On the other hand, if you were to play it while behind some knights, archers, and/or pit traps.....

Fo... ah fuck it, where's the update?ghostdog said:
I was about to update, you bunch of whining whiners 
Stay tuned for MOAR later on, maybe even this very day, if I feel like it.
So, let's do this.
Fetid Swamp of Buuzal: Year 3!
Decided to buy the super scorcher, just for the hell of it.
A quick look at our promising settlement.
After replacing cows, let's try digging in the swamp a bit.
Had only like, 5 seconds of time left and didn't find anything.
Incoming from the east. They'll be smashed against our wall of knights ohurrhurrhurr.
But, let's go help them, just in case.
Dammit, moving on this swamp sure is slow. Time to go boogie-woogie all night long.
Let's plant some more trees.
And fuck, I've had enough of moving the goddamn cows, so I left only two of them at each knight (and yes, I tested it - the knights don't attack diagonally).
Dammit, ran out of time before I could buy all the remaining cows...
Oh well, ~100 gold at the end of a season won't do much of a difference anyway.
Let us move
Whoa, we've got a situation here.
Dammit lad, and there I was, saying that you don't get eaten by regular hordlings back in the Tree Realm
At least the other knights did well at their posts.
Rrrright-oh. Got to the limit of the cows again. Let's go plant sum trees.
And let's try digging around again. Where are the goddamn frogs.
Ah, yes, I see you, niggerfrog.
DIVE, DAMMIT. Oh well, it didn't before I ran out of time. I also shoveled the areas around it like mad and got nothing. Apparently, the 'gold hidden where frogs jump' thing is a hoax, and the buried treasure of the swamp was the stupid lute.
Time to fumigate.
I'll be activating the boots everytime a combat scenario starts from now on. They're cheap as hell, and help counter the swamp's decrease of movement speed rather well.
Zzzzzzzing. Well, only one slowpoke left. I guess we all know what that means.
Ayup.
Ohohoho, let's give this baby a field test.
ACHTUNG ACHTUNG HERMAN. PLACE US IN A GOOD POSITION SO WE CAN USE ZE NEW WUNDERWAFFE THAT WE GOT FROM ZE VATERLAND.
EAT ZE FLAMES, UNTERMENSCH.
Zhey are trying to get avay, full speed ahead, Herman.
Jawohl, herr Oberleutnant!
Who wanted a grilled hordling?
And a pile of ash is all that's left of the once proud tank :<
Hell, I thought this flamethrower ate away cash per second of usage, but apparently, it only has the activation cost, so I can spit out as many flames as I want.
Cows replaced. I also stretched the line of defenses a bit to the north, just in case.
Let's plant helluva trees \o/
Dang, I'm seriously running out of stuff to do in the strategy part. Meh, let's call the hordlings
Shitheads are trying to ambush us from the west.
So I proceeded to fend them off, and heard a strange sound, like if something just warped in.
Ayup, shaman. Right in the middle of my goddamn village.
BOOGIE!!!!!
But, he only managed to blast away one house and nothing else. He was also kind enough to carry 50 gold to pay for our current and future usage of boots.
The western hordlings put the shaman's diversion to good use, though. I'll have to withdraw one of the northern knights to this place.
The knights did short work of the other hordlings (as always).
But apparently one of them has fallen in the process. Curious. Also, this is the first time we've lost a villager. Nice, nearly 3 years without casualties.
Derp derp derp.
That satisfied look on his jewish face is seriously aggravating.
Aaaaaand the shoppe again. Now with only three items (all more or less useless right now).

The next areas are very shitty to play if you don't have a sizeable nest-egg.

