We are controlling the Dwarven King, so it makes sense the best of the best are with him on this fight...
Not exactly the best of the best, seeing as we can only train base units.
Still fun tho

I will never trust your cutscenes ever again.You were never supposed to have a choice about that one!

I smell a plot twist. Gardon is meant to lose the final battle. That would be a Westerosian twist.
Form e neutral perspective, dwarfs did right thing. Gardon literally enslaved elf race. I would have done the same if I were dwarvan king. Van druce is an asshole but he looks like competent asshole. We just see the entire plot from gardon's perspective and we are playing with Gardon's for long enough. Otherwise I don't think van druce himself is any different from Gardon. It's hard to understand who is the real demon here. LOA is Wc3's game of thrones.
I think our portrait of van Durce is highly based on Gardon's perspective of events. Come to think of it, it was the emperor who ordered him to commit treason. If Gardon is willing to sacrifice everything for victory, would he sacrifice his pride and fight alongside van Durce, considering he's not acting on emperor's behalf anymore? I doubt that very much. But both of them pursue the same goal now, which is destroy demons obviously. At this point Zarin's words make sense. Humans cannot unite even at the brink of extinction.
To be honest, I don't have any resenment towards van druce , unlike a lot of people here on this thread. I would love to see Ironfist and golden guard fighting side by side.
But I do hate orcs. They just don't do anything apart from attacking human and their allies. Worthless shitheads. If given a chance , I would want to purge them first.
P.S: My favorite race is human in WC3 and I never liked Orcs. So that plays a major role behind my resentment towards orcs here in Arkain.
P.S: @Shar Dundred , I still want Thanok and bloodfists . Could you please?? I will send you cake.
Send him cake and he will throw it at you using catapult
I feel like this is an overshadowing of you giving them more allies...It seems like team Golden Guard is growing in power on Hive.
It seems like team Golden Guard is growing in power on Hive.
They were scattered, surrounded and their enemies were supported by fire golems.The dwarves were having trouble beating kobolds and rats so they will most likely get...roasted!
You used to be a Gardon fangirl though.I am not saying i am all of a sudden a Golden Guard fangirl but To much power on some one who utilizes questionable methods can never be good.
Gardon is your friend.To be fair...Gardon got me worried(he is accumulating alot of power).Let's be fair.
with Blen gone(for now),dispite him being a dreadfull character Gardon gets free hand in all matters.I mean who is gonna really stand up to him?
Gardon is your friend.
Gardon is your saviour.
Gardon is your hero.
Gardon is your love.
Gardon is your life.
Gardon never sacrifice you for blood shield.
Gardon always help you.
Gardon fights for you.
And he will die for you.
It's time too see past the Golden Guard's lies and be on the right side.

Welcome to Team Golden Guard then!I can join team Gardon only if I get thanok and bloodfists and cheaper elites.
Welcome to Team Golden Guard then!
We're gonna see who's the real shit in the ending of chapter 11.
There is a saying that gold is as worthless as the golden guard who wears it, so we already know how it will end.
They have the plan of transporting troops from the continent of the human empire through portals. We shall have to wait and see how much troops will get through.GG + Dwarves vs. IF + Elves + Kerrel Army + Black Dragons (not counting the Flame Orders and Sapphira undead party)
If the GG has any other secret weapon, now's the time to use it unless they want to get spiked at the butt by Thanok.
You mean from the continent with the Emperor who no longer considers them his faithful servants but traitors to be left behind?They have the plan of transporting troops from the continent of the human empire through portals. We shall have to wait and see how much troops will get through.
Yes.You mean from the continent with the Emperor who no longer considers them his faithful servants but traitors to be left behind?
I've been thinking whether the cannon will get destroyed while both factions busy fighting each other.
They both seem to rely on it pretty much.
From past spoilers about the coming chapters Shar said we are going to use it in chapter 12 so i really doubt it will get destroyed.
Here are the spoilers i was talking about. They are for chapter 10( which is released) , 11 and 12.Guess I was missing some of them back in the day, may I get to know the spoilers of the last 3 chapters? Oh and about Claire's backstory, heard someone mentioned it before.
Thx a bunchHere are the spoilers i was talking about. They are for chapter 10( which is released) , 11 and 12.
Chapter Ten - The Aid
You will be playing as the Dwarves and fight some threats neither human nor demonic.
The greenskins are pillaging the dwarven realm and a new enemy, led by Progaderas the Smoking,
has risen from the deep.
You will be offered assistance.... for a prize that is not gold. And no, no lumber either.
Chapter Eleven - The Desire
You wanna punch Renald van Durce in the face? Well, here you go!
Keep in mind that the Golden Guard still has massive numbers - you people underestimated their
numbers severly when discussing their fate here!
In addition, they are working on portals to teleport forces directy from the other continent to Arkain.
Also, van Durce himself will be even more powerful in this mission than he was in Chapter Nine.
Your goal will be to take the cannon and slaughter van Durce, obviously.
If you made a right choice long, long ago, you might get help from an old friend.
If you made a wrong choice not too long ago, you might face your worst nightmare.
Chapter Twelve - The Slaughter
This is a big defense mission - no, not timed.
You have to defend the cannon against all enemies - Demons, Orcs, Rahandir's Undead...
At the same time, you have the cannon and can use it against your enemies - takes a long time to use, though!
If you want to know Claire's backstory then here is the link to all Arkain short stories.

We have yet to make our most important choices so who knows. Maybe they will play a role in his rise or downfall.I wonder...What if Gardon losses.One thing i have learned from this project is that everything is possible.
We have yet to make our most important choices so who knows. Maybe they will play a role in his rise or downfall.
The thing with the dwarves only happened because van Durce needed someone dumb enough to believe his lies. And yes he said some truths about Gardon, but made himself look like the innocent in the situation which is unacceptable.Ever wondered that maybe it will not be our choice to make?
I mean we did not get a say on who we choose while playing dwarves.

I do believe we will get a choice. Maybe even a choice to ally with them.
Good points.I doubt the small lies from Van douch convinced Zarin to join the golden guard.You can clearly see that Zarin had knowlege of Gardon's doings.I mean no one from Goldenguard mentioned the elfs and their fate yet this was Zarin's most vocal point on the reasons why he denied Gardon's help.
My take is,Zarin had made up his mind way before the meeting with both Holy Bastion and Birram.I mean the way how he confronted Birram on IF's sketchy methods made it look like he had this prepared.
They indeed did. But for temporarily saving themselves they put themselves in a 7 ( armies of Kerrel, Salria, Rengar, Elves, Black Dragons, Saphira undead, Gardon's army and some small golden guard deserters, but i'm no going to count them) vs 2 situation ( they and the Golden Guard). Let's see how this will work out for them.Besides you cant really call Dwarves dumb.They choose the lesser of two evils(from their PoV).
The problem is that van Durce has severed connections with the empire completely so that won't work.Edit (For the forth time):On my eyes Zarin isn't dumb at all...He'd rather take his chances with Golden Guard and set up a friendship deal with them and empire (Van Douch is blood related to the emperor) and to the least secure the future of his people than end up as Gardons slave...I mean where the difference between being Gardons personal puppy or Demons lap dog.One side gives you a nice looking leash the other fills your brain with lies.
Good points.
Still though he knew the fate of the elves, but didn't care to see what van Durce did to the kingdoms and that he cause the civil war in the first place. He has some serious problems.

You also have to keep in mind what the Golden Guard has been doing: Recruiting and training lots of peasants and others, bolstering his forces furthermore.
They also have the best engineer of the entire continent, supplying them with golems, airships and other weaponry while building a huge cannon.
