Harbinger Autumn log#1576: It has been quiet on the front for almost an entire month which is not typical in a war. Instead of spear heading the legions forces we are licking our wounds and trying to reinforce the front. While not the best of plans as an inactive enemy would be an easy target the fact that a heavy warp storm has overcome us and we have no contact with the larger empire. Plus this is also heavily affecting our communication with the fleet in orbit. So we have chosen not to attack as we do not know what is in the greater waters around us. Our best option is to now hold the line and hope that the demonic forces do not get through.
"I don't want to make my ship too big so I'm going to redesign it, because if it gets too big it gets too powerful" - he says while testing his 'kills pretty much anything' laser turrets.

No doubt that Lt. gunner jerry has something to do with this. Anyway, I have honed my body for maximum armor penetration. I know that I have served the Deep Wat-“
Oddly, the original design of this COULD fly - you can see some of the history of this with the thruster placement and on the underside it has space for internal rotor extra armour. ^^
They need to make the legion (the good guys) a enemy in from the depths. Perhaps it's own game mode (and with more crafts ) with starter lvl enemy's, to more godly enemy's the further you carve into the legion's territory. Have it start off saying "it's been 5 years since the good guys took over the world. Life is dull and boring. It's time for a villain to be born, and to see if they are still as strong as they where when the started to consume this planet." Idk just a idea
Personal log #9: It's been weeks since we've been at work on our escape ship, at first only a dozen of the villagers helped us however as the project progressed more and more of them joined us, we were in a very advantageous location as the currents of the seas would carry the wreckage of the battles between the Blood Guard and the Scarlet Dawn toward us, at night we would set up nets to catch whatever was being carried away and at sunrise we collected it and used it on our ship. It was this method that the Deep Water Guard used before to collect the more exotic and advanced parts from the more advanced factions that allowed us to construct the most vital parts of the ship since rusty iron won't be much good when sailing over the great abyss oceans. Surprisingly the construction process went quite smoothly, Erika was an amazing leader and knew how to motivate the others, if my father were here he would've probably told me that she should've been the Baron's heir in my stead, well I suppose in the end I am more of an engineer than a leader, I designed most of the ship along with the help of Erika and some former engineers from various factions and I was also the one building the more complicated components. In almost three weeks we had completed the ship, it was bigger than two Bulwarks with a very strong hull to sustain damage and resist the enormous waves the legends speak of, made out of a mixture of alloys designed by a White Flayer engineer to make the hull lighter than if it was made of pure steel and one of the Lightning Hoods engineers helped to design the engines for maximum efficiency. It wasn't pretty at all being built from limited resources however the Deep Water Guards know how to make even the dirtiest of shacks look like home with a few leaves, four sticks and a rock, I'm sure they'll figure out something to decorate. "Well, this was a project and a half wasn't it Erika ?" "Definitively, I hope it just works",she said with a sigh. "Don't worry, aren't those stories about the explorers of the abyss oceans centuries old ? surely they had much worst in term of equipment" She looked down "Cyber, when I said we should sail toward the unknown I was unsure of myself, I was as scared as everyone else and said the first thing that came to my mind, for all that we know I may very well be leading everyone to their death" "Erika, don't be afraid, we all know the risks and are ready to do whatever it takes to escape this madness. You may be questioning your decisions however let me tell you that you're the best leader we could have in these times and no matter what happens I'll always love you" "thanks Cyber" We hugged and she gave me a kiss, however the same way things go well they can go wrong at any moment. An old pirate captain from the DWG, Bill, came running toward us "Sorry to be interruptin' ye two lovebirds but has any of ye seen these darned river sailors callin' themselves sentinels ?" "Wait, the sentinels haven't returned yet ?" "Yup, it ain't time for kisses, for all that we know Lathrix just sent'em to the depths of the sea and now they probably are headin' this way" An explosion is heard in the distance and out of the fog we saw in horror a fleet of red painted ships heading our way, no doubt the Blood Guard finally caught up with us. "This is really bad, quick everyone aboard !" yelled Erika Our ship was not made for combat it only had a few cheap canons but all of the resources went into the hull and the engines, we would've normally done a few tests and then sailed away but now we have no choices left. Once everyone was aboard I started the engines and sailed toward the great abyss at full speed, the Blood Guard chased us until they had to do the same at which point they turned back. That was it, we were sailing on the great abyss oceans, few did it and even less lived to tell the tale. -Baron Von Cyberus, the crestfallen deserter