Welcome back comrades. I think it's time for us to face another year fighting off the red menace called... THE HORDE!
Year 4, spring.
Like I said before, I reinforced the western flank.
Nothing more to add - let's fight.
At this point I recalled that I was supposed to repost a fallen knight in the North-East section...
Oh well, normal thwacking should suffice.
Yawn.
Right, the perimeter looks secure enough for now.
And hell, let's go dig around frogs some more, we don't have anything better to do anyway.
Surprise, surprise, it actually works. Found 150 gold where the frog submerged.
And ran out of time. More hordlings need to taste some steel.
BOOGIEEEEEEEE. These boots are srsly useful.
I've been to the NE to help the knight, and hell, the crocs hit hard. I was damaged like three times and lost 60 hp.
One of the cocks thought he could infiltrate the village
Dammit, another one.
wut
Ah, that explains how he managed to sneak by. Damn personal teleporters.
Lost sum crops. Now that's uncommon.
'sup
eh... what? Thought that maybe chopping down trees will yield more gold now, but no...
Oh well, maybe that's something too elaborate for my feeble mind.
Notice how geniusly have I placed a cow at the northern knight... I noticed that by the time the hordlings attacked.
Let's hunt down sum frogs.
25 gold found.
and 100 again. Fun.
But enough of these shenanigans - duty calls.
Let's reinforce the NE knight and we'll see what to do next.
The east knight post got a bit... uh... overwhelmed.
Snap.
Die, decadent pigs!1
Aaaaaaand three incoming latecomers. Most surely tanks *sigh*
Let's get the NE one first
Hurrrr, I seriously like the flamethrower. Not only is it rather effective, but also damn safe. It's only a shame that when you activate it, you deactivate the boots.
But you have to watch where you point it, since we don't want to turn our cows into BBQ. It's best to shoop the tank a bit first, and then let him snatch the cow so that the knight can finish the deed.
The tank coming from the west already got beaten down by the knight apparently. The armoured dudes are REALLY good that punishing hungry tanks.
Last tank standing. Let's get him with the sword.
Splat!
Not bad.
Right, either I've completely forgotten to take pictures during winter's strategy part, or it was completely uninteresting so I didn't even bother.
Probably a mix of these.
Let's take down the one incoming from the west. He looks like he's not going for the cows, and might cause unnecessary trouble.
Hitting the crocs is a pain. It's rather better to stay as far as possible to avoid getting hit, but their slim figures need you to be extremely near to land a hit.
The knights are holding out well enough, it seems.
Oh lawd. Probably the rest are also tanks. *activates flamethrower*
Two down, two to go. Actually, when I think about it, I could just stand around and do nothing when the fat shitheads come, because the knights are totally enough to dispatch them.
Where's the last one... ah, NE corner.
Lock on ze coordinates Herman.
Ffs, running around the swamp without the boots is a pain in the arse.
I bet'cha 5$ ya can't shoot yerself, jump in a pot and cook yerself
*fwoosh*
No cows lost? That's rare.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR GODDAMN CHIHUAHUAS
Stay tuned, for next time we'll be facing the last year in the Swamp, which probably will be overkill, but to be honest, so far I'm not impressed. The Tree Realm was like, a hundred times more difficult (although that might have been so because we had no knights back then).

Since I'm sitting around doing nothing and I thought I'll whack some more hordlings, you're getting this Sunday Special extra update. Rejoice.
This village really is big.
Went off to hunt some frogs again. Found a site of hidden gems worth a whopping 300 gold.
Bring 'em on.
Let's support the lower eastern knight for a change.
... not like he needs our help though.
Same with the northern one.
I feel so useless
yawn. And this is supposed to be the final year?
chopped/planted trees. Again, nothing to do in strategy mode. meh.
Fortunately, there are always frogs to hunt
Neat.
22? hohoho, we're in business finally.
Again, the NE knight needs our help.
Situation contained. Proceeding to next areas of infestation.
You leave that villager alone, nasty croc
Fuck, a shaman.
Bitch warped out before I could execute terrible vengeance.
Where are ya, punk?!
Probably in the middle
Indeed. He also managed to beam out again, goddammit.
and thought he could snatch a cow in the meantime
WRONG
Oops. Good bye anonymous villager!
CHAUNCEY SMASH!!
Interesting, I thought I lost like, 2 or 3 cows here.
Apparently these were not cows but villagers *shrug*
Woohoo, strategy. The joys of having nothing to do.
Show me the way to the gold, jewish frog :evil:
Didn't find anything. Killing time is upon us.
No one's coming out, are you sure I'm in the right game?
Yes, time to get medieval on their asses.
soundtrack for this season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxJic1XjMTM
Fallen Angels, arise from your graves
Free your spirits and unite
before the blood of the Unicorn colors the night
From the ruins of hell we shall rise
On The Edge Of Honour we see the light
of the Unicorn soaring the night
Raaaarrrrgh!1 Nothing like some cheesy, epic power metal with even more cheesy, epic power metal lyrics to portray this EXTREME, epic battle!
On a serious note, this is disappointingly easy :<
Winter. Time to sell all the stuff. Before...
...after. Almost managed to sell all the tree saplings too. Also left a couple of knights behind just in case.
Lock 'n' load.
Oh my. Let's start with the NE part, as always.
TASTE COLD STEEL, FEEBLE HORDLINGS.
Whoaaaa, whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (sounds of dazed Chauncey).
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Multiple enemy sightings in the village, sir.
Very well, we'll pay them in rape dollars.
Yup, I know what image will haunt the dreams of this villager forever.
At least he'll live some more time.
Right, these three left are most probably all tanks.
Ohurrhurrhurr.
SHOOP DA WHOOP.
Ooops. There goes a house. FORTUNATELY, it doesn't fry them along with the villagers inside. It's a bit ridiculous that a slightest touch with the flames turns the buildings into ash, though.
Apparently the SW knight took out his portion of hordlings splendidly.
And the last hordling was actually a jumper, not a tank. He got whacked by the knight accordingly.
Yup. Now compare these results, to the final winter of the Tree Realm...
TOO DAMN EASY
Well, what do you know, I missed you.
Except that I didn't.
Great.
Yup, that's us. Titles are gud.
(screenshot number 1000 *standing ovations*)
And that concludes The Fetid Swamp of Buuzal and this update.
To what nefarious region shall we be sent the next time?
