It's on the campaign server for 1.0 (Get more campaigns)

If you have 1.1, then go to campaigns.wesnoth.org and click on its name.

Yeah, I'm still here. I was thinking about continuing to write the story, however there was some announcement from Assassin. I'll still help out, but this is like my first time posting anything in at least a month. So I'll help.

Good, please continue with the story.

I'll submit all of your rescriptings and post them on the unstable campaign server tomorrow.

For those who are interested i updated the .cfgs to v1.2 WML syntax (wesnoth 1.1.5 or greater). They are in the next relase of my Extended Era (v0.6, not yet released).
For better playability, i changed the Enchanteress line ranged damage type from cold to fire.
I thought it would be more interesting to do this with the wizard line, but it does clash with their background.
I also implemented the Cavestalk ability.

You can grab all the files here

ILikeProgramming, are you still there? I have some ideas to throw at you. However, you haven't responded to the requests I PMed you. Just let me know if we are going to continue on A New Threat ourselves.

I am still out there. Other than a a computer ban for the past 5 days, I check this forum regularly.

I replied to your PMs. The thing is, two of your scenarios are in backwards order to what I have. I was awaiting your reply.

Now that the there are custom abilities, should I implement cavestalk (Hunter line is invisible in caves)?

Once The scenario problem is cleared up, I'll package everything, add various translations, and release.

Backwards order? Which two?

ILikeProgramming · Post by **ILikeProgramming** » June 20th, 2006, 3:26 pm

I had two of them in backwards order, don't know why. It seems that it was my mistake, I'll fix everything. There will be a new release on the unstable server tomorrow.

I'm going to pm you some ideas for where I want the campaign to go in the next scenario, let me know what you think.

About the units stats, here the one i currently use, which are currently unbalanced, especially the fighter that do too much damage for a lvl 1.
It's the one i found except i switched the enchanteresses ranged damage to fire and implemented cavestalk.
Here there are :
Lizard Rider -> Lizard Master
22 gold 35 gold
32 hp 48 hp
30 xp 100 xp
8 moves (lizard) 8 moves (lizard)
9-2 melee pierce charge (deathlance) 12-2 melee pierce charge (deathlance)
4-3 melee blade (claw) 7-3 melee blade (bite)

Fighter -> Warrior -> Corsair
15 gold 30 gold 63 gold
30 hp 42 hp 61 hp
35 xp 90 xp 100 xp
5 moves (defoot) 5 moves (defoot) 5 moves (defoot)
5-5 melee blade (sword) 6-6 melee blade (sword) 7-7 melee blade (sword)
-> Captain -> Marshal
L2 Leadership L3 Leadership
37 gold 75 gold
38 hp 60 hp
100 xp 100 xp
5 moves (defoot) 5 moves (defoot)
7-4 melee blade (sword) 11-4 melee blade (sword)
8-3 melee pierce (spear) 10-4 melee pierce (spear)
8-2 ranged pierce (spear)

Hunter -> Shadow -> Stalker
cavestalk cavestalk cavestalk
18 gold 33 gold 55 gold
25 hp 38 hp 50 hp
35 xp 70 xp 100 xp
6 moves (deelusive) 6 moves (deelusive) 6 moves (deelusive)
5-2 melee blade (dagger) 10-2 melee blade (dagger) 15-2 melee blade (dagger)
4-3 ranged pierce poison (bow) 5-4 ranged pierce poison (crossbow) 5-6 ranged pierce poison (crossbow)

Wizard -> Sorcerer -> Warlock
18 gold 39 gold 80 Gold
30 hp 45 hp 71 hp
50 xp 90 xp 100 xp
5 moves (desmall) 5 moves (desmall) 5 moves (desmall)
6-4 melee cold drain (touch)
8-3 ranged cold magic (magic) 11-3 ranged cold magic (magic) 14-3 ranged cold magic (magic)

Enchantress -> Sorceress -> Cleric
- heals cures
20 gold 42 gold 60 gold
30 hp 50 hp 65 hp
55 xp 120 xp 100 xp
5 moves (desmall) 5 moves (desmall) 5 moves (desmall)
6-2 melee impact (mace) 7-4 melee impact (mace) 9-4 melee impact (mace)
6-3 ranged fire magic (magic) 7-4 ranged fire magic (magic) 10-3 ranged fire magic (magic)

Noble -> Lord -> High Lord
- L2 leadership L3 leadership
22 gold 50 gold 100 gold
30 hp 40 hp 60 hp
40 xp 120 xp 100 xp
5 moves (defoot) 5 moves (defoot) 5 moves (defoot)
4-3 melee blade (sword) 5-5 melee blade (sword) 11-4 melee blade (sword)
8-1 melee impact first (shield) 14-1 melee impact (shield) 20-1 melee impact first (shield)
12-1 melee pierce (shield)

You may notice there is a problem with the Noble line that loose firstsrike at lvl 2.
I also fail to see the shield logic : why firstrike and why pierce.
Usually the shield is an impact attack with the slows special, sometime with an high defense_weight value so it is used in most cases for defense (shield damages*defense_weight > sword damages).

Some other point might be improved : Hp transitions like Captain -> Marshall or Sorcerer -> Warlock are a bit extreme, a spear impact makes more damage than a sword impact with the Captain while it's the contrary with the Marshal, and the Shadow and Stalker crossbows are quite fast for crossbow weapons.

I'll probably make some proposals soon so they would be less unbalanced in MP.

Change them up as much as you want, at least that's what I say. I don't care how unbalanced/balanced they are.
