Anubis169: oh nicely done Manae
PharaohBender27: @Anubis169 I think I actually sniped Manae on that one
Anubis169:
ahh if it was you PharaohBender27 then congratulations 
Anubis169:
you all came through on the same 1/10th of a second on my screen 
Metric_Furlong: @TheMerricat how OG are we talking, like M&M 1? or are we opening things up to Xeen?
PharaohBender27: Either that or both of us both through simultaneously
ArtDecoSunburn: @TheMerricat Everyone rightly deserves a bugaboo, TheMerricat. Relish your preferences.
TheMerricat: @Metric_Furlong IIRC (and man that was long ago so I don't claim that I'm right) Xeen was part of that world.

Metric_Furlong: @TheMerricat it might well have been, to be fair. there was a bunch of world-hopping going on in the NWC days setting
TheMerricat: @Metric_Furlong So looking it up, until Ubisoft took over all the games were in a mostly shared universe. Ubisoft nuked all that and started over with their own.
Juliamon: oops, that url in the livetoot has an extra leading .
Juliamon: dot twitch dot tv
Metric_Furlong: @TheMerricat ah cool, I wasn't misremembering then
KeytarCat: aaaa, perfect timing!
TheMerricat: @TheMerricat And WOW. TIL today's game is ACTUALLY set in the old universe vs Ubisofts! Neat!

DaxStrife: Its like some people forget Covid happened.
TheMerricat:
And what if you try to and they get mad and TOUCH you with their untouched hands? 
TheMerricat: unwashed even
Juliamon: DaxStrife Even BEFORE that, like, germs existed
Metric_Furlong: fun fact: both the fan expansion for HoMM3 (horn of the abyss) and the open source engine remake of HoMM3 (VCMI) both have online multiplayer lobby functionality. which is impressive considering that the original game didn't
goatprince: my hands have been embracing my HUSBAND
WiJohn: I value my friend's various oozes
SnackPak_:
TheMerricat: @Juliamon And even if COVID magiclly created germs, there's all sort of OTHER shit that could be on your hands, like shit!
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong Nifty. I still miss the format of HoMM2.
Metric_Furlong: (original HoMM3 is currently on sale on on GOG, if you want something that's like Olden Era but older)
TheMerricat:
@Metric_Furlong oh, now I've got a new open source game to look up.
ArtDecoSunburn: @WiJohn Very Nurgle of you. Or Louis Pasteur.
SnackPak_: is it Nelly's first time?
AugmentingPath: Do we have hexagons? It's very important to my emotional wellbeing that we have hexagons
Metric_Furlong: @ArtDecoSunburn yeah, it's a fun one. Unfortunately the open source engine remake of HoMM 2 (FHeroes2) doesn't have lobby functionality afaik
PharaohBender27:
@AugmentingPath 
tanshala: watched a video AND did the turtorial? basically a master now
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong A pity. Still, kudos to the community.

PharaohBender27: @DaxStrife Yep
ArtDecoSunburn: @DaxStrife And he didn't wash his hands either, much less trying to blow up Parliament.
tanshala: it takes a moment especally if you are generating the map
raulghoulia: alternatively none of your computers can make toast
adept_nekomancer: It's merely trying to replicate that authentic 1998 loading time experience.
ArtDecoSunburn: @goatprince Nicely put.
Metric_Furlong: it *does* have 'magic' in the name, yes
ArtDecoSunburn: @adept_nekomancer Got to have the MIDI theme.
ArtDecoSunburn: @raulghoulia (Start up in Silicon Valley furiously raises capital to toast bread with AI)
MacbethSeemsSus: Local App Data? This wasn't supposed to be a horror stream
Metric_Furlong: @ArtDecoSunburn shh! don't give them ideas!
Masslost: wait i know who james talked to about might and magic.. it was serge
SymphonySolstice: map is me? :0
ArtDecoSunburn: @MacbethSeemsSus Well, it is gaming from "The Olden Era."
Metric_Furlong: @Masslost Nelson = Serge, confirmed
Masslost: @Metric_Furlong in james eyes yes

ArtDecoSunburn: @gualdhar Mayor LaoTze?

