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

After the awarding ceremony of the King's Medal, King Magni publicly promulgated a series of policies, including declaring Ironforge and Uldaman to be friendly cities, increasing assistance, investment and trade with the Oddar tribe, and strengthening technological exchanges and personnel exchanges.

These policies are of great benefit to Uldaman because it is located near the border of the Badlands and Loch Modan. Increasing trade will allow better development of resources in these two places.

All aspects of Loch Modan's conditions are much better than those of the Badlands! Loch Modan has the world's largest freshwater lake, with beautiful water and fat fish, many schools of blackmouth fish, many Loch crocodiles, many Loch Lake Madfish, and many plesiosaurs. The surrounding mountains have abundant timber and precious metal deposits.

At present, Uldaman is only a dozen kilometers away from Loch Modan. The distance from Ironforge to Loch Modan is at least several hundred kilometers. From this perspective, Uldaman has the potential to become a large city.

These policies of Magni can be regarded as a real gift to Malcolm.

While Malcolm was stealing the show in Ironforge, Varian was lying in bed, controlling the construction of the Thunder Bluff sub-base with his mind.

The fifth-level military camp building, the Witherwood Arch, was built yesterday, and three Witherwood Guards have been summoned.

These dead wood guards are actually tree spirits, a large piece of human-shaped wood. They walk very slowly but have strong defense capabilities.

How slow is the speed? In previous Heroes of Might and Magic games, as long as you bring these Witherwood Guards with you, the marching speed will be reduced. Some players are unwilling to bring them with them when they go out, and just keep them to guard the city.

But the Witherwood Guard has a powerful special skill called "Entanglement".

This skill allows the Witherwood Guards to extend several tree roots from the ground to entangle the enemy when attacking. Once the enemy soldiers are hit, they can only stand still and fight the Witherwood Guards head-on throughout the battle unless the Witherwood Warriors move actively or are completely annihilated.

Varian tried several types of soldiers. No matter if they were Pegasus, griffins, or knights, once they were entangled by the Witherwood Guards, none of them could escape and could only fight with the Witherwood Guards on the spot.

In fact, the entanglement skill is very powerful. Not to mention these ordinary soldiers, even a dragon can be entangled with tree roots and unable to move.

Entangling ordinary soldiers cannot demonstrate the power of the Witherwood Guards. If the giant dragon can be entangled on the battlefield, the advantage will be demonstrated.

This doesn't mean that the Witherwood Guard can fight against the dragon, but it is difficult to hit the dragon if it is flying in the sky.

However, as long as they are entangled by the Witherwood Guards when they land, even for a few seconds or ten seconds, it is enough for various long-range troops to concentrate firepower. A large number of bows and magic can launch intensive attacks, and even crossbows can be used. Even the dragon cannot withstand it.

Of course, there are only three Witherwood Guards now, and they are not very useful. We need to gather more of them in the future to form a team to form combat effectiveness.

After seeing the Witherbark Guard, Varian is going to build the sixth-level military camp building of the Bulwark race, the Forest Sanctuary today.

So Varian began to look up information about the forest sanctuary.

systems mannual:

The Glade Sanctuary allows you to recruit Unicorns.

The prerequisites for constructing this building have been met.

Price: 4000 gold coins, 5 units of wood, 5 units of stone, 10 units of gems.

The unicorn is truly a legendary beast. Its buildings actually consume ten units of gems.

After Varian silently recited the word "build" in his mind, a flash of light appeared, and a small forest appeared on the Thunder Bluff military high ground, next to the dead wood archway. It was lush and green. At the entrance of the forest, there were two round stone sculptures more than two meters high.

When I looked inside with my mind, I saw two unicorns, and the price of each unicorn was 850 gold coins.

After Varian decided to recruit, two unicorns instantly appeared at the entrance of the forest sanctuary.

Looking closely at the unicorn, it looks a bit like a white horse. Its entire body is white, so pure that there is almost no trace of other colors. It is slightly larger than an ordinary horse. The difference is that the unicorn has a pointed horn on its head.

As a mythical beast, the unicorn has surpassed the level of ordinary soldiers and has two special skills.

The first is its anti-magic aura.

During the battle, the Unicorn will release an aura that covers the surrounding allies. As long as the allies stand next to it, they have a 20% chance to resist the magic attacks of the enemy heroes.

What's even more amazing is that the effect of this aura can be stacked. If you place unicorns in five grids around a team of allies, the team can enjoy a magic resistance effect of up to 67%.

So in the Heroes of Might and Magic game, some players will place unicorns next to key troops to resist the magic attacks of the opponent's heroes.

It’s a pity that unicorns can’t fly, otherwise Varian would ride on a unicorn every day.

The second skill is blindness! In addition to the magic resistance aura, the unicorn also has a skill, which is blindness. In battle, as long as the enemy troops are poked by the unicorn's horn, there is a 20% chance that they will be blinded, making them unable to move or attack.

Although the skill of blindness is not as good as the Eye of Death of the Fortress race's Barbarian Bull, which can kill the enemy with one glance, the probability of blindness is 20%, while the probability of triggering the Eye of Death is only 10%. The Unicorn still has its advantages.

Of course, whether it is the Barbarian Bull's Eye of Death or the Unicorn's Blindness, the probability of triggering is also related to their number.

If it is upgraded to a unicorn, the horn on its head will become larger, and the color will change from silver-white to gold. Its health and speed will be greatly improved, which is very powerful.

The unicorns recruited by the Bastion race base look quite different from the unicorns in Azeroth, mainly in the shape of their horns.

In version 7.0 Legion, unicorn mounts have begun to appear.

In the 8.0 Battle for Azeroth version, a population of unicorns appeared in the Broken Isles.

In version 9.0 of Shadowlands, when players go to the Shadow Realm, unicorns can be seen everywhere. In this version, unicorns can even fly and become flying mounts.

However, the unicorns in Azeroth exist more as mounts, and their combat effectiveness is far less than that of the unicorns recruited by the Heroes of Might and Magic system, not to mention special skills such as anti-magic aura and blindness.

The sixth-level military camp has been built! Tomorrow we can build the highest-level seventh-level military camp, Longya!

This means that we can recruit a green dragon tomorrow!
