Let's go visit Jonesy. I'm still trying to just get over everything that happened there, man. Yeah, we've got a huge couple of turns. Picked up two more towns. The dungeon is very well built, like. Gorgeous. Thane's gonna pick up spell points. I mean, I've just got everything going on here. I've got the best of it all. Coreback's dead. And the turn? Yeah. Well, do I need to think about Gantry? Should I get the Gantry? I could always decide that later. I could build the Gantry day seven, upgrade it day one, that kind of thing. So Red has little to do. Here we go. Ah! Bring it on. I can Town Portal. Fairly. I can Fairly Town Portal. Check the stronghold against. Oh, Ryss has not gonna pose a problem. I thought that might be Astral. Astral is their next best hero. Intius, your job is the easiest. We just want you here for day one. Okay, get him done. Jury just killed a red hero that was here. Who never came here. Will we get this free experience? Ah, okay. Can I actually learn? Can I actually learn how to use these screening troops in a sensible way? So let's start by waiting. See, I just don't feel like they're gonna matter. Because these stacks don't matter, right? But let's imagine these would be nasty stacks. Okay, that's quite annoying. Well, there you go. They did actually do something there. You do nothing, but this is just a kill in one go right here. Don't need to use these guys for anything else. I mean we can kind of body block. We could do this. Just kind of force that to stay away from that. No, that didn't work. No, hang on. Yes, I did. I don't think... I'm obviously, it's not the right opponent for me to be testing it out against. Do I want intelligence? I think I take anything I can get. She's not a premium hero and it's a free skill. I mean I'm not gonna probably fill all these up for the end of the time. Rissa, how could Rissa get there today? You know what? Boom and boom and boom. Come on over, Rissa. Feel free. Plancy. You're next. Let's do this. Let's learn something out here in the... I've got knowledge with this guy. He knows blind, right? I just don't think that's worth bothering. Do it again. I see something. Ooh. Learned who? Well done, Clancy. You actually have discovered something. Solmere? What does Thane know? Does he know Dimension Door? He does. Well, how delightful. I could Dimension Door down to here. There was a purple hero in here. Um, I might just replay the turn. Can I beat that hero? Why wouldn't I start leveraging Dimension Door? So I can just Dimension Door to here. I immediately reveal all this map. Causing to rest and light a cook fire. You pull out wood. You pull wood out of a nearby lumber cart as you keep pulling wood out of the cart. You notice its cargo doesn't shrink. You realise to your delight that the cart is enchanted. So you take it along. One extra wood per day. Uh, can I do the utopia? How do I enter the utopia? Uh, I can, but my army is not good enough for that, is it? Just don't run out of moves, man, because I'm going to want you to Dimension Door again now in a second. Where did Bron go? Solmere could come looking for him. Solmere could come galloping this way. I could Dimension Door one more time. The other thing he could do is... Hmm. Ooh, hello. Yes, we're going there, I think. There's Clancy. And I'm just going to sit on the portal in case, uh, there's bad guys up here. And if Thane gets his butthand to him again, I can lose that army and rebuild and restock and use the information to my advantage. I'm happy with this. Um, right. Over here, these girls. Now, in order for her to get over the crest, let's come here first. Earth magic. Okay. I'll fly to here. Um, I'm saving my spell points. Yeah, okay. I fly over. Let me waste my moves. Isra and Sam meet once more in the swamp. Isra's like, Sam, you legend. Sounds like I know, I know. You should have seen me. You should have seen Corbac. He's dead now. Um, now, here is the tome of air magic. I want you to have it. Let me know earthquake. I'll be good at earthquake because you have ballistics. What else? Shaman's puppet. Reduce your enemies luck by two, as well as hideous mask. Um, I am going to give these to you? Well, you don't have a lot of room left. You've only got one slot left, so let's do Shaman's puppet for you. I have effect, I'm not using curse, so I effectively have an earthquake. It's not great. Talisman's actually not bad in this instance. I don't deal earth damage, but I'll keep this. Unicorn's main tome of air. Take a shield, right? Because we're long in shields now, we've got way too many. Yeah, so give that to someone else because I can't be blinded. You can't see. I've just given this to, just giving this to Isra. Okay, that was the main thing I wanted to do. Shaman's puppet, we want to start leveraging that as well. Because that's just so mean that's take to get that blanket debuff of minus two. It's really, really powerful. Okay, now Isra, what I'm thinking is instead of casting dimension door, could you just fly down here and then dimension door? Or should we just cast dimension door twice?  We do that. No, I can only do it once per day. A little 40% movement of 40% penalty to movement cost. That's interesting. So I looked it up there. Expert air magically allows you to fly around without penalty. You take 40% hit if you've got no skill in how to do it. And that'll mean that she won't actually get there. She's not an air mage. So I can either gallop with 40% penalty to here just for the sake of it, or I could try to dimension door and get there fairly with the boots. I think that's probably better. Okay, so keep the boots on. Jump to here. And yet whoever that is is dead. Stig. Stiggy? Stiggles?  Stig. Do we do the fight do you think? Let's do the fight. She has 14 spell points. Uh, will we let her do what she was going to do? Yes. Yeah, we'll just wait with everyone. Slow on the phoenixes. Yep, the stack dead.  27. I only killed two to three of those. It's interesting.  Oh wait, I'm not an air mage. She does know it. 705 is quite good. Implosion anything. 705. It's not quite a kill. I think I'm doing chain lightning. It's just because on the Wyverns it's perfect. It has to arc this way. I am burning up spell points. This does make sure that Stig is dead forever. So that's worthwhile. How much stuff has Red got that I'm just stealing off him? Fire element? What is this? Crown of the Five Seas. Lovely. Scales of the Greater Basilisk. Endless sack of gold. A grander day for that. Magnificent. Artillery's bonkers as I found out, but I guess I'll take the archery, right? That's a shame. Doesn't really suit what she wants to do. Neither's very good. Could get in a boat, but I kind of want to just come up into this region now and destroy anything I find. There's no way that's not taken. So I lose morale if I go there and it's been taken. You're standing there. Okay. Sam is already flying. She's just going to do the same thing I think. She could fly up this way maybe. So use topias I wonder if I'm supposed to go to. Now of all those amazing things you just picked up, knowledge by six actually isn't good enough. Power by three? A grand a day? Well, that's a pretty big loss of the puppet, but a grand a day is a grand a day. I'm going to say no to that. Find someone who she can give that to. Right. There's the green portal that that guy's standing on. How do I connect up with Isra? Who's going to do that and actually say hey guys? So I'm sort of here. I could get someone to hear Isra's on her way up this way. Okay. He's going to stay central. Isra's just going to have to carry the bag of gold around. That's just not a big enough priority to give her the shaman's puppet. It's going as usual. Everyone's tired so I'm going to stay happy standing there just for now. Yep. All right. Okay. Yeah. Coming back to try to undo the injustice, but that don't seem useless. Orange. Orange is being quiet. Like okay, what's Purple doing now? Let's have a look. Okay. Bron is a decent hero. Can I kill Bron with Dimension Door today? With this army? Hmm. Not really. Three firebirds. Fire. It's all a bit higgity-piggity. Close one, isn't it? I have good chain lightning. Let me just select this guy and then go down again and look at him and then we can compare the two armies. Okay. You guys can see that. I'm in between the two. Picture how this fight's going to go. If it's 400 Skeleton Warriors, it's going to go really badly. Or is it we're behind the walls for that? It's fine, you know. I don't have to defend the dungeon at all costs though, either. It's a stockpile anyway. So with that in mind, I can explore further up here. On the other hand, this guy is landing. This is orange country. Yeah. Lansing the adventurer. So I don't need to use Thane on the other hand. Okay. So let's say this guy is attacking. He won't. Bron won't beat me if I'm behind the walls with this army. So I could just go do that. And then tomorrow I can buy the Black Dragons, maybe the Minotaur's. Solnir explores the rest of what orange has to offer up here. I could build an absolute mixed and match army. Right, Angels, Firebirds. Got three Ket towns already. I could get the... I go to four towns and use the stronghold army.  