Nice! If only we could see it in a larger window.
Edit: Hey goblins retreat when they are hit Or have strike and return.
The shaman animations are sick!

The former one. That's what the commentary tells us.

Eternor noticed that there are some new screenshots as well. Here are those I found interesting.
Finally a chieftain or butcher in action.
They do seem powerful.
They really want us to win the first mission Just look at the number of troops you get.
Two heroes. Hmm.
Pillage em all
Yes I love the cyclopses.
At least a peek on the racial. Might over magic *snickers*
Those sneaky creeps are running
Razing. I kind of like the idea, can all dwellings be razed?
Funny how you see those blood drops per attack
Brutes aren't they?
That sacrificial location we saw in the video.
Hmm not related to shatter magic skills. Nice.

I don't really have a PC of my own, and not enough of the games I like come for the Mac I own, so I mainly play console games to help keep my mind off of it. (Pokemon Pearl has been eating much my time for the past few weeks. . )
Excellent screenshots, by the way.

I guess the skull of the dragon king is the skull of shadows. We know it ended up in a temple that the orcs protect but I also seem to remember that it was built by followers of Sar Elam.
I wonder if Quroc wants it for power or to seal the demons once and for all.

Nice pic in the signature Asheron It's not just that it's good but ubi has played the cards right. Appealing features alone are not what keeps the demand going, it's mostly the community part and uncovering the (scarce)info bit by bit. The fact that almost everything seems good about it doesn't hurt either.
Edit: Ah it seems it will be stronghold after all.

It says that the Battle Griffin dealt 12 damage and killing 4 Goblins in one of the screens. So suffice to say, unupgraded Goblins have 3 hit points.
I can hardly wait for the expansion myself, although it'll come out when I'm back in school.

Nice screenshots! Thanks Elvin. Hmmm the blood drops are kind of funny i first thought it was a special attack from this bloodrage thing with wich you would drain life but seeing that a tier 1 goblin has the same number that wouldn't make any sence but well seems clear that it is the rage points they gain. But then i find something kind of weired. In the picture where the squire gets beaten the attacker gets +100 rage points and the centauer gets +20? or who is it that gets the +20...? Anyways it looks totally awesome... and i think Quroc won't claim the shadow for his own goals but for the purpose of libertating his race from the human opression and then when they are free they'll seal it away for good.
Quote: Btw Azagal, have you read "The Silmarillion" (J.R.R. Tolkien)? In case you haven't there's a dwarf there named Azaghâl. It's a stunning coincidence if your name is Azagal and your picture is a dwarf hero if you haven't read the book.
Heeehe you are absolutely right i read The Silmarillion as i'm a Lord of the Rings fan and i really liked the books (the little hobbit and of course the ring trillogy). And yeah i have allways liked the dwarfs and Azaghâl seemed really cool so there was my avatar name^^ you seem to be a fan to Gil-Gallad
gee this is a long post... Well in the video they say that you can sacrefice creatures for experience (here it's 3exp per peasent), Goblins run away when they get attacked (its not strike and return), they say that you can actually pillage and burn peasant huts (they didn't say if it also works with other dwellings), you get a rage bonus for being affected with a negative spell what sort soever,they confirmed that you goblins can switch sides (they did not say what would have to be the case), when a enemy stack dies for good all orc units get rage points and there is a warscream to raise all your units ragepoints. Thats everything new as far as i know.
A yes and he says that the shaman girl and Quroc will be fighting about the future of their actions after they liberated themselves.
Btw. now i can answer my own question the squire died and they all got +20 additional rage points.

Very nice I just wish too see the rest of the Barbarian skills. Quroq has Leadership so i hope Retribution is one Barbs Attack perks that would go well whit the 'Mirth' Battle Cry we saw in the video.

So they lower spell power by their own amount of spellpower... Interresting, if you could find a couple of those and fight dungeon And those with the flails what are they?
Do you think at that each of the alts. for StrongHold will have different Rage abilities?

Did anybody notice that when the butcher and the cyclops reached their first rage level it says:"Butcher / Cyclos has reach level 1 DEMON rage" (in the text box under the ATB bar) and not blood rage? I don't think that there will be a difference between the rage bonuses though... but IF Demon rage gives other bonuses than Blood rage this will turn out to be one very complex faction.

Demon rage,blood rage,hou caresLol,Buthchers do high damageTHe orc hero has an ability named ''memory of our blood''.That thing probably will imune the orc troops against chain shot,or the units can gate,the icon of this ability is awesome

This is guesswork ... The possibility of the Orcs gating is as good as zero as the Orc hero does not have the Gating skill.

Very nice video and screenshots. Thanks for that
On one picture the cyclops get 1 Demon Rage. I think that's odd. You should think that the demon-looking-cyclop would get that and that the brown-barbarianlooking-cyclop on the screenshot would get Blood Rage.
Butchers with Expert Blood Rage and Expert luck must be a tough opponent.

This must have been from the Demo, so maybe they will change it back to Blood rage... Which i prefer.. But demon rage also good too, since they are decends of Demons
