There wasn't a TH this week so there wasn't that much info regarding the game overall, but we still had the Town Square, where we did get some important info regarding the release of Land 1.5, so let's start with that:
So, we already knew that Land 1.5 was for sure going to be released in August as Weirdbeard announced that officially on the TH last week but now we also know that we are going to get a playable version of 1.5 (on the Mav Server) as soon as this weekend. This is very exciting news since this means that we will probably not have to wait until the last day of August to get it live unless the testing goes terribly wrong which I hope will not be the case. Another interesting discussion which stemmed from a question asked by a viewer was regarding Research and the point of doing it early. It seems that there won't be any current obvious benefit for people who will go straight for research instead of grain or SPS, however, Aggroed did mention that Research will be needed for the unlocking of stuff later down the road, I suppose in Land 2.0, so it remains to be seen what the best approach for that will be. I am interested in doing research on 1 or 2 of my plots even though I do not have any magical plots, which are the plots best suited for doing research on.

Another thing which has been released since my report last week was another post about the Splinters of Praetoria this time showcasing the Kingdom of Lyveria
All the banners have been really cool and unique so far. You can check out the story of this Splinter HERE.
Now for some updates related to my Land journey. I currently own a total of 5 plots:
I was the first person to strike a deal with Gank and become a proud denizen of Gankland, and I am now finally done with the acquisition of max GF common Monsters for the 5 plots I have. Here's what I have planned to use on my plots for the time being:
4 Venari Heatsmiths, 2 Pelcor Mercenaries, 2 Pelacor Bandits, 4 Pelacor Deceivers, 2 Gargoya Lions, 1 Crypt Beetle, 2 Hardy Stonefish, 1 Kulu Swimhunter, 1 Radiated Scorcher, 3 Gargoya Scrappers and 3 Vampire Bats. This way I cover the 10% bonus on each plot for 23 slots and the other two slots are currently left with 0% bonus (or penalty) since I'm using the two neutral Gargoya Lions on them.
The stuff I have left to do currently is to get more DEC (of course) cause as most people, I never have enough DEC.
The other important thing is to decided if I want to use both of my Runi on Land. This is a tough one since I really like playing my Runi. I will use at least of them on the rare plot I have, that's certain.
Finally, a quick yolo Battle I had in Aftersound's Diamond level tourney finals the other day.
I took a leap of faith and you can check out the link to see if it worked out in the end.
Well this is it for now - yet another exciting week in the world of Splinterlands is upon us. Play More, Bot Less! <3
Over and Out,