Might be something I could do. But now, what if I just reveal a bit more map? Come galloping back over. Sit behind the walls again. Spell cancelled. No getting through here. No way you're getting through here. Don't really need that mage guild. I'm just gonna build this. I think it randomly... it randomly shows an external monster to summon. I don't want that giant though. Solnir, you're gonna stay in the region just because I feel like having another person around is gonna be quite useful. Okay. Jury is got the perfectly wrong timing for this. Do it anyway. Okay, Agar, do this. Intius, do this. Isra. She has the pathfinding boots. She hasn't visited that yet. Sam never went there actually. Let's go there and then decide what next. Okay, well, she could cast Fly now and fly over here. 385. I don't know if you're allowed to fly to a hex that is... Yeah, I don't think you can do that. Can I just fly off into oblivion? Could just Dimension Door up here though. Given that I can choose one or the other. I can go over here. Should I do that? I'll go this way because I think he's going the other way. You can't teleport with the Dimension Door from sea to land. Well, why did you give me the icon then? I can do that. Okay. Okay. But I'm stuck there now. Good job she's got spell points left to get out of there again. That's interesting. I've never seen that before. Sam continues her run. I don't want the Utopias because... I don't want the Utopias, do I? I don't want the Utopias. I don't think I do want to risk Utopia in because I'll have to cast spells. I'm going to lose some Nagas. The artifacts aren't that big a deal to me. Long ago it was taken care of. Okay, do it babe. We're just smashing through the countryside here. I love this. Spending no spell points to make unfair moves. Very unfair.  And the turn and the week. I'm happy with this fight. Right. I'm going to win that fight. Do it. I never checked who that is. So much action. Bronn is... No, Bronn can't do it. So much happened there. Finally he reveals himself. Astral. Traveling through the Astral Plane. Now who can get back to the Conflux? You have to be able to get to the town portal here. I mean you can't get there. She's way too far out of position now. Then again, could she go... Could she fly this way? Jump downstairs and make it? Probably not. Can Astral be beaten just with one week's worth of troops here? Because it's day one? I think he can. He's going to struggle, right? Even against one week of earth elementals and stuff. Where is this woman? She's too far from the action. Okay. I don't have anyone who can get there. Isra. I need you to... Oh wait, can Isra get there? How often can she cast it though? Once per day. She dimension doors to here. Gallops down under there. She would need to cast it again. Okay. Should I try that? And then after she's gone back there? She can come up here anyway? I think that's what I want to do. Yeah. Buy the moves that I need to get me to... Sometimes stuff just clicks. Astral. What's up? I'm not buying... I don't need to purchase any creatures from the Conflux. Quite happy to live and die by my convictions there. Intius, on the other hand. He's going to buy some of these and now his... Now his viability goes up substantially. Giselle is the hero I meant to check and she but she's just a joke. Just a practical joke of a hero, mighties. So I want to flag all this. They might be guarded. The stone doesn't matter much. Let's go do this job. It's a job to be done. Sorry.  What else am I doing here? Jury. She came very close. But what are you going to do? Are you going to attack?  Why don't I attack you?  I bet we do that. Spending some money but who cares? I'm not going to buy the big guys because I'll let them build up or risk them. Now of course I don't want the gargoyles. This stack of troops as I've drafted them here are good. Yes. I can cast a spell. I don't know how good a spellcaster Risser is but there's no way I'm losing this. Yeah, that's fine. A decent spellcaster actually. Okay so it's one of those ones where I just need to get the game over with very very quickly. So they died of this. They died of that. Let's just wait on. Well wait. Yeah we just try to make sure we end the game now. Might kill one. It's 50-50. So I could bless here just to make sure of that. That seems good. So that kills the giant or the wyverns. Yeah now I do hoggoblins take the damage and then these guys deal massive damage on 50.  That's better. Sack these guys. No sacker. Well 13 of these or 1 of these I think it's better to keep him.  This is what I probably over the years haven't done it though. Right let's say that before though there I get to go and actually want to lose that many gobbos but I get all her stuff. Bring up life is good. I mean hair magic I guess. I got wisdom. It doesn't take magic as well. Doesn't really make that much sense. First aid. Okay so we're killing all of their stuff pretty handily. It's really nice. Got myself a club. Drew is making a name for herself here. Stay central. Okay this guy go to the stable. Stay 1. Perfection. This guy's an absolute demon. Overland. Can't waste time doing that though. Hello. Oh don't actually have the wontons. That's really bad because it means that they're going to get a week's worth of quite valuable troops so that makes me want to try to do this with Thane. Bron has given up the ghost and run for it. So I have time. I don't want to fly. I could just fly. If I fly. Do I make it? I'll dimension door because then I can actually just dimension door again if I have to. I'll be pretty happy. I didn't bring any dungeon troops but I think that's okay. I don't really want them. Tons of moves left so I could grab his army quickly. The thunderbirds. My morale is so good that that's tenable. Tempted. No hero. It's all smallbier. It's all quite smallbier. Do you want the thunderbirds though? Okay. Oh that's right. I can teach you all my stuff. That's good. Hey man. Clancy. What are you trying to get done with your life man? One spell point per day. Decrease their luck. We'll see each other again tomorrow so let's take that. I'll take the glyph. I'll take the shield. That glyph will matter because I am going down on morale in a fairly major way. How about we let the engineers live? The question is though what is the arrow tower going to shoot and how sad will I be if it shoots something I care about like cyclopses? Yeah but these guys can't get anything done. Let's lose some cyclopses instead of these. Just because I have this romanticism thing going on with them. I just don't want them to die even though they don't actually do anything now. Okay do this. Wow look at that. Okay let's see if we can do a bit better. I think it's going to be hard to do better and do a bit better really. So a bolt from the blue might be in order here Thane. 400 HP. They're both about first. That's 600 down there. Call forth from the heavens. Do we try and kill this quickly? Yeah well I guess I'll try morale. I swear that's not... that's just me being awesome. It's not me being actually any more awesome than I normally am. I'm just getting a little bit full of myself here. Everything's just going my way you know. That doesn't do anything. Um okay. Cyclops dying retaliation? Oh that's a shame. I'm one off. I know the harpies are still there so. Boom. Kanan always shoots the walls that's quite interesting. Yeah this is exactly what happened in the auto resolve. Yeah I could not do better. Okay here it goes. Um yeah it's about the exact same. And I wasted some spell points too so that's always good. Hop in here grab this and I get the troops. You see that day one advantage I always talk about. Spend the night may as well. Clancy you're gonna want that plus one attack as well. Come on over and just do this on the off chance. It's very good though. What's in here? The HQ wise? I think we know everything now aren't we? Bok. We've er... hunk of the town of Bok. Don't need to buy these creatures today. You can just do it tomorrow. We're not under any pressure. Sam continues her run. What is that? Dendroid Arches. Okay there's a rampart near here. More Dendroid Arches. There it is. Let's go to fence. Hello. Woohoo well well well. Might not be having things all my own way hey? That's a lot of Dendroids isn't it? It's gonna hurt my stuff. I'll lose all the genies in the first turn. Teleport the Titans and stuff I guess. It's not a fight I really want to do actually. So I'm not gonna. They get another week's worth of troops but out in the open they'd be absolutely toast. They do get the first turn. It's all because of the gold dragons. That's one thing. Oh hey there's a hero here. Hey Melodia. I just spotted her. Okay. Well let's remember she's there. Okay Solmia. Could you be ready to defend? I am ready to defend. I'm ready to do any of these things. I can come here tomorrow and defend against Brom. If that's what you want. It is man. Just get a little bit closer to the action for me. I have to decide whether I want him to have quick access to the... He's kind of just keeping an eye on everything at the moment you know. Okay with the 55 grand I can't get main. I really get you the army. It's way out in the middle of nowhere doing... Why are you doing anything? You're up here. The only thing I could do is bring an army to here that he then comes and picked. Comes and collects. Could do that. He could just fly over here grab the army and fly back again. How good is that? Well it's just codles and these guys now it's just not that important I'm afraid. We could reunite Clancy with his codles. I have more engineers. I think it's okay. Engineers matter over here. All right let's do that. And then we have the option gunslingers are up as well. Let's get the stacks we know we want and the sandworms are back online as well now. They've built up. Is that a useful thing for Clancy to have now? Just give them a one-shot injection of cool creatures from the factory. I mean maybe we can decide later and just buy this stuff and not really worry too much right? Let's get the bounty hunters. There it is. Let's just get these guys and give them a try at bounty hunters. Amazing man. Sandworms. Automatons. I'm gonna take it all. I'm gonna take it all over to here or even better here and she's gonna come and pick it up. Not she. He. Thane. I left them behind. Oh sorry. Stupid. Thane. Hang on you do this. I can fix it. Wait I can fix it. Oh I have somebody. What an owner. I need you again. Oh actually I'm at it. Boom boom boom. All right the bounty hunters are coming with me. Silly. Sorry. Silly things at the end of uh end of glory. That's it. No construction here. None needed. Freelancers Guild. I could sell the angels. Let's try this. Hello. Only visiting heroes can go there. Okay I'll probably forget that tomorrow. Do it. What are you gonna do? Yeah nothing. What are you gonna do? I don't think. Desperation. I don't accept these losses. Astral. Oh boom boom. Yeah. Astral, astral, astral. I didn't buy any reinforcements for this at all.  