Ruinarch Puppetmaster - The Beginning of the End | EP 1

hello and welcome to roon arc so there's been a lot of changes in roon arc lately which is pretty awesome and i wanted to take some time to play do a play through and kind of talk about some of the changes that have taken place uh i'm currently just generating a map i haven't chosen where i'm putting my portal or where i'm uh what demon i'm using or anything like that so what we do have is we have a city of humans and a smaller city so we should have two cities on this map we're just kind of looking around we got some nymphs elementals okay so we've got both of our human cities in the upper left hand corner of the map so what i'm going to do is i'm going to actually create my portal down in the lower right hand corner uh so we'll put our portal here next to the trolls and then we're gonna configure our loadout i think i'm gonna be the puppeteer i really enjoy the puppeteer so your options are you have the uh so your archetype is the puppeteer the lich or the ravager puppeteer is uh someone who kind of manipulates the way things are going in the towns and kind of makes the villagers fight each other whereas the lich is a more um poison orientated person so the puppeteer and the litch are similar yet different the lich uh has some more hands-on action whereas the ravager is just straight up going in and demolishing the villages out of sheer terror so i am going to start this playthrough with the puppeteer and our spells that we start off with are the snare trap the afflictions we have are kleptomania and laziness so the snare trap just holds a villager for a bit produces some chaos orbs kleptomania these are traits or afflictions you can give the villagers and this one makes them want to steal whereas laziness they will become lazy and refuse to do work and every time they do it's going to reduce chaos orbs for you the ability we have is trigger the flaw so um the afflictions that we put on people we can trigger them with trigger flaw demons we have are just going to be a less demon at the moment which this has been changed the lust demon used to uh destroy happiness and now it actually does damage and then destruct the structures we have we're going to have a prism and hub and imp hut there we go and snooper snooper used to be called the eye then it was the beholder and now it's it's the snooper so what this does is it allows us to place eyes inside the village to gain intelligence and we'll talk about the intelligence a little later the input um allows us to spawn imps for defenses or attacks and the prism is where our defense parties are going to hang out so these are new to this patch so let's go ahead and start our game uh and we are playing with uh not sandbox mode the uh leveling up your portal so uh that's our our victory is leveling up the portal uh so right now we start at a level one uh we can't upgrade we need [Music] uh 20 chaos orbs to upgrade and this is what we get when we do upgrade [Music] so let's go ahead into buildings or structures and we'll put down our input here so the new thing is uh is that it used to be you could place buildings anywhere but with the new patch now all of your uh demonic area needs to touch it's kind of like with the uh zergs in starcraft where your layout needs to touch a little bit so we are gonna need this snooper as well and these guys do cost quite a bit of uh of mana so we can only create a couple of them so i want the snooper first before the prism so that way we can use the snooper to spawn some eyes and the eyes it's a pretty good idea to try to cover as much area as you can with the eyes so you get intelligence so we'll go ahead and put one there put one here so that way we can see that this is the outline of where we can get the intelligence and stuff has already started to pop up here the last one that we're going to place is going to be up here just so we can cover this town hall or the uh just so we can cover the city center there we go all right so we got people singing not very useful to us [Music] all right stop playing guitar so i just wanted to get the eyes down so we can start looking at intel uh we don't necessarily need a prison right now but we could place one up here just in case people start snooping around and we will spawn our 3d [Music] two of them because we're not going to use the chaos energy right now so we'll go ahead and deploy those it's gonna cost mana to do so that's no big deal so now we just have our imps that will be roaming this area for defense assaulting a chicken so if you cover over the eyes these are our intelligence so if you hover over the eyes it'll tell you what the outcome might be if you were to essentially snitch on people so most of the stuff that we're finding right now isn't very useful or people will be in disinterested to it so it doesn't really matter about that so we're not going to keep those we do see that they are forming a party or a group and they're going to explore the region which gives them a chance to find us so that's why we wanted to have our imps out there um one thing that we can do is we can go through our villagers and see what's going on [Music] uh and by that i mean just kidding because then uh one of the updates was that now we can't automatically see our villagers we have to use the chaotic energy to to reveal stuff about our towns [Music] thankfully these are both um same empire so revealing one should reveal the other so we're going to go ahead and do that so used 40 of our