Re: Legend of the Invincibles (chapter 8 is out)

In "Sightseeing" (Chapter 2 Scenario ), Argan is getting killed around turn 9/10, which seems earlier than I can reasonably reach him. Is he supposed to be able to fend for himself? AI deaths leading to defeat are always annoying (especially if said AI force is far away); is that lose cond...

Re: Legend of the Invincibles

"Gods" (Chapter 2, scenario 2) played extremely oddly. The bandit just below my camp didn't recruit on turn 1 and I killed him on turn 2 with no dialogue. The witch surrendered as soon as I saw her (telling me where the monastery was), then I got her intro speech right *after* that, and sh...

Re: Legend of the Invincibles

It is not pointless. It does not work as you think, though. If there is a lot of weak enemies separating you from their leader, you can kill one, take his place, and proceed, and the enemies will not occupy that place again preventing you from proceeding. OK, that makes sense! I just misunderstood ...

Re: Legend of the Invincibles

At the beginning of "Toxic Sun", all of Efraim's items had disappeared, but Lethalia's were still equipped. Efraim's items were not in my inventory, just gone (as far as I can tell). The ability "penetrates" (which Efraim and Lethalia are given) does not grant the ability to atta...

Re: NEW: Elvish Dynasty RPG

"Finale" is very difficult to defeat by defending (I imagine this is intentional), but it is very easy to bring your whole army through one of the four openings and assassinate Marshal Linsvail. I won this way on turn 7. IMO, you should make this approach much harder; it seems to violate t...

Re: Insane Hermit

Some balancing comments: Scenario 2 (vs. the dwarves) is too easy (only 1 leader) Scenario 3 (vs. the orcs) is too hard (requires assassinations relying on extreme enemy stupidity and a fair dose of luck) Scenario 4 (vs. the undead) is WAY too easy (60 gold for each leader...?) Scenario 6 ("The...

Re: 1.8 SP Campaign: Bad Moon Rising 0.9.1

In "The Guardian" (Copper Mines), losing Maskov does not result in game over contrary to objectives.

Re: 1.8 SP Campaign: Bad Moon Rising 0.9.1

I enjoyed the prologue. Only one comment: In "Darkside", the pursuer is too strong. It is basically a matter of luck whether the green spawns kill him before you run out of space to run. Not sure what to suggest...maybe give the player a better hiding place? Or one respawning ghost? Part 2...

Re: Scenario Review: DM 13 - The Return of Trouble

1) Medium 2) Impossible with conventional tactics (started with 310 gold). I tried 4 or 5 times and died horribly (like, 20+ orcs left alive) each and every time. I eventually beat it (with relative ease) by recruiting only sorceresses and doing a mad rush to Purple's keep. I assume this was not the...

Re: Dead Water

Just finished on normal (Wesnoth 1.6.5). Great campaign! I found "Slavers" to be by far the hardest mission. It ended my attempt to beat the campaign on hard soundly. Way too many Saurians on favorable terrain for them. On normal, the walkthrough strategy worked. Nothing else was super cha...

Re: Alfhelm the Wise

I agree with giapo that the bears mission is impossible if you don't happen to have leveled hunters in your recall list. Seems like an unfortunate design decision. Maybe the player should get to choose which 3 units they want with them (one of those one-turn keep things)?

Re: Alfhelm the Wise

Playing on medium, Wesnoth 1.6.5, campaign version .4 Excellent campaign so far (I'm a few scenarios into part 2). Two comments: 1) In the battle with the two brothers, you should be able to step on the keep/village after the second brother is dead. 2) In the Pass of Arendia, the orcs are very stron...
