I prefer watching the gameplay and really enjoying your interaction only by voice though. Would you do a world domination series with challenge or else?

[@user-ub8oy8im7c]

I like it with the face cam. Makes it more personal but also it’s great to see your reactions during certain events. For example when Ikkit claw nuked you in your Elspeth campaign, I would love to of seen your face!😂

[@Oneriodream]

Remember Thorek buffs quarrelers ridiculously, so you should get a bunch of them in his army

[@michaelfriede7693]

He also buffs grudge throwers, gives them seeking missiles, which is huge

[@johnelee93]

Gotta say the face cam did add some value especially after you started doing the little well timed zooms for certain reactions/jokes was always a good laugh

Ironside Saga #23
The forces of evil clash beneath the surface. Around them, filth covers the ground and creates putrid pools. It is a place not fit for life, and there is little that makes this place worth coming to. However, that is enough for one side of this clash to stand and defend, and for the other to come to this putrid place and try to take what they desire.
Before his sisters set out, Morgris asked Aragris one final question, "Are you sure that you don't have any questions at this time? You may find yourself facing off against more than just Nurgle." As the aggressor in this battle begins launching magma and explosive spheres of ground shaking doom, the ground behind them vibrates. Yet many of their number do not notice this, and those who do attribute it to the shaking of their war machine's engines.
"I am sure that I've asked every question that I can think of, and I've studied as many strategies and battle setups as I can," Aragris replied. "I am as ready as I can be for this." As a swarm of flying plague bringers advances ahead of the approaching pestilence-ridden soldiers and monsters, the front line of the aggressor army readies their fiery ammunition. "I know what you are thinking about, that I'll get caught up in seeking revenge for our mother. To tell you the truth, I thought about that myself. However, I have no intention of seeking revenge. My force has the power to claim the last relic we need to get our hands on to stop Azdrog. It is risky to take this weapon into such a battle as its first taste of combat, but it could save lives as a result, and I know that is what mother would want."
"Okay," Morgris told his sister. "Still, I'm worried because you'll be facing at least one army assuming that Azdrog's forces haven't shown up." As the guns of the aggressor army begin filling the air bullets aimed at their flying foes, the pools of filth begin churning as something stirs beneath the surface. Behind them, a noise echoes out from the tunnels which lead them into this disgusting place, and the vibrations get stronger.
"I respect your fear Morgris, but if there is one thing that I know it is this," Aragris stated as she climbed into her seat. "Don't mess with girls und ihr panzers." As fiery monsters face off against the beasts that come from the pools of filth, the fiery munitions of the aggressor fill the air with putrid smoke as their enemy's numbers drop. All seems to be going well, until the source of the noise and vibration emerges, and introduces itself to the two original sides in this battle with a solid magical projectile fired right into the heart of one of their war machines! Several more shots follow, a thunderous roar following each one as they scream towards their targets and strike with fatal force. Lifting the hatch, Aragris rises from the top of her war machine as her forces roll onto the battlefield, Aragris surveys the situation. Her sister emerges from her own war machine that pulls up alongside Aragris'. Aragris turns to her sister with a smile, "I think that we've made a good introduction sis. It also looks like we made it just in time to join the fun. The forces of Nurgle that hold our relic have taken some of our dark cousin's blows for us, and kept them sufficiently distracted that we were able to roll up with these new steam wagons and blast the magma cannons and dreadquake mortars at the start."
"It is a good start, now we just have to carve our way through both of these armies," Utrid states. "We have our cousins trapped between us Nurgle's demons, let's make sure to take advantage of this." The two sisters drop back down into the turrets of their war machines, and close their hatches. Though Aragris' force consists of only twenty of her steam wagons, their size is not to be underestimated. With their enemy's artillery neutralized, Aragris directs several of her steam wagons to engage the k'daai fireborn and plague toads ahead and to the left of her forces. With nothing to stand in their way, four steam wagons open fire on these monsters, sending magical cannon balls across the field of battle. They make short work of their targets, cutting the k'daai fireborn in two while splattering the plague toads. The remaining sixteen begin creating holes in the ranks of the dawi-zharr's main line. Their front mounted cannons, equal to those used in artillery units, are but a taste of the power available to Aragris and her war machine crews. Using the distraction provided by Aragris' surprise appearance, the plague drones and rot flies get a chance to inflict some damage against the infernal guards equipped with fireglaives. This also allows the ground forces of Nurgle to approach their enemy without taking heavy amounts of damage.
Though the rot flies and plague drones are dealt with, they stall for just enough time that the infernal guard doesn't get the chance to inflict crucial damage against the infantry and monsters of Nurgle before the melee begins. When the two original combatants clash in melee, Aragris sees her chance to make her move. While her enemy is distracted, she orders her war machines to advance and fire. The special steam wagons move forward, and utilize what Aragris learned from studying the chaos dwarfs' war machines. Her force activates a temporary boost in power output from their engines, allowing them to move quicker and hit their enemies harder if they charge into melee. However, that is not the plan. The steam wagons stop within the range of the fireglaives, and now they unleash their primary defense against infantry!
With her right hands, Aragris rotates a crankshaft, and the barrels of her rotary gun begin spinning as bullets fly down range. With a fine view of the over one hundred enemy soldiers in front of her, she doesn't stop pushing on the crankshaft and rakes the backs of the chaos dwarfs with armor piercing bullets! The noise of twenty rotary guns firing is deafening, and their suppressing fire turns the small gaps created by the cannons into spots of pure carnage and death! It only stops when the gunners have to reload their weapons, but Utrid's spells simply take over and ensure that the enemies of the dawi continue to perish by dawi hands. The sorcerer-prophet leading the chorf army stands in defiance to the wave of danger, summoning doom upon all of the foes around him, and even striking down a number of plague bearers with his own weapons. Yet he too eventually meets his fate at the hands of a magical shot fired from a steam wagon's cannon. The exalted great unclean one casts every spell it has as the guns of Aragris' war machines turn to face his army. It does everything it can to get its soldiers heading towards the steam wagons in order to engage them in melee where they may have a chance.
Nevertheless, this effort is not enough and the cannons of the steam wagons soon tear down this exalted great unclean one while the rotary guns finish off the rotten infantry of Nurgle. When she stops pushing on the crankshaft of her rotary gun, Aragris climbs up and raises the hatch of her turret to look around at the devastation that remains.
"Well, I think that this proves the capability of my creation," Aragris comments aloud as she looks towards where the exalted great unclean one stood. "The Golden Bands of Grimnir are supposed to be here with that exalted great unclean one, hopefully they weren't damaged or worse destroyed in the fighting." Aragris stops as her sister climbs up and opens the hatch of her turret, "Our brother's will be happy to hear this no matter if we find the relic or not. Though, we shouldn't take this victory lightly, we had the drop on our enemy, and we had a good line of fire to their artillery."
"I agree, I don't want to know what artillery could do to one of these war machines," Utrid remarks. "Let's get that relic and get out of here before we all get sick. By the way sis, have you thought of a name for these machines. Though they are meant to be more compact steam wagons, I think that they need a name of their own." Aragris looks down at the hull of her war machine, and thinks. She hadn't thought of naming these machines, not out of necessity as she figured that it was still right to call them steam wagons. Aside from having a lower height and a rotary gun, these armored machines were steam wagons at heart.
She looks back up at Utrid, "I have an idea. I'm not sure if it is what I will stick with, but I think that I'll call these machines iron thunderers." The two sisters have their machines drive them up to the spot where the exalted great unclean one was, and then climb out to inspect the area. There is a feeling between them that in all the fighting, they destroyed the relic. Initially, their search doesn't turn up anything of value, let alone such priceless bands. Then, as they carefully search the area and the bodies within it, they spot something glinting at them. With great care, the two sisters approach to inspect this find, and they breathe a sigh of relief at the sight of the Golden Band of Grimnir. Despite the fighting, they have survived, and now, they are leaving this place in the hands of the two sisters.

Hey everyone, sorry I'm getting to these about a day after the episode goes live instead of the day of like I normally do. I'm incredibly busy right now, so I'm doing the best I can. I'm also coming up with much of this as I go instead of like Shadows of Silence where I had a year to prep and brainstorm.

[@vincerainelli603]

Malakai should rename Mount Gunbad to Mount Gungood.

[@peterhe6699]

I suggest taking a settlement in the chaos wastes to stop the attrition and abandon it next turn or let it fall to farm for more grudges.

[@DaHoff]

Action packed, can't Wait for next video.

[@inductivegrunt94]

Skaven on a chokepoint map with plenty of ranged units. Yup, that is always gonna be a fun battle to watch unfold.

[@esaupichilingue9604]

The valiant dwarf are avenging many grudges. Khazukan Khazakit-Ha!

[@x0Tassadar0x]

You are doing the Dawi bad by not showing off the glorious beard.

[@dregosor]

i do like this new format with no face cam but i do miss it especialy when you intrect with chat its nice to see your physical reaction aswell as this always has been more then just pure game play.
the youtube only series makes sense since im guessing its easier to record not having to deal with chat and powdering your nose for us :P.
so i cast my vote on having the face cam back as you are our tall dwarf faced friend.

[@darthcheese7971]

I liked the face cam.

[@IvanDogovich]

Regarding FaceCam vs No FaceCam on the YT vids... I like it better without, personally. Keep up the great work!

[@tolroth492]

As I understand it, there is a Dwarven Underway with portals on the minimap. Are they not useful, or do you need to unlock them perhaps?

[@oldoneeye7516]

you need to finish certain grudges to use them. Which makes them less practical because they are not frontline any more. As far as I am aware, LH has not finished any of these grudges, yet.

[@Daniel_H_Rich]

Lionheart just screwed himself. He is not winning that battle. No chance

[@NurkePL]

Have you seen that thing going round where they explore if having a baby is more painful than being kicked in the balls? Concluding that being kicked in the balls is more painful as you often hear a woman say 'you know what? I think we should have another baby' whereas you NEVER hear a guy say 'You know what? I'd like another kick in the balls'

[@Harkzoan]

I've been watching an older series that did include face-cam, and it is a little distracting (not to mention there's so much on screen that you want to be able to see, having anything covered up makes for a slightly worse experience for me personally).

[@niklasahrenst7485]

Bring back facecam ✌🏼

[@karabradley6576]

i miss the facecam on youtube, i can’t catch streams and i miss your beautiful beard :D

[@horrorskop]

Bring back the facecam plz

[@Naarke]

first

[@duduhilx6497]

Bring back face cam

[@user-oj5hp4jv4p]

Not a huge fan of face cam. Nothing against your beardly dome, but there seems to be no spot on the screen where cam would not cover anything at some point during gameplay. Plus there's always the twitch stream.
That looked funny how Muga sent your ancestral hero flying.
You could wait a turn to let the siege attrition set in on Howling Rock, so the AR might leave you without any losses. Then go for the (probably) inevitable fight at Varenka Hills.