energy but it should have revealed yeah this is all one giant city so it did reveal everybody in here but if we were going to look at a specific person uh like their info mood we would still have to reveal that so what we want to do is we want to go to an overview see who the the leader is and who the sex successors are and i usually like revealing the leader and trying to mess with the leader because they'll have more influence over the town so you mess with the big guy everybody else kind of falls apart right so it'll give you a rundown of the leader what her um classes down here their element use their race their faction location what they're doing their party so we saw that we had a party going out which is the exodus so there she's a member of the disgusting blood coalition so they're not gonna go around they are a music hater which is really good because we saw somebody singing so we could actually take that and try to place it on uh on gun hill and see if that does anything so we'll go ahead and just click on our intel and drop it on there [Music] uh disapproving there so reduce their relationship and again relationships and manipulation is kind of what the puppet master does so since we know that they are now a music hater we're going to use that information to try to [Music] mess with people i'm just going to pick up a fish pile let's see what else we have going on so all right someone else sang so anytime someone sings i'm just going to tell her so that way they're disapproving it reduces the relationship between them it may or may not mess up their mood i'm not sure so buffy sang right so they have uh 57 so they have a 57 approval rating of buffy and buffy has a 12 approval rating of her so let's see what that rating what goes on with that so it dropped from 57 to 48 so we just keep messing with them this way for a while and so we can uh you know mess uh so we can can kind of get some more chaos points and stuff like that to develop more skills so let's see they're going up to here got some healing potions fish piles and we'll meet dante you're now gonna be a kleptomaniac and we're gonna trigger that flaw we don't know what that is but we're going to do it so we did trigger the flaw and that means that dante's going to go pickpocket so we gain some chaos chaotic energy and spirit energy so remember we need 20 spirit energy to upgrade our portal and chaotic energy we need to find out about different people in the towns and so on and so forth [Music] so we'll see we'll follow dante in here see if he gets caught just trying to pick pocket sheldon people are singing so i'm going to go ahead and take this information pass it on to our person who's our music hater here let them disapprove of everything so right it looks like dante and buffy are a couple oh this is just dante's house what's buffy doing here we don't have any information and we don't have enough to figure out uh about other people we do we did just get some mana but instead what i think i'm gonna do is i'm gonna summon a demon here [Music] and by summoning a demon i mean not do that because we don't have the ravager which is uh what we need in order to start raiding parties [Music] so that was another upgrade looks like looks like the rat men are getting ready to assault uh and they're gonna try to abduct brian but he's around a lot of people so i don't think that's gonna happen looks like he also has the plague which the plague is that like black sparkly stuff that's floating around them so yeah they're going to run he's going to run into a lot of people so i don't think this abduction is going to work very well they are all these people are working at the abandoned mine [Music] we do have the rat man fighting brian and it looks like he has abducted him i'm very surprised that happened rhett fighting the water nymphs they're all waking up so that's probably not gonna work out very well for him [Music] looks like they this is probably the party uh this is probably the party that's exploring the area yes this is the party that's exploring the area because their job their quest to continue exploring because one of their members kenley has just become frozen so they'll successfully win this and then they'll heal up kenley and then they'll just go home [Music] overall not bad they explored this area they missed the uh ank of anubis though we can't do a whole lot with that [Music] i'm not entirely sure what that noise was what that alert was all right so they're going back out so he's been abducted and they're just roaming looks like he's a single rat man he lives in this cave they must have opened it up but we did pick up uh i don't know what the relationships are with these guys okay clifton and i guess i could have since we've already looked at her and we've opened up all the info here we can see relations and husband clifton they don't like each other very much which i think is really funny [Music] all right okay so the the alert noise is when something comes off cooldown all right so that's it that's new since the last time that i've played so they've updated that so that's kind of cool all right let's give them all the information so we'll drop these relationships down prestons and then who's the last one darren play tunes with guitar so because she hates music all this is going to affect the moods and relationships which is what we want we want her to not really like anyone start feeling isolated uh and then we had sheldon shelton got stolen from [Music] i cannot remember dante