This is not the original The Dark Hordes
Explanation: I have made this campaign years before to be played on BfW1.12 as a continuation of the original TDH which was considered abandoned and unmaintained long before.

Hi,

First off a buglet (apologies if it's already known) a couple of unittypes have {WOUNDED_UNIT ()} in the wrong place?
The Arch Mage and Horseman are both immobile until hitpoints are reduced to below {WOUNDED_UNIT ()} threshold then they start moving?
Doesn't seem right to me...

Onto my main...

Better to make a forum post than spam Discord, so here we are.
-- This post was originally prompted by a conversation on Discord about mainline campaigns, and then I felt compelled to write a bit about each. The results of this endeavor are below.

Right, so this is happening....

Describe the problem you would like to solve

It can be difficult for a new player to know where to start, because there are so many campaigns, scenarios, factions and addons. The large number of choices is disorienting and this can reduce a new player's confidence. With more choices, they are...

Flight to Freedom is the story of the great Drake leader Malakar, who saw the near-destruction of his tribe at the hands of a dark wizard, and of how he gathered his shattered people and set out on a dangerous journey across unknown lands in the hopes of bringing them back home.

Feedback thread:...

Just tried this and first impression is that it's pretty cool and nifty. The art is swell and it even has anims! The theme is also interesting, I still have to play more to get a better picture. It does seem to be a variation of the (now) classic zombie plague. But all praise aside I do have to...

Axioms Of Dominion is a project I got about 40% through and then had to let go for life stuff. Now I have roughly a year where I shouldn't have anything else to do so I'm hoping to release in late 2022 or very early 2023 if I run into serious issues.

I'd advise reading the wiki for a broad...

The total sample size is 4716 valid games played on AfterBot. From them for the most of my studies I selected...

I am looking into the core as a way to load past translated content.

The core is a lightweight mechanism for isolating an add-on from the game configuration. In this way we can see it as sandboxing.
The two limits to the independence to the game engine are:

They are the foundation for a deathmatch-mode: Heroes also comes with the map The Sphere , in which 6 previously picked...

Each time a translatable string is changed in mainline content (code for UI or WML/lua for content) the corresponding translations in all languages become fuzzy . It highlights that people needs to check the translation again to see if it is valid.
It is up to the translation team to remove the...