Just to be really mean. Feel that. Well okay. Let's see what you did there. I don't actually have protection from earth so even if I thought it was a thing I could hinge against it. It isn't really waste them. That was a personal attack there that implosioning my skelly pile. That was one last little vindictive thing wasn't it? It's like you've completely annihilated our faction. But you know what Isra? One last little nasty meanness there. Anyway I'm gonna raise some of them back. Every fifth level spell is mine to cast. That's great. That frees up some slots actually. I'm a get in. I've got all the earth spells named to man. What don't I have golden bows good for me? Head of Legion? Ah that was mine anyway. That was supposed to be mine and there's protection for earth. Okay red heroes have not abandoned them yet. Yeah Melodia you're probably dead love. Sorry about that. Ron. Okay and Isra a nice old shame about skeletons. I brought a hundred back. Now let me do Winona. It does this. And then we dismiss her. Sorry babe. I'm coming to here with this cool new army for you. What happens? I haven't done this in years. Freelance is gild. Can sell two angels for some money? Five birds? Well am I getting very good money for them am I? Okay well I don't agree to any of those prices so that's fine. Now I can dimension door a couple of times so I could do it to here back to here but it might be more efficient to fly. First class.  Now what am I gonna do here?  I'm good with air magic chain lightning is my main thing that I do. I also have expert haste which I'm quite good at. Damage dealing. You have archery and archery goes well with the Cyclops. You also have far less flexibility than me. Ballistics wisdom. Armourer. I'm the Hymerile guy so I can use fire birds and angels to prop myself up. And I can get by with I think I think Thane can be the factory guy. That's how we'll do it. Thane is the factory guy. Okay so leave these here. I will be the factory guy. I'll be the everything else guy. And Clancy is gonna be the Stronghold guy. All right so there you go. Um I either want to fly now or DD to here and then fly here. If I cast fly first and fly to about there. Yeah let's do that. I think that works. I don't know fly. I thought I did. No it's Isra that knows fly. All right two DD's. Multiple DD's actually. Gets me to here. Okay I've only got some lessons for you old mate. Now I am still carrying these too. So there could be some problems here. Don't think I'm gonna have enough room for everything. Should have left some of this at home. That's my bad. Have a Centaur's axe. You deserve it having this as well. Okay I'll let the angels go. Yeah. Yep let's do that.  The pleasure was mine. Man he gets tired quickly doesn't he? I wish he had the way the Pathfinder's boots. I give them to him but I can't so Clancy pops in here. Gets the attack. Picks up the army. Grab the extra kind of army. These are good investments. Put some Ogre mages behind the wall right now. Come and see me now my man. My bro. Give me these girls. I've got 95 of them now that's pretty nice. What else do we want to do here? I want to keep them around. I'm gonna be doing gunslinging.  Oh I'll keep these rids. I'll keep the rids. Kept his cannon as well there. No sorry he kept his cannon that's fine. Okay both guys still have moves. But Clancy is the one who really knows how to move. Fantastic that's great. Right you know what you're doing. You're coming to here. And then you can deed it again.  Ballistics.  You've got tons. I'm not skilled enough. I can only do it four times even though I'm a... Yeah that's fine. What is that? A Cyclops Cave? That's knitting. Alright so if I come back and take the town if there's someone lurking around here they've got to get past those Ogre mages. Okay these are all good things. We're conquering the map. Hurrying up. Isra now that you've conquered and stopped that nonsense. Do you want to just come upstairs now? Well yeah yes and no. Yeah Isra would be a better place to do this fight right? She's the one I want not Sam. Sam I think is going to fly down here. Kill Melodia. Do this scout. So back here at home what I want to do is get the phoenixes. I'll run out of money. Actually run out of money. What was the pity? So caught up in the fun and awesomeness of what I was doing flying around the map. I've got to keep an eye on the pennies. Now with that said the death of the rampart is not a high priority it can wait but I'd like to be able to move and get out there. So Juri could you disappear? Could you just disappear for a second? I'd like to get his removing. She's going to come kill the rampart and someone's going to come and feed her the troops she needs to do it. This is all safe now. There's no activity in this area anymore. I am safe. Say that really confidently. That was done. So I'm hiring and firing here. Ashlyn and then it's a bit late for her now. Neither of them have any skill in movement. Should take the Ashlyn. Wait here Ashlyn. Buy the stuff tomorrow. This is useful on day two.  I think she's just going to lightning bolt and then feed. Maybe I ask for that. It's okay. It's all right. It's not really quite mad about it. Isra is going to come and kill Wild Willow. So I don't need to stress myself out. I think we just keep galloping east. There's another hero though. It's a waste of my time. Somia stays in position. Again? Where did Bron go? Okay. Yeah well let's go and defend against Bron. Oh I can't. I don't have enough money. Oh well that's going to make me sad if he takes the dungeon. I didn't see that. Let's make it difficult for him. I've got a lot of surplus resources now and I can afford to be quite wasteful. Crystal I'm still a bit nervous about. Buy what you can with this lot. All right buy what you can with that much money.  I'm going for these guys. How good is this against Bron? It's quite good with Somia as well behind the walls. Yeah. Got some confidence here now. Somia. Come on down. Gets the XP. I have the best stacks just buy them and I could give up these three girls in exchange for 16 harpy hags. It's actually a tough fight. Does Somia have any chain lightnings? He doesn't. Let's do everything we can. Who knows we might be losing the losing the guy here. Ten spell points. It's going to be tight. I need you to get back here. I needed one of what I should have done. I said we should have sent one of these guys back through the portal. It's a mistake. Yeah Clancy's up here and Hathane's up here. Both my good heroes. Don't need all four of you pushing. That's a mistake. Let's see what happens Bron. What are you going to do?  Well okay go. I never even looked what this is. Let me just see what this is. Ooh okay I did not see this. Yeah it's so easy at this stage of the game to mess up and accidentally you blow it and you lose a crucial town and you got to redo everything. What do these guys do? Cursors enemies? Okay well what can I do? Are you on a telephone? I'm not thinking too hard about these decisions. Cast good luck on the cannon. They're quite tough little dudes aren't they the leprechaun. 15 health yeah. What do you feel like? Garewalk's committing suicide? Oh that stinks. We should have walked out with the golems. Trying to end the fight sooner. Oh I can't actually get to him. Hey wait that's that guy. Well no that's it. I can't walk out to him either. He's blocking the gate. Let's just get this fight finished. Yeah lost all my Gremlins.  Okay whatever but that happens. I'll take that pay attention Paul. Who are you? Red has run out of road. Purple? Okay is that Bron? Now here he comes. Damn it. Oh I'll turn one. The gate's open. Okay all right all right I don't mind. Come back and tidy it up won't we? I could park someone here in front of the gate. Who wants to be the uh maybe the Minotaurs? Park these guys here. Okay too good. I was under the impression the AI did not know how to do that so that's excellent actually that it can. We are gonna say goodbye to Solmia sadly. Some might say I was reckless to uh haven't seen that move for a long time. Some might say I was reckless to try to defend it.  There's a button here behind me that you can't see um which is just delightful. Killing nowhere near enough of anything. Try here I guess but it's nothing really happening. Kill one Scorpicor. Killing two of these seems useful. Solmia you've been a loyal loyal man. I do need to strike and return and save with you. Do this. Yeah let's um uh this mint doset just doesn't attack. Oh everyone's dying. Oh there's no time. I was gonna blind someone or something. I had ideas. I had big plans. Oh ballistics. Bron is good. Respect man. Got one last nasty strike in me. Kill a Scorpicor. Um no kill some of these and then you do that. It's intelligently using the hexes. That might be an upgrade in um one of the abyss uh sorry version 1.7. Your force is for a bit of defeat and Solmia abandons your cause. That does hurt. I'm gonna miss the old guy. Beaten by Bron. Victim of um overconfidence. We should remind ourselves that overconfidence is a completely insidious killer. Okay I am going to dimension door one two three times to there four times to there. I'm gonna be exhausted. Can I beat Bron? What did he leave behind? Can I beat Bron in the open? Yeah I'm still got tons of spell points left there. Two.  Could have brought maybe I could have brought the stronghold stuff with me. Quite a nasty fight. His ballistics won't matter. What else did he add? Good luck. I get the first turn with the firebirds and I'm going to chain lightning.  