that's right so we'll wait a second and then we'll trigger that flaw that'll give us some more chaotic energy some more spirit energy and dante is gonna make a move to start stealing from someone all right all right got some more so what we want to do is we want to start uh mess with people again so let's see clifton since you're already not liked too much by your wife we're going to give you laziness [Music] uh and hopefully what that'll do is that will make uh gunhild dislike clifton even more so we really seem to be focusing more on this town rather than this town it doesn't look like our eyes are binding a whole lot which is quite surprising mark the spot for the mine shaft so it looks like they're going to start mining out this area over here looks like they got another one over here [Music] so they'll start coming in and out of here but uh prime is still incapacitated there which is nice [Music] and let's actually one of the new features that they have that's pretty cool is we can keep someone on target uh so we can remember who our people are that we that we're using so we've got dante who's our thief so when we click on dante it'll just bring us right to him and then we can trigger the flaw again but uh we're gonna wait just a second we do have 21 points i'm actually going to reveal the info for dante he is now so now we have more information on him he's also a music hater he's your best robust which means that he doesn't get the plague uh and then of course we've made him a kleptomaniac so let's see the relations so interesting so buffy and dante are like super good friends his wife isn't in the village but she might come into the village when people migrate here so it's a very interesting [Music] very interesting situation we have and son is donald also not on the map tile so we don't know about them sheldon their friend is his friend which he's already robbed which is amazing so let's um let's let it run a little bit let's see ash how are you doing you're going for a stroll you're now going to be a kleptomaniac and we're going to have that get triggered there so we'll take that chaotic energy and spirit energy and we'll see if he's if he succeeds in his thieving which looks pretty promising doesn't look like he was successful that's right and they found the rat man which is unfortunate for our rat man and we can't do anything to help him out [Music] they healed them up or they healed themselves now now they're going to bury them in the graveyard or in this area over here so i was hoping that he would at least afflict them with the plague while they were fighting but that doesn't seem to be the case [Music] unfortunate unfortunately and we're really just waiting for stuff to refresh here uh with our laziness and kleptomania uh we do have some other chaotic energy so what we want to do and what we can do we just had an imp spawn so we have another imp available is we're going to look at our villagers again we're going to go to our overview uh so we have brian who is kidnapped right now francesca and brianna who are in line as the heirs of this village so brian's still over here he's uh well we can't see but he's basically tied up and imprisoned here and his prisoner and you know his uh overlords are now dead so we're gonna go to francesca and we're going to reveal her info here and see what uh see what she's all about she's a she's a poison expert so they know all about poison authority authoritative which means they have a loud voice their leader material and inspiring this would be an excellent person let's get that guitar info there this would be an excellent person to convert to an acolyte if we had that ability right now we will once we get our 20 spirit energy or maybe even further uh but this will definitely be a good person take a look at their mood they're going to be fine for now and relationships let's see so gun hill they're just acquaintances brian does not like her brianna she doesn't like brianna so we can see if we can kind of toy with this i'm going to reveal brianna's info that'll leave us with one chaotic energy so let's see their info uh so the uh lycophilic which means they're obsessed with werewolves uh diplomatic so they can usually defuse situations uh huh let's see so we have brianna where's francesca at again i want to take a look at her and see if there's anything we can do maybe we can get some info on them or let's see who owns this preston owns that guitar arnold zack guitar okay seeing if there was something that maybe people owned if this isn't your house okay this is your house but you just don't own anything all right you own those boxes excellent and the table everything else is owned okay and the rug all right so what i'm doing is i'm looking i'm like plotting to see if maybe there's something that we can steal and place somewhere else you know like we stole for instance the healing potion that's owned by brianna put it in francesca's house brianna sees it maybe they'll start fighting that's what i'm that's what i'm thinking about right now but we don't have the ability to uh don't have the ability to take items yet brianna let's have you alright so he's because he's now panicking so so brian's now panicking so we are getting chaotic energy and spirit energy which is really nice let's uh let's wait till kleptomania comes up and then we'll we'll upload brianna with leptomania and hopefully we can get brianna steal from francesca uh parade everyone's gonna approve of that uh rhett played some guitars so we'll go