Scenario Review: DiD 11 - Descent into Darkness

[zookeeper]

Actually, the rats, bats and spiders are supposed to be guardians (as in, not move until you come within range) instead of all charging at you in the beginning, but someone broke that part of the scenario in 1.13 so that's why it's so hard. Expect it fixed in the next release...

Actually, it's broken in 1.12.6 as well, replay is attached.

(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on?
Version 1.12.6, Challenging.

(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
3

(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Pretty clear.

(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Alright, starts off strong, then sharply declines.

(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
Counting how many trolls were within striking range of my non-ghost-units.

(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
7, the exploration and the surprise at the lake are nice. I forgot about the other surprise, might replay it soon.

(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
Maybe make it a bit harder. If you have accumulated a decent roster, the missions is extremely easy in the current state.

(8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?
Making very stupid recall choices.

No, that replay shows them only attacking when you come in range of them. The aforementioned bug was about them coming at you even from halfway across the map.
