00:00Wednesday, August 3rd, Crow's Bridge.
00:08Yesterday our legion entered the village of Crow's Bridge and halted there for the night.
00:13We are just four days' march from the besieged city of Madrigal now, and with a little luck
00:18should arrive there in time to prevent its capture by the enemy.
00:21Shiver, one of the fallen lords, has been attacking the city for two days, but so far
00:26has been held back by its defenders.
00:29We all know the battle for Madrigal will decide the fate of all the northern lands, and that
00:34if it falls we will soon have nowhere to retreat but the ocean.
00:38Fearing for their safety, the villagers here pleaded with us to remain when we broke camp
00:42this morning.
00:43None of them understand yet what is happening, but they have all seen the refugees from the
00:48south and they are frightened.
00:53Our officers seemed unsympathetic until the people returned with nine young pigs and ten
00:57dozen loaves of bread.
01:00Fifteen of us are to stay now, perhaps to fight boredom instead of the fallen lords,
01:05and watch the bridge here for two days.
01:15Hey, did you hear what happened to Amon's bro?
01:18Yeah, there were no bodies.
01:20What did they do with all the bodies?
01:27The bridge is being attacked, let's get out of here!
01:36Hello and welcome to Crow's Bridge, the first ever level in Myth the Fallen Lords, one of
01:42my favourite games of all time.
01:44We're being attacked so I've just moved a lot of my units south for some protection.
01:49We're going to fall back just a little south of here and we can see we've got some more
01:56units waiting in defence of the town further to the south and they're going to stay there
02:02and prevent them from getting through.
02:08Good luck at the bridge!
02:09Down here we've got a really nice little village with some chimneys and smoke coming out of
02:13the chimney and we have our main force.
02:15We've got four warriors, we've got a dwarf who has got a backpack full of explosives
02:21and the dwarves, they have like satchel charges on them that they can plant and they also
02:29have dwarven cocktails which I believe are sort of bottles that they fire with explosives
02:38in them or fire that explodes when the bottle lands on the ground.
02:42And we've also got our four bowmen or archers you could call them and they're obviously
02:49handy for taking out enemy at a long range.
02:52And obviously the aim and the objective of the mission is to guard the bridge and town
02:57from enemy forces coming across the river.
03:00And as a reminder to say don't forget we have reinforcements in the town.
03:05It looks like there's some gold on the horizon there.
03:09They're kind of like scouts, they're kind of scavengers and they're kind of like a beast
03:15that has, well it drags its knuckles while it's eloping around the ground.
03:20They're quite fast so they're quite good for being scouts and although they're fairly weak
03:27they can run up hills quite easily and they're a big threat for archers.
03:32They can really sneak up behind them and take them by surprise.
03:35So we always want to have, as you can see here I've got a group of warriors protecting the archers.
03:41The same goes for the dwarf, the dwarf is very vulnerable to attack by enemy units who are moving quite fast.
03:49So you always want to have warriors to kind of back them up.
03:52We've got another couple of ghouls coming in across the river on the other side here
03:58who I think are trying to sneak up behind us.
04:00So we're going to try and take them out.
04:03I've split my force in parts at the moment.
04:08We've got the main body of my army, I'm going to attack the bridge and try and destroy the enemy there.
04:14Meanwhile I'm going to send out a couple of warriors to take out the ghouls
04:17which I feel are going to be strong enough to take them out.
04:20So I'll show you that.
04:22So notice the cocktail didn't go off there, so sometimes that happens, it doesn't go off.
04:27It's one of the things I love about this game is that it doesn't work every time.
04:30A bit like real life, things just don't always go to plan.
04:33So it's good to see that.
04:38At the moment I'm letting my dwarf do all the work here and avoiding hand-to-hand combat
04:44because we want to defend our units as long as possible.
04:47If you click on the dwarf, for example, you'll notice he's got a little shield.
04:51That represents how many enemy he has destroyed.
04:58And what happens is if that dwarf or any character on my team survives until the next level, mission,
05:05they usually will continue their journey from the first mission.
05:09So we might see Alfrig in the next mission if he survives the battle.
05:15For example, the archers, a couple of them have got a kill each.
05:18Their accuracy with their firing of arrows will be increased.
05:22We've got some soulless coming across the bridge here.
05:26Soulless have poisoned arrows that they fire, so they're kind of like the enemy archer if you want.
05:33It's best to avoid getting hit by one of those and take them out from afar.
05:38So we've done a pretty decent job here.
05:40We're playing this on Normal difficulty.
05:42Some of the first missions in Myth are really quite easy,
05:45but if it's the first time you've played it, it's a good introduction to the battles you're going to face.
05:50But believe me, they get a lot harder.
05:53Some really difficult levels ahead that require some careful thought and consideration.
06:00So anyway, that was Crow's Bridge.
06:02I hope that gave you a wee taster of what's to come.
06:06As I say, this was a very short level.
06:08It's a really fun one to play on Legendary mode, the most difficult level to beat.
06:14And on this particular level, it's actually quite hard to beat it on this one,
06:18but try doing that on some of the later levels, you'll be really struggling.
06:21And I think if you can do all the levels in Legendary mode, then you are a god.
06:30LEGENDARY MODE
