You have never been able to repair trebuchets in Chapter Four.
That is Chapter Five exclusive, had always been.

Story
Betrayed, invaded, defeated.... The Humans of the Empire suffered greatly in their fight against the Demons. They have now lost another kingdom in the war against the Demons and the inner conflicts are just about to start. Only a strong hand and leadership can lead them to victory against these odds.
Command the cruel General Gardon Bloodclaw and unite the estranged factions of the Empire by any means necessary. Withstand your enemies, both inside and outside, and face the horrifying Demons.
The question is... how far are you willing to go for absolute victory? Will you have to sacrifice your humanity in order to achieve victory? Only time will tell.
Campaign Series Info
The Legends of Arkain is a campaign series which takes place on the world Arkain.
The races of Arkain fight against the demon invaders, who try once again to enslave every being on Arkain. The Humans, the Orcs and the Undead will have to make a stand against them... or face complete annihilation or enslavement by the Demons.
This campaign series will consist of actually three different series. There will be a Human, an Orc and an Undead campaign series. They will all run in the same timeline but will present three different stories and outcomes. When they are all finished, it's completely up to you, who wins this conflict.
Those, who win the war, will write the history.

Features
- Three different storylines/campaign series
Take control of one of the three factions, the proud Humans of the Empire, the plundering and strong Orc Clans or the mysterious Undead Nexus and their endless army of the dead, and face the demonic invasion as well as other struggles that await you.
- New units
Command units, you already know, as well as completely new units with new upgrades and abilities.
- Decide the fate of Arkain
At some points of the campaigns, you'll have the opportunity to decide things, that affect the storyline, characters and sometimes even the chapters you play or how you have to play them. By doing or, well, not doing certain side quests, you can also affect the campaign.
- Three difficulties
You can play the campaign in either easy, normal or hard difficulty, just like in the original WC3 campaigns. It will impact on the AI difficulty and scripting as well as other minor changes.
In easy version, for example, the AI won't rebuilt lost buildings.
- Full Jass AI
In this campaign series, every single AI is written in Jass instead of being created with the AI editor. This makes the AI more intelligent.
- Universal hotkeys
All abilities, units and buildings use QWER hotkeys.
- Race Mechanics
Every available race has its own unique race mechanic to improve gameplay - and, in some cases, to add new ways influencing the story.
Characters
General Gardon Bloodclaw
General Gardon is the most ruthless and merciless general in the Empire. He is known for using every available weapon against his enemies without showing any pardon. His background is a mystery. He simply appeared out of nowhere and became general. He proved very fast, that he got that position for a good reason, destroying the enemies of the Empire with fast, merciless effectiveness. He is the commander of the Ironfist, an elite force of the Empire, which often carries out top secret missions for the Emperor himself. According to rumors, Gardon himself enjoys the favor of the Emperor - much to the frustration of many higher-ranking Imperials. Yet none would dare make a move against him, as in the past, such attempts ended in disaster.
The fact that Gardon was forced to retreat because the inner conflicts of the Imperials had weakened them too much, infuriated him a great deal and he longs for a chance to take revenge on the traitors.
Admiral Merlon Seabright
Both in the Imperial and Royal Fleets, Admiral Merlon Seabright is a living legend. It is said that he was the captain of the ship that killed the Terror of Feraldir, a gigantic, demonic sea monster that had terrorized ships for thousands of years. Merlon dislikes staying on the shore for longer than absolutely necessary, for the sea is his true home. He is said to have been a critic and even an enemy of Gardon Bloodclaw until the two of them were assigned to a special mission. After that mission, Merlon remained silent about Gardon and even proclaimed to assist Gardon whenever he was needed.
Today, he is Gardon's most loyal ally who is not part of the Ironfist.
Larine the Exile
Larine used to be the personal guard and a good friend of the elven queen. However, she began criticizing the fact that the Elves were hiding in their woods instead of fighting side-by-side with the Imperials and Dwarves. She blamed the Queen for the fact that the Elves were despised by many of the Humans who had been forced by their surperiors to defend them. She left the Elven Kingdom and was later exiled. She went to the court of King Dorten of Kerrel and started working for him, gaining his respect. Trained in both archery and nature magic, she is ready to fulfill her surperior's every command.
Lady Cora Redfist
Following her father's wishes reluctantly, Cora joined the Imperial Army instead of continuing her studies in the Imperial Academy. Having proven herself as a valuable asset of the army, she was given the offer of joining the Imperial Navy. She had always loved the sea and knowing that the Imperial Navy would enable her to progress further in her studies of water magic, Cora accepted the offer and became a member of the navy, later serving as the liaison officer between the Imperial Navy and the Golden Guard.
Over time, she developed a certain dislike for Renald van Durce, the general of the Golden Guard, considering him arrogant beyond measure.
Lord Brian the Fallen
Long ago, before the Empire had set sail over the sea, Lord Brian was a high-ranking member of the Emperor's court. People were afraid of the lord in dark armor who was said to study the forbidden dark arts of Shadow Magic. One day, he and his family disappeared without any trace of their whereabouts. Since he didn't return after many years, people started to believe he had died. However, in truth, he had discovered ancient secrets and power. Whatever happened to him, it made him immortal and gave him unknown power and knowledge. It remains a mystery what he has done over the past centuries.
High Lord Inquisitor Renald van Durce
Being one of seven younger brothers of the former emperor and therefore one of the uncles of the current Emperor, Renald could have lived a peaceful life of luxury in the Imperial palace. However, he loathed his other brethren for letting the luxury make them become lazy and corrupt. Becoming a great warrior-priest and leader, he himself led the final assault that removed all Demons from the continent of the Empire. Renald had always been arrogant, but his success made it even worse. However, his loyalty towards the Emperor is almost limitless and only the Emperor himself can command van Durce. Whenever he and his Golden Guard are sent on a mission, the Emperor sends his finest, most loyal and most arrogant soldiers.
His full title is:
High Lord of the Imperial Court, Lord Inquisitor of the Order of the Righteous, Lord Consultant of the Emperor, General of the Golden Guard.

