The ragnarok and crusade upgrade should probably have some additional bonus to the kingdom that gets the upgrade so it’s not basically a punishment, like “you summon a demon, starting ragnarok” and “you’re king goes on a crusade, an angel protects your city in his stead”

Predstava II: "Nice Crusade you just started there. Would be a shame if something happened to your city..."

Crusades really do seem a guaranteed "his kingdom will die" event - either king dies in the field, or city is so so underdefended it gets immediately snapped up

I like the little story of Linvala Hop, the keeper of her own Stronghold, she was the one man army, and tried her best to prepare other Knights to defend their land together... Sadly King KrystianZombie desided to announce a Crusade, and lead the whole army of his kingdom opon Linvala. The King was victorious, at first... but soon enough his Capital was destroyed, and he was killed in other battle. And the only one who was left from Green Nation... is DawnFury, the very same man who ended the life of Linvala, and took her place as the keeper of Stronghold. He experiencedthe very same fate as Linvala is, and had the same end of his life... in battle for his Fortress.

My favorite part was at 23:30, when King Muffinskill III spent an entire battle getting spun in circles by Tylar the Kingsguard, and immediately dumped Tylar in the next town as soon as the battle was over.

44:28 Pink soldier: My King, 2 marbles are attacking the castle! King Demonium: Only 2? Are they mad? We will kill them easily. Pink soldier: Sire.... those two are Pingspikes and Azygrazy the Kingslayers! King Demonium: Oh no.

Okay, but can we talk about Sinep Egral the Warfront Dancer? They just single handed beat an entire army's worth of marble all on their own, while looking majestic as hell.

Oh my god. This was amazing. When I put my name in, I was just hoping to see myself on the screen for a couple seconds! The wave of emotions I felt throughout this video is hard to describe. Thanks so much for making this series. The emergent narratives are wonderful in their own right, but being able to see yourself inside of it is something else entirely.

huge respect to our beloved Nezumi the kingslayer, he was the last survivor of cyan kingdom, he got the luck to be monked into a red with predstava, and he survived until the last battle as a cyan. Huge respect for him

Everyone: go color [X]!! Myself: Bandits! Bandits! Bandits!

Predstava II, the man of suffering. He and his peers became an army with unstoppable strength, along with ochalo and maxafur, however, in a fierce battle, all of his companions died, and he retired to the kingdom out of grief, eventually finding happiness again with the ex cyan king and his loyal axe knight, the same people who killed his friends, but they managed to get along He found his end against the great purple army, along with his monk friend, spectrazon It was thanks to him that the red managed to last for so long despite having one of the lowest numbers Also props to red monks for recruiting half of the world, including not one but two kings

The best marble kingdoms serie so far in my opinion! I was SO hyped to see predstava II in the beginning, like omg, it has to be my child! And what's more, it was not just a warrior - leading its squad instead of killing all enemies on its own was definitely wiser. And if the predstava in Marble Kingdoms 16 was so-called kingslayer, the predstava II in this part was definitely a city conquerer. Overall, this part of marble kingdoms was so more complex, all those cockroaching hard-to-kill kings guards, monks switching even the kings on their side, constant fighting and a bit of fear for your hero. I'm once again amazed - but this time, it was a pure masterpiece! Can't wait to see more on patreon! Love you!

Ahhh. Pingspikes, slayer of his own king, along with his brother in arms AzyGrazy dying right in front of his eyes. After losing everything... he tries to find a battlefield to die on so he can join the others in the afterlife. A tragic tale this is.

An interesting way to reform the crusade idea would be to make crusades always attack capitals, and if the king who leads the crusade wins he takes the capital of the enemy for himself instead of destroying it.

The fact that the kings can change teams is absolutely insane and I love it.

