00:39Prostling Carnation in the previous games
00:41Through crossbreeding with these sort of weird blue people
00:45To make
00:46Frostling 2.0
00:48The Royal Guard here
00:50Now the Frostlings are not happy in this particular environment
00:53Because it's sort of a tropical wasteland
00:55This area belongs to Reskar
00:58And we've come here to take it back from him
01:01Now
01:03Peace be unto you, I'm sure we can reach a beneficial agreement
01:06I don't think so Reskar
01:09Reclare War
01:10Now, Reskar is holding this ruined city here
01:13And it sounds like a pretty good place for us to begin our reconquering of the Frostling lands
01:18But, first things first
01:20This is all tropical to me
01:22And as you can see from this rather unhappy face
01:24The Frostlings are not happy here
01:26So we're going to use the unique ability of the Frost Queen
01:29Which is the tier 3 Frostling unit
01:33Last Rite of Winter
01:34What this means is, next turn
01:37This sphere will explode
01:40And everywhere nearby will be coated in ice
01:42And will become arctic terrain
01:43Which gives an advantage to us
01:47But before we do that
01:48Anything else we need to do?
01:49We need to select a skill to research
01:51Now, obviously lots of things hanging around here that we could use
01:55I think we're going to choose
01:58Corpus Furia
01:59It's a combat expel
02:00Which makes corpses on the battlefield explode
02:03Damaging everything nearby
02:04Sounds fun
02:05Also got another army up here
02:08Undead units
02:09You can sort of send them east
02:10See if there's any more of Reskar's units around
02:14Here we can attack
02:15Also got a frigate
02:17Or no, a galleon in fact
02:18You can send to accompany them
02:21And we've met a dwelling
02:22The dwelling of Lashanti
02:26Wickdow
02:26This is the new dwelling in the expansion
02:28The Reef Colony
02:29This is a water-themed dwelling
02:31Which also produces
02:32Some
02:34Except a piece
02:36Produces
02:37Some
02:37Aquatic
02:38And amphibious units
02:39These guys
02:40Wolves of the Deep
02:41And
02:42These
02:43Lost Mariners
02:43But I think we're going to be running into them later
02:45So
02:45Get back to that
02:46And I think
02:47That's about it for now
02:49So we'll end the turn
02:50And start the war
02:52Oof
02:53Now everything's covered in snow
02:54So now
02:55Our morale
02:56Penalties are gone
02:57And here
02:59Draconians do not like to curl
03:01So
03:01Time for us to invade
03:03Anyhow combat
03:06Okay
03:07So here we are
03:08In this sort of newly frozen wasteland
03:10Coming to kick out the vile
03:12Dragon-skinned invaders
03:15Okay
03:16Here they come
03:17We have a shaman here
03:19Draconian shaman
03:20Now normally it's bad news
03:22People using fire attacks on us
03:24Being frostlings
03:24But
03:24High resistance units
03:27Who are guarding
03:27So fortunately
03:28It's not doing too much damage
03:30Where should we start?