What do you think, people, can you figure out what the chapters will be about?
Chapter 8 may be about Aedale. Maybe Harmos to the rescue?
Chapter 9 bets against Van Durce.
Chapter 10 will possibly reinforce Gardon with Aedale+Harmos+Kasrkin.
Chapter 11 must get Salana and Larine together! Salana overcomes her obsession (or maybe possession) with Gardon to realize she desires Larine and that Larine desires her.
Chapter 12 ought to bring another demon legion to the stage.
Chapter 13 could reveal Brian´s true face.
Chapter 14 will kill them all.
So, how close am I?

I guess 14 would be a miss to have everyone killed. At least one of them would be needed to advance, unless plots get different paths.

8 : Gardon's Forces vs Golden Guard Elites (van Durce) [the Fire]
9 : Aedale's Demonic Forces vs Kingdom of Kernel + Golden Guards + Valorian's Army [the Hate]
10 : Gardon's Forces + Kingdom of Kernel vs Demonic Legion [the Aid]
11 : ??? [the Desires]
12 : Gardon's Forces vs Kingdom of Kernel [the Slaughter]
13 : Valorian's Battle (Aedale) [the Monster]
14 : Lord Brian's Revelation(?) [the Truth]
My opinion. I have an alternative though, with the Fire being Aedale's mission and the Hate being Gardon vs van Durce.

@Daffa the Mage I respect your opinion,but only 1 mission where we fight the demons?I think that's not enough.Just my opinion though.

Remember that we fought demons in chapter 2 as well. About as much demon fighting as in the first book.

Yes i know,but Gardon has to prove he can beat the demons.Leaving the undead to do that,while he only fights the Golden Guard and Royal armies just doesn't seem right.It completely contradicts his idea of a bulwark against the dark.If you wonder where im getting these ideas read the short story of Arkain ''Aftermath''.

The demons can be involved inside those fights, especially ones related to Aedale and Valorian. There are a LOT of things we can't be certain of as of now. I have a hard time guessing Desires though.
By ratio, in the second book we only directly engage demons on Chapter 2. The rest are we get involved with them but not as main target of the missions. Unless I forgot something.

@Daffa the Mage My guess with desire is that it will have something to do with Aedale.She has a desire to prove herself to everyone and if you corrupt her in the first book she will certainly have the desire for more power.It's just a guess,but a pretty believable one if you think about it.And you haven't forgotten anything we only directly engaged them in chapter 2.

It's understand able to have demons as less focus then. You can't beat an enemy while torn apart.

@Daffa the Mage Yep,once Van Durce has been taken of,the demons can become a bigger priority.
@Boriss I don't think he will release it soon,even the screenshots and the spoilers are work in progress.He doesn't exacly have a schedule.He will release it when it is finished.
Edit:Finally,it's time to fight them after so many diversions.Please don't introduce new omega broken and op demon units,save that for Karskin mode.