The red kingdom is a kingdom of colors wether it be green, orange or even blue! They also have 2 notable warriors in their rank: Everybody is fair game to the monk Spectrazon, they were the right hand man of of Predstavas’s descendant. they were a young normal monk until he successfully converted king Muffinskill III, the Cyan king, and also his royal guard, Nezumi who went on to terrorize enemy forces. Spectrazon later converted a bandit warlord and fought multiple purple soldiers and converting most of them before falling in battle along with Predestava. There is also Nezumi, One of the Royal guard of Cyan who only allowed themself to be converted by a monk who is revealed to be a young Spectrazon. He later went on to terrorize armies with his spiked helmet and halberd and was fully initiated to the red kingdom and even though he died as a member of the red army, deep down he is still a cyan. Also Linvala Hop is very epic because neutrals don’t last that long.

Halberts and longswords are a welcome addition

I love how at 32:28, yellow sends out an army to stop the encroaching reds, and then Red just freaking side steps them to kill to abduct their king 😂

13:05 love how it took a crusade to finally kill Linvala. A true hero

Dawnfury the scourge of the South. Legend says he was once a foot soldier of the Crusades. Now he stalks the southlands, his blade tempered by tragedy, his heart blackened by loss. Pray you never cross his path.

The legend of AzzyGrazzy and Pingspikes, yellow's beyond loyal royal guard. Each one, slayer of a king who fell to heresy, their oaths unshakable, fighting to the last man with their halberds and their strength. They did not enjoy the title of "Kingslayer," especially when it was their own king, but their duty to their kingdom came first. They prayed their highness will see reason within the afterlife.

The Appearance of my own marble at 19:24 was cool. Did a last stand, taking a whole lot of light blue out with him.

Yellow's king guards becoming a king slayers lol.

R.I.P. Crement Alhimedov ll Promoted on 19:20 Killed on 20:14 Regular soldier that has been promoted in the great battle for an occupied by yellows city. After the battle he was set as a leader of a scout legion and was send to investigate possible ways to destroy capital of red kingdom. Unfortunately when he was at the mission Crement Alhimedov with his legion encountered red legion of Captain Predslava ll, he has been unmatched in equipment and has fallen at the line of his duty.

Spoiler Block I love how cyan's and yellow's kings got converted to red

when your favorite color wins by doing nothing all game, and you're unsure how to feel about it

4:13 The gray knights kill Archaon. Certified Warhammer moment.

Honestly, so many good heroes, stories, and events in this one. My favorites have to be the two yellow kingslayers and nezumi. A little hard to notice thing was the kingslayers killing their converted king and the king of the attacking army at the same time, allowing their kingdom to function without a king for awhile. Then there's nezumi the Loyal, who stuck with their king til the end, converting to the red's without the use of mind control after their king fell to it, fighting alongside them even after their original king met their end I could list many more highlights and mini story arcs, but this comment is already decently long. Definitely the best one yet

Overall this has been the best marble kingdoms yet, the addition of monks makes you root for your favourite characters even if they are outmatched, and monks themselves can quickly turn the tide of battle. I'd like to see archers improved somewhat? Like give them poison daggers/bows. And also maybe add crossbowmen, that can fire a devastating high-damage bolt that pierces marbles on higher levels.

Truly the wildest battle yet!! Epic from start to finish! Even though it was an hour long, I watched it all in one sitting and gonna have to show my friends too lol -the spoiler part- Really digged the new changes! The regular upgrades for the kings work well to ramp up the pressure as time goes on, and the crusade mechanic was awesome! It did seem to never work in their favour, but I blame red's bloodlust more than the mechanic. Even though it wasn't scripted, this video had better story beats than most movies lol! The town that could not be defeated, the king comes out of his castle to deal with it, only to get attacked from behind and have it's castle destroyed. Red realised how good that strategy was and uses it many more time. The priest who will happily convert anyone, including a king and a bandit boss. And then for it to end with Ragnarok. Truly an epic!

