    Some kings lead armies, whereas some are the army. Kings Gunner Sexton X and Croma proved that strength doesn’t always rely on numbers as they were able to revive their kingdoms even after they became its sole survivor. Also I’m happy for my favorite color orange for coming in second, I was a bit disappointed it’s kingdom got destroyed almost immediately, but they managed to hold on and become one of the biggest kingdoms out there, if only they weren’t being hunted down by a level 9 menace.

    some thoughts:
    1) the “ball of death” is a bad idea, almost immediately after it began, it destroyed almost everything that was in the center, and then destroyed the castles, its existence had several consequences:
    first, the main characters of this series were kings, this is not usual but interesting, and yet there is no need to repeat this.
    secondly, in this series we hardly saw T1 classes (knights, berserkers, archers, spearmen, hammermen), they appeared only at the end and in relatively small quantities.
    2) for the first time since the appearance of the phantom sword, it was useful.

    What would really help me as an addition would be a count of dead troops of the current battle. I always skip back to see who started the battle with witch number of troops and it would be much easier if there was like a little count above the map for example to keep track. A count for the entire game above that battle count would also be an nice gimmick. It could also include counting the kills made by the different nations

    After a vacation in the Land of the Rising Sun, we return to the fields and castles we know and love for more medieval marble conflict. For we watch to see dead marble warriors pile high, organic narratives unfold, and legendary heroes go down in history. This time around, however, the strongholds are not permanent. I'm not talking about the Ragnarok and Destroy an Enemy Town power-ups, for those have been reworked into a special map unit. Should this unit touch a town or castle, that town or castle is permanently destroyed, and the troops stationed there are forced to roam the map until destruction or conquering another stronghold. With the recent debut of Marble Shogun, an upgrade adding seven samurai to the unit is also featured. Even with all the chaos and intrigue, there was one marble who clearly, and I mean CLEARLY, stood out from the rest. This is the Marble Kingdoms 25: Impending Doom addendum to the MK Hall of Fame, and though there's only one inductee, what an inductee that marble is:
    These lands have been claimed by many a ruler in the past. Most assembled vast armies to guard their lives and conquer territory in their names, but none ever seemed to willingly go out of their way to prove their claim in combat, for cowardice is a virtue to them. Not this one. He earned his title by spilling the blood of his opponents, he conquered castles and slayed other kings himself, his throne sits on the bones of those he defeated in battle, for he is arguably the most powerful marble in Marble Kingdoms history. So, I say to you...BEHOLD THE KING! THE KING OF KINGS!
    - His Majesty Gunner Sexton X, The King of Kings, Level 9 (We've seen legendary heroes from just about every class in Marble Kingdoms, the likes of Zaria for Archers, Drew for Berserkers, Florymonde for Hammermen, Elliot for Mages, Askgar for Kingsguards, and Muffinskill VIII for Monks. But, throughout the history of Marble Kingdoms, there has never been a clear mythical figurehead for arguably the most critical class, the Kings who rule these lands and send marbles on conquests in their names. There have been rulers who have fought against the odds to keep their kingdoms in the game, some of whom are in the Hall of Fame already, but none have earned their title through sheer dominance in the field of battle. That was, until this episode. Gunner Sexton, tenth of his name, ruler of the Yellow Kingdom. He wasn't just willing to take to the fields to do battle, he actively pursued such actions, partaking in more battles than any other marble by a country mile and unleashing devastation onto his opponents. With an absolutely broken set of power-ups from his many skirmishes, Gunner Sexton X became virtually invincible, his sword cleaving through his victims effortlessly. As the number of fortresses whittled down, Gunner Sexton X continued to impose his will onto those who stood in his way, beheading other kings and striking down other notable heroes. Many have claimed the title of King, but Gunner Sexton X put his life on the line countless times to secure his claim. He truly is the King. All shall hail his name, for Gunner Sexton X is...The King of Kings.)

