1. hard 112a
2. 7
3. clear enough
4. clear and interesting enough
5. Masses of red mages, that damn giant spider at the end, and the extremely unfriendly terrain.
6. 2. I just generally hate scenarios where your units crawl along at 1 or 2 hexes at a time.
7. It's an underground map... can't exactly change much about it.

Well, you can always add more dirt and sand and stuff so that your units sometimes move faster.

(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on?
Medium difficulty, version 1.1.2a

(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
6/10 - slow moving, magical enemies, didn't recall right troops

(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Fine fine (silly question, they're always clear).

(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Liked it. Although the idea of a couple of mages being banished to the sewers seems a little...unusual.

(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
One word: mages.

(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
6/10 - All the mages and the bad terrain made it a little annoying.

(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
More dirt for better movement.

I can agree partially :)
It depends on the scenario. The ones where I was hunted with mass units was quite fun.

But those scenarios where I have to move my units tediously towards a goal, is rather annoying, since it just takes time without much real action or need on my part to think about it at all :(

(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on?
1.2.3, Hard

(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
7

(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
I was a bit lost as to where I was supposed to get Haldric, but I guess that's intentional.

(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Two token villains after a mysterious gem. It's fine, but some more dialogue from their quarter would be useful. And as with the previous level, some dialogue after the two are taken down would be helpful to mark the "heroic" requirements.

"It would not be very heroic if Haldric wasn't the one to lead the party out of the sewers, now would it?"
hehe

(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
I sent a minimalist force to the eastern mage: an Archmage, a footpad and a heavy infantry (yes, I brought one with me), which did fine for a while, simply by taking it slowly and picking off his minions. But when my main force took out the other mage, I'm guessing he got a gold boost because he went berserk and started spawning all these bats and magi. They ate my footpad and would have got the heavy infantry too if it weren't for the fact that he was almost levelled. I only just managed to take him down. Also, scorpions are surprisingly strong.

(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
6. Dislike dungeon crawls, generally.

(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
More dirt on the map.

(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on?
hard 1.4-1
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
10!!!! WTF!!! Read (5)
(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Clear, but bugged? It says defeat both brothers and escape... but in the end, I only killed 1 and escaped.
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
It's pretty plain... and seems like an unnecessary scenario.
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
Ok... this scenario is seriously freaking impossible for me... (although above guys finished it on hard. lol) Up to this point, I didn't really make too many mages, so I'm lacking some pure power house damagers to begin with. I'm not about to start the entire campaign over. So, I got mostly chaotic units to deal with it and 1 arch mage + white + starter units. I also had minimum cash (ie 100), so I barely had any units. Honestly, with such few units I had, I couldn't even really spare 1 unit for death. Every small path, took literally forever to plow through b/c there's absolutely no space to move to. The enemies were hitting me from back from brother on the east with enemies crawling thru the cracks and front endlessly and I couldn't even progress no matter how much damage I do. Splitting my forces to hit both brothers at once was a suicide. I did finally push enough to kill the first brother around turn ~15 after several tries. Then, another 10 turns barely moving thru that 1 space large spot... Thank god I at least had one arch mage... There was literally lines of enemies piled up in that small hole with me. Then the lovely spider pops out (which was actually not a problem compared to the huge army they were dishing on me). I managed to push thru to the east brother from the back ~ turn 36.... Yes... it ends at 36... I could see him, but not get to him. This was my 7th game or something already and loaded each turns like 10 times xD. Then I just moved my haldric to the exit and it ended without killing the 2nd brother. o.O I thought I was supposed to kill both. Anyways, that's how I won...?
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
2 >.> I really hate narrow paths where enemies are constantly flooded.
(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
Make the so called "open" path more open... It's way too cramped and way too many places with only 1 square spot. More starter cash and/or less east brother's unit #s....

Not too bad a scenario
