Anon is back

As for Merlin’s Umbral Humans, they ARE changed… but only in the sense that they have been corrupted, and start with Umbral Flesh.

I'd say they're a little more than just corrupted. They may or may not have more intelligence than some of Nekron's undead, but they're described as basically just Merlin's tools either by choice or fact. They're not personally bent on destruction, it's just Merlin's goal, and they do what he wants. Those that aren't aligned by choice are more or less the equivalent of unintelligent zombies, or the shadow demon insects.

They have changed quite a bit of the lore....
Don't you have that archon guardian that's an orc ? He's the big villain in a mission.

What really scares me isn't just her armor. If you read merlin lore he saved julia who was kidnapped. She has scars and a golden arm who might suggest she was tortured by the naughty insects.
Really hope that's not her. I kinda dislike this let's turn all the cool characters into broken and insane characters....They did the same with the Edward who become enraged and insane, merlin a squid, heck even the girl that I always forget her name that's the cover girl on this game L something is now a bug and I really liked her human model.

Really hope they keep at least Julia away from this broken stuff. She's the face of the francize for crying out loud...


edit : lythil is her name, for some reason i always forget it.

Lithyl might always have been urraths agent. So it probably was just a matter of time. Also that was her first appearance outside the intro video. Its not really someone we could have gotten attached to.

Edward is not broken. He was made unreasonably angry by chaos endailon. We removed that from him.

Turiel isnt an archon. He is the first godir. And his orcs are described as the closest thing to archons an orc can be.

But why are we putting equal between elysian and archon ? Was this confirmed ?

I don't know where you're reading this. I would have assumed the Elysians are from the Architect culture, as another group related to the archons the same way the Elves or Dragons are, i.e. as another independent group semi-subordinate to them with varying levels of compliance.

Last dev blog said "Elysians are the revamped Highmen".

 

[Blanch Warren]

Then yes, they're basically the archetypal archon race, even if they aren't all the literal archons, a term introduced in AOW2.

I hope we get Annon robe, finally a wizard robe that's not in tatters.

My vote would have to be Julia and Mab

Julia will definitely appear in the DLC. A place has already been reserved for her in the Rupsta model file.

what's Rupsta?

what's Rupsta?

Rupsta the Boss. Character from Shadow Magic

Rupsta is the boss of a Goblin crime syndicate known as the Tri-Umphs. Named for the three "Umph" sounds that came out of the goblin boss that used to run the syndicate (then known as the Bi-thuds!) made when Rupsta threw him off a cliff. He's very attractive, intelligent, a perfect specimen of health, and is the greatest warrior that ever lived-at least that's what his goblin followers tell him. As boss, besides running the great crime syndicate, it is Rupsta's sworn duty to smoke. In fact, he's quite expert at it, smoking any object that will take flame. He has spent so much time smoking, that he is surrounded in toxic fumes. He has hideous breath which can kill, and has set himself on fire so many times that he scarcely notices when his enemies do the same. Even so, the Tri-Umphs are tirelessly searching the land for the next novel thing that Rupsta can smoke, at least until they become the "Quad-Arrghs."

Will be added to AoW4 in the Griffon update.
