The Invasion Of The Western Cavalry Feedback

Interesting...I have nothing here...
Could you attach a saved game?

[Adamant14]

What do you mean Mal-Talar dies? He is expected to be petrified already, or is he not?

First time I played this scenario, on turn 4 or 5 comes surprising for me the defeat message.
I did not understand why.
Then I restart, with the same defeat message on turn 6 or 7.
I still did not understand why.
Then I restarted again, switched to debug-mode.
Turned fog off, and then I saw him, the helpless lost Sorcerer, slaughtered by his enemy.
He don't move, but the other [ai] units attack him, he strikes back (without moving), and the he dies sooner or later.
You have to change that, or the player has no chance.

I played three times, and three times he gets killed.

OK, I just had the brilliant idea that I should play the scenario myself, and there is really something nasty going on, I'll fix it and then update.

[WhiteWolf]

Updated 0.1.4.
The {PETRIFIED UNIT ... } macro was the guilty, it had a misspelling when added petrified status.
But for safety's sake, I renamed the statue's ID from 'Talar' to 'Statue', so even if there is a bug (I doubt it), the game will not crash, only there won't be a statue.

Also changed:
- You can now advance Arya to Elite Elvish Halberdier.
- Developped the battleship war - your enemy can now recruit ships.
- Lots of smaller bugs fixed (thanks for Adamant14)
- Western History finished in the description.
- Rebuilt bridges (also did some embellishments).

Still same issue with me, and yes, I did update the campaign. third turn he dies, "Oh no, without the help of the undead, we're lost!" I updated 5 minutes ago.

[WhiteWolf]

Started playing just before, now I have Mal-Talar petrified, and with an id=Statue.

Do the following:
In the beginning, press ':', the type the command 'debug'.
Again ':', type 'inspect'
An inspection window pops up. Go to units, and skim if you have a unit with id=Talar. You should not have so.

Anyway, I had a better idea while playing I decided to make this scenario a bit more exciting - Mal-Talar won't be instantly petrified, but you will have to catch and kill him. If you can't -> defeat

Adamant, do you still have this dying problem by the way?

[Adamant14]

I haven't tested yet.
I deleted my save-game.
I play again when you update your game again.
I will kill Mal-Talar myself this time.

[WhiteWolf]

I've spotted an error.

[WhiteWolf]

Hmm...for the second time it occurs that its not clear what to do on that map...I shall add a dialogue that will explain it clearly

Still struggling with the 11th map. I'll let you know when 0.1.5 is uploaded.

[Adamant14]

Code: Select all

        [objectives]
            side=1
            [objective]
                description= _ "Lead your ships along the river"
                condition=win
            [/objective]
            [objective]
                description= _ "Sink of any Flagship"
                condition=lose
            [/objective]
            [objective]
                description= _ "Turns run out"
                condition=lose
            [/objective]
        [/objectives]

The scenatios objectives are really not clear.
Point it out.
Most of the players don't read all the dialogue.
The objectives are it!!!
They must be clear.

When a player don't know what to do, he takes a look what the objectives say, don't you think?

[WhiteWolf]

Did that. It's unequivocal now