03:32First things first
03:33The frostling royal guard
03:35This guy is the frostlings pikeman
03:38And he has a special ability pledge of protection
03:41This is similar to the theocrat ability absorb pain
03:43So if I use it on Arvik
03:47Any damage that Arvik takes
03:48This guy will take instead
03:50He also gets a plus two defence bonus
03:52Which is nice
03:53Also have here the frostling white witch
03:56She is the support unit for the frostlings
03:59And she has to have some fire abilities
04:00Grant flows and flames here
04:02Will give 80% fire protection to Arvik
04:05Definitely very handy
04:06Since we're very able to fight here
04:07Will also give him the ability to inflict chilling
04:10Which is a new stacking debuff
04:12If we go over here
04:13You can see we have a 36% chance of him
04:18Attaching chills to the target
04:20Go there
04:20Hit them with your size
04:22Go on beat him up
04:23Yes and he's chilled
04:25Got him
04:26Chilled means
04:2820% frost weakness
04:30On top of the 20% he already has
04:31And minus one defence
04:32And this will keep stacking
04:33If we keep hitting this guy
04:35With units with inflict chill
04:36Like the frost queen
04:37Or the frost white witch
04:39Then he will get more and more vulnerable to cold
04:42As we go along
04:43This lets us use this guy
04:45The ice scaper
04:46This is the irregular for the frostlings
04:47Now his attack here is actually very low damage
04:50Most irregulars do 12, 13, 14 damage
04:52With their ranged attacks
04:54However this one has the added bonus
04:56That it can freeze the target in place
04:58And since this guy has a 40% ice weakness
05:03Might be a good idea to try and freeze him
05:0842% chance of freezing
05:1148%
05:12I think this guy has a much lower resistance
05:14This is a tier 3 unit
05:15It's only tier 1
05:16So I'll freeze this guy
05:17Ah, got him
05:18You can see
05:19These guys are now bright blue
05:21And they are not going anywhere
05:24And finally
05:25We have the frostling ice queen
05:26A very powerful support unit
05:28It's got a little bear pulled chariot
05:32And as well as the last white winter
05:33Which you've already seen
05:34She's got ice gnome
05:35This is a massive area of effect
05:37And it will knock enemies out of guard
05:38But most enemies are guarding
05:40So we won't bother with that
05:41And it doesn't look like we can get into melee range
05:43So we'll just sort of move into battle
05:47Guard
05:48And that's the end of our turn
05:49Let's see what we do
05:55Regretting it
05:57Yep
06:00They're just coming in to strike us
06:02And not doing much at all
06:03The reason you didn't see any damage numbers coming off me
06:05Was because all the damage was being done to this guy
06:07Our poor royal guard is in a bit of a state
06:10I have a feeling that although Arvik is protected against fire
06:14Poor old frosty over here is not
06:17In fact he has 60% fire weakness
06:19And hence him losing an obscene amount of health from those attacks
06:24But no matter
06:25I'm sure these guys won't be with us for much longer
06:27So first things first
06:28Drive up here with our ice queen
06:30Now see this?
06:31Exposed
06:32Anyone stood next to an ice queen
06:34Suffers an extra 40% fire weakness
06:38Frost weakness even
06:40And minus one resistance
06:41So that means
06:43It's actually quite a good plan with the frost queen
06:45Simply to park next to people and do nothing
06:47However in this case
06:49I know you all want to see ice nova
06:51So let's set that off
06:53Only does damage to the people right next to her
06:55But yeah
06:56Quite a lot of damage
06:57And that's the end of them
06:59The ice scapers have these ice picks
07:02And that gives them this ability Shatter Strike
07:04Which means they do extra damage against stone and frozen units
07:07So hopefully we should be able to beat these guys up quite fast
07:13That's the end of them
07:14And Arvik can take the
07:15Oh no he can't
07:16Okay
07:17It's like he took too much damage
07:18He can't do anything
07:19Okay
07:20Looks like we're going to be finishing off with the ice queen
07:25We would if I could click in the right place
07:27Let's go
07:28Oops
07:32You wouldn't believe I actually made this game would you
07:34Okay
07:35Looks like they're going to get one more chance
07:36Oh
07:37And he dies
07:37Probably from the frost or from the ice queen
07:40So
07:41The city is ours
07:42Now
07:44Fortunately you might have seen that cunningly placed casting point pick up
07:47That means
07:48Happily
07:49We have enough casting points to cast animate ruins
07:52Animate ruins is a necromancer spell
07:54That we can use to bring a raised city back from the dead
07:59And there it goes
08:01Obviously it was quite a big city
08:03Now
08:05Necromancer cities being dead
08:07Filled with dead people
08:08Has some quite interesting mechanics
08:10Instead of growing with normal population
08:12Which is three little men
08:14You see these three little skulls
08:16To represent that they actually
08:17Get population from different sources
08:21You can see here this corrupted farm
08:23Which is a farm which has been affected by magic
08:24Gives a hundred dead population
08:26Instead of a hundred living population
08:28Over here
08:29We have
08:30A spring of life
08:32The population we get from this is worthless
08:34If we were to cast
08:36Where was it?
08:38Corrupt a source on it however
08:41Then it would become a corrupted spring
08:43And it would give our city
08:45Lots more lovely dead population
08:47The final thing we probably want to do
08:50Is this
08:50The Harvester's Guild
08:51It's a very cheap building
08:52But it's vital
08:53For necromancer cities
08:55It gives them the 200 population growth
08:57That they need
08:58To grow at all
08:59Otherwise the city probably isn't going to get anywhere
09:02Anything else we want to do?
