The Blind Sentinel - [Feedback and development topic]

[WhiteWolf]

Certainly, when promoting unit to 'Banner Carrier', it becomes issue: Invalid WML found (I think) as become leadership lvl2 from abilities.

That's just a warning, you can ignore it. It's about an old syntax I still used there, the ability will work fine regardless of that.

After 'On Northern Roads', Vormund, Loivissa and Gildred has arrived on 'The Old Wall' by me. Two scenarios en route to Barag-Gor.

I think that's correct.

Now I am still playing this campaign second time. At first time by battling ships...

Spoiler:

I tried to use debug and get more gold to promote Battleship unit to Rank tier 10. And evidently, the promoted ship is OP (overpowered) and great leadership, also maybe can recall and recruit

.

Finally, I've reached 'At the Gates of Barag-Gor'. Time to sneak in the fortresss.

Finished At the Gates of Barag-Gor...

Spoiler:

But now, both two characters has been imprisoned in 'the Blind Sentinel' scenario. But there is weird is Gildred has already pick the antidote, and the poison effect is gone. But next turn, keep poisoning him.

After out of dungeon, the poison is gone forever in the next scenario. In other words, I haven't found the orcish prisoner from dungeon. But luckily, there are no orc traitor leader in 'Detour' scenario in north-east position.

And what has become OP undead?

Spoiler:

Shadowsoul can wailing hard living units, but also touching hard everything

Yeah, that seems to be bugged for that scenario. Oh well.

And what has become OP undead?

Spoiler:

Yes, I remember Shadowsoul being insanely OP and underpriced. So far though it's only been changed for the Stone of the North campaign, IIRC.

In general, Blind Sentinel can be seriously unbalanced at times.

[Major_Swampy]

At last, after battling ships on 3 scenarios. Now return to Wesnoth (The great continent map).

Now I am still playing this campaign second time. At first time by battling ships...

I have tried without my promoted ship on second time from my above quote, but it's rather easy battle on ship scenarios.

But three questions:

Spoiler:

1. Why I can't undo after moving unit even revealed maps? Intentional removed undo? It makes me should restart turn.
2. Why Northern Longbowmens has reached its limit level, such as Loivissa? It easy to be killed even full hitpoints.
3. Weird, as I select women unit voice, why gets mixed male and female voice? Different with campaign the Ravagers

Again, Blind Sentinel is not so well balanced

1. Why I can't undo after moving unit even revealed maps? Intentional removed undo? It makes me should restart turn.
2. Why Northern Longbowmens has reached its limit level, such as Loivissa? It easy to be killed even full hitpoints.
3. Weird, as I select women unit voice, why gets mixed male and female voice? Different with campaign the Ravagers

1. The first is a known bug. Turn off the soldier sounds, and that should solve it. It'll be fixed in 1.14.
2. Balance issue. Low HP is somewhat compensated by high ranged damage, but it's an unbalanced unit.
3. Bug related to #1 Generally speaking, all these issues relate to bugs in the code of the special effects. These have all been fixed in 1.14 for Ravagers, and when TBS gets ported, it's engine will be replaced with that of Ravagers'. This is true for all parts of the Underness Series.

Finally,

Spoiler:

found wicked Vertleck and betrayal Wargen, by reached in 'Enemy at the Gates'

3 scenarios to go. But I was surprised by found weird...

Spoiler:

In 'Ford of Elensefar', there are 2 same blue side, such as 'Sandor' (ally) and 'General Harsh' (enemy) side. Same scenario with 'Desert of Death', mine is black colour. But AI has same colour side. How about your opinion about same colours?

Post 2
Eventually...

Spoiler:

I have reached the last scenario, 'The Sword of Justice'. With Wargen's death, the wicked Blind Sentinel shall be punished once and for all.

Post 3
And finally.... Finished this campaign.

Spoiler:

The wicked Blind Sentinel has been punished and slain. Thus, I must have miss Vormund and Loivissa. However, they're both married.

Thanks for my feedback, next prequel campaign is TSotN.

Spoiler:

This time, I shall meet with Derryus again.

DukeSwampy.

I honestly don't remember. Same color for different sides is not cool though, so that's something to be fixed then.

This is an old topic, thus I expect not many readers are around, so it might not matter as much, but for future reference: please include key story elements, such as the death of someone, a betrayal, a side-twist, etc. into a [ spoiler ] tag. That's what this tag is meant for and story spoilers are not nice for newcomers.

It's done, and I am sorry because I don't understand about secrets on spoilers. All my posts on this topic have been included in spoilers. Thank you for warning me.

No harm done, thanks
