I personally thought it needed a small buff, but I'm not a real expert on MP balancing.

About the error, I'll look into it.

I am working also in proposals for new images for level 2 and 3 falcons. I am not very good at art, but I think it needs it.

I will post them in the Therian faction thread, which I think is the correct place.

There's an EoM art thread as well. Perhaps that's a better place.

I'm not sure who is maintaining EoM right now but when you get around to posting it on the 1.12 server let me know and I'll post Count Kromire there.

I just linted and reuploaded the Era to the 1.12 server. If one of the original authors wants the pbl file, drop me a line.

I am re-uploading Count Kromire however as a note: There are a number of bugs on the Era of Myths side of things. Depreciated description code and some kind of bug on the devling sneaks and blood born among others. I'd appreciate if whomever is currently maintaining this project fix these things up for the sake of my campaign.

EDIT: I suspect that the issue with missing images is a result of the elipse for level 0 creatures. It shouldn't be hard to fix messing around with those.

I fixed the invalid WML found things. (wasn't that hard).
About the other Bug I know nothing... hope you find it ;-)

Can you tell me how I can update the translations?

EDIT:
The other Bug is fixed too, it was this ellipse thing.
If you downloaded the file which I posted here, please redownload it form the add-on server.
I updated the German translation based on the .mo file (with msgunfmt file.mo > file.po). However, there are some places where the translation doesn't appear, I guess because the strings did change.

After 5.14.0b, I changed / fixed the one or other thing, in the end it became quite a lot.
So, here is 5.15.0:

Code: Select all

VERSION 5.15.0
--general changes
*added sounds for poisoning / slowing units
*more use of soundlists
*set defense to 0% for unreachable places for all units
*some gender changes
*fixed some image paths
*added era descriptions

-Therians
*switched to MU's art for the Prairie Falcon, Gyrfalcon and Peregrine Falcon (Thanks Mu!)
*the Therian apprentice line's fireballs are now shown in red
*commented out the offset line for Therians cat / falcon, movement is ok

-Vampires
*the female vampire fledgelings use now the succubus image
*minor animation improvements for the female thinblood line
*gold value of the malborn increased from 7 to 14 (not for wesnoth 1.10)
  (not recruitable, affects only the game-ends-because-of-no-turns-left-situation)

-Wargs
*Wargs got sounds (old ones were broken)
        - non-weapon-attacks use bite.ogg & bite-small.ogg
        - The main Wrag line uses the wolf.die & wold-hit soundlists
        - The stalker line too
        - The wolves use a selection of the higher pitched wolf sounds
        - The blackfur line uses yeti-die.ogg instead of wolf-die-[1~3].ogg

--Multiplayer (not for wesnoth 1.10)
*added Khalifate to the eras with default units
*included mainline multiplayer macros: 
        - leaders have everytime at least 5 MP (affects only the Lorekeeper / Oathkeeper)
        - if the turns run out, a winner will be determined by the game,
          based on gold, the gold value of the units on the field, and the income

--translations:
*added a .pot-file-generator, which contains as well information on how to update translations
*finished German language rework
*litte corrections in English
For wesnoth 1.12 it's on the addon server, for wesnoth 1.10 here (since I can't upload to the server).

Could do list:
Some units lack a description:
- the advanced versions of the windsongs scribe
- the elementals living furnace (fire spirit) and undine (water spirit)
maybe somebody feels creative enough to write them?

Graphics - everytime an improvement

I checked through the code, but I can't resolve it. Also, I'm not very good with WML.

Balance:
Which things could need balance improvements?
(Keep in mind that changes affect as well the count Kromire campaign)

And I'm not so sure if the wolf or the troll sounds are better for the Warg...

I know many Wesnoth players are not familiar with this era, however I will be monitoring this thread. Having no prior obligations to any World Conquest games, I will be hosting and joining scenarios with Ageless Era. This week I will be testing Era of Myths and Era of Magic.
I'm tired.

No problem, and you are welcome. I've been planning out a Windsong campaign recently, so maybe I'll get around to producing a new sprite to replace either the Arbiter or Librarian too. I'm not sure which tbh, if you or any one else have a preference for a weaker looking Arbiter or a stronger looking Librarian.

Well, it took 3 ½ years to get the sprite in ... I think the Librarian looks pretty good for being the top mistress. Can't think of how to make here look even more stronger, and she still looks decent, like a librarian and not like a warrior mage. But, let's see what your intuition tells you.
A new Campaign would be pretty cool. Do you know about The War of the Dragon? It's a Windsong campaign as well. Although I didn't played it yet. (Just telling for the case you didn't hear about it yet, not to discourage you)

I want to say I knew it was Era of Myths but not Windsong, but I seem to recall a campaign were you as Windsong do/can team up with devilings during part of it and I though that was kind of silly. I assume it's War of the Dragon because there probably isn't a lot of Windsong campaigns out there. I think I'll replay it before finishing out my planning stage just to make sure I can diversify the encounters between them as much as is storyline reasonable.

Not looking forward to the scythe either way on the spriting side of things. I've done scythes before, with mixed success, but none even half as good as the current Arbiter's/Librarian's.

I read through the old posts and...
In fact there are just two Campaigns, both written by Velensk, the one mentioned above and Count Kromire, a vampire campaign, where as well Windsong appear. Didn't finish playing that campaign yet, but one of the windsongs appears in both stories. But I think it won't affect your campaign.
There was as well once a devlings campaign, without windsongs I think.
What maybe might help you - Velensk Ideas about a seperate World map.

About the spriting, maybe you can just keep the old scythe?