I'm thinking maybe adding some more neutral roaming units, like dragons or goblins. Dragon: It can breathe fire from a long distance, and can use claw attacks at close range. (It requires a certain number of troops to defeat it, otherwise the troops will be easily destroyed when encountering it) Goblin: has a very low chance of being hit, and a high movement speed. (When it exists in combat for more than 5 seconds, the goblin will have the option to escape)

This story was epic Predstava 2°, He was charged since childhood to become the strongest warrior in the world, and it is no wonder, he bears in his name one of the strongest warriors of ancient times, and was forced to act as such He never wanted this, he just wanted to live a simple childhood, but the world was in chaos, and he needed to fight for his kingdom. However, not much time passed, and they began to charge him, as he was still level 2, while his army already had level 3 troops and several level 1 and 2 troops. Predstava 2° always replied, "I'm letting my army grow stronger, because unity is strength" and things like that But things turned ugly when his entire army died in the fight against King Muffinskill at minute 28:00, as he was the only survivor, he was branded a coward for fleeing the battle Which only got worse, because right after, an army of beginners fought against the same army right after, and not only were they victorious, but Monkey Spectrazon converted his army to the red team. Things turned ugly for Predstava, who was left in a city to recant the little honor he still brought to his people, and what did he do? He fled The battle protecting The City And to make matters worse, he let Dvornik, the strongest warrior in the blue army, who was right in front of him, escape the battle alive in The minute 32:00 So they left him again to protect a city, and he who dared to flee from another battle Meanwhile, his army and especially spectrazon, were getting stronger, and what Predstava 2° He did? He fled his city, "but there were 75 units, I wouldn't have a chance" IT DOESN'T MATTER, I PREDED TO DEFEAT MANY MORE WARRIORS ALONE The reds decided to take some time to recover, and soon they would go on an expedition to defeat EVERYONE, but Predstava 2° He said it was very risky, many things had changed, and nothing was up to date recently, but who would believe a coward like him, they left anyway, and insisted on taking him "and you better start standing out" They destroyed the pink and yellow armies and decided to separate from Nezumi, taking care of the newly dominated city while he defended his kingdom. Predstava 2° He hated the idea, but who would trust him now? Nezumi even took the opportunity to summon a giant to his team, and that was when the red king, tired of Predstava's excuses, decided.. Call Ragnarok!! Just to teach a lesson in Predstava 2°, But that was his biggest mistake, leaving him and Spectrazon alone to face an army of over 80 warriors. "and you better not run away and help your fellow spectrazon" His army was quickly destroyed, and he began to look for escape routes, but he was surrounded, but when he saw his friend Spectrazon, about to die, he ran to help, but it was too late. Alone, against 15 warriors, he had no more hope, he could not escape, otherwise he would be severely punished, and so he decided to fight until the end, until the end of his life... The rest is history, blue, which was barely highlighted throughout the battle, took advantage of the fact that purple and red were weakened after this battle and well, it defeated everyone

Kingsguards are so strong ! Nezumi was so close to win 🤏

Idea to make the crusade better and more desirable, instead of the king, it sends out a prince to lead the army, and if the prince survives, and the king gets killed, it becomes the new king, allowing the color to survive just a bit longer.

"I am Linvala Hop of Lynn Valley and you will never take this castle!"

The King and halberd combo was almost unstoppable, like a spinning blade of death on the battlefield.

Damn, Borbonzolla really embodied the concept of the villain who becomes a pushover the minute they switch sides. They got what, 1 kill after being converted?

Longest and latest Lost Marble video is finally here, I can't wait to watch it!!

Love the addition of priests, it means that some of the bandit exclusive units get to be part of armies. And I love the tiny dagger bandits

Alright, bit of feedback: - The 'Crusade' event just guarantees a defeat, currently. I think the way to remedy this is to combine it with 'Add 10 Captains'. The King would embark on a Crusade with 10 newly-spawned Captains, leaving the rest of the army behind. This allows the intended effect of the King actively leading a powerful army, but doesn't leave the Capital undefended. The reward is a powerful army led by many Captains, but the drawback is that it risks the life of the King. - Just as a marble who kills a King is labelled a Kingslayer, I suggest that a marble who kills a Kingslayer should be labelled "The Avenger". Helps with story purposes. - Kings who defect to another faction should be labelled "The Traitor" or "The Faithless". Again, for storytelling. - Ragnarok kinda sucks. I get why it's there, to keep games from getting ridiculously long, but it makes all the preceding events feel pointless - very anticlimactic. Instead, rename it something else, and have it destroy just 1 enemy town at random - Capitals included. A simple dice roll which would permanently alter the course of the war.