You could build in one-pipe particle cannons that are mounted on two axis turrets, to use agains small annoying flyers! Also, you could have tractor beams holding floating railguns, like the twin guard!
At this point I'm just hoping you get to see some of the other godly and expert designs from the Scarlet Dawn. The Anarchist is about the last formidable godly design you haven't seen, but the Dire Harvest is also a good one. I'd also like you to see the Sagittarion, as it is one of the designs I made and I'm quite proud of the way it looks.
Idea for you Lathland : Any difficulty/ settings you want. But you can only have 1 Self made design to grow your fleet you must Capture enemy ships Attempt #1 (like so lathrix can see)
he doesnt like OP ships because it makes the game too easy.i think the ECOLI was way too op and it put him off big ships also the plague guard is like 170k so 100k isnt that much
Best intro ever put on UA-cam. You are best UA-camr for that reason alone. You should have all 7 trillion or however many people are on the planet subscribed to you and get the super mega emerald play button.
Why not just stick a few large jet engines on the back, it might not affect speed much, but having large, flashy, and fiery things at the back would probably look cool.
I was honestly considering testing this, It's just the huge fuel drain that custom jets take - With the 200k+ engine power from regular fuel engines already draining the reserves It's just too much for too little of an effect sadly!
Hey lathrix I just started my nether campaign and I captured an atlas and turned it into my Personal boat :) I learned a lot about the systems for it from you so thanks
Seeing as this series takes a while for new episodes I'm just going to watch the whole thing again maybe by the time I'm back here there will be another episode. Keep em coming lath.
For your next campaign, play the Dangerous waters campaign. They allowed building your own craft so try to make ww2 style ships and planes so no jets, missiles or lasers!
My suggestion: Make a series (maybe series out of livestreams!) where you just build perfect craft for the campaign (for the AI to use against the player!). I think it would be very fun to do (because those would be everlasting ships which aren't affected by how close you are to finishing the campaign) and watch (because I think building stuff is the best aspect of FTD).
Might be a tad out of place but for the space in the back you mentioned at 15:50 you could possibly be make a torpedo launching turret or missle turret that could possibly fill it out nicely.
How about an observation deck. I would put a captains chair on a turret connected to the mainframe so you can always tell what the ship is targeting. This way you also have a full panoramic of the insuing chaos and destruction.
nice little yatch, the firepower was a bit underwhelming on wooden ships, but on heavy armore? MAGNIFICIENT!! What you can add? torpedo! you have little to counter submarine and i'm not sure how you should fare against spacecraft, but i haven't see any for some time.
My only criticism is that Lathrix could have boosted anti-air defense by adding simple weapons, such as: •T-class 20mm: 360° rotation max elevation: 85° Range: 1,260 m •Octuple 40mm Mk.S: 360° rotation Max elevation: 80° Range: 2,400 m •Quad 40mm Mk.I: 360° rotation Max elevation: 70° Range: 3,000 m
Put a stupidly large rail gun at the back kind capping over the back or extended the back slightly so it's not that laser heavy. So then it's laser heavy and rail gun heavy 👍 or put a stupidly large missile battery...
How do you keep your ships from going over the 500k resource mark? I built a battleship that is 10k volume less than the Nialliv, uses stone for the front and the back(backing up 1m metal), the rest is 3 layers of metal and with a weak LAM it costs 460k resource.
welcome to help from lathrix! person: hey lathrix, so all my life i've been depressed and i want to be happy again, do you have any ideas? lathrix: LAZERS person:uhh o- lathrix: LAZERS, LAZERRRRRRSSSSSS!!!!!!! that's been help from lathrix, good bye! LAZERS!
Do a little healer drone launch pad under that laser at the back, the healer drone being miniscule and not very effective, but cute. And then name the drone cookies
I kinda feel sorry for the Medringuard, it is definitely the best looking craft of the legion in my honest opinion, and we never got to see its finished form. I truly hope that you will finish it by the end of the series.
make it a submarine by adding the spinning blocks making an opening in the hull so it will sink. ive never played this game so i dont know if it is one of those wierd games that eather blowes up or deletes your ship when you get to far underwater.
Greetings...sir and sir...and welcome... From the Depths...me Lathrix...and ofcourse...the sandbox mode...in which we are haveing a...at the new ship...RAILS!!! *genius*
Behold, the ultimate good guy, 'Nialliv'! - Now isn't that just a name that screams 'Hero'?
YES THE SERIOUS INTRO
Can I tell you to get spore and do a gameplay?
Congrats on 200K
Mitchell Woelfer that is too evil for the good guys and the lathrixian legion has better coffee machines than anyone in the world
Lathland lasers and missiles are overpowered on your builds
So... Nialliv is obviously Villain backwards, aka the opposite of villain... Do you doubters still believe that Lath is the bad guy?
alfalfr3d hell ya he's a good guy.

just ask all the fallen factions that totally havent been brainwashed

On the last Scarlet dawn base you should just attack it without luring out the reinforcements and throw everything you’ve got at it
This is the final log of 3rd officer Shannon from the cannon department.