09:04Oh yes
09:04Let's kick these guys off our spring of life
09:06So our city can start growing
09:08So bring our undead army over here
09:10Probably be able to get their next turn
09:14The Frigate
09:15Or Galleon
09:16Sorry
09:16Naval fans out there
09:18It is a Galleon
09:19Erm
09:20It can sail over here
09:21Notice over here we've got
09:23Some Krakens
09:24Guarding a Raging Maelstrom
09:26This is one that's a new
09:28Erm
09:30New Structures
09:31In the DLC
09:32Going down
09:33Unfortunately we don't have time
09:34And erm
09:35Right
09:35End of the turn
09:38Ok
09:38Now
09:39I don't believe we can cast Corrupt a Source yet
09:41Nope
09:41We can only cast it when it's undefended
09:43So I'll have to cut
09:44Kick these guys off first
09:47Right
09:47They do have a Lord of the Deep
09:49This could be trouble
09:51Let's go see what they can do
09:53Lord of the Deep is a tier 4 unit
09:55That comes out of the dwelling
09:57Which is short of the north
09:58And it has a very powerful unique ability
10:00Called Thunderstorm
10:01Which if I know the Lord of the Deep
10:03Is going to use as the very first thing that he does
10:06Let's see
10:08Nope
10:09It looks like the AI has decided to use
10:10The new AI trick that it's been taught
10:12Where it will wait for us to come to him
10:14So we actually have a bit of a reprieve
10:18Previously
10:18In our previous versions of the game
10:20The AI would always charge forwards
10:21Now sometimes the AI will actually stand back
10:24And wait for you to approach
10:25So to make it a bit more challenging
10:27So you can't just sort of
10:28Stand there and form a wall
10:30Now
10:31We'll send forwards first the Bone Collector
10:34He's our main tank tier 3 unit
10:36His stats aren't actually that great
10:38But he has an amazing ability
10:40Collect Bones
10:41He can eat corpses from the battlefields
10:43To get more health
10:44More damage
10:46And to heal himself at the same time
10:48So he's going to run forwards and guard
10:50Hopefully survive the initial encounter
10:52We also have these guys
10:54Deathbringers
10:55Frostling Deathbringers
10:56No doubt
10:57These sort of Hellraiser-esque
11:00Undead minions
11:01Are very powerful
11:03The main ability is
11:04Inflict Ghoul Curse
11:06This means any unit they strike
11:08Has a chance to be inflicted
11:09With the Ghoulish disease
11:10So if we can kill a Ghoul cursed unit
11:12It will come back under our control
11:14As an undead unit
11:15So they're very handy to have around
11:17Shall we move forwards as well
11:18Or float forwards as they do
11:22What else have we got?
11:24The Lost Soul
11:25This is the Necromancer's Scout unit
11:28It's incorporeal
11:29Low damage
11:30Floating
11:31But it's main abilities are
11:33Exploit Despair
11:34And Undying
11:36Exploit Despair simply means
11:38It does more damage to people with low morale
11:39Undying is much more interesting
11:41After two turns
11:42It will come back from the dead
11:44Once for battle
11:45So it's very good
11:46As a sort of a throw away unit
11:48To chuck at the enemy
11:49To distract him
11:50Whilst you're more fragile
11:52And well
11:52With plate more irreplaceable units
11:55Are kind of hiding behind it
11:56Okay
11:57Send forward our Reanimator
11:58The Frostling Reanimator
12:00Is
12:01A
12:02Baby Necromancer
12:03Basically
12:04He's our little sort of apprentice
12:05He's got a little shovel
12:06For digging up dead people
12:08He's going to throw bolts to people
12:10Raise Corpse
12:11This lets us
12:12Create little sort of skeleton
12:14Crawling around guys
12:15Called cadavers
12:15Out of dead bodies
12:17He's also vital
12:18Because he's one of the only units
12:19We have that can heal undead
12:21Undead units do not heal naturally
12:23So it's vitally important
12:24That we have units
12:25Like the Reanimator
12:26And like Necromancer Heroes around
12:28Who can keep our guys healthy
12:30As they fight
12:31Finally
12:32My favourite unit
12:33In the Necromancer line-up
12:35The Banshee
