Re: The Rising 0.1.3 [SP campaign for 1.11.10 and later]
Hi Paulomat, I happened to enter this thread and realised that I played this beautifully made campaign of yours before. It was quite a while ago but I still remember the exciting feelings from the first scenarios to the battle defending the elf castle in the forest. The battles are very well designed and balanced at tough level. Hopefully the band keep making a glorious journey together till the end of story Gracias.

While you are making edits, another for scenario 1:
"That was a though battle." though > tough

Re: The Rising 0.1.3 [SP campaign for 1.11.10 and later]
No problem, I just reached scenario 10. And I probably broke something, or it doesn't work properly:
The dwarves arrive, then the undeads show up, and the next turn, I don't know why, there's a troll in my team, somewhere I never went.
Could one of you guys send me a start of scenario save file of scenario 10?(as the above poster mentioned, scenario 10 doesn't work).
As i said, I was travelling and I lost my saves because they were on another computer.
Thank you very much!Hey, this is the beginning of a really excellent campaign. I love the cool new elvish units and the unique heroes.
corrected most of them exceptSome small errors in the dialogue:
Actually fulfil is British english and fullfill is american english. Maybe I should decide for one of them. Does anybody know if there is a wesnoth standard?fulfil [fulfill]
There are several scenarios where the objectives state there is an early finish bonus, but the bonus is not given. They are: 3 Enemies of old, 5 Lake Aelin, 7 Deep Forest, and 8 Grand Meeting.
Scenario 9 states that there is an early finish (but there is no turn limit) and a 40% carryover, but the actual carryover is 80%.
You're right, correctedThe additional objective of "survive the night" seems unnecessary.
I found it challenging enough on medium, only later waves were easier. What do you think about making wave 3,4,5 and 6 harder? :This scenario is very easy; you only have a few weak undead come at you at a time. It's also a bit repetitive, as each wave is pretty much the same. Perhaps there could be less waves, but more units / higher level units in each wave.
Added more cavepath terrain and turn limit 99.More flat terrain would be nice. There's so much cave terrain which costs 3 movement for most elves, making it tedious to move units 2 hexes at a time usually.
Also, since there's no turn limit it's possible to get infinite xp / gold (if you use lots of loyals) but it's not a big issue, since I don't think most people would bother to exploit this.
The time limit is preliminary, please tell me on which turn you finished that scenario guys
Thank you very much! De nada!Hi Paulomat, I happened to enter this thread and realised that I played this beautifully made campaign of yours before.

corrected as well.While you are making edits, another for scenario 1:
Thank you very much for all these comments guys.
I'll upload a corrected version as soon as I fix scenario 10

I attached my Scenario 10 save. It's from Wesnoth v. 1.12.0 though, so not sure if it will work with the latest version.
The issue is the troll leader gets added to your side on the second turn.
Also, maybe you could clarify how to dig, it wasn't obvious to me that you had to right click on the wall you wanted to dig through.
Typo in scenario 10: Maester pointy-ears, please excuse my father, sometimes he get's a little ... strange ...
Scenario 3: I think it would add a nice challenge to this scenario to make the later waves harder. But if you make it much harder, maybe consider not spawning any units in the northeast, to give the player the option to run to the signpost if it gets too difficult.
fulfil spelling: Ah, I didn't know that. I think Wesnoth uses both American and British spellings.
Scenario 9: I finished on turn 51, but I really took my time since there wasn't a turn limit and could easily have finished earlier.

Here's a save for the 10th scenario.
Thank you, I fixed and tested it.I attached my Scenario 10 save.
Also, maybe you could clarify how to dig, it wasn't obvious to me that you had to right click on the wall you wanted to dig through.
Both are now on my todo list for the next version.Scenario 3: I think it would add a nice challenge to this scenario to make the later waves harder. But if you make it much harder, maybe consider not spawning any units in the northeast, to give the player the option to run to the signpost if it gets too difficult.
Maybe I should focus on one of them, then? I think I'll go with british english, as it's the one that my spell check uses.fulfil spelling: Ah, I didn't know that. I think Wesnoth uses both American and British spellings.
I uploaded version 0.1.3b to the server,Scenario 9: I finished on turn 51, but I really took my time since there wasn't a turn limit and could easily have finished earlier.

