Round Table of Arkain

[Shar Dundred]

Hahahaha, okay my bad. I honestly forgot the name of that continent when answering that question.
My apologies, the 200 questions got my brain. I was reading Gruumsh and thought it was something from DND.
I am able to accept that I made a mistake there & apologize for making you feel uneasy about it.

I have edited my answer and will repeat it here:
195) Will we ever get a map where we play as a orc clan on Grumush before they left or even have a return to Grumush?
MAYBE in the distant future. It's, uhm, not in the best state.

Thank you, also about the mok'nathal question i asked i didn't want you to add mok'nathal but wondered if a race like that could be made since many fantasy worlds have half orc and ogre creatures (ogrillions from dnd and ogre-kin from pathfinder) so I wondered if that was true in arkain since most of the time orc and ogre mixed races are pretty weird and interesting @Shar Dundred

 

[Championfighter25]

The Dead Mountain will turn into the Alive Flatland before that happens.

 

[Shar Dundred]

What @Championfighter25 said.
I am not interested in the race at all, to be honest.

 

[deepstrasz]

Also, Saruman's dead. Who's gonna make those experiments?

somebody points at Rahandir.

 

[Boriss]

Nothing Aridon cant resurrect
Although any race he cant manipulate hed probably try to wipe out or enslave (poor nerubians didnt deserve this fate).
Will there be any info on how and why the nerubians ended up as corpse slaves?

They chose a bad place to live.

Undead Deepstrasz to command them when?

Edit:
The different forces are getting ready for the Clash in the Forest.

First, you have to catch that snake.

 

[Kasrkin]

Well, that was a lot of bugs. Our old friend Clash in the Forest is coming together nicely.... finally.

 

[Boriss]

We got a nerubian infestation in quest 5, someone call Aridon!

 

[gaurdian of the flame]

i can t wait to play clash in the forest

 

[Kasrkin]

The plans/suggestions I made for the new fresh breeze map are evil, I hope you're proud of me Shar. I'm looking for that pre-nerf Kome/Toran kind of feel.

 

[Mvicio]

The Ejara nexus was my favourite nexus since the First images of the fortress, then the short stories and now this. They have some sort of fly-nerubians insect and the icewind orcs enslaved, i suppose the sludges are their newest addition.

The Zirr nexus is quite interesting too.

And the Rohir nexus have even dwarves and undead grypphon riders in their ranks.

Also, the nexus seems to have better or worse relations between then, however they serve the same purpose and they won´t let their minor relations affect their effectiveness.

 

[Enki555]

Just glimpsed true story album and finally tasted spoilers for all undead. (Everybody loves undead. No pun intended). Ejara finally shows playability. Wanna play as Zirr to overwhelm enemies with pure magic. (Unless magic immunity happens to be pain in the ass). Rohir finally shows brute force... time to test strength. In the meantime, others will be revealed (generosity for being not a spoiler xD).
@Shar Dundred keep it up!

 

[Tuwnew]

Would be nice to know their leader aswell, like Empire Regiment !

 

[Enki555]

New discoveries:
Splecir nexus- oh cold specter army never bothered me anyway. Those val'kyr units are the newest addition. Wanna mass them and sow death on the battlefield.
Ardoz nexus- undead chimaera and faceless one-like construct? Quite... creative. Even their torture methods are creative.
Scarec nexus- oh plaguebringer looking down there. Don't worry. Once it's released, gonna command more of your kind. Show your worth.
@Shar Dundred another perfect sneak peek. Three more remains.

 

[Mvicio]

Splicer nexus- The Ghost Army
Ardoz Nexus- I love those skins, that faceless one construct and that machine? dont know, they are gorgeus.
Scarec nexus- Our old skeleton boys

So i suppose that Saint Loraine and the angelics that the nexus kill are now part of the Ethereal because is said: It is said that the master of the living dead is interested in bolstering the ranks of the
Splecir Nexus with new devoted members.

What? there is 3 more nexus? I thought just Lenira and Kezzar were left, i´m looking for a navy nexus that hates everything that isn´t on a boat.

No. Three including Kezzar, Lenira, and new one (don't wanna spoil).

 

[swarmlord1231]

@Shar Dundred im about to read the undead so you can expect my huge essay on the undead like I did for the orcs like tommorow.

 

[Championfighter25]

Gary is the kind of person who would want each Demonic Legion to get extra variety in their tech-tree later on just to make the player's experience much more difficult. Absolutely preposterous.
On topic, the full Kezzar Nexus looks like a fun faction to play as.
The Daviliad Nexus is just like the elves In the FHB and SHB. You neither want to play as them or have them as your allies, but they will be given to you regardless.

We all love Gary.

You are right, i think is the only nexus i dont want to play with. Maybe they are even worse than the Dark elves and that was something quite difficult.

 

[Shar Dundred]

We all love Gary.

Think I will keep him in the box for a bit.
Don't want to overuse him.

First step towards playable Demons for you all.