    The descendant of a long line of warrior kings, King Gunnar Sexton the Tenth received the best training his kingdom could offer; seeking to mend all possible flaws in his battle prowess, he became a master of both swordsmanship and blade magic, enabling him to strike down foes who thought themselves beyond his reach, whilst making any attempted duel of blades a fool’s errand.
    When his kingdom was overthrown, he set out on a journey to destroy all those who would dare to do so. For years he struck terror into the hearts of every kingdom in the land; eventually, he regained control of a castle and an army. So, he set out to destroy King Kroma, who had slain one of his sons in battle in times past. But Kroma proved a capable warrior in his own right, wiping out the army Gunnar sent against him.
    Gunnar retreated to the mountains alone; whilst there, he reflected upon his life and the path that led him here. He realized that, while leading armies and ruling nations, he had forgotten his origin: a king who sought to become the perfect warrior.
    Gunnar returned from the mountains and challenged Kroma and his army, alone. But with his mind clear and no one else to protect, he found that his blade and magics utterly confounded his foes, who rapidly fell before this whirling dance of steel and death. Even Kroma could not withstand the might of his strikes. And so, his vengeance was achieved.

    This is the best episode as of yet, with the new Orb of Doom being a great touch forcing kingdoms to more jam-packed battles and further highlighting the Kingdom's Monarchs, allowing the audience to create exciting stories. My favorites in this episodes were Yellow and Pink, with a shout-out to Orange Kingdom, all having legendary monarchs. Yellow on the brink of defeat rising from the ashes and winning, King Gunner Sexton being legendary. Equally, Pink swarming Purple left their Cunning Queen on the brink of death by none other than Yellow's King left a great story for the Queen to become stronger, mirroring King Gunner Sexton's rise to strength. Quite fitting Queen IridumSky would also fall to his army after crawling out of the brink of death. Orange Kingdom was a constant foe that provided a good last hura in the story. Lastly, discounting the Marble Bloopers and Samurai episodes, finally a Yellow victory after so long. Can't wait for the next installment in this series.

    Dang, great episode of the Marble Kingdom series! King Gunner Sexton X has to be the most terrifying king so far, he might even stand a chance if not win against Drewdrinks himself. Maybe even Pretox at his best (in MK 21 when he gains lvl 8 + him holding his axe by the head). I call Gunner Sexton X's move (where he has the blade inside him (no not in THAT way) and he spins) "The Sword Dance" because it seems fitting with his name (Gunner Sexton is a funky name tbh). Also: YAY Leudbald got revived for a bit and also nice 7 Samurai reference (if it's a reference and not coincidence).

    There were tons of narratives in this run. The bitter fate of both Cyan and Red at each other's hands. The broken kingdom being forced upon Kroma and figuring out how he was definitely NOT meant for the throne, but the battlefield. Queen IridumSky's calculated training of an army, only to be forced to flee for her life while her army was away, having to learn how to live life constantly on the run, and in the moment (I love her confrontation with the last green general in the mountains, there had to be a plot point there somewhere.) Then we have Gunner Sexton, who became an absolute monster in combat, who acted callously to his troops the entire video, using them as tools to fuel his ultimate rise to power and throwing them away when they had outlived their usefulness, literally employing human wave tactics against Blue in one of his final battles. Absolutely brutal. I'd also like to point out that Blue's assassin literally played like an assassin, even having a whole training arc until he attempted to assassinate Gunner Sexton.

I wasn’t expecting anything, and when King Gunner Sexton X got kicked out of his castle, I figured the end was near. I proceeded to watch in shock and awe as he slowly leveled up, using his soldiers as tools to gain back his kingdom. He stormed a castle by himself, and gained back his kingdom. I was overjoyed; only for my joy to be crushed under the boots of nearly fifty men trying to take the castle back from my king who had worked so hard to earn it. Then I watched, in a mix of giddiness and awe, as my king raised his sword and slaughtered an entire army. And when he got kicked out of his castle again, he did not stop until he was the last marble standing in this unforgiving, bloody world.

I was skeptical about the orb of doom at first, but it makes things _so much_ more fluid and interesting. Really, genuinely great stuff. My only real criticism is that the fences on the farm map are awful and need to be changed or removed.