💛in memory to our fallen heroes Azygrazy and Pingspikes

It's amazing how 8 Marble Kingdoms had large armies until the point where Ragnarok came and tried to neutralise them all. 😅👌 Those new Royal Guards and that new update with the Book Marble is sick too. Loved the episode!

It would be good if every time a stronghold or castle is won, the time to charge soldiers will be less or the number of soldiers will increase. If a stronghold wins 5 matches in a row, it becomes a fortress. If the color has 3 castles in the shape of a triangle or more, a kingdom space will be formed, and any enemy color that enters it, the soldiers of that color will move to kill it, and their strength and speed will be increased, and the enemy’s strength will be weakened. If there is an enemy castle or stronghold inside the space, the forces will attack it to destroy it. It is possible to create several spaces at the same time and contain the same castles, and any stronghold or castle that is located within the space increases the number of soldiers, the speed of their charging, and their initial strength. The greater the number of castles that make up the space, the greater the given reinforcement (Google translation)

Predstava stealing thre Green castle while king went on a crusade made a nice story of 2 Royal Guards who lost their liege and became wanderning Ronin for a short while until the same red captain slain them

I think this is the first time a "neutral" (white) soldier survives and levels up so much, and I'm all for it. Glory to the great Linvala Hop, Protector of the Village. Rest in piece, my Lord, you will be remember.

After a half-year of watching MK it's still blowing my mind how perfectly random events can fit in the lore. Excellent work! Is there any chance of sea actions? Like a naval boarding of two ships or dockyard battles? SPOILERS DOWN THERE! My favorite moments: 26:00 - Red monk Cobalt capture three cyan soldiers then retreats. 26:40 - Those traitors led red army to the almost empty cyan castle. 27:57 - Cyan King Muffinskill meets invaders, executes all traitors and the whole Predstava's squad. Predstava leaves the battlefield, Muffinskill and Nezumi are the only left from Cyan Kingdom. Revenge still awaits. 28:34 - Cyan clique attacks another red squad, but then got captured by Spectrazon. Really like how Red army became actually multicolor army, just like a mercenary clique or something like that. 34:04 - That's actually the moment when THE YELLOW CRUSADE BEGINS. Also I haven't seen any monks in their army, yellow guys really don't appreciate them after they forced Pingspikes to kill his own king. 34:10 - Sinep Egral, Agobard vibes...

bruh yet just a bit abnormal marble battle game just turned into the mount and blade:marbles.......I LIKE IT. MAEK MOREEEEEE

Watching this video at a reasonable hour of the day to not ruin my sleep. ;) Get good sleep, yall xd Anyway, nice addition to the series! It was an exciting marble war indeed but I wont spoil anything :)

I still think a second respawn circle/timer for castles that spawns a new captain/army at a third or fifth of the speed it spawns normal troops would be great (like a circle in a circle for castles). It could even be tied to the new "spawn mage/monk/etc" upgrades so they don't have to slow down the "minor" troop reinforcements. Plus getting a new mage/berzerker/etc for each new captain would be a neat way for a kingdom to possibly make a comeback. In the meantime, thanks for the great content!

Halfway through at the moment. Crusades seem to be the automatic kiss of death for a kingdom. Also some balancing issues when a lot of troops are built up in a castle. Example: purple at one point had over 70+ and went one town over and put all troops in small town rather than leaving some in castle or moving around to conquer as a large army. But love, the times upgrade for kings, please keep that! Also love the bezerkers.

The story of Predstava II, Maxafur, and Ochala was epic.

Gotta be humiliating for the blue team. First battle of the match and not only did the bandits drive them off, 2 of the bandits earned names. Edit: Green king: "Fine, I'll do it myself."

