Great Legend Era Campaigns

[Lord-Knightmare]

In the The Invincible Wall, when the twilight forest dies, there is still trees shown along the side hexes that one can't travel on, it kind of ruins the effect.

That's the problem with the map editor, not mine.

Also, even on the hardest setting, this campaign is very easy, your allies do most of the work. So one just needs to rush with them but stay behind them mostly. And the ones where they fight each other, you just let them and attack the odd ones out.

Try playing on the lastest version. I changed the scenario a little.

It would be nice if there were multiple paths or hidden characters etc. Are the other campaigns as linear as TIW?

I made some edits to TroG, but all of them are linear. My next project for the GLE series is going to feature multiple paths, but you have to wait for the release though.

Actually, it's a limitation of [terrain_mask], not the editor. It's possible to work around it - take a look at scenarios 8a,8b and 8c of Roar of the Woses for an example.

Easter eggs like hidden characters, items, multiple ways to win etc are nice too. Like perhaps you can hold a area, and win that way, but if you defeat all the bosses (very hard) or some other objective, you unlock a hidden new path in the campaign.

Thanks for the idea(s). I will implement them in my latest project.

I would mention easter eggs of the more traditional definition are nice too, fun scripted events that don't necessarily help you win or hurt you, or change the game overall in any way, but are fun/funny. Most such could probably be isolated events, for example: You captured or moved onto X village with X character who mentioned some time ago (maybe a map or two ago so that you have to remember) this was his/her home town, players are treated to a funny cut scene between that character and Mom who believes the character ran out to avoid chores or some other silly reason to leave home.

But maybe some that change how the game ends slightly, even if it seems insignificant at the time. A good example of this would be the game chronotrigger, you can save a characters mom from a accident, but you don't have to, and there is no special reward for doing so (well there is a reward afterwards, but you get it regardless, just for making this event happen) At the end of the game it allows you to wander around and talk to characters and see how things turned out. One version you talk to the mom and she has no legs, the other one where you save her, at first she seems to have no legs, but then suddenly she stands up in a gotcha moment.

[Lord-Knightmare]

You mean easter eggs like:
* the player rescues a unit from a trap, that unit becomes loyal, but does not influence a particular ally or enemy whatsoever.

[Hex]

Well rescuing a unit does influence things one way or another, it gives you a unit, so that is not what I meant with the last thing I was talking about (not that I am against players getting occasional rewards) Also, without further detail, that example sounds a bit boring, even if it weren't visible on the map (and if it was visible, it wouldn't be a "Easter egg")

[Lord-Knightmare]

@ Hex: Okay, now I understand what you're referring to. I can put that in a scenario for my lastest WIP campaign.

New versions uploaded for:
1. The Invincible Wall
2. The Rise of Genesis.
3. The Wesfolk Prince

Please update.

A beta version of the 6th GLE campaign might be uploaded in three month's time.

I just finished TIW this week and wanted to let you know I enjoyed it quite a bit. Having the allies along for the ride all the time was a nice change from "you vs. the world".

Some feedback on level 2:
It was a little too easy, since the elves and bandits in the east focused on each other almost exclusivly. Moving the elves north and/or increasing their starting gold may help.

Final level:
This one gave me a good challenge. I noticed that units on a hex that becomes part of the wall can still move off, which gives us time to save them before more walls come up. However towards the end I saw units get trapped inside the wall with no adjacent empty tile to move to. It would be cool if instead of (dirt -> cave wall -> final wall) there was a more gradual progression of (dirt -> hill -> mountain -> cave wall -> final wall).

AI Feedback:
When set to Defensive, they still send all the troops out to get killed. Maybe one more option of Hold Ground to keep units from moving any further away from their general.

Looking forward to playing the other campaigns in the series!

Thank you for posting feedback.
People still play this? Wow, I thought my first campaign was long forgotten. Anyways, I will try to find a new maintainer for this one since I'm busy with my latest campaign nowadays.

People continue to not only play, but also to translate.

There is one question.
I translated the era and translation work. I translated company The_Invincible_Wall and it does not work.
This translation is not the first time I have, I do not know the reason for this.

I finished Rise of Genesis today. Feedback for each mission is inside the spoiler. Things "in quotes" are suggested changes to the dialogue.
I found a good balance using a mix of all 3 melee horsemen types with pikemen (for their defense against pierce).

Spoiler:

Wesnoth: 1.10.3
Campaign Version: 1.1.1?
Difficulty: Hard

Mission 1
+ The dialogue was fun to read.
+ I accidentally lost a Loyal guy, and it was nice for there to be a goodbye for him.

Mission 2
- "... The men didn't mind because they were used to this kind of sight." or "these kinds of sightings."
+ The Lord-Knightmare tip was helpful.
+ This was a refreshing change from normal mission objectives

Mission 3
- "... The only way through is past that fortress..."
+ More loyal troops are always good
- Scenario objective said "kill all enemies" but it ended when all leaders were dead.
- Good difficulty, but it ended quickly after the huge wave of Elves died.
finished on turn 11/25

Mission 4
- Sylyan "... snowball's chance in hell that ..."
* finished on turn 13/16
* I got the bonus objective, maybe this one was too easy.

Mission 5
- This is the same song as mission 3
- Not hard enough
* Finished 15/25

Mission 6
+ Super hard compared to the previous level, mostly due to map design and # of turns
+ I've never seen so many houses
* Finished 17/18

Interlude
- "...where the 'Elders' were expecting him."

Mission 7
+ I like the map layout.
+ Pretty good difficulty due to layout and enemy units.
* It seems like Cpt. Asgard on team Black should get the loyal tag and be strong or something.
* I got lucky on the way Black interpreted the orders I gave him.
* Finished 16/25
* If this map is supposed to be harder then Blue should have a higher base gold/turn.

Mission 8
+ Good gold for Pink
+ I really liked defending Genesis
- Black's starting location kinda guarantees that he dies. There should be some dialogue for when he does.
+ Everything about White was cool
- Hide White on the Status screen so their arrival is more of a surprise.
* Finished 20/25
+ Good story ending.

Hi, I am not quite sure if this string is still active. However I have a question about your campaign The Invincible Wall. I played it before and honestly I loved it so much I haven't wanted to play another. But I had to factory reset my computer due to outside complications and wasn't able to find your campaign again until now.... One problem though, I downloaded the file and put it in my add ons folder and proceeded to try and play it. When it was loading though it said "unknown scenario: Elvish_Invasion" I am not sure if something is wrong with my version or if I need to do something with the file. Any help is greatly appreciated. P.S. I am severely new to this forum thing so I don't know how to post like images of what is happening. I'm also running Battle for Wesnoth v1.8.2 because I know that's when this add on came out.

Firstly, welcome to the Forums
I was away from the forums on account of my real life, but I guess am back...sort of. Anyways, The Invincible Wall...had actually undergone an overhaul some months after its release and was upgraded to 1.10 and was indecisively left there. So, if you want to play it...you have to install the latest of the 1.10.x branch and download the add-on in-game.