    I want to point out the inconsequential and funny life of the lone adventurer Jyar and what happened with him...
    Jyar, the lone adventurer with the worst kind of luck imaginable, begins his story in the most fitting way-following his prince into battle against the SEXTON at 21:17. Naturally, the army is promptly demolished. Jyar, ever the survivor (read: expert escape artist), manages to limp back home, his mind racing with how he's going to explain the prince's unfortunate death. But just as he's preparing his tragic news report for the king, he sees King Kroma, already lounging in his newly taken castle after absolutely butchering the Green King and the entire royal family. 22:41
    Now Greenland-oh, sorry, just "Green" (no land)- is basically just Jyar and two other dudes who are probably regretting every life choice that led them to this moment. With literally no qualifications other than being the last men standing, the trio embark on a new mission: defeat the local bandits. It goes exactly as you'd expect. Everyone gets butchered, and Jyar, our master of barely surviving, once again makes a glorious retreat, setting a personal record for near-death experiences. 23:49.
    Not one to let his string of barely-escapes define him, Jyar stumbles into a duel with an orange captain named Real Titty. It's the most boring, inconsequential duel in history. Picture two sloths trying to slap each other in slow motion-yeah, that's the energy. Unsurprisingly, Jyar loses, escapes (again), and probably wonders if he should take up knitting instead. 25:55
    Jyar then takes up the classic adventurer hobby of wandering aimlessly through the countryside. Meanwhile, SEXTON-who may or may not be an actual person-fights the same bandit that had wiped out Jyar’s two followers seconds ago 27:57. Naturally, the bandit barely survives, and Jyar later runs into him, all beaten up and hiding like a mangy dog. Jyar, the opportunist, finishes him off in the most anticlimactic "revenge" ever, akin to stepping on a wounded squirrel. 28:23
    The rest of the world, meanwhile, is on fire. Pink Kingdom sends its massive army to obliterate Purple Castle, resulting in the messiest battle ever. Pink loses their prince (ouch) 29:33 , but wipes out Purple entirely. SEXTON, being the enigmatic opportunist that he is, immediately swoops in to claim the now empty Pink home castle, while the Pink King barely escapes in his pajamas, running toward the newly taken Purple Castle 30:32. When the Pink King arrives at Purple, he finds none of his soldiers there. Why? Because they all bolted back home to recapture their castle from SEXTON, only to get obliterated 31:00. So now, Pink Kingdom consists of one lonely, abandoned king sitting in a castle that's barely his.
    Bandits attack the pink king and force him out of his home 32:11, and now he wanders alone with a loyal farmer he picked up from the country side, then Jyar decides to do something, to attack this king and his loyal farmer. All he manages to do is kill the farmer and the king barely escapes with his life 32:40
    In one rare stroke of good fortune, Jyar somehow survives an encounter with Blue Kingdom's Fen’s squad. But as he's limping away to nurse his wounds, he finds that the Pink Kingdom has abandoned their castle (again). So, he claims it. It’s his now! King Jyar of Pink! But before he can get comfortable, the Pink King and his small army return, see Jyar sitting in their castle, and immediately proceed to demolish him in the most one-sided battle since, well, the last one Jyar was in. And just like that, Jyar's unlucky saga comes to an end. He dies as he lived-caught in a storm of chaos and misunderstanding, mostly running for his life.
    A tragic story... just some unlucky (or lucky?) guy thrown into a world he doesnt understand, and he does things that no one understands... he is unlucky as his prince and army dies fighting SEXTON, as he was getting home he was lucky that he wasnt faster cuz if he entered the castle a second earlier, king Kroma wouldve probably killed him. He was unlucky against the bandit leader as he killed his 2 followers and almost killed Jyar, he was lucky as SEXTON almost killed the bandit leader and left his remains for Jyar.. Jyar wanted to repay SEXTON's kindness by killing his main rival, the pink king when he was alone on the country side, Jyar gets unlucky and fails, then he gets lucky as he escapes Fen's squad, then lucky again to find an undefended castle, but finally one last batch of bad luck as the original occupants came back home, saw him, and then proceeded to kill him...

    I know most of the comments are gonna be about how Gunner Sexton X is the coolest guy on the planet, which is true, but I'd like to highlight how you can kind of see character development on IridiumSky. She was content to sit on her laurels and throw mountains of bodies at a problem until it was solved. But after that plan failed and left her wandering the land, she started to become a competent warrior in her own right. In the end, it wasn't enough to stop Gunner Sexton X, but I was rooting for her.

