behind the scenes. Didnt Aedale´s father get his hands on her?

You mean Amanda,well we don't talk about what happened.;)
If we even mention it Shar will scream from the over 9000 doors that are before his room in his mansion and after hearing it i don't want to think about this again.

Why not? Aedale´s dad may not be as bad as we all thought since the first book. Who knows, maybe she has all the comfort that can be found in Arkain. Would be nice to see her again in 2nd behind the scenes video :D

Maybe baking cookies :p

Azarus, that sounds really plausible, perhaps it's the actual reason for the mission bringing the pain, and Shar's not gonna respond and simply push this under the rug because it's an accurate spoiler
It is possible the golden guard or the demons may interrupt the meeting between king Dorten,Harmos and Gardon and since we won't have a big enough army we will have to defend for like 20-25 minutes waiting for renforcements.At least that's what i think will happen if it's this kind of mission.

I´ve just had an idea for perfect anti-demon and anti-traitor weapon in Arkain! Telescopic halberd! You need one handed axe? Two handed axe? Spear? Halberd? Our telescopic halberd with modifiable head can be all of these and more! Contact Arkain industries for more information! 20% off for orders of 10 000 and more pieces!

It sounds awesome,but giving a weapon so many forms to counter so many different units is OP or maybe it's not...hmmmmmm?
