The Sojournings of Grog (3.6.1 is out)

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
there is terrain advantage and then there is home terrain advantage, which may or may not be that
pros: ambushes, availability of reinforcements, healing
cons: bored/complacent guards, infighting, inhabitants may be friendly to strangers or hungry for news or trade
im not against Elyssa picking up a new spell if it fits the campaign, but i wonder if the scenario has exhausted the possibilities for balancing without it. i suppose at this point you dont want to rewrite so the spell is easiest way to go.

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
In past, I already tried to rework it once. Let's say that me and Eros decided to revert to the old map.tr0ll wrote: i suppose at this point you dont want to rewrite so the spell is easiest way to go.

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Finally tried the new version of "The Long Way home". On Hard, with just the initial Dust Devil, my main challenges were not knowing what to expect (since I'm not familiar with the Kalifate) and bad luck. On lower difficulties it might be a good idea to put an oasis or two in the north part of the map, but apart from that I think it's fine as it is now.
By the way, anyone else see a graphical glitch with one of the Elder Falcons near the end of the replay (specifically the Falcon that's in the hills and attacks another unit in the hills)?

That is why Elyssa can summon more than one Dust Devil.shadowblack wrote:On Hard, with just the initial Dust Devil, my main challenges were not knowing what to expect (since I'm not familiar with the Kalifate) and bad luck.
Thank you, I will certainly do this correction.shadowblack wrote:On lower difficulties it might be a good idea to put an oasis or two in the north part of the map, but apart from that I think it's fine as it is now.

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Imo 2nd scenario is fine on medium, Kalifa stupidly focused my dust devils and like third of them was sitting IN the lake doing nothing basically (taking a bath maybe?) I remember similar attitude of bandits in an ooooold version. (when author was still working on it I think)

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Please see my latest comment at https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?18160 . I'm encountering the same bug in all campaigns.

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
I noticed a bug caused by the use of the <i> tag inside your campaign credits. This causes a problem displaying the credits for the entire Wesnoth game inside the help screen. If you click on Contributors inside the help screen, you get a WML error message instead of the credits. Removing <i> tags inside your campaign credits will fix this (unless you have other add-ons installed which use pango markup in their credits too). This seems to be only in the development branch, at least I haven't encountered it in 1.8.

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Thanks, fixed and uploaded. I didn't bumped the version number because it is a too small change to justify this, and there weren't yet other changes.

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
if you dont bump the number, you will have confusion among people whether it was the first edition of that version or the second edition. so i suggest increment the least significant digit or add a 3rd digit if there isnt one - if nothing else it makes progress look faster when digits roll up continuously

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Well, now I got a reason to bump the version number. 2.10.16 is on the 1.9 server . This time, I removed two deprecated macros and three no longer useful Lua tags. I also experimentally replaced the message that allows picking the holy water in the Prologue with a custom Lua dialog. Do you prefer the new dialog, or should I revert to the old one?
I also prepared a text file containing all the dialogues that Daravel didn't yet reviewed, so he don't need to play all the scenarios to rewrite them. Here it is.

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Hi Elvish Hunter, i found a bug in Th Sojournings of Grog: After finishing scenario "Those Sand Strewn Beaches" the message "Illegal tile in map: (Cdr) 'Cdr' The map cannot be loaded".
I'm playing on Wesnoth 1.9.3 (Debian Wheezy).

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Not a bug: a feature. I'm using a terrain (Ruined Desert Castle) that wasn't yet available in 1.9.3. You may want to update your version, since 1.9.7 is out...

Re: The Sojournings of Grog (3.0 on its way)
Hello, just one problem, when the Elves disembark off the ship in scenario 2, some of them get places completely surrounded with Deep water. I can't use them then
Then I got to the feature kaskade found, and so I had to stop. Do you have the old map without the ruined desert castle?
SoG 2.10.16, BfW 1.9.3
