Fighting isn't just about hitting your enemies blindly. You want someone who is able to heal your wounds in the sinister army. Here comes the Priest. The Priest unit is not very tough, but it can still be very useful for the survival of your horde. It only needs a couple hits to put it into an eternal sleep (at least till Moriana doesn't bother it). In general, it is best to keep enemy Priests from living too long as they will heal you as well.
Fact: There's a good reason why it is yellow.
WARRIOR
Type : Melee
Description: violent, tough and bald
Grab the Warrior Unit as quickly as you can. Even one Warrior can take out a few Peasants. A single Warrior is still an easy target. Find a group of 2 or 3 of these ginger-bearded lumberjacks. Beware that in larger groups those axes will do serious damage to the horde. You can easily turn the table in this game.
Fact: Originally, enemy units were known as Bandits. However, if you are playing the antagonist then they shouldn't really be considered bad. The Bandit was renamed to the Warrior.
SHEEP
Type : Exploding
Description: Fluffy and deadly
We plan to include more units in the final game (mostly melee ones at this time), such as RANGED units. We wanted to show you the diversity of units, but for now we just added a few explosions. So we decided to include exploding sheep in the demo. Your most important allies are these fluffy companions. They are not a danger to you when they're still alive. When you kill a sheep and then resurrect, it's like having a bomb with legs. When someone dies and kills one of your sheep, the Sheep explodes in a huge blast, taking away some enemies. It's best to place it strategically in the battle - it will be more effective to make a loud BOOM when Knights and not only a few Peasants are nearby. Don't worry about your Sheep harming your minions, there is no enemy fire yet in Be My Horde.
Trivial: The Exploding sheep is an Easter Egg that references a unit similar to one you'll find in our former game, Realms of Magic. This is a reference (digging deeper) to units found in Warcraft 3
KNIGHT
Type : Melee
Characteristics: shiny, armored and painfully noble
You know when more law enforcement officers arrive in GTA to ruin the fun of your trigger adventures? Knights are the same in Be My Horde. The authorities will be alerted if you kill peasants (but probably not immediately, since the people working in the field aren't that important). Knights then appear and destroy your entire horde. You should avoid large groups, even if it's just one Knight. They can cause you harm, and they will create a ring around your neck.
Fact: Knight was the first unit that our artists drew for Be My Horde.
CAVALRYMAN
Type : Melee
Description: Looks cool but stinks bad
Rapid and dangerous, cavalrymen are able to charge your army and can sometimes be a threat directly to Moriana. The long lances of the cavalrymen prove that size does sometimes matter. Note from some of our men. It's very hard to get one, and they often can take quite a bit of damage before succumbing. It's well worth the effort to grab some and shout, "Be my horse!" The difference between winning and losing can be decided by having 5 to 6 cavalrymen.
Trivial: All other units had to hit Cavalryman with a specific sound because he was on a horse.
PALADIN
Type: Melee (area damage)
Characteristics: fat, big fellow holding a hammer
This is what a top performance looks like. If you see a Paladin at the end of the Demo, you have done very well. They often help players reach their end. The hammers of the Paladins can be very dangerous, as they cause a lot of damage in an area, and hurt a few enemies within a short radius. Fear not! You can stand up to them if you create a large horde. They are weaker than cavalrymen and easier to defeat. Is there any better way to make the good guys look bad than to add some of their most noble protagonists to an army of evil.
Fact: We gave the Paladin his ability to deal area damage because we were trying to thin the player's Horde by the end of Be My Horde demo. You can therefore say we created him to be a very powerful unit in order for you to quit Be My Horde.
We said it at the start, but the units that you see in the demo represent only a small part of the game. As we speak, we're testing new enemies like ranged units as well as many others. There will definitely be another episode of "Victims Of Be My Horde". ).
Be My Horde is now available for you to try out. Your feedback is welcome. We will be sharing more information soon.
Moriana, Praise you!