Red converted two kings and destroyed pretty much everybody else while having a smaller army. 11 blue lucky ones survived, but it was the Red empire that made history that's for sure.

Linvala Hop is reborn Agobard

as a red fan thanks to predstava II and maxafur. These two singlehandedly carried our early game and destroyed multiple kingdoms. While Maxafur died pretty early on his contributions were insane killing multiple armies and cities

I loved how the kingsguards would sometimes swing at their allies to send them across the battlefield. Also the 'Rally' upgrade should check if a colour has a castle _and_ any conquered towns, it was unfortunate for the colours that selected it just for nothing to happen...

A marble and this marble hype than Netflix series😂😂😂

The timing of the dial-up tone was perfect! XD 16:00

I really like the story of azygrazy and pingspikes duo. They both were kingslayers and I imagine them being friends. Unfortunately, azygrazy died while fighting magenta’s king and in a act of revenge,pingspikes killed magenta’s king. And he then hunted down the last few survivors from the city and defeated them. But then, predstava II and his troops found pingspikes and nearly killed him,before he ran away. But the saddest thing is, predstava II and his troops bumped into him later and killed him,ending the story of the yellow duo.

Can we talk about yellows royal guards? They not only watch their king turn traitor on them and lost their friends, those two had killed kings and singlehandedly kept the yellow kingdom alive for most of the game by fighting off armies much larger than them alone. Also the two heros of red the monk Spectrazon and his friend Captain Predstava II😅

9:06 an ingenious strategy from the Reds: The spinning king

Muffinskill and Nezumi got recruited lol, Predstava with his monk really did a lot of masterful gambit

Shout out to Unnamed fighter 570 whos sacrifice gave Spectrazon the opening they needed to become the Kingtaker and earning their name. Also wild to see a marble make the leader-board without even leveling up.

Can we get a shoutout to dvornik the spearman or should i say the master tactitian? He spawned in (27:10) , won the battle he was in so he got promoted to command a small army. He then targeted two bandit camps with surgical precision (29:22 and 30:10) , giving his kingdom some additional boosts. After getting into battle against nezumi he knew he had no chance after a few seconds (31:58), he ran away and bided his time until the apokalypse to get his revenge by knowing exactly what battles to take, staying out of the big fights, strenghtening his army with another bandit camp instead (52:25). Then he took out the last of purple, when they were weak enough to defeat easily (55:21) In the end he took yet another camp in the last second to bolster his forces enough to take out nezumi easily (55:59). He even was the guy who boxed in nezumi stabbing him in the back for his army to secure the win. Also he exclusivly fought by staying far behind the action only taking cheap shots when he saw an opening. In a book he would be the bad guy slaying the hero. Perfection

Predstava carried red again, yellow kingslayer duo amazing. I need more of this.

Goated: linvala, the red monks who started a king collection

Predestava II: Dad, who was grandpa? Kototo: Well, you see... There was a certain man On the map long ago He was big and strong And his name was Predestava Most people looked at him With terror and with fear, But for red troops He was such a lovely dear

Now I'm eager to see a situation where the bandits win from start to finish - one group undefeated.

I wonder if we'll ever see a King [name] the Kingslayer. Also, major props to Spectrazon, the monk who converted kings.

Those yellow axe brothers(yes I’m calling them that)were a great gruella fighter group and one even managed to kill the pink king,there definitely my second favorite in this series.

It felt like Red had the One Ring for a time, there! Recruiting royalty, infantry, and banditry all!

I feel like a Crusade being added needs to have an option for a color to take over a city so that it doesn't guarantee a kingdom dies from the event. Aside from that every option and tweak to the features REALLY made this more interesting to watch. Well done all around

This was wonderful i absolutely loved watching cyans kinguard last to the very end along with the grand captain of the red legion predstava II

So happy to see halbard users now! they are by far the coolest unit, with Longswords being second.!

