Seems it will need more investigation.

Done.

Done. It starts at 30, right?

Changed it to Zorox' fall.

Okay, reduced it to -1 for the first upgrade to attack count.

Yeah, I could do it. I don't want to mess up the commits at the moment, please remind me this in a week if I forget.
Done.

#Blood rain
There might be another way to prevent chapter 9 soloing. I might add a highly frequent trait that would make enemies explode on death (or apply some other penalty to the killer or nearby enemies). This could allow me to restrict the blood rain to only a couple of scenarios to keep it interesting.
Possible death effects:
  • Good old explosion, damaging adjacent enemies
  • Poison to non-poisoned killers, high damage to poisoned killers
  • Lethargy to killer
  • Staying at 1 hp if defeated in retaliation
  • Combinations of properties of these
Edit: 420th page. I hope it will not make this thread look like a stoners' talk.

It starts on 45 (hard difficulty).

EDIT:
I have this question regarding the description of the item 'Crapsack World' (it's an amulet).
'Oh, almighty god, why did you create this world?'
'It was not me. I have a perfect alibi, by the way.'
What is his alibi and how can it be perfect, when there was noone to see him yet? Ha! His alibi must be fake! How do you explain that?! xD

Oh, thanks. I have set the starting value wrong.

Regarding the changes in chapter 9, I think some of them were too hard. Here is my opinion about them:

1.The black soul demons
They were quite powerful, but it's their lethargy that made them harder to kill. Especially the demon overlord and demon despot, they become very nasty once turned into black soul. Currently my strategy is to kill one demon at first, then after defeating the black soul version, I continue to kill the other demon.

2.The flies
This one is more as a nuisance. They were not very hard to kill. But they keep spawning, so just after my units killed the enemy for more than one direction, they get trapped. And just after my unit kill the flies, another one spawn again. They made my units progress through the map very slow, especially in caves. After a while, I get tired of repeatingly kill the flies in order to get and change the cfg files so that the flies will only spawn once.

3.The demon soul
They were not very strong. They also quite easy to kill. I think they are fine and don't have to be changed.

'undead mastery (X)' is explained as 'Adjacent allies will do X% more damage'. I think it should be 'adjacent allied undead', right?

Just played through the Journey South. The scenario description says no early finish bonus but gave me a whopping 9k extra gold for the next one :shock: (tried both mining & seige).

Loving the campaign! More general feedback would be I like having plenty information about scenarios before starting them, and that it feels a wee bit on the easy side.

Also...

- I thought tax collector would generate revenue for your side. It does the opposite (makes more sense, but could clarify the equip description).
- Took some experimenting to figure out how potions work; that the effects are removed whenever a unit advances. This could effect also be made more clear. (current plan is to feed lots of potions to my grand knight :mrgreen: )

Blood rain definitely made me end scenarios sooner. But it was because it was annoying, not because it was preventing me from continuing. It would need to upgrade its damage significantly for it to prevent continuing.

I'd also like to say remove the blood rain from last crusade. If you want to be silly and keep going, let the player do it.

Scenario 'Gods':
Even if the Leader of the Town 'Aloh' dies (he is called Harry?), you do start a dialogue with him when you move close to the town. Except he doesn't talk back, because he is dead. This results into a broken dialogue...
And I'm not sure if you get an item for killing the troll leader, it somehow didn't look like it.

It's not undead specific.

Fixed. Yes, his name was Harry. It's not a reference to anything, he bears no resemblances to no Clint Eastwood characters.

This is a bug in wesnoth. Enjoy it while you can.

That would spoil the surprise.

You can check it on the wiki.

There is some information in the FAQ section of in-game help.

#Chapter 9
@ZIM
What do you think, could be that problem with black soul demons be solved by changing the types of demons to easier ones? Like replacing Barons with Warriors?

What would you say if I reduced the spawn rate of the flies?

@dabber
I might remove it from that scenario if nobody disagrees (not that I think somebody does).

So you mean that if I increased the damage of the blood rain (possibly reducing the lethargy effect), it might actually do its job?

If a damage type is set to cold(or fire/arcane/lighting), the effect 'Sucks 1 health from target with each hit' doesn't work, that's intended, right?
Why do the 'Dark Gloves of Destruction' have this effect when the 'Darf Sword of Destruction' sets the damage type to cold? Is it intended to be a hidden disable for the effect or did you overlook that?

EDIT: In 'Darkness Closing In' there is one enemy elf with no special abilities at all. He starts on 49,32 and is called (if that matters) Emlon'dar. Is that intended?
Another elf is just standing on his starting hex(47,32) and never moved (he has the ability of being very strong though)

EDIT 2: Another unmoving elf (with special ability) is on 58,37 but both attack when you move into their movement range.

"When this unit hits an enemy, it has a chance to tax its side and part it from some gold." - 'its' is ambiguous & could refer to the unit's side or the enemy.

Do later scenarios in part 1 get harder? Finding the game really easy at this point (on darkest darkness atm, good amount of OP units right now)

I think if you also make blood rain specific to some maps, it would work. Then it would turn from a bloody annoyance to a tactical challenge for those maps (it could start raining a little sooner and considerably ramp up in damage or something). I'm not sure blood rain as a general tool can be made to work, because it never really ceases to be annoying :D

Just my two cents.

You can repeatedly summon Beezlebub with his pillar. You only get the rewards for kill one of them, it hasn't to be the first one summoned. Only the first one summoned get's a health bonus and his health bonus increase for every other summoned Beezlebub.

EDIT: Is it a known bug, that if you kill a unit with parry, you get the xp for the fight and for the kill? (if the unit is lvl 1 you get 1xp for the fight and 8xp for the kill).

EDIT 2: In 'The Army of Darkness' there seems to be an enemy leader missing..?
EDIT 3: I took a look at the map, you accidentally placed the leader tag for side 3 instead of side 6.

EDIT 4: "Infinite Legion" -> Could you add 'or defeat all enemy units' in the scenario objectives?

#The black soul demon
I think that changing the demon types that turn into black souls to the easier ones would be okay. But, maybe you could just make the black soul demon slightly weaker or modified them to only having two traits. It's just that some of the trait combination made the black soul demons very strong.

#The flies
I think it's okay to reduce the spawn rate of the flies. Maybe for 3-5 turns? Just don't make them spawn forever.
