In which I talk about Warlock in general, set up the game and create my character. Riveting stuff, really. Also, a first introduction to serial commenters Vipermagi and Sumanai, who assisted me with mockery and advice in equal measure throughout the series.
Episode 1: Of Mice And Goblins
A first look at the core game mechanics, and the first indication of my yet-undiagnosed Screenshotitis. Or should that be Screenshotophilia?
Episode 2: Veni, Vidi, Vampiri
My first encounter with another player. Also, a random surprise at a random point starts a thread that takes me through the entire game. See if you can spot it.
Episode 3: A Tale Of Two Cities
Diplomacy, religion, warfare. Really, this episode has it all.
Episode 4: The Siege Of Inver-On-Linn
Yes, this episode is just a massive siege. Because this is my Let’s Play and I can do whatever the hell I want, that’s why.
Episode 5: Calling All Goblins
Both the sea and the other planes proves themselves unknowable, unassailable and — frankly — undesirable. Let’s just stick to land for now.
WAR, huh, yeah! What is it good for? This episode, for one.
And like that, it’s over again. ‘Peace through superior firepower’ is really an adage for the ages.
Of course, there not being a war in a game called Warlock is the exception, not the rule. Which one of you had ‘one whole episode’ in the Peace Pool?
Not a whole lot happens in this episode, to be honest. Well, except for magic teleporting soldiers. But beyond that…
Episode 10: Conquest Avalanche
Sometimes, you slug through warfare with nary a victory to your name. Other times, you blitz over an entire empire in a single episode. Guess which type of episode we’re having today?
Episode 11: Winter Is Not Coming
Two enemies down, and I got my court-mandated Game of Thrones reference out of the way. What should I do next?
Episode 12: Beyond The Dark Portal
You know what they say: when life gives you lemons, travel through a magical portal to a different plane of existence and take its riches for yourself.
Episode 13: Conquest Of The New World
Alright, so maybe this whole ‘take over a part of the universe’ plan is going to take a little while. Nobody told me that here there be dragons!
In which I go maybe a little too far in my plan to safeguard goblin-kind. Also, another war… but it’s not really all that interesting.
Episode 15: The South Shall Rise
I’ll be fair: I initially wanted to call this episode ‘song of the South’, but I was concerned about the source material’s rather blatant racism. Hence, compromise.
Really, now: what you do suppose happens in an episode titled ‘D-Day’? (answers before 08-11-2012 to Blue Screen of Awesome)
Episode 17: These Victories Three
And with that, I win. But how?
