Has anyone else tried the Forest of Fear from the campaign server? EP really is evil.

Aaagh. That says it all.

It's fun. Since there are unlimited turns, it's probably best to let them kill each other... but I haven't tried yet...

I like it, i won it on easy(one save-load), just hide a bit and advance your assasin. (+5hp, +1 dmg to both attacks and +1 move per advance!)

Usually the Elves or the Undead end up on top, no real choice whatever you do, so it can be a good strategy to just hang around advancing and then kill the victor.

Hmm... Is the assassain supposed to have ALMA or something? For me, he can level up once and the he is stuck.... And the upgrade is an automatic extra health + full heal...

(Forgive me for newbiedom).

Yes, that's supposed to happen. It's hard, though, even with the full heals. That trick (for me) was to kill the Necromancer early on.

But he only levels once... do you mean villages?

What version of wesnoth you're using?

lu_zero · Post by **lu_zero** » November 15th, 2005, 9:53 pm

he levels one time at least with 1.0.1

Emmanovi · Post by **Emmanovi** » November 15th, 2005, 11:23 pm

1.0.1.

I could have sworn someone said there was ALMA for extra damage and things...

Hey, this was fun on easy

. Hooray for skirmish/ambush/nightstalk/marksman/poison deadly AMLA assassin styles.

On easy (haven't tried the other difficulties yet), you can advance multiple times. Each time you get +5 hp, +1 damage, +1 movement, a full heal, and the required xp to advance again is raised some.

That's odd, because I didn't seem to have that... I'll have another look (If I can become skilled enough to level WITHOUT dying)....

How do you do that? I never seem to manage to kill the Necromancer, his guard is too strong. I just murder a few of his troops and leave it to the Orcs and Elves to finish him...

The AMLA is supposed to be unlimited, I have no idea why it wouldn't be; a bug in the game perhaps? I'm using max_times=-1 for unlimited advancement...

I think there's a hardcoded max for AMLA, but it's around 100 at least. No way someone is leveling that many times.