ahead and once again tell um gun healed about this so brett where's even bright at snow so many people are red rather so she already has a negative nine for him it's proving brett toll food so now let's take a look at the relationship status and right is now a negative 18. so we'll get these guys uh will basically make the leader hate them for playing guitar so anything that happens that's brought to the leader will then um you know be frowned upon so oh brianna sang but she was out of view of the eye so we didn't get that [Music] so that's why it's so crucial that we have good placement with the eyes trolling [Music] so we are day two one of the changes that they made that i really like is that time goes up by three minutes instead of five minutes uh kleptomania is recharged so that's awesome lots of people sleeping right now so we can't really afflict anybody with any negative traits [Music] we still have that happening we do have six spirit energy so we're not quite ready to level up yet but we are getting there we are getting there so i'm going to go ahead and speed up time from one speed to four speed you see how quickly time is progressing now uh and it looks like water nymphs have spawned all over this case with brian all over the cave where prime is so hopefully they'll honestly hopefully they'll attack and kill him [Music] um to manifest food zap seize object so that's what we're going to look for is basically we can take objects we also want prisons and so our next upgrade is going to be pretty pretty nice i do like the uh change of art different music hater that looks pretty cool [Music] so let's go ahead and check this out uh it doesn't look like they're gonna do anything to them that's unfortunate all right brianna hey you are now a kleptomaniac and you are going to steal stuff go ahead and take that chaotic energy spirit energy succeeded so that means that we get more oh look at that rihanna stole we caught it on camera so we're gonna take this and as soon as francesca is awake she is let's go ahead and put this info on francesca since they hate each other already this will make things look real nice up so you saw that uh dang to kenley [Music] not entirely sure what oh oh she's a sediment ruler of here and then that means that gun held which is up here i can't click on is the settlement ruler of and the faction leader okay so that's a shame i wish that uh francesco would have told gun hild but since we know that kenley is now the ruler of this area let's take a look and see what they are all right so she's annoyed she's a music lover let's see what her relationships are those are fire elementals see what her relationships are oh she does not like francesca at all interesting all right so we will try to do stuff that will manipulate francesca yeah the more that they're around each other the better it is for us and some people are so many people are seeing stopped from singing all these people are singing right next to gun held which is fantastic uh so they all got boosted morale since all their moods are met [Music] but that'll be okay clifton just saw them pardon him and got nervous and i did not i don't believe anybody's it's crazy oh look now he's gonna be all wet too it's perfect all this is lovely totally sang uh rihanna reduce conflict [Music] okay so they're taking stuff to build and create weapons and armor and stuff this is such a weird fishing shack okay i've never seen one of those before alright clifton walked in there saw the nymphs ran away uh he's gonna come back he sees his friend upset tries to heal his friend uh looks like he's gonna succeed which is [Music] sad [Music] all right well they they got brian he's starving so all right see we got music music music so we know who to tell that to which where is she even at way down here i've got some bad news people you like are playing music [Music] one thing that i think would be nice if you could like grab a punch at once so you don't have to keep looking but that should really diminish relationships yeah a lot of people nice made them enemies brianna's almost an enemy too which is really weird because the successor all right so they are you know what since you're here let's go ahead and steal stuff [Music] let's make everything really awkward oh you're just going to walk away from your party so let's see they are members of the part of uh i'm not sure what quest they're doing i didn't see them grab a quest unless i just overlooked it um ah there we go yeah early this morning when everyone gained their buffs they accepted a quest so i didn't see it so you can use the filter thing to turn uh what you're looking for on and off which is kind of cool i really like that feature dante's going to town these guys are just destroying yeah i'm just going to take out all the water nymphs there's not a whole lot we can do about that all right so we maxed out on mana again so let's uh [Music] we can't send anybody do anything um what we can do is we should nope we can't put our raid leader there i was thinking we could i was wrong such a weird pickpocketing scheme [Music] yeah like you try to do that right in front of everybody i'm really disappointed if they're not trying to tell on them where are you even going are you going home [Music] all right so we got 20 so we can start revealing more people which i think is what we want to do [Music] so well brianna's got to leave now i saw it all of our stuff's getting their info so we have the info what are you doing over here are you fighting