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 --> 00:00:48.562
Watch the worker carry timber home. Gargoyle speed does not make it usable until it reaches the Undercitadel. Keep the return path open for the next force.

3
00:00:53.933 --> 00:01:05.264
The Undercitadel holds delivered stores. The nests and the Stone Lair spend from that reserve. Protect the hauling road so the next wave actually forms.

4
00:01:09.341 --> 00:01:19.047
The Cliff Nests start the recruit's journey. Training at the Stone Lair and fitting at the Gasworks Roost still take time, so prepare the force before the pass is threatened.

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 --> 00:02:26.060
The Gas Refinery supports a paired attack. A Gaswing Alchemist lays bottled gloam; Ember Bellows can ignite the cloud. Watch the fuel route before relying on both.

7
00:02:44.075 --> 00:02:52.341
This tower guards the approach to the roost. Mobile Gargoyles may leave it to fight, but this fixed defense protects the workers who keep fuel coming.

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 --> 00:09:55.493
Forged Weapon Kit helps eligible melee Gargoyles after fitting. Use it for a chosen close fight; a Redwing Skirmisher still survives by keeping room to retreat.

17
00:10:37.852 --> 00:10:49.136
Armor and Harness gives eligible troops more protection once fitted at the Gasworks Roost. Prepare it before crossing the pass, then use movement rather than asking Sentinels to absorb everything.

18
00:11:33.135 --> 00:11:43.166
Missile and Siege Tools strengthens eligible ranged weapons after fitting. Equip the skirmishers before the first volley and leave them space to pull away from pursuit.

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.