I'm going to electrify and it electrifies. You're in a feeling. Crack. Or I could crack this way but then the first 810. Or I could crack in the middle. One two now. I'm just doing that right off the bat. Got this way. I can't think what else I want to do right. I'm an expert mage. This is what I was born to do. Now for the record I wouldn't know the spell if it wasn't for Sony. He taught he taught me it. I'm gonna miss him. Damage 380? Oh look at my power. My spell power. His power is only three. Oh that's because of my interferency stuff. Ah we're both completely interfering. That's interesting. So should I expert haste instead? Expert haste good? I'm gonna try going in vulnerable. Smash the score because with expert haste I'm just gonna try that. Going vulnerable. Land here. So did they retaliate? They don't even retaliate, they just don't do it. Do this. This attack seems good. The other thing I could do is just sit back, let his ranged attackers do what they're gonna do. Let's just land here and do this. I mean that's just a good attack. It just deletes that nonsense. Sandworms I've got 18 of them. I can kill a lot of these. Quite a lot of these. Might be the way to go.  Lost one.  So the Black Knight is a pretty nasty stack.  Let's go for the Whites. All right here we go bounty hunters. Let's watch them in action. Okay ready for the attack animation here it comes. Lightning Bolt. Automatons. Yes please attack my automatons. That's amazing. I love you to do that. Do this. Here come the girls. Oh that's quite bad. Paralysis. Oh no! Haste isn't enough. Come to here. Jump roll up. There we go. Yay! You can either kill all them or a couple of them. Finish them off for me maybe. Do that. There's the work. But armadillos. That's where I want you to be. Yay. Taking hits so that other people don't have to. That's your job. Who's the sickest? 20 HP here. Bring back one of these or I can bring back five of that. So we'll do that. I'm no longer invulcable. Let's see. What can I do with this girl? I could dispel the paralysis. Just do this. I just pile a lightning bolt into them. Doesn't seem good. Anytime it doesn't work let's try just lightning bolting. It's just okay. I've got a good chance of not losing one here. 90 damage. That's pretty good. And this is the attack I wanted to do here. It writes itself. Hit this stack. Tomatons. It's doing very congested. I think I'm here and do this. Solid. Solid. Okay, bronze please. Game on. Okay that was all right. It's okay. We lost some sandworms. We lost some more tomatons. Didn't get to do the repair. Kept all of our best sort of tier six tier sevens. I'm going to pause it here and be back later. Back in action. I think Thane is just going to take the town back right now.  Can I cast this one more time? That's just not fair. Let's do this fight. Oh no. Well we get to see the damage animation. Ah, shame about that. Bit of a shame. I haven't had a chance to do much. Mana vortex. Gets me back to 260. Do I get to use that? It's already been used by Bron. Right, do I kill G? Do I bother? So why don't I leave some troops behind? Who can I leave behind? I might leave the bounty hunters here. Okay. I didn't build them early enough and I didn't collect a big enough pile of them for us to really test them out. They'll be good defenders. I still have a viable army. Yeah. Let's do that. If G comes with that army. Oh I don't really want to. What could I do?  That's worthwhile. Let's just kill while we can. Good or dead. 60 of 60. So yeah, she'll probably just cast Lightning Robin and runs away. Although, could I get her? Could I catch her out? Kill 7. Kill 62. Could I catch her out with a quick haste here? Kills 5 to 7. Let's try to kill 7. No deal. I've got lots of morale. What about you? No, you don't have morale. Expert haste. It doesn't do it because they won't go farer. Yeah, it's been nerfed. It's only plus 5. I'm pretty sure it used to be plus 6. All right. What are you going to do? No morale? I might get morale. I have morale. I'm in armadillo. Just Lightning Bolt on her turn and then she disappears. That stinks. All right. We still have a viable army. It's all right. Intious. I don't know. Well, will there be guards here now? Do I care? I don't need you to learn anything. Oh yeah, Ashlyn's going to do this. Let's do this and then come back to Intious. So Ashlyn is going to buy the stuff and I'll just do it this way. What do I do? Click this button. Buy everything except the sprites for 20 grand. No, I couldn't get it all because it wasn't room. Yeah. All right. Ashlyn Isra meets her old sparring partner Ashlyn. Ashlyn, I have something urgent for you to do. Take this endless sack of gold. Ashlyn's like, I can't believe how far you've gotten in this run. It's so unfair. Usually I'm the star of the show, not this time, Ashlyn. Oh, take some armor. Take some equipment because I'm never going to use all these things. Every level five spell, Isra already knows how to fly, already has all the air and earth she could ever want. It's better for Ashlyn to have that, actually. There's the red dragon. Any other dragon stuff? We're not doing the dragon thing now. I'm not going to care too much. I'm not going to try to do it. Take another shield of the awning dead. Take the awe. Oh, I haven't checked this properly. I've got this bow I've got to use. Is Earth Elemental still a thing for me? I think we keep the puppet. So we have the option. What we're doing with it? Yeah. Coming along here to do this job. I do have one dimension door up my sleeve. I could just do it on a sleeve, though. I think we give ourselves the option to not stay the night. It's only 25 out of 260. All right. I'm a loadier. No, okay. Apply this battle result immediately. Okay. Charmin's puppet is everywhere now. What's in here? Visions? All right. There is a hero. 169 battle dwarfs and 71 ants. It's going to take quite a bit of killing. I have Earth Elemental's ballistics. I do have implosion. Okay. It's a good solid army. It's going to be quite a painful fight. I'm thinking that we will just swap the earth and magics over and the sort of skeletons all die. Yeah. Tough fight. Tough fight. We're going to take some serious casualties here, but let's just do it. We do win, but lose everything. Okay, let's see if we can do better. Okay, it is Malcolm. And what's a priority here? The only stacks that can't get in are the magic and earth ellies. So I should get the towers I'm going to target to start with. You've got movement 13, but that's not as good as me. I almost like implosion on the Phoenix's triple morale. So expert sorrow could be quite good as well. Don't have meteor shower switched on. I didn't equip that book. I'm still wielding the book of air. I don't have meteor shower. That may be a mistake. Let's try to knock out a narrow tower, and then I'll make my decision about spells. Let's see how it goes. I used to have this belief that it was harder to hit this top one than it was at the bottom one. I just get to wait. Just do the meanest thing I can think of. Okay, the elves get to shoot is the only problem. I have defense 26, though, against the shot from the elves. So if I go over here and do this, it's just not that good, right? I feel like I want to wait with this guy.  Well, they can't now. They can't get out. I don't want to give them a target though. Yeah, see they can't get out there. I don't want to give this guy a short range target, so I'm just going to wait. Same with you. Everyone's waiting. Okay, Phoenix down. How bad was that? They're doing 80 damage, and we'll use the skeleton stack to take their retaliation off these guys. Fine. Yeah, let's just kill the Goldies. Should I take their retaliation? Yeah, how about I do it? To perish. It's pretty good. That's a good attack to get action. That's the first leverage I've gotten out of any of my skeleton piles.  I'll just have a go at these. Expert Earthmage. I just implode this. Or this. Or I can implode this guy. See he only has eight moves. He actually can't walk out. The dwarfs have moved, so they're stuck. So he can walk around inside there, and then on the next turn, um, he'll act before the dwarfs. Hilariously. I think I'll just make sure of the death of the Gold Dragon. Yeah, see, he wastes his move. No, he doesn't. Oh, he walks onto there, really. Okay, so I have to implode that now. That does finish him off. Oh no, it doesn't. What? No, there's still one left. Okay, I can kill one with this attack. I'm going to do that. These guys actually get a free turn now to murder them. It's huge. They did six damage back. Massive. Now is it just implosion on these? Again, let's go arrow tower and see if we have the main one. Rather lower tower at this time. Not much luck. Sideways. Hality. Sheer brutality of implosion. Slow on my phoenixes is pointless. Okay, he does have really high morale. So I might save my magic ellies. Let's just see what this kind is. This is worthwhile to unlock the lightning elementals. That's excellent from the arrow tower. Fantastic. Yeah, it gets stuck in. This happens. Love the sound that that crafted that noise. Okay. Huh. Okay. Yeah, it makes sense. Good attack. It's quite painful. You're next to act. You could get morale, so let's start on that stack. Okay, I can get stuck in or I can do this. That's better for me. That's in my best interest. So I think let's try to finish the dendroids off. Okay, we are root bound, but I feel like earth elementals, magma elementals are quite good at unlocking, you know, getting the getting the thing started. This guy, we really want to make sure doesn't get an attack. Am I happy with this? He's sort of out of the loop of all of this because of his no retaliation anyway. No morale. Yeah, certainly haven't had it my own way here. Try again for this. I thought you said you were expert ballistics. You didn't know what expert means, right? Kill huge swears of these. I can't implode this, but I could clone. No, I can't clone. Yeah, big part of the battle was quite annoying. Let's see how many strike back. 127. I really want to do this attack though. Can someone else deal with the dwarfs? Copy that. 47 damage. Okay, now the morale strikes, but that's okay. 54 of them left. I've still got two skellies. I mean, maybe I should have imploded them and attacked the dwarfs. That's probably the right thing to do. They finally go down. Let's try that. There they are. Right on time, boys. 57 of them. Oh, let's wait. You have to wait as well. They can take a beating. You can say that for them. Okay. How far can you move? That's actually pretty solid. I have to say, magma elementals are growing on me here. Now, let's not be fooled by the fact that these are summoned. They're not real. That really belonged to me. Now I can shoot. No, I can't. Well, I don't really want to attack them. Yeah, let's not do anything. The loss is incoming. See, I thought this would be a tough fight. I'm quite glad. Come on, surely. What is that? Kill these. Kill as many of them as you can. Oh, the elves are shooting. Maybe I should have killed them with this magic. Yeah. Walked into that. 20 of them died. That's at least my second or third fire breathing error in the campaign. Armourer is good for what I want now. Yeah, let's be an armourer. Armourer is good, yeah. Disappointing. Very disappointing. Disappointing losses. Research, okay. And there's resurrection. We know that now, so that's actually pretty good. Isra, do you want to stay the night? You may as well now. Yeah. Learn a few things. Old Intious. Like the gar... Oh, it's a wyvern's nest. Oh, yikes. Okay. Right, I actually thought it was a... I thought it was a different dwelling. I thought it was a lizard mending. Right, a gar. Come on back with the angels. I'm still sorry about those elementals, man. It's like, who's this?  I've got a killer from there. Bothered. This is a new artwork for these dendroid arches. Look how cool that is. That's new, Inhorn of the Abyss, that graphic. I want to waste these moves. I guess... Yeah, yeah. I can't be bothered. I'm not getting a mercury. Oh, wait, hang on, wait. Okay, no. Sorry. Ten gems? Do it. Okay, there must be a square there where she landed. There's water on the other side here. That's interesting. All right, Clancy, with your amazing movement. Um, problem with that cave is I've got to cook back around again. That doesn't interest me much. I'm much more in it for the scouts at this point. Okay, I guess that's just a hard edge across here. And we have islands. Yeah, there's a sea down the middle here. That's actually quite cool. Well, on a different day, we spawned all the way over here, right? If you're looking at my mini map. On a different day, if we'd spawned here or here, water might have mattered quite a lot. I don't think there's inferno in this region. I think it's just a place where to come to do hard things, similar to the snow region. Yeah. Okay, that's quite interesting. All right, so come back along here. We really don't care about much at this point. There's nothing here. Okay, I'll come back around then. In fact, you might as well go here. Yes, find the guards. Yeah, it's fine. Get the cyclopses. Hopefully we're on the home stretch now. Let's have a quick look at the den of thieves. Green has found the most artifacts. That would be me. Orange and tan have maybe one town. Purple must have two. One of them's obviously a necro, clearly. Yep. She's still running around. Okay. I think just while there's not much happening, I will... Map's gone kind of quiet. I think I'll pop out with her and grab the giant and maybe this soul for mine as well. I'm not paying attention. I'm not paying enough attention. Sloppy. Here she is. Can I have your town? Probably yes. Ezra can't get back in time. Got one dimension door. I can give Ashlyn the army. The other thing I could try to do is catch her with someone else who's available. How far actually are you from Conflux? Couldn't just get there. Honestly, could I know? Can't hack through there. Now he's way too far out. She is a million miles away. She can't help. There's no one else for the job. Ezra's army is the closest thing I have. So I'm going to be relying on Ashlyn here. That's the magma elementals. Oh my god. Ashlyn, we'll do that. We'll do it that way.  Step off for a second. It's absurd. It's absurd! Okay, Ashlyn, you may as well do something useful with your life.  Cast it once. Here I am. Couldn't send a hero out to grab the army run back, but then she can come up and attack Ashlyn. You're okay with this, right? Let's just make this annoying enough for her. Anyone have an army? This girl. You can go behind the walls for me, Agar. Let's hire this girl quickly. Ash, the heretic. We will lose that skeleton and lose the white man. How long are they sniffing around for? Okay.  It's something that I overlooked. I refuse to take responsibility. More giants are there. Just tell me what's through here, man. That's another wyvern's nest. Wow. What are you doing again? Why are you here? What were you going to do? Pop up here. Probably Sam. I've got this guy. Okay, let's come this way. Even though the Cyclops will be slowing me down now, they're slow ones. Let's get that. Okay, Thane. I think I do like this. I do have plenty of moves. I kind of feel like using a dimension door today to just get over to here onto the road. Now we know there's a Necro up here. Somewhere in the dirt. Save me some moves. There she blows. I won't do another one. Okay. All right, Conflux is going to go down, and then I'm going to take it back. I'm going to lose soldiers in process, but whatever. Sloppiness just creeping in. Oaks, I'm sorry. I should be really still paying attention. And there's some stuff we never did. Let's see if we can get there. I suffer defeat. Let's see if I can do a bit better. Get the old epilepsy going again. Get out of the way. Do not let them in. Whatever you do. Just come to here. What can I do? Am I blind someone? Maybe I'll save that for Dispel, actually. See if he comes up with anything. Understandable. I don't blame you. Oh, it's so mean. Look at them spreading. Look at the carcass of the sprites. They're like, I mean, Pyre, that's just cruel. Have a heart. I mean, 70-70. The game's running out of time. I can do 50 points of damage. That kills a Minotaur King. And where did you hit that? Did you hit something better? Yeah. Pyre doesn't have a lot like magic arrow. It shouldn't have a lot going on. Where are you going? No, no, no, no, no. I never picked that up. So you guys, if you saw me do this, I'm the one who cleared that area. I'm really sorry about this. I cleared that. I knew I had the necklace of swiftness, but I got it confused with the other thing that looks like it. Oh, this thing. Charm of Mana. I thought they were the same thing. I cleared this area and then just never picked it up. I could have had plus one moves on at least one of my armies this whole time. That was like 10 hours ago of game time. Anyway, can Isra catch her? Yep. Of course I can. Of course I can catch her. I'm Isra. Catch her. Happy with this layout against, what was she packing again? Not enough. She flees? What can I do to prevent that? Hmm. I mean, I have slow. Let's just see what she does. Why don't I receive zero experience? That seems a bit unfair. Right, pick up the necklace. Visiting a local wise man who's baffled.  You explain the intent of your journey. He's like, yeah. Uh-huh. Maybe you want this? He reaches into his sack and withdraws a strange necklace which he hands to you. What were you thinking? Right, she's dead, but I haven't actually taken this back, but it doesn't matter. Uh, I'll be back to get it down a second. Right, nothing here. Okay, come to here and then we'll jump over. Shame to lose more of these. I don't see a way to avoid that. Well, let's just try. Three, three, and two. But they're dying now. They're slightly better than the 10 that it's in. No, it was 10. Okay, I can't count. All right, here we are. Another fully developed town. I always click the wrong one. Fully gold. Look at that. Magnificent necropolis. Brings back to one memories. Leave someone annoying here. Although death ripple. All right, just do that. Uh, who's left? I've got to get the conflux back. I'll check the den. 10 still has one more town than purple. So I don't know if that means they've got one. Is that just the conflux then and the other two both have zero? Because that would be good if that's where we were at. Because in terms of getting a good high score, you've got to try and tidy the game up quickly at the end. Can't just be mucking around. He's there. She's there. Tell me what is going on. And that. What's Sam up to? Are there more towns here? Maybe. Oh, yes. What's in this area? What's in all here? Do I want to waste Sam? I don't need to use someone. Oh, stop. Stop. What's up here? Ironically, scouting becomes really important again in the end game.  Just hop in there for me. Okay, there's obviously a road to there and maybe an underground. Do I hire another hero here? She has basic scouting. Welcome Lorelli. Better pick something meaningful. Maybe trade some of this down now. I probably have yet. I've got more towns. I actually realized someone in the chat told me once you get tons of towns, these are actually worse than just using your own marketplace. Town portal. Yeah, that could be useful. That's just a shipyard. I'm hoping it's just the conflux then and we're done. Isra comes back and takes the conflux and then by the end of the week, all the other colors are exhausted. I don't know. Who else is there? Purple. Purple is here. Ashlyn, dude. I want to try.   How sad are we? Quite sad, actually. Let's get the thing back. Do that. It's firebirds here. Sorry. Yes. Watery. Pire is behind the... This was their last town then. Why do I lose 40? No, no, no. Defend. I'm not attacking my own. Conflux. Thank you for reconstructing it for me, Pire. I did lose 40. Okay, I get all of those stuff, but it's not that much. So Pire is dead. Firebirds become phoenixes. What now? Tell me about the... Okay, everyone is tied. I think that means no one's got any town left. And if that's true, why would I waste Ashlyn up here when I could just come back down to... Whoever that purple guy is, they're probably a nobody who's just hiding. So there's another underground here which is there. Okay, so it just depends what's on the other side of there. Thane, can you get to... So it's now a good time to fly instead, right? Fly up to here. I keep forgetting he's the guy who doesn't know how. He's the right... He's the right hero for it, but he doesn't actually know how. One... How many spell points do I waste? I don't think it's a big risk. Trying to just make absolutely sure. What am I down to? 51 spell points? I guess I'll stop there. Okay, where is this last place? Could be there, but I'm guessing it's more likely to be along... This way? Is there another Necro? No, there's a gem though. Ah, hey gem, how you doing? You look beatable. And then what, say a town here? Sam, I don't think you're gonna find anything else under here, love, but give it a go. That's actually this one. That's just an absolute rabbit warren. Okay, you can't fly through the walls, so that's actually... It's sad, she's way out of position. It's gonna come on down. Let's be... Let's be awesome. Isra was doing this. Should she just take the put now? Town's got nothing in it, but I'm... I just don't think that's gonna be that bad now. In tears, we can just about dismiss him, can't we? What else could we hire? Could we do a new Lorely? All right, another one to come down here. At this point I can't see much downside, we're just trying to finish this game off. I feel like we've been hiring genies, that's been our business, so let's go with Aynan this time. She has movement seven. Let's just be really arrogant and ride out with nothing more than a pixie. Oh, Observatory Aynan. You're already paying huge dividends for us. Superb. Oh yeah, this is the dude I wanted to go out. I think there's another one of these over here. Right here. Maybe Clancy could have gone to. Maybe do one of them next time. It's kind of like a dragon utopia, I think. That's the idea of it. Okay, we must be nearing the end game. She runs towards town, I assume. Here's a hero. Purple is there. Where was that hero? Ooh, daremyth is here. Hello. It's day seven, daremyth. Can you dare get back to the Necro in time? If you can get back in time, my hat is off to you. Lorelli's not going to try and defend it. Oops, sorry, messed up there. Lorelli. Ah, that's that. Okay. Sam. May as well finish scouting now. Lying through the underground. Killing goblins. There's a dragon cave here. That might have been cool. No one ever bothered unlocking it. Indius. There's nothing here, man. There's no need for you anymore. Okay, you're here. The purple hero is there. Way too far from the action. I'm not actually going to stay there, just in case there's all these artifacts and stuff. Okay, he's here. Come down here, actually. They're so far from the actual town. Okay, it's the other side of the same story. Just scout. We're turning scouting back on. Isra was going to go check this area out. I don't think there's anything there, though. That's Sam. Just get ready. I don't think daremyth... I mean, if daremyth takes the town, she takes it. I'll just come back later. Oh, you were just running for dear life? You don't feel bad.  I'm actually going to say no. No, I don't have time. Wait here, wait here. Isra. I think that's a waste. I don't think that's a thing. If you turn portal to the net crow, we could use you to hop over here and help and maybe you can kill thinger. Oh, you could just turn portal to the net crow to defend it from daremyth. Let's just do that. Okay, that's using my brain. Dark Eternal. Dark Eternal is the name of my hometown on the last campaign. You know what, Lorely? Go, Lorely, where are you? Go under that underground. Intius, you're gone tomorrow. You're there, you're there. In the turn, gets in a boat, kills Lorely. Oh, okay, Thant is here. No, no, let's have a look at Thant. Thant. Thant, thant, thant, thant. How good is my lightning ball? Kills that star? All right, whatever. I'll just run. Where did that happen? Daremyth is there. I can kill her with Ashlyn now. Clancy's here. Where did Thant kill him? Here. Thant, the purple hero. Daremyth is a long way away. She's all the way up here. What, where are you? You're here. I could kill it.  I could do it. Jump back. The only problem with that is running out of mana. I need to get up here and do this. Isra, if you teleport to here, you could probably do it. Okay, let's try it with Isra. Stay one. So guess what I get to do after all this time? No, is this silly? I just buy normal ones, right? I've got to go in here and put the harpy in the transformer for all time's sake. That's so satisfying. No, I'm just buying ordinary ones. I don't really have a viable seventh stack. I'm just going to buy ordinary ones. No, I bought, and I can get two, and then to there. Lorela, you're kind of in the way.  I might just take this result. Okay, she didn't run either. Thane is hurtling forward. She's just jumped in a boat to try to not die. What's up here? Lots of phoenixes guarding the orb of vulnerability. Okay, that's just an underground. Then the game's over, is it? You know what I mean? There's a frontier here we haven't seen or explored yet. Come back upstairs. Could you go and do that for me now? No, because you've already done the thing I want today. Lorela was going to go check this out. I don't need to now. I know rightly what it is. It's down here. Okay, desperation mode. Come to here and we'll do one dimension door. Nah. Is there a... We're just desperately trying to find the last of them. A term of fire magic is here. I mean, Gem is here. I could just kill her now. How did I get? Where is that little pocket where those purple guys are hanging out? It's in here. At the bottom of the Necro? Who can get there? I cannot. I'm out of the game. Unless I get... You get me to this, maybe? Get me to this portal? It spits me out here? But what can I... What can I then do? From there? Can't really get anywhere useful? Confirm for me what's here in this area. Oh, he looks physically closest, right? So we're trying to see if there's a way through there. Probably isn't. Please? There is. There is. There is a way through. Okay, so we're zeroing in. Buy out this town. Buy out this town I already have. Okay, I'll stay too. Purple don't have another town though. Right? You can't. You can't. You all have the same number of towns and there aren't three. I think if I... I think the game just ends because I can't kill all the heroes. I have to wait until the end of this week and they all get told that they're heroes have abandoned them and stuff. Wait, wait, time of earth please. That's better than time of air. Okay, let's fight. Gem out of spell points, out of ideas. Yeah, let's just wait. You walked out there. That's kind of annoying. I thought you were very, very, very good spirits, aren't you? Good on you. I'll make sure this is all of both. Didn't cast a spell there. Kill the thunderbird. Kills them all. Okay, that's going to purr. We get purr stuff. Not that she has any town portal there. Okay, so the bad guys are down here. Loitering around. I've got a man on the case. Tan is here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Except this throwing themselves at me. Ballistics just goes ballistics. Right, that's the head of orange. Well, that was a tan here in the checkmate, wasn't it? Purple hero army? How massive is the underground in this map? Yeah, that was a purple hero. No, that's that's that there. He's going to do the same thing to tomorrow. He's going to throw himself on the walls. So is tan still in the game? Yeah. Oh, how do we close this out? I checked everywhere. There's no one there. Maybe someone through there. Come this way, I guess. I can go anywhere. A horde of Nyx warriors won't be any match for implosion. Do that first just to make sure of things. See how many of them die? These guys are great. Reduce your incoming attack strength by 60%. It's fabulous.  If you don't have good high damage spell power, like the thing is this combos, if you have interference with these guys, it's it's so good. Look at that. I only killed two to three. This was decadent of me. I don't actually have this. No. Just for fun. I think what we're saying is I should have read the story. Sorry. I think what we're saying is she comes back to the necro and what Thane is going to do is just pop up here. He is running out of dimension doors to cast. No one has been here though. I don't really want to fight any of these. I could do just for completeness but I don't think it's necessary. I think we're done here. Let's just take it. When does the clock start on? Oh, hey, I did. I found my way out. Look at that. When does the clock start on your heroes of abandon you and your banished from the land? When does the clock start on that? I wonder. It's madly dashing around the map top trying to tidy everything up here. Running through the corner there's a purple hero at the top. Bron is not dead but I have a man in the area, Thane.  Teaching my final lesson. I've got 21 spell points to work with. You know what I'm minded to actually just let him run out of... I know it's cheap but I can get to Dark Eternal today. This guy's doing this for me anyway. I just need that Sarfax hiding here. Let's kill him. Get all his stuff. Oops, too far. Okay. How did you end up there? You must have sailed all the way around from there. I mean you can get some Pandora's boxes and stuff but I think it's not a very easy fight with Thane. So I could just come to here, dimension door, mess that up I think. Just Bron now. That's all I care about I think. There's no one else. With Thane, that fellow who went and ran and hid in my main area. Where is he's up here somewhere? Where's that Thane guy here?  Yeah, no, gosh. He's thought you could. He's gonna take this. I think it's alright. Don't really like losing genies. Thane has been vanquished. Yay! Yeah, let's...  I've got the spell points. This is costing me victory points right? Like if he's the last hero on the map, then I should have done that fight even though it actually would be quite a painful fight against all the stuff he has there. Should have done it though. I mean for the excitement factor alone right? I think Bron's the last holdout I think. Stay there Sam. Ron is able to do some things, gets a Pandora's box, powers up but sadly does run out of road so that fight never happened in the end. But I don't feel that bad about it. I mean you know the campaign was marked with a number of pretty good fights. That would have been an interesting one but we are there. Congratulations. Congratulations to you if you are still with me. 11 hours in or maybe it's 15. I don't know what it'll be by the time I finish the edits but we did it. Oh there he is. He's breathing the flames. So we took 82 days that time. Let's have a look at the ranking and there we go. I just moved myself out of the way there. So we ended up as a Naga on 82 days. We were a Nyx warrior last time so we didn't quite break into the tier 7 but all goes forth I think this time. Ah decent. I think we probably should have taken that fight with Bron at the end to try to save a day because that did cost a day. We would have had total time 81 I think. That's how that would have worked. I'm interested to know actually how that would work. Would we still be 82 or 81 because they died on their turn? I don't know. What can we do to speed that up to try to get into the higher rankings? Play better and faster. I mean I had to backtrack and I had that horrific day with Solmere getting tagged. He survived. I got that bad beat by Thane. Thane got badly beaten by Corbac. I mean it's great because it slaps the Gauntlet down. It says even though you thought you played well you could have played better. There was always more you could have maybe done in the early game. Snowball a bit faster. Push a bit harder. Find additional angles. Maybe take that extra fight that you were a little bit too scared of and ran away from. So there's always something to learn and more to be doing. I loved that. I had a great time. We didn't get as far as dreadnoughts but we had a really good look at the factory. I love it. I love the factory. It's awesome. It didn't feel overpowered. It felt characterful. I enjoyed the mini games. The thing with the bank. I love the engineers. I love the automatons. Yeah didn't really get to play around too much with the bounty hunter but you know hopefully we'll give him a good go at some stage soon. Yeah fantastic. So look if you guys as always if you're still with me and you've watched through the entire series thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I hope you had fun and I hope you stick around for the next series of videos that I'm going to be doing. I'm going to be doing a mix of different playthrough and other kind of commentary. I'm going to be returning to the tier list videos at some stage this year as well. So keep an eye out for that. Go well and as always take it easy. I'll see you next time.


Hi, my name is Sandra Batakis and I'm going to be your instructor for this course. I have spent years working with Microsoft technologies going way back to DOS before we ever had the hopes of Windows and certainly before we ever had hopes of working through technologies like Office 365 and SharePoint sites. With this experience in seeing all of the technologies grow and not just grow but grow together, we're now at a point where all of the experience of working through Word and Excel in PowerPoint and online apps can be brought together. In my professional career, I don't just stand here and teach it, I can honestly tell you that I deploy all of these technologies to all my customers and I spend a lot of time not only creating content but migrating them over, importing all the data in and then giving it some sort of workable form to send them forward. So it is my pleasure to take not only my favorite programs and share them with you but to also share some great ideas that I found along the way. In this module, we'll get a chance to overview SharePoint. SharePoint is a fantastic technology that allows us to share a lot of information across an organization. We'll get a chance to see what initial sites you're given with to start customize when you first open up your Office 365 subscription. You'll get a chance to learn what a team site is all about. We've got an example of one, we'll pile through it to see what types of content you can add in there and then we'll really hyper focus down on some of the most commonly used elements like the calendar, the libraries, and the tasks. Once we're done with those with some common elements, we'll learn about how to add an app to the SharePoint site and then enable it for use. All SharePoint sites also have something called site settings. Site settings is simply the look, the feel, the permission, and what types of elements you want to have available and we'll get a great tour of that as well. SharePoint has unlimited uses. So, you get a look at your organization and how it's built. You might have an organization of three people. You might have 3,000 people. So, if you have a small company with three people, this might be where you keep all of your documents and you're going to organize them maybe by customer and then by office documents, maybe by category, but you can put all of your information up there into the cloud so that you can access it from virtually anywhere. So, we have that perspective. Let's say you work with a company for 3,000 people. Well, now there's a lot of information that people need to find. So, you might find that we have the reseller portal, a legal porter, you've got a Yammer license so that you all have social networking sites and communicate, idea exchanges, collateral centers. You might find that accounting has its own SharePoint site. Maybe the help desk has its own SharePoint site because you can broadcast any amount of information and customize it based on who's going to come take a look. We can have elements in it like a document library. Think of a document library as literally a folder full of documents, but what's different is a folder of documents is exactly that. It's just a list. When you use a document library, you have a full search and I'm talking even the contents of the files and you can search by a variety of attributes. Maybe you're looking for an Excel file that contains a certain word, but you can take it further by adding different columns of information and search based on that. You've got shared calendars, contacts, project workspaces. The whole point of SharePoint is to share information and also be able to collaborate on it. When you first start with the sites, there are some initial sites. Now, I put some paths here, but honestly, these paths aren't even very important. I just want to point it out because if you happen to look in the navigation bar on the address, you're going to see them appear. It is going to be very uncommon that you type this in. When you have your SharePoint domain, it is going to populate your domain name right here and where it appears in each one of these examples. If my domain name is Sandra Classroom, my site collections, if I want to go to the default team site for my organization, it would simply be sanderclassroom.sharepoint.com. I can access this SharePoint site collection from anywhere in the world as long as I have an internet connection and of course a valid login. That's what we mean by domain name. Now, they throw a public site in there, which in this case would be sanderclassroom.public.sharepoint.com Not everyone uses the public site. Most people already have a standing website that they're using that's publicly available, but if you don't have one, you can actually do your website in SharePoint and then broadcast it for public. You can also assign your full domain name, so there's a redirect when you do www.yourdomain.com. You're going to find that in some of the search screens, or if you want to go directly to search, I can do sanderclassroom.sharepoint.com slash search and go right into a full search of everything available on that site, and you'll find that on that initial landing page where you land, whether it's about me or just you looking at your site collections, you'll see it actually changes a little bit to, in this case, sanderclassroom.sharepoint.com. So again, normally you're not going to type these in, but you will see those URLs change up in the top. Here's a good example of a team site, and if you've never developed a web page, it might actually be overwhelming thinking, I could never program something like that, but that is not the case. All of these elements are easily added onto the site by literally using an insert menu, so I might click here and say insert blog post because it's something that was already created and I can reuse it. We can do a featured employee that might be insert something else, and again it depends on the back end of what's going on. So they're all easy design elements. This right here is a calendar, so I might say insert calendar and you're going to insert the one called upcoming events. And what's great is this could be the same calendar that shows everything this company has scheduled for the next three years, and I'm going to say show this calendar in the view called upcoming events, and there's probably a filter that says today plus 14. So only show me what's going to happen from today to two weeks from now. So even though you have one calendar in there for all company events, you can reuse it or portions of it all through the rest of the site. Popular documents, there's a document library. So you'll learn about these as we learn about SharePoint, but I like to point to the example because if you just hear me say document library, document library, document library, it doesn't look half as exciting, I promise you, as seeing this in place and realizing what element you're actually looking at. A SharePoint calendar is also known as a list, and you're going to see me write the word list down perhaps more than you care to see it. A calendar is simply a list of events. Now if we choose a display format that looks like this, then yes, it looks very much like a calendar that we would all recognize. But if I was to change the format of how that calendar shows, it could actually be a list that looks something like August, and then I'm abbreviating August 1st, August 2nd, so it can be a list of days. Or that list could be appointments that you have in August. So maybe 17th for your birthday, maybe the 18th you have an offsite meeting, maybe the 21st you're going on vacation. Now this looks more like a personal calendar, but it is an example of a calendar because it's a list of events that you might have. So now let's take that list and create actual work-based events. So let's say on the 17th we have a staff meeting. And typically on an event, let's think about it, what types of information do you have? Most people have the date, the event name, the start, and the finish times. But what's great about SharePoint, if you think about this as a list, a list is rows of information organized by columns. So you can add columns to this. So I might add a column to my calendar called type, meaning appointment type. And that appointment type could be personal, it could be staff meeting, it could be a weekly update meeting, it could be a customer meeting. So you're actually taking a table of information or a list, and you're doing something with it, you're adding that more information. So now when I add an appointment for the 18th, I'm going to visit a campus. When I'm adding that in, I have to now fill in the field that says appointment type. And the appointment type is customer meeting. So why is that important? Because what you'll see is then you write a custom view. Now when I write a custom view, there's going to be a couple filters, and that's what it's called. It says filter, show me the next 14 days in the calendar, meaning today plus 14, and show me only type equals customer. Now I have a view. So you might hit that SharePoint calendar, and you're going to have this little widget that says upcoming customer meetings, and it's only going to show you the next two weeks of customer meetings. Now of course I can add more columns like customer name and who's going to attend. For the point of this written example, well I guess I'm out of room anyways. But as you look at each one of these elements, I want you to think about how you would organize it. Because we don't recreate the wheel, we simply filter and we use something called a custom view. Custom columns are going to help us get there, and of course we can write permissions on any list we've got. We also have SharePoint document libraries, and guess what? Document libraries are just a list. See, I said I'm going to say it more than once. It's a list of documents. You can filter that list in place. So now let's say I have my document library, and I want something called recently added. So typically this is just going to have, I don't know, it could have three documents or 3,000 documents, but now I am going to sort it, and I'm going to sort it so that the newest is first, and maybe I limit it to the last 10. It's one of the many ways we can get that accomplished. So it's still just a document library, but I'm filtering it, and I'm going to sort it. You know, and maybe the filter has some other thing in there that defines them as recently added, meaning show me only the documents added in the last seven days. That's an example of a filter. So guess what? We can list all documents, we can filter the list in place, we can sort it, we create custom views to show us the last 10 added documents, and we can upload documents until our hearts are content. Now we get to talk about SharePoint tasks. You know what tasks are? Tasks are just a list. Now I keep repeating lists because most people don't think of things like this as lists, but if you have the mindset of list, sort, and filter, you can do anything you want in SharePoint anywhere. So you can create tasks in subtasks. You can mark them as complete. You can assign them to others, that's the most amount of fun. Give that one to George. But you can also create custom views with tasks. So maybe you want to create a custom view that says only when the status is complete, or when the status is in progress, or if it's not started. Whenever you create those views, this is where they appear. So these are my three views. And if there's more than three, this is basically your more button. But I might also create a filter that says, give me only George's tasks. It's another filter. So we can filter for just what he's up to. Tasks like Calendar and everything else do sync with Outlook. I don't say it every time, but everything you do here syncs with Outlook. So when you now go to Tasks in Outlook, you're going to see yours as built through you and email in Office 365. And then you'll see Tasks in TeamSite. If you have a really good task list, guess what? You can export it, open it, you can throw it in Excel, Project, or Access if you want to do something with it in another program. You can add apps to your SharePoint site. This is something that takes a couple of rounds before it feels natural. In fact, sometimes I still forget and you go looking for something and realize it's not there and you get a kind of skirt around. So when you have a SharePoint site, you have apps available for new sites. So I know that I'm going to click on SharePoint site, new TeamSite, and I'm going to have documents in there to pick from. I'm going to have maybe a calendar to pick from. But I may not necessarily have that custom list with the staff directory in it, or I might not have a graphic library for the images in the company's logo. So you actually have to go up into your site configurations, your site contents, and basically add all of the apps that you think you're going to need as you edit each page. So when you add an app here, it doesn't put it on the web page, it puts it in a list of things that you could add in the web page. So if you're looking to insert something and it's not there, you have to go to site contents, add the app, and again now it's available. What's great about that is this event calendar that's been added, notice there's 48 items. So these aren't just to install, they're something with data behind them. I can now use that throughout the entire SharePoint site. One might be customer events, another one might be trade shows, because you're using filters and views. So you're reusing the same information throughout the whole site, you're just filtering for what you want on that particular page. You can edit once you have all of your apps and you've got them on the page, you can edit anything you want about them, you will hear me say there's multiple ways to get in. But under site content, you're going to get a list of all the content that's been created that you can use on each page and you have a direct link in order to customize it or to create new content. Like let's say now I want a staff directory, with certain information about each staff member, I would click on create content, I would create it. Once it's created, I can then add it to the site itself. And just to drive things home, guess what images, 14 items, that means it's a list of images. Site assets, two items, it's a list of site atoms. So if you just always think about lists, you'll always think of sorting and filtering and the rest of SharePoint will be very easy. When you go into SharePoint site settings, we have a plethora of things to get into. A lot of this is truly advanced SharePoint site design. There's a difference between SharePoint at an end user level. I'm creating a team site for a particular project or team versus someone who really is going to create a giant interactive SharePoint site for a large company. And I say that to put in perspective that a lot of this is outside the scope of the class, but the stuff that is important to almost every person that uses it is some of the stuff that I'm going to pull out.  If it's public information, then you never actually have to go in there. If you create it, you own it, you could do anything you want to it, everyone else can just look at it. There's some designer galleries. This right here, again, is more advanced because you're getting into master pages and page layout and templates and designing them. And there's also a SharePoint site designer program that you can use. Under site administration, you might want to pay attention to regional settings and language settings depending on your organization. You could be a small company just uploading some content or you could be a large global company where this is going to be very important. If you've got people who have created sites, the employees will be like, whoa, this is fun. And they create a brand new site. And then they lost it. They don't know the path to it. They don't know where it went. They don't know the URL to it. You can go into sites and workspaces and find it. And if that's something that needed to be deleted, that's actually where you're going to go to delete the entire SharePoint site. Under look and feel, you can go through title description and logo. So you can start really navigating what's going to be on the title bar, what logo is going to appear on each page. You can also change tree view or non-tree view. You might want to change the look. That's great. It's all sorts of themes in there. Pick something that you like, even if you don't like the colors, because then you can also change the color scheme that goes with it. And if you're feeling a little advanced for the day, you can take a look at navigation and possibly start working through what's going to be in the top level menus. So there's a lot here in the site settings. I do point out the most important, and some of them really do require a few days of sitting in a classroom or a little bit of reading in time.


Let me say that I am pleased and proud to be back in Rota. Today, again to celebrate for the third time the arrival of the US destroyer to its new permanent home in Spain. It is such an impressive and concrete expression of the continuity and the strength of our country's story partnership. While our cooperation goes far beyond just the sharp edge of combined military might, it is important on days like today to recognize that our shared commitment to common defense provides the bedrock of our adoring friendship.