I mean it is Keera's Nexus, so....

Kezzar is badass indeed.
If there are undead Walkyries in Keera's nexus, then it might shift the situation

 

[Hardric62]

Think of it that way. Even Undead need disposable cannon fodder meant to die/be destroyed doing the thankless tasks, and so more valuable units, like... Skeleton Shieldguards, for instance, can be preserved for more important missions.

And this this most not noble task is the eternal and most unglorious purpose of the Daviliad Nexus. Be thankless for their sacrifice, it is the only thing of note about them.

 

[Mvicio]

Easy solution, send their rotten corpses to the Ardoz Nexus, tear the flesh apart, transform them into Skeleton and then send to the Kezzar nexus to being instructed into proper undead soldiers.

Also the living Dark elves can be used as disposable cannon fodder, they´ll fight twice after being reanimated.

I mean it is Keera's Nexus, so....

Best mom have worst army? Nonsense, Best Dad of the century had the best army of the century.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Fair point. I am not going to give her nexus gatling guns now still.
I still have some tricks up my sleeve for the Daviliad Nexus though.

 

[Hinata28]

Jay will lose his breath for Scarec are all skeletons.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Rahandir is preparing himself for the True Story - and he has decided to don new clothes.

Yes, I noticed the levitating rocks in the background.

 

[Hardric62]

Noice, the Lichs of WC 3 always looked a bit underclothed to me honestly.

Still less awesome than Baldgoth though...

 

[Boriss]

Dunno why but I always imagined Rahandir to fight like a war mage with scythe-staff.

 

[Mvicio]

Those new clothes increase the amount of ice meteors he sends?

 

[Shar Dundred]

The messages he sends will certainly be more... impactful when delivered while wearing these stylish clothes.
And Rahandir is going to send some regards sooner or later.

Speaking of regards:
The Golden Guard sends its regards from the future, bringing new fashion in addition to their
already established look for future heroes that will be added when the time is right.
Special thanks to @Galadgod for providing the original models. I did some slight edits to remove
unrequired animations & reduce file size to a quarter - without harming the overall quality!
Can't have the Golden Guard not showing their best, they gotta shine.

 

[Boriss]

I know that mission... never figured out what triggered the reinforcements there.

They just popped out of nowhere, just to be honest.

 

[Alarich]

I've read the lore given in Clash in the forest mission carefully and can say that there is more questions then answers. The most intresting in my opinion are Orders of magic. We know about Order of the Flame and almost defunct Order of the Lightnings, but as soon as every kingdom has (or had) its own Order there must be at least five more. What are these Orders? Do Imperials have their own magic schools? Whether Harmoses's Order of the Flame ( or any other Order) will be playable faction (like regiments)? Yave to add, that it was really intresting to play against these unique fractions in the Second Orc Book.

 

[gaurdian of the flame]

there a place behind the trees near your base that place there is some guard towers and four barracks and they are using a gate that leads to the royal defenders base and go to attack you

 

[Boriss]

I meant the friendly reinforcements, I know about that base hidden in the forest

 

[gaurdian of the flame]

oh ok mostly they appear from nothing after attacking the brown base

There are 3 in the story: The Order of Fire in Rengar, the destroyed Order of Lightning in Isalmur, one of the members is Taray, and the destroyed Fallen Mage Guild in Toran, which was betrayed to the Undead.

There is one instance you can play as Order of the Flame, that is remnants of them and liberate the HQ from the Demons.

Imperials sure has magic schools, that is why they have different mages. But Necromancy, Shadow Skills and Demonology are taboo on the Empire.

 

[Mvicio]

You were playing as Royal Army. Because you had Vail as Commander.

Pirru probably had a Water or sea order. They were the ones fighting the Orcs in the sea, so having that type of mages would be a advantage.

Toran probably had Arcane or Elemental order, judging from what we encountered in SHB mission. Lor might had Necromancy order fitting the theme of plagued forest or Sea, since its forest is named as "Pearl of Lor". Rengar have Flame. Not sure about Kerrel, but according to short story, it might be Light or some variant of it (Inquisitors). Isalmur had Lightning. Pyrru is questionable, but Water one seems likely. Salria has knights, but if there is magical order, Earth or Air theme looks more suitable.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Sneak peak incoming.

Hidden

 

[Tuwnew]

 

[Championfighter25]

To bribe the Goldaxe Clan again or not to bribe?

 

[Boriss]

Ooooooh the bestest chapter of the FHB is comiiiing

 

[Shar Dundred]

To bribe the Goldaxe Clan again or not to bribe?

Thought you didn't bribe them.

 

[Championfighter25]

Thought you didn't bribe them.

Decided to reverse that decision.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Then I am sure your gold is in good hands. Or pockets. Wherever Hortnog put it.

 

[Hinata28]

To bribe the Goldaxe Clan again or not to bribe?

For me, bribe them. It would not hurt to pay a fee for assistance sometimes.