    Colors of characters that are the bests in this episode
    Red - Aeaces
    He defended his king along with other kingsguard but both of them were slain by cyan kingsguards duo, Aeaces managed to pull it off which made Saytr retreat, TheDragonWarden III chose to not retreat but he just ended up being slain by him.
    His last stand begins during purple invasion in red castle, He fought them but eventually died.
    Orange - King Aquatic III, Juey, & Jayhemma
    Eh, Oranges aren’t the best but it’s impressive they survive longer than what oranges did in previously episodes.
    King Aquatic III & Juey worked together along with Jayhemma & oranges to protect each other.
    They were eventually slain by the almighty king gunner sexton the most successful king.
    Yellow - KING GUNNER SEXTON X
    King gunner sexton x is just by far one of the best solo marbles and also probably not a great leader of the color (yellow) because he lost his armies
    His progress of making him the strongest begins after his own castle was destroyed.
    He lost his armies but without that cut, he managed to pull out his rage mode making him the strongest marble (maybe if he could 1v1 drewdrinks or Ellioteaster) (I said ellioteaster because he beaten Askgar)
    Green - Captain JYAR VII
    He may not be the best like rest of them but he tries to survive longer after the greens extinction, but he managed to take over a town and then was killed by the Converted orange spearman named Mop Man.
    Cyan - Saytr & TheDragonWarden III
    These two failed to protect their king Wheezer II but after that they chose to engage just to abandon the castle to let it be destroyed by itself.
    They both attacked the red castle but dragonwarden III was killed and Saytr was also killed by reds.
    Blue - King Kroma
    Honorable Mention - Leudbald (hey it’s the big guy again)
    King Kroma was engaged to fight the colors but after that time, Blue castle was taken over by oranges which leads to blues extinction.
    He became the king afterwards, Captain GgBt IV have died, Now King Kroma becomes a little stronger and he fights the greens in their castle and then remains there until the castle has been destroyed and moved to different castle to fight the magentas.
    And then he got the marbles ready for the combat and managed to get Leudbald summoned and retreated to Kroma.
    But somehow King Gunner Sexton X plays an extreme game with King Kroma, Leudbald, and blues, And they all died in the extreme way.
    Purple - Dazze II
    None of purples were the best but Dazze II somehow ordered purple marbles to stay in archer town until the town got destroyed.
    They attacked the reds in their castle to take over it until the castle was also destroyed and were killed by king gunner sexton x.
    Magenta - Queen Iridumsky IV
    The fact that she ordered her marbles to stay in her castle until hundreds of them came and was able to bring them all out is impressive.
    But King Gunner Sexton X just decided to ruin the fun after he saw her lots of her marbles engaged.
    Queen Iridumsky IV escaped from him but she saw magenta marbles in the next castle for the Queen so she decided to remain in the castle.
    But King Kroma had to take over the castle from her, and was quickly killed by yellows.
    Best Character of this episode - King Gunner Sexton X (only one for now because King Gunner Sexton X is mostly a solo marble that is able to accomplish things, and even Yellow has finally got another real win)
    Honorable Mentions - Aeaces, Captain JYAR VII, Saytr, TheDragonWarden III, King Kroma, Leudbald, & Queen Iridumsky IV.
    Also legends say that King Gunner Sexton X is fighting the bandit armies

    eight kingdoms fight for the land, one pretended to be a plant
    A king was slain truth be told, the revenge was sweet but minions were bold
    The castle had fallen the king was alive, thus the invasion began to pillage and thrive
    One to be conquered the other was slain, the prince cried in agony filled with pain
    Wizard and king two of a kind, a knife pierced one forever blind
    Two met a similar fate, battered bruised and filled with hate
    Experienced alone two armies came by, the ghosts of the past was the only ally
    The lone king travelled the land, The other took a castle, picked by hand
    A large army finally unleashed upon, annihilation followed and a kingdom was gone
    Mistakes were made the conquerer came, fleeing was correct, she was not to blame
    Retaliation, all on their mind, a quick grave however was all they would find
    A failed campaign alone and in vain, The barbarians right on her lane
    The final stand for the one who lament, at last, a rivalry end
    Thus concludes his tale or so they say, perhaps a new duel by the heavens on the way?
    We of course will look forward, for the stories and tales are all a piece of art
    There is something more could you be kind, to answer my question that bugs my mind?
    Kingdoms rise and fall, yet nobody fixed that damn fence for all!
    Decades pass by an era of war, the everlasting fence the deadliest by far
    heroes and soldiers stuck by a piece of wood, suggesting noncollision would end it for good
    Honestly speaking I quite like it, amusing to see for they don't fit
    Don't chance the fence keep it as it is, it might become a feature I will dearly miss.
    Anyway, thanks for the latest MK! I will always be looking forward for the next one at the end of each day!