Dawn of Thunder 0.1.4 [SP campaign for 1.11.10 and later]
you thought this is dead, didn't you?
The Rising is back with version 1.4!
actually it is called Dawn of Thunder now...
Yeah, after half a year or more of inactivity i got motivation to work on this again.
So what are the most important things that have changed?
-First of all I decided to rename it. "The Rising" sounds so generic
because "Dawn of Thunder" sounds much less generic, sure...
-Secondly, scenario n° 11 got added. It is unfortunately a pure talking scenario so I'm not sure if that is any useful for you players
the full list of changes is here:
Last but not least i'd like to speak to whoever might have refrained from commenting because of my long inactivity: Don't! I read the forum everyday!
Greetings,
Paulomat4

Re: Dawn of Thunder 0.1.4 [SP campaign for 1.11.10 and later
Hi,
Good to see that the campaign is going on. I have some comments for the Subterran Crossfire scenario:
- The number of turns should be limited. Otherwise it is quite easy to get endless money once you killed the Troll leader. Somthing between 30 and 40 turns might be a good idea on normal.
- The two loyal dwarfs you get in the scenario should have a second trait like all the other loyal units.
- If you kill M'Brin in this scenario he is just gone. He should have some famous last words.
Another general thing. At third level Naia gets the AMLA option to increase physical resistance by 25%. This is too high in my eyes. 15% like Fiannon gets for his magical resistance is a more appropriate value.

Hi!
Good catch, seems like I forgot about that. Will be fixed in the next version.The number of turns should be limited. Otherwise it is quite easy to get endless money once you killed the Troll leader. Somthing between 30 and 40 turns might be a good idea on normal
done- The two loyal dwarfs you get in the scenario should have a second trait like all the other loyal units.
Gave him some (more or less) last words.- If you kill M'Brin in this scenario he is just gone. He should have some famous last words.

Re: Dawn of Thunder 0.1.4 [SP campaign for 1.11.10 and later
Hey guys,
version 0.1.5 has just been uploaded to the server!
The most notable changes are:
[quote=Inky]Scenario 3: I think it would add a nice challenge to this scenario to make the later waves harder.[/quote]
-this has finally been realized, sorry it took me so long I hope it hasn't gotten too hard.
-Scenario 12 is finally out. I had a few problems in coding a feature, that's why it took me so long to code. I've decided to release the scenario eve if I didn't complete this feature, it will (hopefully) be included in the next version. Scenario 12 also misses quite a bit of flavor dialogue but should be fully playable.
Get ready to fight in a completely different environment! But stay careful! The local fauna can be quite dangerous
-Scenario 2 has been reworked and now features a complete new map and slightly different gameplay. That's a thing that I have been planning to do for quite some time and now I finally got around to doing this. Since the gameplay changes quite a bit I would be happy about balancing comments. Changelog:

Re: Dawn of Thunder 0.1.4 [SP campaign for 1.11.10 and later
I think the 3rd scenario is broken. Im on the 18th turn and the waves only spawn one level 0 zombie at each turn. Having played this campaign some time ago, i don´t think this was supposed to happen.
EDIT:it´s definitively broken, just ended the level and that "bug" persisted until the end and ended with a carryover of 500 gold for the next scenario, which will probably make the rest of the campaign too much easy

Re: Dawn of Thunder 0.1.4 [SP campaign for 1.11.10 and later
Can confirm that Scenario 3 spawns only level 0 zombies near bottom left corner of map (with exception of wave 2, which spawns that elvish ghost dude).
P.S. this is not meant to necrobump, or rush you, merely confirming that the behaviour seen by Ahmannar is reproduceable
Thanks

Re: Dawn of Thunder [SP campaign for 1.13.6 and later]
Dawn of Thunder version 0.1.7 has just been uploaded to the 1.13.6 add-on server!
Dawn of thunder has finally changed it's ID, so hopefully There no more remnant of it's old generic name This led to some confusion from my part, so I had to take down the add-on and reupload it. To the 30 people who already had it downloaded: Sry for any inconvenience I might have caused
I did a lot of polishing the last few month, and have added two new scenarios, thus bringing an end to chapter 2. You can finally meet the exciting Northguards, a brutal but proud race from the highest peaks of the Heart Mountains!
here's the full changelog:
