Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

After all, Thunder Bluff will be built into a large city in the future.

This was the first outpost Varian built on Kalimdor, and in the long run, Thunder Bluff was one of the main outposts.

At least the scenery, environment, and food here make living here more comfortable than other places in Kalimdor.

Therefore, it is crucial to have enough water to support a large city.

Varian remembered that there was a cave in the stone mountain in the northwest, which was called Soul Plateau in the game. There were many pools in the cave, which were called Pools of Foresight.

So he rode his griffin to the northwest stone mountain, and sure enough, he saw a slope leading to the interior of the stone mountain. When he went in, it was like entering a hot spring cave, with dozens of steaming hot spring pools.

Varian scooped up the water and took a sip. It was sweet and refreshing, and tasted even better than the water from Stone Ox Lake. Could it be because it was spring water?

The water capacity of the cave is so large that it can easily supply an entire city. No wonder Thunder Bluff can be used as the main city of the Tauren.

There is no problem with water resources, and the last concern has been resolved.

After the construction of the Office of the Interior, Thunder Bluff is also defaulted as a friendly town by the system, and you can use the time and space gate magic to travel back and forth.

However, there is only the Office of the Interior now, and nothing can be done for the time being. There is not even a restaurant. There is no point in staying here now. Varian decided to wait until the town is almost built before coming back.

So Varian used the magic of the time and space gate and returned to Dagger Ridge Fortress.

After thinking for a while in the castle, I figured out the development path for Thunder Bluff.

In terms of military, of course, the main force is soldiers recruited by the system, the barrier races of the bases, and some soldiers I will bring from Dagger Ridge.

For other development and construction, we will need to recruit personnel from Storm Kingdom.

The development of Thunder Bluff requires a large number of lumberjacks as construction materials. Since it is impossible for all residents to live in system buildings, many of them need to rebuild their houses.

Thunder Bluff needs to build a restaurant in the castle and also needs a lot of chefs.

To get food, we need many hunters to catch the beasts in Thunder Bluff, fishermen to fish in Stone Ox Lake, and in the later stage, we need to breed Chocobos and Kodos.

Thunder Bluff is a prairie, very suitable for herbivores. In addition to the local kodo beasts, you can introduce some dairy cows and rabbits from Stormwind Kingdom, and you can also go to Ironforge to introduce some goats.

There are several mines around Mulgore, and if they are to be developed, a large number of miners will be needed.

He immediately called for Gryan Stoutmantle.

After a while, Gryan Stoutmantle came in and said, "Your Highness, I'm here."

Varian motioned him to sit down and said, "I am going to Kalimdor to develop a fortress. You go to Moonbrook and Goldshire to recruit some residents."

Gryan Stoutmantle asked, "What professions are needed?"

Varian said, "We need some, including cooks, miners, construction workers, hunters, and livestock workers. The first phase will probably have about a thousand people. If the residents sign up enthusiastically, we can recruit more. Oh, and call the Yuexi Town Engineering Team to build two elevators."

"Okay, I'll start recruiting right away, and it's expected to be completed within five days." said Gryan Stoutmantle.

Varian nodded and said, "There's no need to rush. We can just gather outside the castle in ten days."

"Okay, Your Highness!" Gryan Stoutmantle bowed and took his leave.

Ten days is enough time to build the parliament and the castle in each base, and then the new residents can move directly into the castle.

After some residential dormitories are built, we will start recruiting residents in large numbers.

The next day, when Varian was about to build a fortress for the Thunder Bluff branch base, he suddenly discovered that he could build a tavern!

The tavern in the Heroes of Might and Magic system is mainly used to recruit heroes. There will often be some heroes with good strength appearing in the tavern. It only costs a few thousand gold coins to recruit heroes.

So he quickly checked the information about the tavern.

systems mannual:

Taverns can improve the morale of the garrison. They also allow the recruitment of heroes at a price of 2500 gold coins per hero. Depending on the number of taverns, you can also view a corresponding amount of information about other players.

The prerequisites for constructing this building have been met.

Price: 500 gold coins, 5 units of wood.

After thinking about it, Varian decided to build the tavern first, and postpone the construction of buildings such as the fortress. After Varian silently chanted "build", he saw a flash of light in the empty space in front of him, and a building instantly appeared in front of him.

This tavern looks a bit like the Lion's Pride Inn in Goldshire, but it is made entirely of wood, and its roof is more pointed, a bit like a Southeast Asian style building.

Varian's mind, he entered the hotel with great anticipation, silently chanting in his mind, "Gru, Gru, a Gru hero."

This Gru is the most outstanding hero among the heroes of the Fortress race. He can train archers, sharpshooters, wood elves, etc. into phantom shooters.

The Phantom Shooter is very powerful. His long-range attacks are not affected by distance and obstacles. As long as they are within his shooting range, the lethality will not be reduced.

It can be said that Gru is the first choice of every Barrier Race player, but in fact, there are very few maps where Gru can be chosen as the appearing hero, and many players have only seen him in campaigns.

Unfortunately, Varian met not Gru in the tavern, but two other heroes.

One is the dwarf hero, Malcolm.

The other is a male elven hero, Ivo.

Varian began to recall the characteristics of the two heroes.

In Heroes of Might and Magic, Malcolm is the first magician in the history of the dwarves, and is good at Eagle Vision; Ivo is an elf patrolman, or a ranger, and his specialty is improving the attack and defense of wood elf archers.

From the game's perspective, Ivo is stronger than Malcolm.

However, given Varian's good relationship with the dwarven race, the fact that he was a magician, and the great role that the magic guild played for heroes, Varian decided to recruit Malcolm.

After silently saying "recruit" with his mental power, a dwarf hero wearing a green robe and a full beard appeared outside the tavern.

Also appearing are 19 centaurs holding javelins and 5 dwarves holding wooden hammers.

When you recruit a hero in the system's tavern, there will be some soldiers attached, which is a pleasant surprise.

There are even some heroes in the game that carry soldiers whose value exceeds the 2500 gold coins required to recruit the hero.