ghosts okay [Music] uh unfortunately ghosts are fairly weak so i don't think it's going to work out too well for the ghosts there are lots of treasure chests in here [Music] i do like the added damage that they've uh they've worked up found what they find poison flasks [Music] ice wood piles metal piles not bad pretty good pretty good turn of events there for them uh let's see we got people singing that i'm missing let's grab all this uh let's see their relationship evelyn yeah they just don't like each other all right well once again we'll just tell so we are creating a bunch of enemies here which is going to be good for us in the long run i know it's not super exciting at the moment but planting these seeds of hatred is super important um almost everybody's negative and everybody that they did like slowly dwindling down so all that will be worthwhile uh right and they haven't come near our area which is nice so this is k-46 no that's k-43 was that k-46 down here yeah that was k-46 all right so they're sending their people out to [Music] they are sending people out so i threw down a snare trap just for for a couple reasons we do have um we need we need more spirit energy [Music] and also other people get nervous so therefore we basically doubled up uh we doubled up our spirit energy by trapping them right in front of another person because the one person got trapped the other person got startled perfect we got 20 let's upgrade so it does take time to upgrade it's not an instant thing so we will use our spirit energy to upgrade and it says that it's going to be finished on day 4 at 1 42 p.m so it's going to take 12 hours to upgrade not bad not bad but as long as we have this snare going on here and no one rescues him we'll continue to get spirit energy but shelton's going to go ahead and rescue him no big deal kind of expected that right i'm gonna afflict you with kleptomania and then make you steal so we're gonna go pickpocket lyric snare trap nice successful so we got some more chaotic energy we got some more spirit energy so we do have quite a few [Music] um oh buffy was killed by a ghost i didn't realize that rip buffy [Music] well [Music] all right so trigger flaw is ready to go again let's um start going through people and revealing them because we do have reef stricken because of uh buffy nice hot head and lazy suspicious diplomatic oh that's going to be nice when you're suspicious of your wife for stealing bored [Music] poison expert fast and robust dante you're kleptomany active music hater illidan you are beastmaster diplomatic and persuasive [Music] preston authoritative fast we already know about darren suspicious authoritative and robust inspiring inspiring means that they randomly blurred out inspirational quotes that makes people feel good about themselves music lover vigilante so they catches stealthy people pretty easily uh we should have almost everybody else there's a lot of people in this town i didn't realize it so they are an alcoholic and they're going through a draw which is not great for them but pretty nice for us let's go ahead and filter out see if uh we saw any intel that i missed yes people singing um i clicked a bunch of stuff that i didn't need but if that happens it's okay if you just click more things it'll kick out the last thing that you saw so i actually just wanted red singing it happened so all right so there we are i don't know why not entirely sure why that happened but uh i will take it rhett's now like an official enemy and negative 36 that's pretty good for us which is you know what we want [Music] uh there we go there we go now we're starting rumors [Music] there we go tired she's mad [Music] just keep keep it coming guys keep it coming [Music] everybody will be disapproving of gun healed take that oh we got new powers available so we can now manifest food uh we can lure people with that we now have a prison aspire so aspire we can upgrade our powers so we'll upgrade kleptomania that'll be pretty nice and then we'll have this go just like that and we'll get this prison going as well so we'll put the prison down here and maybe we'll put it here just speed this up a little bit there we go put our prison in let that go excellent so now we can actually snatch a villager we can add our imps we can select lust as our person and then we need to have a target so unfortunately the target is going to be one of the people that we are uh you know that we've already marked as a target so [Music] i don't know a lot about devin so let's find out diplomatic and inspiring that's great you know what else devin you're a noble so you're gonna be broken so we'll go back to the prison snatch villager we're gonna pick devon select their leaders lust and our two imps and the imps um so they're effective at knocking targets out because we're snatching them that's what we want so that's why we're going to take our amps plus we don't really have a kennel which is how we get other stuff so not enough mana to deploy we need 150 mana so we can deploy using we need our leader all right we'll just wait for mana uh we get 100 mana per hour so we'll just let this roll [Music] and what we would like ideally is to take devin how much does it cost for us to make food 100 so we're gonna wait for the top of the hour which not gonna be very long we're gonna send out our party for brianna you all by yourself ryan is now a target we are gonna go to the prison snatch villager rihanna leader we're going to deploy these guys we're going to play these