"Talk about bad ways to end a job..."
"What more could you want from a ship?"
I don't suppose you could make it fly, now could you?
AngelOfDeathIX don’t give him ideas...

If someone could get ahold of several seasons worth of Lathrixian ships, had some time on their hands, and got bored enough... That could happen.
Please do this
It would be so glorious
And so much fun

Personal log #9:
It's been weeks since we've been at work on our escape ship, at first only a dozen of the villagers helped us however as the project progressed more and more of them joined us, we were in a very advantageous location as the currents of the seas would carry the wreckage of the battles between the Blood Guard and the Scarlet Dawn toward us, at night we would set up nets to catch whatever was being carried away and at sunrise we collected it and used it on our ship. It was this method that the Deep Water Guard used before to collect the more exotic and advanced parts from the more advanced factions that allowed us to construct the most vital parts of the ship since rusty iron won't be much good when sailing over the great abyss oceans.
Surprisingly the construction process went quite smoothly, Erika was an amazing leader and knew how to motivate the others, if my father were here he would've probably told me that she should've been the Baron's heir in my stead, well I suppose in the end I am more of an engineer than a leader, I designed most of the ship along with the help of Erika and some former engineers from various factions and I was also the one building the more complicated components.
In almost three weeks we had completed the ship, it was bigger than two Bulwarks with a very strong hull to sustain damage and resist the enormous waves the legends speak of, made out of a mixture of alloys designed by a White Flayer engineer to make the hull lighter than if it was made of pure steel and one of the Lightning Hoods engineers helped to design the engines for maximum efficiency. It wasn't pretty at all being built from limited resources however the Deep Water Guards know how to make even the dirtiest of shacks look like home with a few leaves, four sticks and a rock, I'm sure they'll figure out something to decorate.
"Well, this was a project and a half wasn't it Erika ?"
"Definitively, I hope it just works",she said with a sigh.
"Don't worry, aren't those stories about the explorers of the abyss oceans centuries old ? surely they had much worst in term of equipment"
She looked down "Cyber, when I said we should sail toward the unknown I was unsure of myself, I was as scared as everyone else and said the first thing that came to my mind, for all that we know I may very well be leading everyone to their death"
"Erika, don't be afraid, we all know the risks and are ready to do whatever it takes to escape this madness. You may be questioning your decisions however let me tell you that you're the best leader we could have in these times and no matter what happens I'll always love you"
"thanks Cyber"
We hugged and she gave me a kiss, however the same way things go well they can go wrong at any moment.
An old pirate captain from the DWG, Bill, came running toward us
"Sorry to be interruptin' ye two lovebirds but has any of ye seen these darned river sailors callin' themselves sentinels ?"
"Wait, the sentinels haven't returned yet ?"
"Yup, it ain't time for kisses, for all that we know Lathrix just sent'em to the depths of the sea and now they probably are headin' this way"
An explosion is heard in the distance and out of the fog we saw in horror a fleet of red painted ships heading our way, no doubt the Blood Guard finally caught up with us.
"This is really bad, quick everyone aboard !" yelled Erika
Our ship was not made for combat it only had a few cheap canons but all of the resources went into the hull and the engines, we would've normally done a few tests and then sailed away but now we have no choices left.

So happy to see FtD back on my favorite FtD channel! I absolutely love this game and very few youtubers cover it with the quality Lathrix does.

THE LORD OF LORDS HAS RETURNED ALL HAIL THE LATHRIXIAN REGIME!
Lathrix likes his lazer box.
Idea for you Lathland : Any difficulty/ settings you want. But you can only have 1 Self made design to grow your fleet you must Capture enemy ships Attempt #1 (like so lathrix can see)
What we need is for someone to make a campaign where you can just make a bunch of buildings and defend yourself
i would love that!
Survive 12 waves per faction.
Tim Strong to build a profitable and safe city of cannons and demons, of course!
Thumbs up for the hidden mini missle section
I'm glad he kept the intro!
as you tried to do before, build a minimum 100k super ship capable of destroying all enemies of the lathrixian legion like so he can see
he doesnt like OP ships because it makes the game too easy.i think the ECOLI was way too op and it put him off big ships also the plague guard is like 170k so 100k isnt that much
yeah, but just for fun since he has completed the campaign a few times by now
its more fun to have weaker ships as it makes battles harder and there is always the possibility of losing
again you're right. but i personally love seeing lathrix build. i think it would fun to see the peak of lathrix design
true the big ships are the best part of from the depths
Best intro ever put on UA-cam. You are best UA-camr for that reason alone. You should have all 7 trillion or however many people are on the planet subscribed to you and get the super mega emerald play button.
Tzeench! Change you can believe in! Change, if you like it or not!
Why not just stick a few large jet engines on the back, it might not affect speed much, but having large, flashy, and fiery things at the back would probably look cool.

