New expansion mechanic shown in the video: resurrection now teleports the hero home safely, so they don't get mobbed again.

Also, if the next map is Urban Renewal, then I am excited because that is also my favorite map and extremely cathartic to play.

Actually, that's just how the Agrelan res works. Unlike Krypta's.

Also, does the Masoleum spawn undead?

Only if it gets blown up. How it works hasn't really been explained so far in the videos, so I expect they'll do that when it gets used.

Note: I've been slacking like crazy on the voice clips because the cool collectible cards I've been using have been 404'ing on cyberlore's website for forever now, and repeated emails the the webmaster have fallen on predictably deaf ears. However, I finally remembered that the wayback machine is a thing that exists and they appear to have some copies. So I'm going to be going back over the next few days and attempting to get caught up on the bonus material.

This does remind me, however,

Nice piece of fish, do you still have your native materials for this stuff around? If so, can I get you to post a 722x955 version, in sync with the other cards? I would like to use Rockpounder's for the dwarf voice for obvious reasons.

I dearly wish I could help, but that image comes from google image search and is really lovely to boot. My source image has the same resolution (that is literally the biggest and best I could find), which it's why it is such a lovely 'shop - and even then I fiddled about with it for ages. I wish I could be of more assistance, because this LP is loving awesome and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Also, you don't owe me a goddamn thing, making this LP is more than enough to keep me grateful. Besides, I already have the all the Majesty everythings. If you're still going to insist though, I'd love for the first person to post - that doesn't have the game - to get one, so I'd donate it towards that if I can. Everyone should get a change to experience the utter frustration and panic this game can bring.

No worries - I'll use the Cyberlore one for the fronting and link your guy in the video description.

For those following along, there IS a download for the .PSD template for the trading cards if that's something someone would be interested in. https://web.archive.org/web/20120321175700/http://www.cyberlore.com/Majesty/downloads/wizcard.zip

That said, I have no image editing chops really at all, so I dunno how useful this is.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that setting an attack flag is what triggered the red player to start attacking. I always kind of just assumed that it happened by itself at some point. I think I've only had to restart that mission once, so I didn't really have time to figure out the mechanics of it.

What I can say is that if you start trying to take out the trash really early, it becomes even more of a clusterfuck, because you don't have the manpower to kill everything, much less destroy everything. So you're forced to pretty much just slowly chip away at whatever building is closest while hoping your heroes won't try to follow a rogue to the other side of town instead. I've found that guard towers were pretty effective at locking down your territory in this mission, though. When fully upgraded, they can sort of keep away all the cowardly elves and rogues. Kinda. Maybe...

Oh, and that message about the rebellious peasants that was laughed at in the video can be sort of dangerous actually. I'm pretty sure I recall seeing a bunch of enemy peasants getting spawned and attacking my buildings. And basically just de-construct them.

As I said earlier, this is my favorite mission in the game because you just set up and then steamroll over your enemies. While upgrading gear will let your enemies get dangerous, you can build a Fairgrounds and then set it to a melee-only tournament so your paladins, adepts and monks can level to ridiculous heights, gaining huge dodge ratings in the process and ensuring that nothing will stop them from rolling over anything in their path. Plus when you've got adepts it means you've got Winged Feet, so your paladins can chase down anything. Any attack flag will set things off though, even if you don't put any money into it- I've occasionally misclicked my way into kicking the hornet's nest.

As to the shapeshifting potions, they basically turn your hero into one of three different monsters when consumed: Melee heroes turn into minotaurs, Ranged heroes turn into dryads, and Casters turn into medusa(s? e?). It provides a boost to their attack stat so they do more damage, plus it just looks funny.

So it's entirely possible that all Majesty 1 elves are male, while all Majesty 2 elves are female.

Canonically, I believe that all of the Majesty 1 elves were male, and all of the Majesty 2 elves were female, because they had a deal where each gender would trade off when they would hang around in Ardania. Unfortunately, after Majesty 2 the female elves disappeared, possibly because they enjoyed themselves too much, or possibly because they didn't want to deal with the male elves new religion, which involved turning them into more xenophobic maniacs than they already were.

Not that this helped the mental balance of the male elves...

The easy way to finish this mission is Guardhouses. Elves and Rogues are horribly scared of arrows, so with a perimeter of guardhouses those 2 races are no longer a threat. If the goblins managed to tear down one though, then there's a flood of ever-growing angry elves and rogues pouring in.

Well that explains why I couldn't beat this mission last time I tried. I didn't realize they were allied at the start, so I assumed I had to start thinning their numbers right away. So the first thing I'd do was place reward flags on enemy buildings so the red rogues would attack their own stuff. And of course I'd be completely overwhelmed before I got my town up and running no matter what else I did.

Great mission. It looks a lot more fun when you know what to do.

By the way, do you know when you'll show the extra mission (Wrath of Krolm)?

Nah, I figure it's just that their tax forms are filled out by the collectors.
Like, they wait until the warriors are gone, then wander in and take some stuff out of the piles of gold, deciding it's a nice compromise between keeping their jobs and keeping their lives.

OK, you lot, I was gonna be a little more crafty about this, but it's out there now (he posted about it on Episode 1 of our LP, and also the Steam Community forum), so I might as well post it.

Part of the reason we've been so quiet is because I've been talking to George Ladoux - AKA, Lord Venn Fairweather, the Royal Advisor. Turns out he is one of the chillest dudes in existence, and he's interested in commentating the home stretch of episodes with us. He's also going to fill in a particular gap that fans of this game might be aware of, that never got filled in the game itself. I'm sure someone will guess what I mean, but I'll let you speculate a bit for the fun.

The next few episodes are going to come fairly rapid fire - one every couple of days - so we can get the backlog that we built up during the quiet period and get to the episodes where we'll be on with the guy we've been saying is the heart of this game as soon as possible.

I hope this pumps you guys up because I am loving stoked about this.
