1
00:00:07.742 --> 00:00:16.844
The Gargoyle settlement starts with workers and a small defensive force. We will watch it build a roster, equip its recruits, and push across the river.

2
00:00:38.531 --> 00:00:45.171
The worker carries these logs home. Wood becomes stored stock only after the journey back to a building.

3
00:00:53.933 --> 00:01:00.249
Inside the keep, these piles show its actual wood and gold. Tanks and vaults have finite capacity.

4
00:01:09.341 --> 00:01:18.304
Recruits begin at home and train. Military units also visit workshops for their own equipment; finishing research only unlocks the recipe.

5
00:01:42.076 --> 00:01:47.463
The Stone Lair is ready for recruitment. Workers are still expanding the settlement around it.

6
00:02:14.078 --> 00:02:22.345
The refinery turns carried crude oil into usable fuel. Its sealed stores support this race's pressure and flame equipment.

7
00:02:44.075 --> 00:02:50.994
The watchtower guards the approach. Placing it beside the working army helps protect resource routes without crowding the town.

8
00:03:24.078 --> 00:03:31.044
The Gasworks Roost adds the more specialized recruits. Their equipment will matter just as much as the training itself.

9
00:03:55.589 --> 00:04:02.137
The Altar Hall completes the support buildings. This is also where the Elder's Skyfall research becomes available.

10
00:04:11.084 --> 00:04:19.396
Refinery Crews speeds up harvesting. The benefit is economic: more supplies returning to the buildings while the settlement prepares its army.

11
00:04:54.933 --> 00:05:04.686
Warm Stone lets military units recover health between fights. Healing begins after eight seconds without damage, so withdrawing can preserve wounded troops.

12
00:05:45.731 --> 00:05:53.765
Wing Drills makes the listed Gargoyles eighteen percent faster once fitted. It improves movement, not the reach or damage of their attacks.

13
00:06:36.413 --> 00:06:45.841
Ember and Gas Focus adds splash to fitted Embercasters and Ember Bellows. It also makes gas detonations twenty-five percent stronger.

14
00:07:33.909 --> 00:07:41.293
High Roosts extends every unit's sight by three tiles. Defensive buildings also gain two tiles of firing range.

15
00:08:37.709 --> 00:08:46.626
Skyfall lets a fitted Elder leap up to nine tiles and damage enemies near its landing. The destination determines which enemies the strike can reach.

16
00:09:46.112 --> 00:09:54.749
The Forged Weapon Kit adds three melee damage to eligible units after fitting. This is a separate improvement from the race-specific studies.

17
00:10:37.852 --> 00:10:45.746
The Armor and Harness Kit adds two armor to military units. Each soldier still needs a workshop visit to receive the equipment.

18
00:11:33.135 --> 00:11:40.101
Missile and Siege Tools adds three ranged damage after fitting. The kit goes to units whose weapons can use it.

19
00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:42.480
Gargoyle Shapers gather supplies and construct the settlement. They need to return their loads to storage before those resources can fund the army.

20
00:13:10.283 --> 00:13:17.807
Sentinels provide the basic close-range line. They can occupy attackers while the more specialized Gargoyles look for an opening.

21
00:14:34.375 --> 00:14:44.080
The Embercaster is a ranged fighter. Its researched splash upgrade can help against enemies standing close together, but it still needs protection from melee attackers.

22
00:16:02.636 --> 00:16:11.227
The Elder can use Skyfall to cross a gap and strike around the landing. It is a way to choose an engagement, not protection from retaliation.

23
00:17:54.187 --> 00:18:02.639
Redwing Skirmishers can throw a quick javelin volley and then retreat. Their light bodies make roots and close pursuit especially dangerous.

24
00:19:19.703 --> 00:19:28.666
The Basalt Mauler can slam the ground to root nearby enemies and interrupt their strikes. Its slow pursuit makes ranged opponents harder to catch.

25
00:21:12.045 --> 00:21:19.569
A Gloam Hunter can dive across a short obstacle and attack on landing. Three seconds of grounded recovery leave it exposed afterward.

26
00:22:52.975 --> 00:23:02.170
Gaswing Alchemists can lay an eight-second cloud that slows enemies and disrupts ranged targeting. An Ember Bellows can ignite it before it disperses.

27
00:24:42.077 --> 00:24:50.482
The Ember Bellows must stand still during its short flame sweep. It can ignite an active gas cloud, but needs a close, clear firing position.

28
00:26:12.492 --> 00:26:21.501
An Eyrie Cantor can give nearby allies armor and faster regrouping for six seconds. Alone, the cantor has no group to protect and is fragile.

29
00:27:43.787 --> 00:27:54.050
The Gargoyles rely on choosing the engagement. Faster units can find openings while the Mauler anchors the fight; gas, flame, and protection need close coordination.

30
00:28:00.439 --> 00:28:09.263
The Basalt Mauler slams the ground beside the bridge. The burst is visible around it, although this view does not clearly show which enemies are caught.

31
00:31:19.130 --> 00:31:25.957
The alchemist puts a broad cloud over the approach to the tower. It hangs beyond the main cluster of Gargoyles.

32
00:36:08.528 --> 00:36:16.980
Much later, the Ember Bellows fires across the same approach. The earlier cloud is already gone, so this is not a gas-and-flame combination.

33
00:39:11.631 --> 00:39:18.133
The Redwing Skirmisher has reached an enemy ahead of the main group. The fight has moved toward the remaining buildings.

34
00:39:39.184 --> 00:39:48.425
The enemy keep falls, and the Gargoyles win the match. A clear gas detonation and a protective call supporting a group still need separate demonstrations.
