Re: The Reign of the Lords
Cool
Also only just when loading a game after updating the add-on, I realised that the Bone Marauder is a choice of leader which is a level 3 unit, but can recruit level 3 units and every other leader is level 4.

Gold is great!
Swat them bugs!

Re: The Reign of the Lords
Yes most leaders are level 4 it is the only level 3 leader until I can draw a lvl 4 sprite for the Bone Marauder (though perhaps I should have removed it as an option).
And definitely let me know if you see any bugs or have any suggestions!

Re: The Reign of the Lords
Some corrections/suggestions/questions regarding the stuff in the 'story' tags.
Part1:
" Some are born great. Some achieve greatness. And some have greatness thrust upon them. But beware if you are of the latter... nothing comes without a price
And the price of greatness, power, strength, often is your soul."
So, why are the no periodes after 'price'? Also, why are there two whitespaces before the start of the text?
Part2:
" This fort is a lonely place that has long been forgotten. For almost a year all you have fought is the rats and the cold. But despite appearances this is an important strategic position. This outpost is on the peak bordering the elven lands and the orcish border. Furthermore there is a large store of gold in the nearby treasury, from the rich gold mines nearby."
The peak? The peak of what?
their - it belongs to them
there - some place you are pointing at
Part4:
" The Orcish Wartribes have been fighting an intense civil war since the start of the year now and the General believes that these scattered tribes that have been driven acrossed the border into our land may be the key to a new alliance between the Orcs and Humans, and the key to ending the tyrannic rule of the Orcish Warlords. He does not share your pessimism and hope for war, and has gone to meet with the Orcish leaders to discuss their presence on the border."
I'm not sure about this correction, but it kinda feels right now.

Re: The Reign of the Lords
Thank you Konrad2, my English is not exceptional so this is very helpful!
I believe the missing period and white spaces are accidental.
It was supposed to be a geographical peak, however, this campaign is not yet grounded in a real place in wesnoth. I need to figure out wesnoth looks like and where the orcs live before I know where this peak actually is.
But it should probably read the 'peaks', that makes more sense.
Yes I agree that is better Tyrannic is a very good description of the Orcs War tribes. Thank you! And please let me know any other corrections you have!

Re: The Reign of the Lords
I thinks it's weird that the villages 37,37 and 35,40 and 29,41 (and maybe 34,32 and 28,34) do not belong to me already (especially 37,37 where you even placed a loyal unit) because those villages are (more or less) within my fortifications around the Treasury Keep (basically in a place under my control).
(35,48 is basically the same thing.)
49,53 is the most questionable one of them all.
EDIT:
Turn 2
You are in command now and we cannot let the invaders take the treasury.
Why do the orcs destroy some villages while others only get roughed up instead?
EDIT 2:
Pleeeeease put a note somewhere about sergeant units being able to advance to healer-like units for those unfamiliar with your era.
As those are the only healers you seem to have access in the first scenario, it drastically raises the value of recruiting sergeants.
EDIT 3:
Turn 9
caverns than so -> caverns then so
this is nearly a a -> this is nearly a
but it seems that strategy may backfire if we loose -> but that strategy will backfire if we lose
lose: being defeated
loose: easy to take/untangle (loose knot/binding)
The village on 10,9 is not illuminated unlike the hexes surrounding it.
It would be nice if you'd remove indicators of special places once you've visited them or otherwise mark them as already visited. That way the player won't have to wonder whether he already visited there.
EDIT 4:
Chevalier
Infantrymen -> Sergeant after all they advance from Sergeants, so why not?
I'll look through the unit files soon.