The medringaurd at the end there looked almost like a star destroyer without its nose crashing into the ocean.
It really did
YES THE INTRO
At 3:20 ish, all I could think of was "Oh, I'm afraid your friends will find this battlestation fully operational..."
Your custom builds are always so much fun to see.
At first, I thought this was a repeat video. Then I saw the runtime was longer than 20 seconds. I am so glad you used that intro.XD
Wow he actually used the intro... Kudos lath
Build a shotgun particle cannon hovrrcraft.
Really high damage at short range with lots of beams and almost no accuracy
its here! best birthday gift ever!
Opened UA-cam, saw the video and was then greeted by this amazing Intro. Love your vids.
Hey lathrix I just started my nether campaign and I captured an atlas and turned it into my Personal boat :) I learned a lot about the systems for it from you so thanks
Projectiles going Mach 4, check. Teeny tiny missiles, check. Crazy armor, check. Hole in butt, check.
Seeing as this series takes a while for new episodes I'm just going to watch the whole thing again maybe by the time I'm back here there will be another episode.
Keep em coming lath.
Lathland is like an crasy weapon inventor and likes to blow things up. :)
He did it he kept the intro thank you lathrix thank you so much
For your next campaign, play the Dangerous waters campaign. They allowed building your own craft so try to make ww2 style ships and planes so no jets, missiles or lasers!
This is it. This is the moment I've realized, Lathrix has mastered the boom and the bang.
My suggestion:
Make a series (maybe series out of livestreams!) where you just build perfect craft for the campaign (for the AI to use against the player!). I think it would be very fun to do (because those would be everlasting ships which aren't affected by how close you are to finishing the campaign) and watch (because I think building stuff is the best aspect of FTD).
Congratulations on 200k! Your channel is the best and always has been the best!
i know this videos is years old, but this might be my favorite design of yours
The ship looks really good. I love any battleship with tons of armor, it just makes me feel good for some reason
I have two Ideas for the next series :
1) every vehicle would have only one weapon but very overpowered
2) you could use vehicles made by us
Yess!! The best intro ever has returned to haunt us all!!
Might be a tad out of place but for the space in the back you mentioned at 15:50 you could possibly be make a torpedo launching turret or missle turret that could possibly fill it out nicely.
Did you know that you can actually make things fly using light? Lasers are even more effective.

Congratulations on 200k lath you deserve it
WOOOO FTD
man I have been waiting for this
Love your build style and your commentary
Keep up the great work.
Next campaign should include custom jet builds as a focus. And lots more swarm craft. Love the megaships though.
The mad man, he used the intro
You'd think that a person with the name Dagg wouldn't copy the comment of the person above him.
Lassigamer what
The intro was awesome
20:00 i understood "the bedroom guard" (:
Nialliv?
Mirrors?
Oooh i see what you did there.
Ya sneeky sneeky grot.
You actually had me worried that my phone was saying goodbye world.
That intro was perfect.
So if the Scarlet Dawn are aliens, is Lathrix XCOM?
nice little yatch, the firepower was a bit underwhelming on wooden ships, but on heavy armore? MAGNIFICIENT!!
What you can add? torpedo! you have little to counter submarine and i'm not sure how you should fare against spacecraft, but i haven't see any for some time.
Space at back, make 4 dual barreled AAs, make it rapid fire flak, for flying defense, and don't forget torpedo's for teh subs
Actually, Nialliv is the reverse of Villain! It’s the perfect good guy name!
My only criticism is that Lathrix could have boosted anti-air defense by adding simple weapons, such as:
•T-class 20mm: 360° rotation
max elevation: 85°
Range: 1,260 m
•Octuple 40mm Mk.S: 360° rotation
Max elevation: 80°
Range: 2,400 m
•Quad 40mm Mk.I: 360° rotation
Max elevation: 70°
Range: 3,000 m
That thing as a SUB? That would be utterly insane.
Someone has to count how many times lathrix has said "im not sure how i will do the back"
"This is a box. It's my laser box. I like my laser box"
i’ve been waiting my whole life for this video.
I know what to make in the back section: a drone launcher! Maybe a nuke-drone Launcher!
Congrats on 200k!
Put a stupidly large rail gun at the back kind capping over the back or extended the back slightly so it's not that laser heavy. So then it's laser heavy and rail gun heavy 👍 or put a stupidly large missile battery...

Ah, so THIS is the Bismarck people are all talking about
What sort of engine did you use for this ship? I have trouble getting that kind of power into one craft
200k congratulations
you need to spread out the point defense because the lasers work best when some thing is coming straight at it.
heh heh, well done with the start.
