Spoiler for Chapter Nine
It will NOT be a chapter where you have to hold your position for X minutes.
On the contrary, you will have many enemies to attack and to fight.
Among others, Demons, Orcs, Humans... And, depending on your past choices, maybe one more...

I have no idea who that "one more" can be. Cora? She left to return home. Lerrig? That dumbass is capable of it, thats true. Murlocs? Yeah it can be murlocs.
Well now we know that all those that hate Gardon are gonna attack him. Thats some Hate.

I am feeling generous enough to drop another thing that will make you feel the HATE.
In case you were lacking any of it in the first place.

I don't know if anyone reported this, but Crossbowman and his upgrade "Enhanced Armor" share the same hotkey.

You know now that I think about it I hate Van durce much more than Genethas, but then again I haven't played the first human book in a long time
Well van Durce took everything from you,made you do his job for him,sent you to your death and now he will still want to kill you.Now Genethas..you just fought him once and he didn't appear to troll you again,so yeah Genethas is a cool dude.I can see why you like him more than van Durce.:)

Tbh you dont have to much to hate him for.Yeah he is a dirty bastard,yeah he backstabbed you but those type of scumbags are really common during wartimes,tbh he might have had his reasons (even being powerhungry) for what he did,that does not mean it wont bring me joy to snap him in two.

@Siler: Probably. Not worth any attention in my book, still.
Should he return to break rules, I will gladly report him and see him banned, though.

Anyway I'm happy that we're finally gonna be getting back at Genethas for his betrayal, this should be a very interesting battle don't you think @Shar Dunded ?
You tagged the wrong user. ;)
Anyway, yes interesting, epic and huge.
In fact, there will be quite some stuff you won't "have to" destroy, but should destroy regardless
since they will keep attacking you.

@DevZ: Still unhappy about Destructors? ;)
@DD Mikasa: Focus on the present and the future - a future of slaughter in Arkain, dead traitors,
living traitors, betrayal, Night Elves... Okay, I made the last one up.

ANYWAY, have another spoiler for the next chapter:
Destroying/Sparing the Dark Elven Expedition in Chapter Six will have quite some impact here.
In addition, there is even more stuff regarding the announced "hate" than you know...

That's enough spoilers for the time being. ;)

Oh... So they might out for revenge, even if technically Gardon and undead are in a truce?

Destructors now cost more food and their rof has been massively reduced, they are much less useful in this nerf form

Make Arkain Great again, Change back the destructors...

I do!I care about seeing them die!And yes,that's called caring!:p

They didn't care when the demons started invading the kingdoms! They didn't care when Lor was invaded! They didn't care that the kingdoms would be slaughtered as long they could flee to the other side of the sea!
So why should we care for them?

Not to be off topic, but this is not just my opinion.
On one parody about Arthas' story, he claims this "I murdered my father and destroyed my entire civilization...oh and High Elves too because... you know elves"

And Nixxiom says this "Arthas corrupts a thing called Sunwell that no one cares about. A bunch of elves are really sad which is awesome!"

Because when they are alive we can use them as sacrifices for a blood shield.Be creative!:p

The Elves have only cared for themselves in the past, yes. As you might remember from the
First Human Book, our good Salana was extremely unhappy about this.
Look on the bright side, now the Elves will be put to some use, with a more competent queen
like her.

@DevZ: They needed to get a nerf, they were they too powerful in their old version.
It's not like I didn't want them to be useful or strong - else I wouldn't have created them - but
they were too strong. Same for Greywolves.
One of the former updates adressed your points, though:
- Following changes have been made to the Destructor unit:
* Increased building and repair time from 60 to 75 seconds
* Increased training and repair cost from 350/90 to 375/120
* Increased cooldown for attacks from 2.30 to 3.00
* Increased unit damage from 51-105/52-115/53-125/54-135 to 72-142/73-153/74-164/75-175
* No changes to the food cost
- Following changes have been made to the Destructor upgrade Improved Aiming:
* Increased upgrade cost from 250/200 to 300/200
* The upgrade now also increases the unit damage by 5

As far as I am concerned, they are a lot more powerful now.

They might be playable in the final chapters as the reckoning is coming.

One of the versions I've played they had a rof of like .2 seconds but did like 10 damage, that was probably the best version I've ever used

The Destructor's armor got severly nerfed too, it went from being fortified (reducing piercing and magic attacks [most common types of anti-air attacks] to 35%) to medium (reducing piercing and magic attacks to 75%)

In the undead book we can expect the undead doing everything to fight the demons,while fighting space aliens and robots!That would be kickass and stupid at the same time.

Demons, a new army of Forgotten Ones, a zerg invasion and the Dark Entity.

Seriously though, the humans of the kingdoms are holding the demons off, the undead are fighting from the shadows... and that is it. The rest of the other factions are too busy killing each other or doing absolutely nothing!

The worst thing about all of this is that they could have already won if the golden guard listened to Gardon and did something!Combine this with Brian's unknown powers and every demon and legion commander would be dead by now.

Every demon and commander dead is an exageration, but they could slowly push the demons away like they did in the Void War.

Gardon: Golden Guard follow me!
Golden Guard: Why?
Gardon: To defeat the demons!
Golden Guard: Why would we want to do that? They are not attacking the Empire.
Gardon: Because they are killing countless innocents!
Golden Guard: ... And we should be concerned because...?
Gardon: That is it! I am gone! I tried!