Re: The Reign of the Lords
Yes that is strange and I will fix it. I believe it was because I was assigning starting villages like thisKonrad2 wrote: ↑January 18th, 2019, 10:45 pm I thinks it's weird that the villages 37,37 and 35,40 and 29,41 (and maybe 34,32 and 28,34) do not belong to me already (especially 37,37 where you even placed a loyal unit) because those villages are (more or less) within my fortifications around the Treasury Keep (basically in a place under my control).
{STARTING_VILLAGES 1 6}
which just randomly picks villages near you. I will manually assign the ones which are inside your keep instead. Thanks for noticing that!
It is just a random generator which does one or the other. But if you think it would be better to just destroy them all I can do that instead and supplement the Orcs by giving the gold
Alternatively what might be best is just to have them all roughed up, rather than some destroyed. That way the income is still a factor and strategically the terrain matters, but it would be more clear what is going on. What do you think?
It definitely does and I will do that. That is a very good thing to point outKonrad2 wrote: ↑January 18th, 2019, 10:45 pm Pleeeeease put a note somewhere about sergeant units being able to advance to healer-like units for those unfamiliar with your era.

Haha I noticed that I spelled 'lose' wrong many times, I have replaced them all
Unfortunately the map editor would not let me illuminate the village...
Okay yes sure. But for example the Dwarven Doors would be odd to disappear after they are visited... wouldn't massive doors just vanishing be spooky?
Should I remove that also when you move there? Or maybe just change the picture so it looks opened?
Okay great thanks! By the way there are about 200 units, So don't feel that you have to look through them all. A bunch still don't have descriptions yet, which I need to fix.
Also any suggestions about changes to the story or events would be great to! Some things sound fine when you type them but then not so much when they are actually in the campaign

And personally I'd prefer having all villages getting roughed up, maybe you can even something so they will be destroyed once an orc visits a village the second or third time?
Try asking Whitewolf about this, he is using villages in his campaign that are permanently darkened.Unfortunately the map editor would not let me illuminate the village...
This might be just as helpful. I'm sure someone in the discord modding channel can explain that one.
How about adding a team label with the name of the place once you've visited it?Okay yes sure. But for example the Dwarven Doors would be odd to disappear after they are visited... wouldn't massive doors just vanishing be spooky?

Re: The Reign of the Lords
You make a good point, I think that I probably will remove the destroying part. It is interesting but also a bit confusing. It is fun thematically even if the villages are only roughed up.Konrad2 wrote: ↑January 19th, 2019, 2:08 am

Okay great! Thank you for that link I will see if I can implement their solution, and if not I will ask whitewolf.
Good idea! Something like "Dwarven Doors", or "Abandoned Hut", "Hunting Camp"?How about adding a team label with the name of the place once you've visited it?
Thank you again for all your suggestions!

Re: The Reign of the Lords
Yes, but the first case would be 'Dwarvish Doors', as 'Dwarven Doors' is/was(/will be?) a town.The_Gnat wrote: Good idea! Something like "Dwarven Doors", or "Abandoned Hut", "Hunting Camp"?
Re: The Reign of the Lords
Okay good point

Re: The Reign of the Lords
I'm putting it into spoilers because technically you won't see those descriptions unless you've seen the unit.
EDIT:
(Just saying, I like the 'Drakes have an inner flame (which is also their source of life kinda)' thing, so my suggestions are biased towards this.)
I'll try finishing a folder for every scenario I play, so this might take some time.

Re: The Reign of the Lords
Awesome, that is very thorough and very helpful!
That is fine, I personally like the idea of an inner flame also!
No problem, though currently I have only finished one scenario haha. Speaking of the scenario by which path did you finish the first scenario?

Re: The Reign of the Lords
As I'm playing 3 campaigns at parallel, I mean the scenario count, not the scenarios in a single campaign.
I didn't finish yet The Rising Storm, as I got held up with the units.
Re: The Reign of the Lords
Okay sounds fun! Good luck with all your campaigns!

Re: The Reign of the Lords
Which folder is the right one, Dunefolk or Khalifate? Or both?
EDIT:
Descriptionswise: Dwarvish Bear Rider = Dwarvish Bear King, Dwarvish Arbalestier = Dwarvish Barrager
Elvish Vendicator -> Elvish Vindicator
The file name of the 'Ice Penetrator' is 'Ice Penetator' right now.

EDIT 3:
Nothing below yet. Basically a list for me so I won't lose track.
