You are doing an amazing job! It took me over 1500 hours to break 2k stats back in the day it was hard to power up. Now most just buy stuff at shops. The fact you're doing it the long way is great to see. The next logical step is to try the same challenge on Ruthless. Some challenges are only a bit harder on ruthless and some are like Ogre Crush were they are just plain stupidly strong on ruthless. The jump in difficulty between NM and ruthless on that one is sadistic. Worth a shot maybe get a ruthless victory over the spiders. I have NOT done portal defense on ruthless so I have no idea if a slight upgrade or Nuke upside you're head level of increase. One helpful tip in general those is you can move summoned minions and even tell them to follow you. It is possible to set some stationary and have a pack follow you around as well.
Your thought process surrounding where to place minions around the 15 minute mark reminded me of Survivorship bias... The mana was where your auras were, and the areas where there wasn't mana was the undefended areas here the portal would have been in trouble if it teleported to If you've never heard of survivorship bias you should look it up it's really interesting... The first time I saw the plane diagram before it was even explained to me what survivor ship bias was my reaction was the areas without dots were the critical systems that need to be reinforced
Ey man love the series, i once again quit and came back recently and i already caught up to you 😎 btw later in the series id recommend changing your builder monk and apprentice into the initiate/adept which are the female counterparts. They both have more movement speed than their male counterparts
the tavern rn is not brought back, it is original, made from scratch, you can also go outside, also also, there are plenty of custom taverns in the works ;)
@@Retro_Pat Some of them have been teased in a beta I participated in, so I've seen several already :3 If you want to see the old taverns, might be worth checking redux just for that since you can toggle through them there. Most don't have the upstairs area.
im realy interested what your custom keybinds look like. what key is what for you? i never changed anything except for what ability is on wich number on the visible menu. like putting minions on 6, 7, 8, 9, 0
tbh I never bothered to change keys, I play with default keys, and after updates (or patches, but not entirely sure) some setting do indeed get reset, and LAST weekend we had saturday with servers not saving stuff the whole day pretty much, so after they repaired servers that may or may not have reset your keybinds?

(you should try going through the doors ;) )

Eventually ur gonna need all the movement speed you can get with how fast your going to need to build your defenses
@@thecloner382 nah, those two heroes don't matter too much. As long as he doesn't swap them to slower skins it's fine.

Thats so amazing to me.

U can open the downstair doors and walk outside maybe (in the New tav)