12:36The Banshee is a debuffing machine
12:38This ability
12:40Whale of Despair
12:41Is a massive area of effect
12:43That applies the Despair debuff
12:45To everyone it hits
12:47Assuming that they don't pass a save
12:49Despair is minus 300 morale
12:51And 20% spirit weakness
12:53So definitely want to hit them
12:54With that first
12:56Okay
12:57Let's see what they do
12:58I wake up
12:59I think I'm close enough
13:00So
13:01Yep
13:02There goes the Lord of the Deep
13:04And the Thunderstorm is now happening
13:05And it started raining
13:07And everybody is attacking
13:12Fortunately
13:12My tank has resisted the netting attempts
13:16Took some pot shots
13:19Now
13:20Quick look
13:20Thunderstorm
13:22All of our units become drenched
13:24Drenched basically means
13:26That they are more resistant to fire
13:27Which is actually good for us
13:28And weak to frost and lightning
13:31Now lightning does matter
13:33Because it's going to
13:34Every turn
13:34Everyone is going to get struck by lightning
13:36But the frost weakness
13:37We don't really care about
13:38They don't use frost damage
13:39Lightning could be a problem
13:40But I'm sure we can
13:42Finish off these guys
13:43Before it really becomes an issue
13:45Now
13:46Do you have any nice spells to use?
13:48Stiffen limbs
13:49Stiffen limbs is amazing
13:50No saving throw
13:51Slows the enemy down
13:52And makes it easier to kill
13:54Cast up the walls of the Deep
13:55To keep them out of the way
13:57And
13:57And
13:59Let's try taking some guys down
14:01First things first
14:02Let's use the Scream
14:03So I can go to the other camera view
14:04So I can see what's going on
14:06Get over here
14:07Let's phase
14:08Because
14:08Well
14:12Let's shoot it off
14:14Shoot it off
14:16Okay
14:16Okay
14:17Got despair off on a couple of them
14:19The reanimators have inflict despair as well
14:21Can we get any more despair?
14:23Because they're frostling reanimators
14:25They can also inflict the chewing
14:27Ah that's better
14:28Now see
14:28This guy is super upset
14:30Despair stacks as well
14:31So with 3 stacks of despair
14:33He is the worst possible morale level
14:35Which means that not only will he almost guaranteed fumble any attack he does
14:39It means our lowly little lost soul
14:41With it's 3-3 damage attack
14:43Can do absolutely ridiculous damage to this guy
14:46Bye bye
14:48Pop
14:49So 28 damage from a tier 1 scout
14:51Not bad
14:51And
14:52What else are we going to do?
14:54Let's
14:55Demonstrate eating dead people
14:57So
14:58Run over here
14:59With our death bringer
15:00And kill the human scout
15:02Oh
15:02He resisted our ghoul curse unfortunately
15:04So he's not going to be coming back
15:06However
15:07Oh
15:08The bone collector is out of movements
15:09Because he got attacked too much
15:11Well
15:11So much for that idea
15:12He'll have to eat somebody next turn I guess
15:14Erm
15:15And the other death bringer can go over here
15:17Maybe we can get this guy as our little friend
15:20Oh
15:21The lost mariner
15:21Oh
15:22And we got him with the ghoul curse
15:23The lost mariner
15:24As an aside
15:26Is
15:27Essentially
15:27A sailor
15:29Who's been captured by the merfolk
15:30Who live in the reef colony
15:32Erm
15:32He's normally quite a good unit
15:34He's a tier 2 irregular
15:35He can shoot pistol
15:36He can throw a net
15:37He's got a ranged paralysis attack
15:39A mind control immunity
15:41Probably because he's already been mind controlled by the mermaids and stuff
15:44And a volunteer
15:46To make him nice and cheap
15:48But anyway he'll be on our side next turn
15:50Assuming I can kill him
15:51I don't think we're going to have any problems then
15:53And
15:54Ok
15:54Ok
15:54I think that's the thunderstorm
15:57He was struck by lightning
15:58So we need to end this battle fast
16:01Here comes the lord of the deep
16:04Messing up our bags
16:06He's quite badly
16:06But no matter
16:09I think it's time to bring in the big guns
16:12Ok first things first
16:13Ray's corpse
