The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

but the enemy AIs concentrate on me as my camp is pretty much in the middle of a triangle of enemy camps (and not in the centre of a wood, so their troops can get to me more easily) If you play on hard, as I do, and you realize the terrain is unfavorable, you do NOT need to stay in your keep; recru...

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 8; several attempts needed, and a couple of save-loads and heavy losses on the successful attempt. (3) Clear. (4) Clear. Not sure why I'm meant to be interested in this battle at all - it's a generic elves vs orcs interlude (as far as you know until the end of the scenario)...

As that was something of an epic wrong way to play it, I thought I would post the replay.

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 6. I finished on the first real attempt with just a few save-loads for tactical mistakes. With heavy losses (very heavy if the south garrison are included - I lost all the loyalist units except those in villages that I didn't spring until the end). (3) Clear (4) Good, and a...

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0
(2) 3 - completed first time.
(3) Clear
(4) The dialogue continues to be a strength of this campaign.
(5) Not knowing what I'm facing when I'm recruiting.

(8) No.

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 3 - lots of gold from the previous scenario so I could afford a big, expendable army. (3) Clear. (4) Good. (5) I over-recruited on ghosts, which proved a bit expensive against the enemy spamming dark adepts. (6) 7 - this campaign continues to mix it up with different troops...

Looking at others' comments (I always post my own first), I should note that I didn't find the secret passage. Given that it's in one of a dozen valleys into the mountains, and I'm pressed by skeletons the whole time, I'm not surprised that I didn't stop to explore that one. I managed to beat the le...

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0; Delfador at L3. (2) 9 - first attempt aborted, second attempt made with massive amounts of save-loading. Third attempt made without save/load but very lucky with allies leveling. (3) Okay (4) EPIC When I reach the signpost, it tells me to go get an artifact because a ghost men...

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 2 - recall a couple of mages, and a knight for an impact damage sink, and cross. (3) Okay - I wasn't sure whether to believe that the scenario would end when I reached the castle (it seemed like Delfador was having a wishful thinking moment), but that's what it said and it ...

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0
(2) 2
(3) Clear
(4) Fine
(5) No major issues. I went for breaking the stones, and finished with 1 turn spare.
(6) 6 - I like the variation of having no enemy leaders.
(7) -
(8) No

I played again, paying the protection fee. (1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 6 - completed with a bit of save-loading. (5) Having only 47 gold is... limiting. No healing or any mages for the first half, just a few raw recruit spearmen to back up Lionel in the fight in the centre. (6) 6 - it's tricky, and th...

(refusing to pay for protection) (1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 4 - I completed it, with losses, on the first attempt. (3) Clear (4) Clear, not hugely interesting as these guys aren't involved in the wider plot, but it works for 1 level. (5) I came in with only one white mage, so my party heading north h...

(4) Very clear and interesting.
(7) No.

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 4 (3) Clear (4) Okay (5) The orcs chew through your units fast during that first night; I could barely put together a defensive line at second watch. I came in with just one white mage, not really enough with so much action and assassins. But, with losses, I completed it on...

(1) Great Mage, 1.8.0 (2) 2 (3) Clear (4) Fine. (5) No problems really. Pick your terrain and use the day/night cycle and it goes smoothly. (6) 9 - it's an interesting large open layout, with lots of choice of where and when to fight, when to hold back and when to pounce. (7) Good as it is. Urthaka-...
