Middle one it is. I got 3 other heroes and 3 shadow lords in the stack. Huh, that probably means there are lots of independents.
Update coming as soon as the pictures are done uploading.
Fun Fact time!Shadow Lords are the most powerful Shadow Demon unit! Mostly they're just big tough bruisers, but they do have the ability to teleport between the shadow world and the normal world.
EDIT: Photobucket's stupid bulk uploader just gave me a error for half of the images it uploaded when it was saving them, stupid photobucket.
EDIT2: Finally
Update 2: In which the hive gains a settlement and defeats vile foes!
Trusting their fortunes in the hands of the Luck, the All-Devourer and his entourage entered the centre teleporter. After the disorientating flash upwards into nothingness and then a even more disorientating downwards materialization, they arrived in a icy cavern filled with treasures, and more importantly, a settlement of Shadow Demons.
Immediately, before they could react or defend themselves, one of the Shadow Lords was sent to negotiate with the rogue settlement.
Cowering before his great might they immediately acquiesced to accept the All-Devourer as their absolute ruler. And so the hive grows. The new additions to the hive were then sent out to collect the treasures surrounding the Hive's new city.
Construction resources were found, allowing the rapid construction of additional structures within our city.
Soon all the treasure was collected, much gold and mana crystals were added to the Hive's coffers and research had been advanced by catalysts.
However, while the glorious army of the swarm was on it's way to capture a nearby watchtower, they were ambushed by a couple of foul yetis who had been hiding in the snow and ice for just such a opportunity.
Battle ensued, with the outnumbered yetis suddenly seeming uncertain about their chances of victory, or even survival.
Before they could have a chance to run however, the All-Devourer called down the fury of the stars on them, wounding them and leaving the confused and dazzled. The illustrious hero Xabu then sent forth a deadly ray of death to bring them nearer to the state of death, whereafter the shadowlords started closing in to engage in hand to hand combat.
The yetis, seeing that fleeing would be useless, decided to move forward and attempt to take on the shadowlords. One shadowlord easily defeated a already weakened yeti, while the great Hero of the Hive Xulax finished off the remaining yeti with his fiery breath.
The force then continued on to capture the watchtower and secure the Hives hold on this area, while also providing that ever critical element of reconnaissance s that the Hive can learn more of its surroundings.
Continuing their scouting the army then discovered another great treasure, a magic vault! The ancients used to store their most valuable and powerful spells in these vaults, to protect them from unworthy hands. Who knows what treasures could be hidden inside?!
It was decided to find out, but the group was then faced by the guardians of the vault, a pair of Shadow Spirits. While these spirits were indeed powerful and a foe to be feared, they had one very important weakness. A weakness to the holy, in other words, a weakness to the FURY OF THE STARS! And so another foe fell before the relentless might of the neverending swarm.
Inside was discovered a spell that can call forth mighty blizzards, while not quite what we had hoped, it will certainly be very useful.
WTF Moment time!When looking through my spellbook I noticed that I have the earth awareness spell, a powerful earth magic spell that reveals all cities on the map not protected from such detection by some means.
