Kind of funny how i spammed arcane towers to reveal the shades and then rushed to kill them with shadow stalkers. After they were gone the bases soon followed as they couldn't reveal the shadow stalkers anymore. Yeah it's a pretty effective tactic. At least for me it worked.

Whos gonna bet Shar will make those shades invulnerable? :D :D

Laddie just don't suggesting it more
you people are the reason why he M A K E your gaming A R K A I N life in hell

and also why he never make it easy

cause one i remember that arkain is supposed to be a challenge for "Pro warcraft players" to the test to see that they would survive

1) double posting, merge those 2 posts into 1
2) that mission can be very easily finished without using this sneaky tactic, it just takes longer

Well in that case the shadow stalker tactic for destroying the bases will be rendered useless and i will have to try something more innovative.
But Kasrkin mode is yet to be released so one can only dream... ;)

Wouldnt exactly call that Kasrkin mode, since I managed to beat that mission very easy even on normal without your cheesy tactics. Probably did it on hard too. Besides, aint no fun just stabbin everyone from the stealth.

It took me a whole lot of work just to find and take that annoying Mayor out (No cheating for hardcores) Really an intense and thrill fight. xD

I think that is one of the most enjoyable things in Arkain. It keeps you occupied for sometimes 4 hours. Not the usual max pop and attack move to the enemy base.

Indeed.
The harder and longer the mission = The more satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment you get from it.
Maybe that's why i never play on hard. :p

Btw, guys do you have any idea when we will get new update?? @Boriss , @Championfighter25
Merge your posts using the green edit button. Sorry, but this is part of the site rules.
Anyway now to the question. I have no idea since Arkain updates aren't given a date of release. What i can tell you is that the creator said he will soon release a sneek peek portraying the newest chapter that is in development.

I think there are some things that we will never put our hands on.I guess Thanok being playable is one of them...Even tho there can still be hope.Once upon a time elites were ment to be AI exlusiv too.
A man still can hope i guess.

@DD Mikasa , I always imagined thanok as combination of MK and BM. Criitcal strike, bash, life steal/stun, avatar. HP around 1200, damage 60-80( level 10) with 12 armor. I always want to see thanok cutting his enemies left and right. Damn, I am still begging for thanok.

Oh, Thanok will surely appear as an unplayable hero at some point.
Not in the way you are thinking of right now, though.

I got his heroic stuff done quite a while ago - just not in the campaign files.

@Shar Dundred , do you have any idea how that sounds to me? It's like you bring a lovely lady with you, get rid off your clothes, had an massive erection and she left at the next moment, leaving you in a state of shock and frustration. You my friend, surely mastered the art of breaking hearts. :'( :'(

I hope when Thanok appears as a unplayable hero to be in either chapter 11, 12 or 14, because that's when we will need him the most.
Also don't worry people just because Thanok will be unplayable in the second book doesn't mean we won't see him playable in a spin-off campaign.

Judging from what you said i think you are doing a massive Arkain update. Maybe the update for the 1st books? Maybe adding the sub-factions? Reworking some chapters from the 2nd book? I guess time will tell.

We have yet to see or know his abilities.
He might be a normal human being for all we know.
He doesn't need to be a hero to have abilities. We have many of those around. He serves in an army and has a rank.

1st ability: impales a unit, instantly killing him
2nd ability: impales a unit, instantly killing him
3rd ability impales a unit, instantly killing him
Ultimate: IMPALES A UNIT, INSTANTLY KILLING HIM!!!!!
Seems like a legit skill set to me. :D

He isn't. Shar confirmed he is the like ambassador of the black dragons that served the Zyainor empire.
Also in the interlude after chapter 8 the mother of the black dragons said they sent one of their own kind to help Gardon on his missions. And while not directly, she was strongly referring to Thanok, who was in the same room. So taking all that into consideration Thanok is a dragon disguised as a human.

Shar has the habbit of playing with our minds.
I would think not twice not thrice but uncountable times before I make sure of our great Tyrant's words.
In the end, his will be done.

Of course, the story and what is right and wrong changes constantly. I'm just saying what i think is right at the moment.

Don't worry, it didn't die in vain. It's plastic will be used in the construction of destructors and its metal parts will make great swords for the ironfist footmen. Also we can use its long cable to hang van Durce.

Nope, not van durce.I will hang orc bastards first, then demons. Van Durce will come at last.

Btw, guys when we will be getting next big update?

Apparently something exciting happened that caused delay of the next chapter. From what Shar said its something very positive for the entirety of Arkain.

It is boiling.

Jokes aside, I know, I know, it has been a long time, everyone wants to know what's next...
Arkain Industries will reward you for your patience when the time is right.


Give us new chapter, Give us paladins, give us cheaper elites, give us thanok. :p:p:p