calculated_uncertainties:
100 100
Metric_Furlong: @PharaohBender27 I think I actually watched one (1) episode of it back in the day. It was a show that existed (also the skeleton warriors? not actually the protagonists)
Pal_Friendpatine: Skeleton warriors for me is Jason and the Argonauts
ArtDecoSunburn: A pity this iteration doesn't seem to have the crazy necromancy bonus for raising skeletons from battles.
AugmentingPath: I wonder if it's still true that "The undead are unaffected by morale." I may have imprinted on that line from HoMM3's campaign at a young age
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong They had motorcycles, right?
Diabore: Is this more civ (everyone takes a turn at once) or warcraft?
AugmentingPath: @Diabore More on the civ end
Thefluffiestguineapig: A single shared sweatband? Is it at least washed?
Metric_Furlong: @ArtDecoSunburn flying jetbikes, yeah
ArtDecoSunburn: @PharaohBender27 That would explain a lot about anatomy classrooms at medical schools I have seen.
Metric_Furlong: brb, creating a Mod that replaces the 'new day' notification with entire 9+ minute prog metal song 'New Day' by Karnivool, thereby rendering the game completely unplayable
ArtDecoSunburn: @Thefluffiestguineapig That would make great, if smelly, shared lore for a 1980s karate dojo series.
AugmentingPath: Probably can't upgrade them here because you don't have the building in this town
e_bloc: @Metric_Furlong on a different tack, it's a new day, yes it is
EbDorian: I missed the start of stream, are we on a shared map?
Diabore: @Metric_Furlong My mind went a different direction and i want it to be big e saying "its a new day yes it is" every time, full walk out song optional
Metric_Furlong: @Diabore brb, creating a mod that plays both at the same time, thereby making both unplayable *and* unlistenable
ArtDecoSunburn: So fortifications are this version's well for population growth?
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong "It's a specialized mod, but surprisingly well-downloaded."
KaleidoscopeMind: *gasp* necromancy?
Metric_Furlong: the necromancers do necromancy?!
e_bloc: you call it necromancy, we call it elder care
PharaohBender27:
MacbethSeemsSus: Locally sourced necrojuice
Metric_Furlong: ah, we've got the HoMM5 system going again
ArtDecoSunburn: Necromancy was great, and completely broken in HoMM2.
Metric_Furlong: @ArtDecoSunburn also broken in 3
e_bloc: also broken with worldgorger dragon
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong I enjoyed fielding ever-growing skeleton counts that threatened to warp the space time continuum with their numbers.
Metric_Furlong: less so 4, iirc. then 5 decided to do the whole 'points' system and it never got to be amusingly broken again
Strebenherz: Not hearing music, if that was unintentional
PharaohBender27: I hear music now
Strebenherz: or no it's there, but quiet
Metric_Furlong: @ArtDecoSunburn yeah, like if you managed to get any ghosts and then fought a bunch of peasants
e_bloc: slam through your turn with dragula
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong The poor peasants.
goatprince: no..... not the griffon
Metric_Furlong: RIP James' Griffin 2026-2026
SquareDotCube: Merv, no!
randombillfolds: Oh, no ore.
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong (Sings) "In the arms of an eagle-lion angel . . ."
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn just doesnt have the same ring to it
ArtDecoSunburn: @randombillfolds I wonder if it will lead to a smash novelty song like the 1930s tune "Yes, we have no bananas!"
Metric_Furlong: hate being ore poor
Metric_Furlong: makes me feel sore
e_bloc: having ore isnt everything, not having it is
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc I'll keep noodling on it. I assume James will lose many more griffins.