@DD Mikasa What he actually said is that he was going to do a major update(subfactions,gameplay and story changes and more),but he cancelled it,because he wanted to complete the second book 1st.So just wait.
Edit:Shar i have a few new ideas you may like or not
Edit:Shar i have a few new ideas you may like or not
-When you start making the second undead book i have a nice idea about a passive skill for Sir Edoarus,what im talking about is a passive that instantly kills a unit under a certain % of health.It would fit him pretty well,since he is called the executioner.There is no need to add it,but just consider it.
-This is a very small thing,before you kill Lerrig in chapter 1 he says to Gardon ''you're scum''.Shouldn't it be you're a scum or your a scum
-In every mission where you won't have a base why not make all units have weapon and armour upgrades at level 3.Do you fear the missions will be too easy?
-This is a suggestion that a lot of people have given you,it's about the first orc book.Replace Sasrogarn lightning shield with a better ability.Seriously,shamans have it,it's a basic ability.
-You may wanna fix the tooltip on Gardon's E
level 1 -7 damage,33%lifesteal thats ok
level 2-14 damage,66%lifesteal this is also ok
and we get to level3-7 damage,33%lifesteal again?Fix it to 21 damage,100%lifesteal.

I don't have a timetable, I don't have the time for Arkain timetables. :dHow does it look with the next chapter Shar? Planning a release anytime soon? Or do you work without any timetable?:
I know the model, it has no real portrait, though.
The current form is absolutely correct.

You're not annoying, as I said, suggestions are always welcome.
I just don't want people to be discouraged if I state that I am not going to add their suggestions.
Also, I cannot always say yes or no immediatly after reading.
Anyway, here a quick reply ( I will just give your suggestions numbers from 1 to 5 to make replying without quotes easier) :

1) I like the idea, however, such an ability can be too OP easily. His abilities are not done yet, though, so who knows?
2) Already replied
3) The upgrades are in the way they are for difficulty reasons
4) I will take another look at Sasrogarn's abilities when the Orc Book gets ithe big update it desperately needs.
5) Already fixed for the current WIP version.

I feel you man.There was a progress bar on the official thread,but it got removed by Shar,because it was confusing,even if a map was 99% there was no guarantee it was going to be released soon.Gods, if there was any progress bar Id stare on it nonstop until next release

Hey everyone,
I just noticed how outdated that poll was (again) and therefore added some characters to it.
IN ADDITION, I have allowed up to THREE votes instead of just one, since there are so many characters.
The other polls will receive a similar update as well at some point.
Feel free to adjust your vote/s!

@Shar Dundred looks like we'll be breaking into Dan Durce's golden guard fortress to extract harmos and finish off Van Durce, am I right ?

Most of the Golden Guard are either dead or joined Gardon, the Elves are with Gardon and the Dwarves are most certainly pissed with the Empire's plan...I think the time has come for the Reckoning...

A lot of golden guard may have been killed or joined our side,but they are a way bigger force than even Gardon's army.Sadly i don't think the Dwarves will even try to help us in this mission.Also this mission may feature the return of Lerrig,if you didn't kill him in chapter 1.If he is given command of a large force and really is as bad as Gardon said this should make the mission easy.Just my opinion though.

Wow,we will attack Van Durce in the next chapter?Man,i guess what Gardon said in the end of chapter 7:
''It is time to face Van Durce himself'' didn't just give it away!

There is a bigger chance for MouMou to kill me for improving his arkain wiki XD
I wrote an entire essay on Gardon Bloodclaw
.A very bad one,but still an essay!Who is mr. shad btw,i'd really like to meet him.
Also Shar if you ever add voice acting,which isn't needed,but will be cool have YetAnotherYoutuber voice all the characters.He already proved he can do it so all i can say is #GiveYetAnotherYoutuberachance

You know if you take into consideration the behind the scenes of arkain cinematic and realise people that go into arkain industries never return and after that you realise that they die on set according to the cinematic,you know you're watching and playing a snuff film at the same time.So what im trying to say is that Shar works on his campaign pretty fast,he just needs to find suitable replacements for his no showing workers.So yeah you just got the worst conspiracy theory of all time.Now pretend this theory is false just like Emperor Theodor the second of the human empire and just move on.
My dump conspiracy theory aside though,seriously DD Mikasa i understand you want the new chapter to come out faster and so do i,but Shar is a busy man.Being a banker ain't easy.He has to work a lot.

So you mean to tell me that maybe Gardon will be Brian's son ,we will face Lord Jaraxxus and we will kill people,but my 3 statements about fire are wrong!Damn and here i thought this chapter was gonna be about fire!
Also is my conspiracy theory about Arkain true?I want Shar to confirm this!This may expose the dark side of the series!
