Since this video got relatively popular, I feel like I've got to share a backstage story of the characters. Ar-Baruk wasn't a traitor. He was a true loyal servant of the Dark Lord and the strongest warchief in this fort. But Norsko the overlord... he was a traitor and a scum working for the ranger. Overlord ordered to capture good loyal Ar-Baruk and killed him to undermine his own fort's defence and to ensure that the ranger's siege of his fort would be just a cakewalk. Also, he needed to make sure, it would look like he was just purging spies, otherwise his own orcs would throw him out of the tower for treachery. Ar-Baruk was the only one who could defeat Ronk Head-Chopper in combat, but he was cowardly backstabbed by his own commander. So, the attack happened. All warchiefs and their bodyguards were butchered by Ronk and the overlord was beaten in a sort of a staged fight in the throne room. Norsko yielded the fort making it look like defeat. Later he was recruited to the Bright Lord's army. This story tells how bravest of heroes sometmes are defenceless against malicious schemers.
@@Senok13you can’t have an overlord as a spy in a fortress, it’s literally impossible, you can have his bodyguards and war chiefs be spies but not the overlord so either he made up a fake story for fun or he’s just trying to bullshit people into believing him
There was one time where I had made every war-chief and overlord bodyguard a spy, except one. Then when I go to attack the warlord steps out talking abt how he caught my one “spy”…poor dude killed the only orc in that castle still loyal to him
That's actually quite realistic. If everyone else is a spy they will naturally have a huge advantage when it comes on shifting the blame on the one loyal guy and keep each other from being discovered.
I love how that intimidating speech becomes completely invalid, Once you realized, he just killed one of his own dudes for absolutely, no legitimate reason.

Kinda curious if having more spies actually makes the odds of them getting the wrong guy bigger would be a cool detail
