Chapter Nine also took its time - and I dare say it was a total success.
If by success you mean filling us with pure, burning and eternal hatred...yes, it was complete success!

Stange because the chapter didn't fill me with hate... I mean i want van Douche to suffer, get tortured, killed, get his body destroyed, be erased from history and if people remember him to make jokes and laugh at his expense, but i really feel no hate whatsoever... I wonder why?If by success you mean filling us with pure, burning and eternal hatred...yes, it was complete success!

No... what you feel is anything but hatred, it is PURE love
...If that is love, then I would rather hate everyone...

I guess i will show some mercy to Douche. Sparing and forgiving him would be stupid though, instead i'm gonna make Gardon do sparring with him as in use him as his punching bag whenever he feels like it. Yeah i do like that idea a lot more.No... what you feel is anything but hatred, it is PURE love

To clarify: Make love, not Warcraft is an achievement in world of warcraft that you get if you /hug enemy dead player when his soul is still in his body. Pointing at my Salana x Larine fanfic. Why call it porncraft? Lets make Lovecraft!

Indeed. These halls are made to honour holy warriors like van Durce and praise kind people like Gardon Bloodclaw... Wait something in this sentence doesn't seem right...

The next update (update, not map!) is scheduled to be released tomorrow.
It will include fixes to remove (hopefully all) bugs and will improve the AI behaviour to counter tower spam.
Speaking of towers, yes, Kasrkin Mode is still a thing to be released at some point and it will give
several enemy AI heroes the Earthquake ability to unleash maximum hate.
The souls of those who play Kasrkin Mode are doomed anyway.
Back to the update:
It will also add a new playable character for the player in Chapter Nine.
Also, after this update we will finally dive in deep into the spoilers for Chapter Ten.

Nice... I guess you should make a intro cutscene saying "through me the way to everlasting pain, abandon all hope ye who enter here".
It will be quite fitting in preparing you for what's to come in Kasrkin mode.
Is it going to be Marin?

Marin is practically the Chief Engineer of the Golden Guard. Would they risk sending him to the frontlines against the demons?
One that has never appeared?
Or maybe some kind of raised and brainwashed Blen?

Blen returning as undead confirmed? I would quite like to see that happen.
It is never too late indeed. Although just inserting him like that is kind of strange.

Version 0.54 released!
Meet your new playable hero of Chapter Nine: Templar Commander Praxeus "The Holy Bastion" Braelon!
After the tragic death of Imperator, this experienced warrior-priest has been made the right hand of
Renald van Durce.
He will be your loyal support hero, having Holy Light, Barrier, Command Aura and Ressurrection at his disposal
to make the life of your Golden Guard less painful.
He won't have much to say in this chapter.
But the future, oh the future...

General:
- Many enemy AIs now use more artillery in their attacking waves to decrease the efficiency of tower spam
Chapter Nine:
- Added a new playable hero: Sir Praxeus "The Holy Bastion" Braelon
- The Golden Guard Vanguard no longer uses any air units
- The Golden Guard Vanguard now has all of its units die very shortly after the Dark Elves arrive - IF they arrive, you can still save them if it is just the dragons

I sense that he is either going to become the leader of the golden guard on the Arkain continent after van Douche dies and becomes either ally or our enemy. We shall have to wait and see though.

And van Durce's Dragon finnaly shows up.
van Durce: The Big Bad
Praxeus: The Dragon
Marin: The Evil Genius
So he is basically just an additional hero to command, not a character that will contribute to the plot, at least for the time being?
You just lowered the chances of us having an ally against Genethas and the orcs...
Just great...

It's called a balance of power...
We got way too strong with the new hero and he had to do a nerf to make it fairer for the enemy.

Sure...
The enemy with a veteran general, elite cavalry units, demonic forces and heroes and demonic gates; plus with the "help" of two orc bases, a base of Dark Elves and a group of Black Dragons would be in disadvantage with us having an additional hero...

Oh boy, here comes the cavalry... I just can't wait to get murdered... but then again though the soldiers that im commanding have absolutely no worth since they are Golden Guard so i don't really care!

Well, if every Golden Guard could take ten demon slaves or demons with them, that would be great...

Maybe they can, just need a bit of motivation... ''Kill them already, you idiots'' should be a excellent compliment to make them continue fighting... yeah definetelyWell, if every Golden Guard could take ten demon slaves or demons with them, that would be great...

It seems that you will not stop increasing the difficulty of chapter 9 until it is impossible to finish

Sticking with normal is fine. It's a bit challenging but you will need to be patient. However, if by any chance it reached the point where victory is impossible, you can always finish it on easy because easy is challenging as well.It seems that you will not stop increasing the difficulty of chapter 9 until it is impossible to finish

Alright folks, I promised some spoilers for Chapter Ten, so here we go!
Chapter Ten will include the Golden Guard - namely Sir Praxeus "The Holy Bastion" Braelon.
The Dwarves will have to join a side in the human civil war - and they will also have to make a
choice that might change their very own society that has remained the same for centuries forever.

So if we chose the Golden Guard as our ally in this mission we will make it easier for ourselves, but at the same time the Dwarves will become our future enemy? Now that's a hard choice!