16:14Show you the cadavers
16:15These little human scoundrels
16:17You can turn into these guys
16:19Cadavers
16:19These guys are great
16:20They're like little baby skeletons
16:22That crawl all over up on the ground
16:24With swords stuck in their bags
16:25Fortunately he's only just coming to battle
16:28So he's got no move points
16:29We can't really do anything with him right now
16:31But these guys are very useful for distracting enemies
16:33He also has this amazing ability
16:36Offering of bone
16:37If he was able to get over to our bone collector
16:40He could feed himself to the bone collector
16:42To heal him up
16:43But that's not possible
16:45So bone collector can come over here
16:46And he can eat the human scoundrel
16:50So we heal
16:51We now have 20 more hit points than we had before
16:53And our melee strike has gone up to 16
16:55I believe before
16:57It was 14
16:58So plus 1 resistance
17:00Plus 2 attack
17:00And plus 20 hit points
17:03So
17:04We beat up the lord of the deep
17:10Ok now hopefully
17:11If we're really lucky
17:12The ghoul curse will work on this guy
17:14We only get one chance
17:15If he resists it
17:17Then the guy will be immune to Ghoulka
17:19For the rest of the van
17:20And we got him
17:21He's out now
17:22Fantastic
17:24And can we wait?
17:25Banshee
17:26Banshee can finish him off
17:28And as we kill him
17:30The thunderstorm ends
17:31There's another new improvement we've put in
17:33If a spell
17:33A global spell is active
17:35And you can kill the person who cast it
17:37The spell will be cancelled
17:39In tactical combat
17:39So people are upset about chaos rift
17:42If you can kill the sorcerer who cast it
17:44You can cancel the spell
17:45Probably much more reliable than
17:47Trying to do it
17:48With a discharge
17:51Oop missed it
17:52Fortunately this guy fumbles
17:54Because of the low morale
17:55And he's coming with another exploit despair back to the ab
17:59And he's dead
18:01Doesn't matter
18:01He'll come back after the battle
18:03Because of his undying ability
18:05Hop
18:05He's dead
18:06And we tick the field
18:09Ok and here we are
18:10As promised
18:11We now have some new friends from our ghoul curse
18:13We have a lord of the deep
18:15As you can see here
18:17He's got like this rather sort of fetching cracky texture
18:19He's now an undead
18:21And a ghoul
18:22Now as discussed
18:23Undead means he can't regenerate
18:24But he is immune to blight damage
18:26And gets a bit of frost protection
18:28Unfortunately also means
18:30His fire protection has been reduced
18:32And he has a big whopping 60% spirit weakness
18:3540% of that comes from undead
18:37But an extra 20% from being a ghoul
18:40Now a ghoul is a sort of undeadified version
18:43Of a living unit
18:45To begin with they're quite fragile
18:47But there's a number of spells and buffs you can get
18:50Which makes them more powerful
18:51The most easy to get is this
18:53The Embalmers Guild
18:54The Embalmers Guild
18:56Gives all of our ghoul units
18:58The Embalmed ability
18:59More hit points
19:00And a big pile of fire protection
19:02Which is nice
19:04Ok
19:04So
19:05I think we're pretty much done here
19:06All we've got to do is convert the spring of life
19:10Step off it so you can see what it looks like now
19:12In all of it's torched out glory
19:15There you are
19:16A corrupted spring
19:17Gives dead population and mana
19:19Instead of living population and happiness
19:22So
19:23We also as a prize
19:24Got this rather fetching little nightshade fairy
19:27If we wanted we could take the nightshade fairy over here
19:30Park him on the well of souls
19:31If it drinks from the well it will also become a ghoul
19:34So we could convert it to join our ever expanding army of the dead
19:38So
19:39Please join us later when we'll be looking at the Tigran Rogue
19:44And many new features such as race governance upgrades
19:48The new specialisations for alignment
19:51And new diplomacy options like vassalisation
19:55To be continued
19:55To be continued
