catacombs save corrupt

Post by pete »

Using wesnoth 1.3.13 in Linux, I get a "the file you tried to load is corrupt" message when the scenario Catacombs starts. This happens with normal and compressed saves, and also when I just end the previous scenario (so without trying to load catacombs save file, just continuing).

I really enjoyed playing the campaign, btw.

Sounds like the same error which affects Liberty, which is apparently a consequence of some of the later version's changes.

In 1.3.14 this error is gone - Catacombs will load! :)

Seeing how we are in late .rc now, I have uploaded what is, or at least should be a 1.4 compatible Story of the Wose.

Sacrifice a unit or two to slow the orcs down. Run right as fast as possible with the rest of your army, fastest units in front. Where the terrain backing changes to become more rough is safe. There's plenty of time, even a wose can make it (and sould, you will need them).

Could you please tell me where I can get .po file for "The story of the Wose"? I would like to translate this campaign. Wescamp is empty.

Since the dialog is essentially finished, yes now would be a good time.
BTW, what is .po file?

Hello and thanks for this campaign. I think it's very well done. I especially like the new line of mages.

But I think the new mages are overpowered. They have many valuable special abilities (high resistance to magic, magic melee, higher defense) most other mages don't have. Therefore I'd like to suggest to change their offensive capabilities as follows:

Wood Mage:
cold missile: 3*6

Green Mage:
cold missile: 4*7

Life Mage:
cold missile: 4*10
lightbeam: 4*7

Hi rogo.

As you noticed, the mages are quite a bit overpowered. It's kind of intentional for two reasons. One, this unit was originally intended as a single-instance character for a campaign that failed around 1.2 era and I didn't feel like changing it. Two, if you ever find the alternate ending, you'll find you need every bit of power you can get.

Um... How do you win the second scenario on hard with the starting gold?

The AI is significantly better in 1.5. It may not be possible anymore to do it with the starting gold. I usually accomplish it with ~120 gold.