guys over here and then we have [Music] so they're going to go for brianna which is right here [Music] so we should be able to take her down which we did which we've already got some uh some points for francesca sang we're gonna go ahead and steal that and we're gonna get points the entire time that they are doing stuff nice they've discovered the fire elementals which uh ooh they're using the fire elementals already that if they were using poison and the fire elementals to fire that would cause an explosion all right so we are just taking this chaotic energy and this spirit energy as we walk back to the prison uh it doesn't look like anybody is gonna come save her at the moment so when we get in here we're just gonna start torturing her [Music] uh ash died perfect [Music] i love this this is the best what's our next upgrade 40 40 yeah and we can create a mana pit which is going to be awesome uh and then we can create some psychopaths and lightning and water that that's a good combination and another defense structure so that's pretty good so she's not on fire anymore she was burnt so i don't know if we're gonna get any more spirit energy or chaotic energy out of it but uh overall overall i gotta say not too bad of a hall there there we go so the demons and the emps and everything will disappear once the person is in here now let's see what we can do we can attempt to brainwash them which turns them into a acolyte so [Music] they would be an okay acolyte what we need to do is we need to drop their mood down as much as we can so in order to do that let's go ahead and torture um torture will offer negative traits do we want to do we want to brainwash them into becoming an acolyte [Music] or do we want to torture them i think we should torture him since they're already a kleptomaniac uh we got water instead of uh water nymphs that have spawned here which that doesn't really matter if it was fire elementals that spawned in here that would have been real nice yeah i think uh i think we're just gonna torture so we'll get we'll get some chaos energy and spirit energy out of all this stuff here uh with the torture and then they will get a negative trait so they're already a kleptomaniac now they're agoraphobic so they hate when people are around them so anytime they're around crowds that are large enough we'll get more chaos worms so that's pretty nice all right let's let's see what's going on over here everybody is asleep except for our friend rihanna stefan's asleep devin's not asleep huh [Music] interesting brett how you doing [Music] oh they're going to exterminate cave 39 okay i think we're we're gonna i think we're gonna be waiting for you in cave 39 we'll just put some stuff over here put some food there distract them all uh ooh dante stopped to let it from singing everyone's stopping illidan from singing that's great johnny you should be done soon uh so they're exploring the region which again all stuff no problem no big deal no problem i don't know exactly where the quest is or the uh disgusting blood coalition okay so we have illidan shelton and dante and okay so we got a pretty decent group there uh so they got bonuses now it looks like they're probably gonna head out here soon yeah they're going to the cave we've already laid down a couple traps for him so we will get because it's going to happen right in front of these guys we will get bonuses for all that they just walk by my traps [Music] take that stuff like that put another trap right there just falls over it looks like [Music] are you just wow ran by and just laughed at him and you're a monster slaying okay this is a big cave this whole thing is cave 39 that is huge just uh hello he's just gonna talk to him while he lays there snared that's fine all of this is fine uh let's upgrade the portal too we do have 33 no not quite yet so close 35 we need five more four more three more [Music] illidan got up illidan are you gonna help him up nope sure not two more one more and that was that was pretty good where are we going i just need one more there we go boom time to upgrade all right uh so this will be ready at day six 218 so again probably it looks like 12 hours uh it's not i know it's not the best use let's go ahead and reveal all of our people just make sure that everybody's revealed people are fascinated with werewolves here huh [Music] blessed that's not great so blessed means that we can't do anything to them so we can't make them a kleptomaniac we can't make them a psychopath we can't do anything to them um but they have already got two pretty negative traits so i'm okay with that evelyn's gonna be in our back pocket and that should be everybody else uh so we can actually just look up the trade so amity's also blessed i didn't know that i didn't see that so they're suspicious and blessed we have no one that's evil uh let's see through let's look under here [Music] you have a couple kleptomaniacs i know this because we've made them speaking of brown and she's she's still down there she interesting uh i could brainwash them since i mean let me just let them go just let them go there you go go harvest the corn but before you do that go steal stuff oh no one's nearby that happens well with that guys i think i'm gonna call it here uh this is the first episode i plan on doing many many more if you guys are uh interested in this stuff please comment below if you have any suggestions of how we should go about manipulating the townsfolk also comment below and i will see you guys on the flippity flop