    The cursed king…
    The Yellow empire wasn’t known for being a prosperous nation, like the Pink nation that grew in enormity. They remained to themselves, but the population never knew what their leader was up to. The yellow king secluded himself in his library and learned of a cult that sought power through sacrifice; and thus, the yellow king sold every soul in his empire to gain forbidden strength only a demon could poses. Some people that thought themselves brave enough tried to look past the king’s awful history, but they learned as well that the yellow king’s lust for power meant that they’d be consumed by his rage as well. Eventually, the yellow king had a reputation for being demonically possessed, and thus was named “The cursed king.”

    Призрачные мечи Гуннера Секстона X стали отличным подспорьем для быстрого повышения уровня за счёт больших нетренированных армий, если только мне это не кажется.
    Пускай и маленький урон, но в сочетании с иными усилениями жёлтого короля и его уровнем он стал бичом для огромных скоплений марблов и даже чуть более сильных противников, что позволило ему, как мне кажется, выжить и достигнуть восьмого уровня впоследствии. Как пример, могу привести тот момент, когда при контр-осаде города армией Розовых Гуннер Секстон чуть не помер от розового мага (страшная сила, эти ваши маги!), и спасся от него только благодаря своим двум мечам, которые удачно убрали с поля битвы эту магическую помеху. В добавок к своему утверждению скажу, что на самом деле жёлтый король относительно часто встречался с упомянутыми мной "большими армиями" и правда за их счёт получил невероятную фору, как я и сказал ранее.
    Нисколько не жалею, что с самых первых боёв короля Гуннера стал фанатом жёлтых и до конца ненавидел синего короля Крому!
    Великий жёлтый генерал из "Marble Kingdoms 4" (которого я называю Ахиллесом, так как тогда имён ещё не было, но в комментариях я видел вариант его наименования "Йеллардом") определённо бы гордился тем, к какому величию привёл жёлтое королевство Гуннер Секстон X спустя множество серий и веков с момента его смерти в бою против оранжевого дуэта!

    I think Queen Iridiumsky was the more interesting of the monarchs, she fought for her levels, her power, far more than Kroma or Gunner. Gunner had the fortune to pick off a bunch of 1-marble bandits and was able to pick up an absurd amount of buffs, and Kroma just kept getting king upgrades after king upgrade. Born on third base and people act like they hit a triple.
    Iridiumsky fought tooth and nail every battle, and if she'd had even a few of the buffs the other two had would've made a much better story.

    Как по мне тема с Рагнарёком в виде отдельного шарика на карте не самый лучший вариант, ведь из-за этого мелкого шарика вначале уничтожаются множество королевств, что сокращает хронометраж и возможное время для появления новых героев и их раскачки на более высокие уровни.
    Также хочется сказать, что по моему мнению разбросать по всей карте множество мелких отрядов бандитов было жовольно рискованным решением, но таким образом появляется куда больше шансов на появление героя, из-за характеристик, которые тот может получить из этих мелких шариков разбросанных по карте.
    Эти два изминения в игре довольно радикаоьны и рискованы, но как говорится: «Кто не рискует, тот не пьёт шампанского.», а так новый эпизод Marble Kingdoms получился хорошим, даже появился новый сильнейший шарик в истории этих мини фильмов, которого вряд-ли кто-то сможет победить из всех известных героев, кроме мага из 22 эпизода, но тут спорно и всё будет решать обстаятельства.

Cause I feel like there's a lot that could be done there, more than just charge or to me, like encircle target, block exits, ranged units back, formations and grouping etc. That'd be more geared towards bigger fights as opposed to the small skirmishes, but that'd be pretty cool, cause a particularly good commander could become a crowd favorite and it'd introduce an element of paeudo-tactics that are somewhat missing.

    Its kinda strange that, in this episode, Leudbald is the only summoned past hero here. Everything else is current but him.

    I imagine the yellow king getting a movie title like “The Last Yellow” or something.

    I actually have an idea. The "train" can actually be set to give newly trained soldiers initial experience. The more times the "train" is performed, the higher the level of the newly trained soldiers will be. Not only will the high-level soldiers have the opportunity to catch up with the high-level strongmen, but the high-level strongmen can also gain more experience to upgrade by defeating the high-level soldiers. In addition, I think the destruction of the city appears too early, and I think the reconstruction CD can be added to the city. However, the soldiers trained in the rebuilt city are level one, and the effect of "train" is reset. I think it is too sad that the winner in the end rules the ruins.