Dog_of_Myth:
ArtDecoSunburn: Have you gone over for Nelson how spellbooks work yet?
Mai_Andra: Didn't that particular mine turn out to be a tomb?
Dog_of_Myth:
@Mai_Andra For a necromance, that is a mine. 
Dog_of_Myth: *necromancer
ArtDecoSunburn: @Dog_of_Myth Necromance is such a bone-tingling genre.
Mai_Andra: An incredible reward of 5,000 [evils].
PharaohBender27:
"Accept result"? Can you just go, " 
I shouldn't have lost, dammit!"
CypherRaze: BENNNNNN HELP ADAM
goatprince: ben's a helper
gualdhar: in Jamestown they drank the coolaid
Metric_Furlong: better than the historical jamestown?
Mai_Andra:
Hey, Jamestown is a real place! 
ArtDecoSunburn: I assume Jamestown's lead hero is Pocahontas?
AugmentingPath: ohhh nooo i have too many levels won't someone saaave me
MacbethSeemsSus: Jamestown, the historically successful place
A_Dub888: @Metric_Furlong low bar
NazTMann:
@ArtDecoSunburn 
I want your bodies, I want your corpses en masse You and me can perform a Necromance
CypherRaze: Jamestown, home of Gandalf the Sunfire.
ArtDecoSunburn: @MacbethSeemsSus Technically better than Roanoke Island!
Vilun: spend your law points
e_bloc: technically the best, the best kind of best
SnackPak_:
micro is the hardest part of these games 
Mai_Andra: very squishy footsteps in this place...
AugmentingPath: Huh... this battlefield is covered in. Bug bones?
Voidhawk42: Got 99 problems, and all of them are skeletons#
Kaaosa: is this heroes of might and magic olden era
CypherRaze: 99 bottles of Skeleton on the wall?
Dog_of_Myth: It is @Kaaosa
Metric_Furlong: if you're having fight problems I feel bad for you son; I got 99 skeletons and I ain't lost one
SquareDotCube: 99 skeletons, you must have a walk-in closet
Kaaosa: oh cool i wasn't sure, no way to tell
e_bloc: don't feel bad shooting things trying to kill you (in video games, guns are bad)
MacbethSeemsSus: brought to you by loadingreadyrun
ArtDecoSunburn: @Metric_Furlong The necromancy skill is really going to mess up that chorus count.
Mai_Andra: like Warcraft 1, just train 20 archers is a line, then send one warrior out to lure the enemy back
Kaaosa: i love when my heroes are both mighty and magical, or collectively have representation of each group
e_bloc: little known fact, in this universe might and magic are the two genders
exeJayce: I notice there's no Let's Nope this week; does that mean there will be double (or triple) the pre-game chaos when y'all get back to it, Ben?
Kaaosa: i'm gobblin' cash
goatprince: they be gobblin' their cash
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc How is that depicted on public restrooms?
lamina5432: nooooooo the horror
e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn wizard sleeve, odd hammer
Mai_Andra: Let's Nope has been dead. It literally opens with a ghost.
exeJayce: I don't think I've been around long enough to notice the swap around, actually, good to know!
e_bloc: chat got 2 weeks of resident evil in a row and thats too much h
MacbethSeemsSus: They got through 99% of RE9 and said "no more"
Kramburger: I'll have to come up with some Let's Nope memorial match for the next rumble
ArtDecoSunburn: Would Nelson have a third category of soldiers to go recruit in his town?
Mai_Andra: so much power
e_bloc: the powerful curse is a chain (link) letter
e_bloc: you have to show it to 5 kobolds before friday
Dog_of_Myth: It should be on the ring
dumbo3k: Del-Ette Her-O, It's French
ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Ha!
goatprince: curse, if it's like HoM+M3, is the opposite of luck, which makes you do double damage when it proc's
goatprince: it's temporary
AugmentingPath: legally you have to SKELETONS
goatprince: in a fight?
couchboyj: Do thr skelingtons really NEED laws? Do Nelson's undead hordes have free will?
exeJayce: none spells, left skeletons?
e_bloc: so to recap, you accepted a curse nonchalantly and now you are bemoaning the bad things that are happening to you?
exeJayce: *slow clap*
SquareDotCube: that's the good thing about undead armies, they're only temporarily dead
e_bloc: odd that all these vertabrates drop bones as their treasures
goatprince: ben is goosemaxxing
MacbethSeemsSus: Free will, but lazy
AugmentingPath: did we not go all the way into the town or something?
goatprince: of in the hot hero of out the cold eat the troops
e_bloc: I like my heroes like my kleenex: strong, dependable and disposible
MacbethSeemsSus: Hopefully James built his Altar of Heroes already
exeJayce: I feel like Ben likes worms
tehfewl: oh worm?
e_bloc: that mansion? with these energy prices?
MacbethSeemsSus: Do you count Wyrms
e_bloc: 10/8 for 3GG
Larkonus: I love dropping it down in my Bello deck. Cast it, swing with 2 animated enchantments, draw 8.
e_bloc: its in a couple of my commander decks
e_bloc: just have a couple of your skeletons take some time and do a promo for raid shadow legends
captainnovas: go Netherlands soccer now
e_bloc: @captainnovas big ups Virgil
captainnovas: @e_bloc thanks
e_bloc: worms are squishy
goatprince: and when i look at a guy on a big worm,,,,,,, nay, i shan't say
captainnovas: big worm needs a gummy coating
Stoffern: Guy...big worm...yeah that sounds like a tank
n3ther:
e_bloc: ok Nelson so card advantage is
dumbo3k: you could stash some troops to defend it, thats what the popup was for
e_bloc: I missed the first 15 minutes, is this co-op or competitive
WriterRaven flops into chat, mildly irked about being late.
captainnovas: dinger
e_bloc: or I guess possibly both
Zanzabar_: sometimes the weekly locations usually have an animation that shows you can collect from it otherwise it should show in the tool tip popup
Vilun: you can get gold from law points
captainnovas: Netherlands or morocco who will win?

Metric_Furlong: Horn of the Abyss has a ranked ladder
Mai_Andra: I apparently have 3, but it very "looks old" compared to this...
exeJayce: hey xantos! what's up?
Zanzabar_: ubisoft kinda ruined the rest of the franchise unfortunately
Metric_Furlong: (Horn of the Abyss being the fan expansion pack for Homm3)
e_bloc: it doesnt happen much, but some games are just timeless
lord_maxzion: @Throgani It's a bit more tame compared to 3 which may be a good or bad thing depending on you.
xantos69: Just gone done cooking dinner. Thought I'd check in with the LRR folk.
Zanzabar_: they had ideas that werent good
exeJayce: oooh, what'd you have? =O
Metric_Furlong: now, technically, Disciples also kind of does the HoMM thing but it's a bit different and not quite as good from the strategy front
ArtDecoSunburn: And II was worth saluting, James. Remember the warring brothers scenario?
gualdhar: HOMAM 6 was so god awful
e_bloc: never go ubisoft
goatprince: it's bone time
MacbethSeemsSus: Where are the towers to climb?
Metric_Furlong: we don't talk about HoMM 6
SnackPak_: time to go bully Adam
e_bloc: this is Nelson's first time too
Throgani: @lord_maxzion Thanks. Tame isn't bad, but it's a big lift to switch off all my normal heuristics
e_bloc: that's just the game fucking with you
Blinkey17: @gualdhar I remember trying that game and getting booted from my single player game because my crappy internet dropped for a second. Didn't touch it again.
Zanzabar_: @gualdhar I played a bit of 6 and it seemed ok untill the ai started cheating too hard.
