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

After waking up, Varian sat cross-legged, checked the Dagger Ridge base in his mind, and began to think.

There are now two directions for base construction. One is the economic priority plan, which is to upgrade the parliament to Congress first without building military facilities. The Congress will have an income of 4000 gold coins every day.

The prerequisite for building a parliament is to have a castle. To build a castle, you must first upgrade the fortress to a base camp, and then upgrade the base camp to a castle.

If you choose the military-first plan, you can build an archer tower now, so that you can recruit a group of archers immediately.

The shooters in Heroes of Might and Magic are very elite, with long range and strong lethality.

After thinking it over, Varian decided to build the Capitol first. After all, there was no need for emergency troops now, and the base already had 14 spearmen, so basic security was still ensured.

When playing Heroes of Might and Magic in the past, recruiting some soldiers at the beginning could better expand the map and facilitate the leveling of heroes, but Varian does not need to do so now.

So he quickly checked the system's base camp.

systems mannual:

The base camp can not only increase the basic growth rate of organisms by 50%, but also strengthen the defense of the town.

The prerequisites for constructing this building have been met.

Price: 2500 gold coins, 5 units of stone.

After Varian silently recited the word "build" in his mind, a ray of light flashed and the fortress was instantly upgraded to a base camp. The original fortress only had an earth wall with slightly weaker defense, but now the base camp is like a stone wall and is much stronger.

He looked at the blacksmith shop next to him, which was a place specializing in making crossbows. Varian took a look and saw that a crossbow cost 2500 gold coins. He gritted his teeth and bought one. It was so painful.

The attack power of this crossbow cart is very strong. It is difficult to block it with ordinary shields. It can also penetrate the armor of cavalry. It is also relatively sturdy and not easily damaged.

But the price of 2500 gold coins was too expensive. Compared to spearmen who cost dozens of gold coins, the price of a crossbow cart was equivalent to that of thirty or forty spearmen. Although he was not short of money now, he still felt very heartbroken.

The purchased crossbow cart could not be operated automatically like in the game. It required a soldier to use it. Varian thought about it and moved the crossbow cart to the lobby of the base camp and stored it there first. He did not arrange for soldiers to operate it and would arrange for it to be used when it was needed.

After operating the base, Varian went to wash up and came to the hall.

Seeing that the team members were already eating breakfast, Varian ordered a beer-grilled pork chop and a glass of milk, then sat down.

Thinking that there was nothing to do in Moonbrook for the time being, Varian felt that he should go back to Stormwind City and talk to his father, King Llane, and ask him to give him the authority to recruit soldiers, so that his Dagger Ridge troops could be legitimate.

So he said, "After breakfast, let's pack up and go back to Stormwind City."

After hearing what Varian said, some team members looked reluctant. Since they followed the prince to Moonbrook Town, they didn't have to train every day and drank every day. The only battle they had was against the inferior Riverpaw Gnolls. They really didn't want to give up such a comfortable life.

They believed that this was the prince's first time traveling, getting to know the wild environment and experiencing a different life. The prince would travel around more in the future and would inevitably experience similar lives. They made up their minds to follow the prince forever.

"What's with that look on your faces? We're just going back for a trip. We're not staying away forever. Is it that serious?" Varian said unhappily when he saw that the team members didn't want to leave.

"Hey, Your Highness, we will all listen to you."

Varian couldn't help but laugh. After breakfast, everyone packed their bags and set off.

The troops were not advancing very fast, because whenever a blood-tusked boar or a coyote appeared on the roadside, the team members would go up to hunt, and Varian did not stop them.

As he rode his horse, Varian suddenly thought that it would not be long before the base would have to build advanced buildings, which would require other resources, such as crystals, sulfur, gems, and mercury.

As for the gems, as far as he knew, there was a jade mine in Elwynn Forest, near Northshire Abbey, which produced all kinds of gems.

Mercury is okay, there must be some in the mage area, alchemy requires it, and there is also mercury adamantine, maybe it can be used too.

Crystal? There may be no place in Stormwind Kingdom where crystal is produced. There is a crystal mine in the Stranglethorn Vale in the south, but the Stranglethorn Vale is the territory of the trolls.

Sulfur? I don't know where to find this stuff. Maybe the dwarves have it? I'll have to look for it then.

Fortunately, not too many of these items are needed, and the most important gems have been found, because these are the materials needed for the highest-level troops in the base in the future.

If the other two are not available, you can buy them from the system market without spending too much money.

A material warehouse can be built in the base. After it is built, it can collect 1 unit of wood and 1 unit of stone every day. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of both, so there is no rush to build it now.

Some other races' material warehouse buildings can produce resources such as sulfur or gems, but unfortunately they are not castle buildings.

We walked for a whole day without realizing it, and it was getting dark, so we set up camp on the spot.

Bonfires gradually lit up in the temporary camp, and the team members were barbecuing. The aroma of roasted wild boar meat and roasted coyote meat filled the air. Looking at the carefree appearance of the team members, Varian sighed softly.

Yes, now the Storm Kingdom is rich in resources and life is affluent. Who could have imagined that in the near future, there would be an invasion by orcs?

Only Varian knows this secret, and he cannot tell it. He can only prepare himself early. In the next few decades, war will be the main theme of this land.

He must prepare an army of more than 100,000 people before the orcs arrive, so that he can have some power to resist.

Not easy!

"Let's have barbecue." Gavinrad saw Varian in a daze and handed him a piece of roasted wild boar leg.

"It smells so good!" Varian said after taking a bite, then picked up the morning dew wine and clinked glasses with Gavinrad.

I don’t know how much I drank, but when I woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

A new day began. After a simple wash outside the tent, Varian's attention turned to the Dagger Ridge Base in his mind.

Today we are going to upgrade our base camp into a castle.

Checked the system's castle.

systems mannual:

The castle provides two arrow towers to strengthen the town's defenses, and also doubles the basic growth rate of creatures.

The prerequisites for constructing this building have been met.

Price: 5000 gold coins, 10 units of stone, 10 units of stone.

After silently reciting the word "build", a white light flashed and the base camp was instantly upgraded to a castle!