Would love if there could be a necromancer grey that just goes around raising an army

Crusades are pretty cool, Predesteva II just happened to wander he and his armies into the now vacant city and raze it to the ground

The two sword guys are the most powerful, at about 35 minutes on killed nearly twenty other marbles in a row.

Every moment was epic, I've no words to describe it. So thank you for being on YT.

Nezumi red fighter with cyan blood. what a legend.

28:53 "CONFERT HERETIC KING REPENT" and thus the kings decides to change sides becuase book xD

I saw this 5 min after realese, watched this, and i'm glad to see my previous suggestion was took as an idea, not for hammer user, but i now see how OP that idea was, cause most powerfull and protected units - new king guards. Yet I had a blast watching it, and of course will wait for next episode. I also love new damage showing system, new King upgrades and Monks especially, cause these guy's can turn powers of sides in a moments. Iwish you succes and good wellbeign, since you - LM, are an amazing content creator, who loves to improve and expirement, which i personally love in youtube content. Hello from Russia and good day/night to you and everyone!

The kingsguards being kingslayers very often is so ironic.

R.I.P. Nezumi the kingslayer and kingsguard forever loyal to their king. Predstava II the captain and hero of the red kingdom. Spectrazon converter of kings and trusted friend and ally of predstava II . And finally Pingspikes and Azygrazy kingslayers and battlebrothers who still fought for their kingdom even after it’s fall and died with honour in battle against their foes.

Props to Pingspikes for avenging the only other fighter to match his strength. Killed the pink king, and chased down the last pinks not just once, but twice in a row just to make sure they were *not* going to come back.

can we all acknowledge how linvala hop, a bandit, destroyed a couple armys by themself?

The inclusions of halberds as a new weapon is certainly interesting. It adds a new style to watch out for when in battle.

Love how green king bounces all over the place at 15:56

i feel like these can sometimes be more epic than real history man

It would be epic that there was a narrator, epic story and epic sound effects to automatize movies lmaooo

Yellow is known for having the most crazy last stands ever XD

Predstava: dies in battle Predstava II: dies in battle, but in style

Pinspike LAUNCHING the mage to block the exit was a GODLY move if not brutal as hell

I was Captain Examiner, unfortunately died all too soon on a failed assault against the red city, the odds were stacked too high against us

Linvala Hop, champion of the Nuetrals, defender of her village, greatest of her name…killed by bad spawn.

Love that one neutral city that stayed on for so long lmao.

Predstava II was a great man. May he rest in peace.

Spoiler Thus far, the Red Kingdom has managed to convert 2 kings from other kingdoms, as well as their Kingsguards. And let us not forget that they managed to convert a Berseker from the Grey Tribes and they have the highest level monk in the series. Ironic that the last from the Reds....is a Converted Cyan, who is a Kingsguard that is a Kingslayer. I'm still quite proud that predstava II is a better warrior than the one before him. He died in honor and glory.

I really like the idea of the crusade. Of course it should be balanced a bit so that it doesn't mean instant death for the kingdom, but otherwise it's great. I'll say one suggestion. I don't know if you like it, but I think it would be kind of nice if the winning side could take prisoners after winning a fight. I imagine that there is a chance that the marbles don't die but are injured and can therefore be captured. Depending on the class and level of the marble, you could eventually recruit prisoners for your own army. There is a prison in the city where the prisoners are housed until they can be recruited. If one kingdom destroys another, that kingdom receives the remaining prisoners and can recruit them. I think this would bring in even more life and would make destroying a city even more lucrative. That was my suggestion and I hope you see it. In the end, of course, you decide whether it goes in or not. Thanks and nice video

6:11 linvala hop absolutely destryoind oranges army leving one suvivor is so funny

A bit late, but I think I have a solution to the extreme punishment for lack of castle defense. If a base is attacked, the map does not pause for the armies of the defending color - instead they are allowed to panic rush home to defend and only join the fight from the bottom of the screen when they reach the battle. This still gives them a disadvantage for leaving home but doesn't straight up guarantee the king dies if an army leaves.
