This will be fixed in the next feature release, coming to an add-ons server near you on summer 2016.Konrad2 wrote:„Over the Sands“

Intentional. The help text in the next feature release will specifically mention this:Konrad2 wrote:Bats are not counted as living units

Each turn spent thirsty reduces a unit’s attack damage by 1 and causes $dehydration_loss hitpoints of damage. Thirsty units will regain full attack strength at the start of each turn by refreshing at a village or water hex, or being cared for by a healer. As with poison, a unit will not die of thirst even if it is reduced to 1 hitpoint; likewise, its attack damage will not drop below 1."

“The Elf versus Goliath”
The strength potion replenishes the life of the one drinking it
“The Library”
spoiler alert
the shaxthal and the spirits fight each other
“The Source of Light”
when the demons spotted a spider the dialogue occurred that should have happened when they spot my army or I spot theirs. The spider even answered with “Oh.” when she was spotted by them
two mechanical Goliaths are being created into the walls at the beginning of the scenario
32,36 and 37,37
“Strike on New Knalga”
ive always wondered how the elves got through the siege by the loyalists, so they could camp next to the main keep of the dwarves. Makes no sense story-wise xD
general: could maybe a loyal unit be recalled every scenario instead of any other unit?
What use has the “Defend only” attack from the Automaton?
Why do the dwarves not use Automatons?
is Igor a descendant of Karun and Kapou'e? Cuz he has has their standard at his house
EDIT:
“Strike on New Knalga”
is it intended that i get 100 gold at the sixth turn (just like the enemies)?
EDIT 2:
“The Escape”
is it intended that the Loyalists attack the cave-monsters?
Why do the demons on the bridge leave their posts without anyone in reach to attack?
I think it would be better if the scenario objectives said to kill all loyalists instead of only their leaders
“Bye and Behold”
Why do the Orcs know what elves are? The Aragwaithi only know them from legends, so how can an Orcs identify an Elf with just one glance?
EDIT 3:
"The Dawn of the Great War"
the enemy is to weak, they are defeated by turn 13 and the orcs did pretty much nothing
EDIT 4:
how is gold for the dwarves calculated? because i do not understand from where they have 1184 gold
EDIT 5:
why do faeries not get revived as undead when they die?
would it be possible to implement a scenario where the dwarves and the amry galas left behind have to defend the valley vs the enemy reinforcements, so that spamming dwarves isnt an option anymore? else "The Heart" is too easy

Won’t fix, because it doesn’t apply to the Reconstruction version of scenario 9 as there are no Shaxthals anymore. Sort of. Maybe. Wink. IIRC this was intentional anyway.Konrad2 wrote:“The Library”

No, and I can’t see anything in the code that could possibly cause this. Are you absolutely sure it’s not just your income being insanely high from the number of owned villages at this point?Konrad2 wrote:EDIT:
“Strike on New Knalga”

No. In the Reconstruction version of scenario 12 this is not the case. The trolls (who are the Chaos units’ enemies) may target or be targeted by cave creatures; however, I believe this is highly unlikely in practice so I am not particularly inclined to fix it.Konrad2 wrote:EDIT 2:
“The Escape”

Do you mean they approach your units even if they are not in reach? That would be the expected behavior in the Reconstruction version of scenario 12, at least.Konrad2 wrote:Why do the demons on the bridge leave their posts without anyone in reach to attack?
The scenario objectives describe the actual objectives set by the scenario code most of the time, bar a few story-driven exceptions.Konrad2 wrote:I think it would be better if the scenario objectives said to kill all loyalists instead of only their leaders
There is a specific reason for this in the Reconstruction version of scenario 14.Konrad2 wrote:“Bye and Behold”

Is this from The Heart? I will get back to you once I get around to rewriting this scenario, since I won’t be looking at the old formula anyway. It’s probably some nonsense maths from back when I could actually do maths (imagine that!).Konrad2 wrote:EDIT 4:

Because they are faeries and run on arcane magic, essentially.Konrad2 wrote:EDIT 5:

The Heart will be rewritten like everything else.Konrad2 wrote:would it be possible to implement a scenario where the dwarves and the amry galas left behind have to defend the valley vs the enemy reinforcements, so that spamming dwarves isnt an option anymore? else "The Heart" is too easy

As for what codename Reconstruction is:
I am starting work on scenario 16 right now. Hopefully the first Reconstruction beta will be out at some point before the end of the year, but I can’t make any promises. Between maintaining AtS and Wesnoth itself, I can’t exactly dedicate all the time I’d like to IftU, which is also why the pre-Reconstruction version only receives critical bugfixes.shadowm wrote:The thing is, I am actually working on a long due revision (actually dangerously close to a near-complete rewrite at this point) of the campaign and I have dealt with a few existing bugs in the process, and I’ll probably find and fix even more before I am finished with this. I suppose you could still post about bugs other than the deprecation notices, but I can’t promise fixes for anything that doesn’t outright crash Wesnoth until I am done with the rewrite.

sry i must have been sleepy when i wrote that down xD i forgot to recruit and concidentally ended up with exactly 100 gold at turn 6 due to my negative incomeshadowm wrote:No, and I can’t see anything in the code that could possibly cause this.

yes i meant those, i just did strike me as odd that the demons came to me but the automatons didn'tshadowm wrote:Do you mean they approach your units even if they are not in reach?

i thought it odd because Faeries still have a physical body, not a corporeal one and plague is useable on themshadowm wrote:Because they are faeries and run on arcane magic, essentially.Konrad2 wrote:EDIT 5:

anyway thank you very much for answering and i happily await your Reconstruction

Invasion from the Unknown 1.99.0 pre-annnouncement
Since a non-insignificant number of people celebrate Halloween today, I thought I would take this opportunity to make a special spooooooky announcement.
Invasion from the Unknown is now in mainline.

Wait, no. No, no, no, no, no. No. That’s not the correct announcement, I must have misplaced it somehow. Ah, here it is!
Reconstruction is complete.
Today October 31st 2015 at 01:50:24 CLST, the second half of the codename Reconstruction effort landed in the Invasion from the Unknown master branch, thus signaling the beginning of the end of the unreasonably long development process leading up to IftU version 2.0. So, from this point onwards, the classic IftU codebase (i.e. version 1.90.x) is officially abandoned and will not receive any further bug fixes of any sort. Instead, IftU 2.0 RC 1 (a.k.a. version 1.99.0) will be published to the 1.12.x add-ons server as soon as my prose review and playtesting/QA team gives it the green light.
There are still some additional tasks remaining to be done for 2.0.0 proper, which will probably be released simultaneously with AtS 0.10.0. Hopefully it won’t take me as long as the rest — so, two months tops. Yes, I am fairly sure I will regret posting this time estimate later.
Until then, have some FAQs:

Re: Invasion from the Unknown 1.90.8 [Wesnoth 1.12]
Hi, why does killing warlord at end scenario of part 1 do nothing? Its relatively possible but tedious to do when playing on easy, just kill both leaders and when warlord arrives suicide everything and surround her with walking corpses. Keep creating 3 corpses per turn and replace one he kills but do not attack her as she regenerates. Do that until you have enough corpses to mass attack on him.
Re: Invasion from the Unknown 1.90.8 [Wesnoth 1.12]
Because the Warlord can’t die in that scenario.

Re: Invasion from the Unknown 1.90.8 [Wesnoth 1.12]
Version 1.99.0 (a.k.a. 2.0 Release Candidate 1) is out now, so there is no point in discussing the legacy version anymore.
Update now, and head to the new thread.
