1.12 SP Drake Campaign, Brave Wings

[SkyOne]

I'm through with the campaign. That was the first drake campaign I've ever played.

Thanks Anonymissimus. My first try of UMC was MadMax's Flight_Freedom. Since then (I mean that is a great campaign), I had been thinking to create a drake campaign; however, creating a story was kind of hard for drakes, so it had taken a while. That is probably the reason why many drake campaigns are not existed in Wesnoth.

-in the last scenario, make it clear to the player that he needs to kill the death knight during the first turns since he won't get a keep (unless you've already done that)

Oh, on my set-up, killing the merman outcast is the first to take over a keep. I have never even tested to kill Death Knight first, yet. Could you tell me how it was? Wasn't it too difficult?

when actually moving Melphine next to Eagi-Nyss, nothing happens, although the objectives are fulfilled. (This can only be achieved if you know before that you will be required to do this, and that Melphine starts at Kasii's location )

That is right! Actually, nothing is happen even Mélphine moves next to Eagi-Nyess, but shhhhh! That is why I put Eagi-Nyess far away from the party to make it impossible. Wasn't it possible, was it?

-IIRC there's something wrong with Kasii's arcane attack animation

Oh, yes! something wrong on it. Once, it works correctly, then another time, not. I will check it out. Thanks for telling it.

-the ellipses of Eagi-Nyss and the wose are level 0 ellipses in the epilog

I thought that nobody mentioned the code on epilogue, but yes. I have not done them for epilogue. Wyngilla still has canrecruit=yes on the scenario. I will probably change it to Eagi-Nyess on the next edition.

What your campaign probably needs most is correction of grammar. English is foreign for me, but, for example, "escape <some unit>" simply sounds wrong. Use "Rescue <some unit>".

Uh! You must be right. English grammar is probably the worst part of this campaign. If anyone helps that part, I would really appreciate it. My order for this campaign is the coding, the art-work, then the dialogue. I'm still working on Drake Sword/Battler sprites which need fourteen minimum icons each. After that, I have to move to Drake Lord unit. Wesnoth never give me a break.

[Anonymissimus]

however, creating a story was kind of hard for drakes, so it had taken a while. That is probably the reason why many drake campaigns are not existed in Wesnoth.

Why do you think creating a story is harder for drakes than for other factions ? I'd say it is always hard, no matter which units are in the campaign...

-in the last scenario, make it clear to the player that he needs to kill the death knight during the first turns since he won't get a keep (unless you've already done that)

Oh, on my set-up, killing the merman outcast is the first to take over a keep. I have never even tested to kill Death Knight first, yet. Could you tell me how it was? Wasn't it too difficult?

There's no merman outcast, unless you've added it since then. campaign version 0.1.3
There were only two keeps at all (Skeletal Dragon and Death Knight)
It was medium-difficulty for an experienced player I'd say. I moved all of the starting units towards the Death Knight im my first turn, so that all of them could reach him in my next turn. Time of day was to my advantage then (morning). Attacks from 2 of the units are very likely to kill the Death Knight then. He's attackable from three hexes. The Armageddon Drake, Kasii and Melphine do such a lot of damage. The Armageddon Drake can even kill him alone in best case. After his death, I moved Wyngylla onto the free keep, could even kill one of the recruited skeletons and recall one of my powerful units. The remaining 3 skeletons, hampered by ZoC and sand, were no thread for my powerful units in the sunlight - Melphine and Kasii shielded behind the others, and the dragon's units were still far away.

when actually moving Melphine next to Eagi-Nyss, nothing happens, although the objectives are fulfilled. (This can only be achieved if you know before that you will be required to do this, and that Melphine starts at Kasii's location )

That is right! Actually, nothing is happen even Mélphine moves next to Eagi-Nyess, but shhhhh! That is why I put Eagi-Nyess far away from the party to make it impossible. Wasn't it possible, was it?

If there's a bug, don't expect me to not find it.

[Sneezy]

Hi SkyOne-- I played version 0.2.4 on NORMAL using BfW 1.6.2 running on win2k SP4.
The campaign was very enjoyable; story was good, and the scenarios tied together nicely.
No major problems, other than a few blunders that I'll avoid the next time.

As others have mentioned, the English could stand some improvement.
Below you'll find some suggestions for the first two scenarios.
Let me know if you'd like me to do something similar for the rest of the scenarios.
That would take a day or two to do, and I could post them here, or send them direct to you.
Kudos for a good job!

[SkyOne]

Hi SkyOne-- I played version 0.2.4 on NORMAL using BfW 1.6.2 running on win2k SP4.
The campaign was very enjoyable; story was good, and the scenarios tied together nicely.
No major problems, other than a few blunders that I'll avoid the next time.

Thanks, Sneezy. I am glad to hear that you were able to enjoy this campaign. After publishing Fate of a Princess, I still had a little story left in my mind. I planed to add it as the part three of that campaign, but it makes the campaign possibly too long, and I wanted to create a drake campaign anyway. So I decided to create Brave Wings as an independent drake campaign. The concept of creating Brave Wings was that the campaign is not too short, but not too long, and easy to understand the story.

As others have mentioned, the English could stand some improvement.
Below you'll find some suggestions for the first two scenarios.
Let me know if you'd like me to do something similar for the rest of the scenarios.
That would take a day or two to do, and I could post them here, or send them direct to you.
Kudos for a good job!
--sneezy

Thank you! I really appreciate your offer. These are real English. Mine is look like English. If you do not mind, please, continue to correct them. You can post here, PM me, or you can even post a new subject on the Writer's Forum. I mean any ways will be very welcome for me. I start working with them from tonight, but you can take your time, not have to rush. Then I will put your name on the credit list on the main file if you do not mind.

again, thank you so much.

[Sneezy]

SkyOne-- I'm happy to help. I'll continue to put them up here, so people can look the suggestions over, and perhaps offer their thoughts.
I realized that my little script ought to pull out the story pieces also, so here's one further suggestion for scenario 2:

story= _ "This was just as usual. Drakes and Nagas always battled on or near the island at that time. However, today was going to be different. Their visitor was not expected at all."
SUGGESTED: "Such battles were not unusual. Drakes and Nagas often battled on or near the island. Today, however, was going to be different. Their visitor would be most unusual..."

I'll post a couple of scenarios every day or two.
--sneezy

[SkyOne]

I'm happy to help. I'll continue to put them up here, so people can look the suggestions over, and perhaps offer their thoughts.

Thank you, Sneezy. Sure! It is obviously a part of scenario & campaign developments.

I realized that my little script ought to pull out the story pieces also,

Yes! during installing your suggested lines last night, I realized it also. For example:

id=Wyngilla
message= _ "All right! We leave some soldiers to guard here, Sir."
SUGGESTED: "All right! We leave immediately. And other strong fighters will remain here, to guard all of you, Sir."

This makes clearer for the players why Drake Fighters are not recruitable after this scenario than one I used to write. I also realized how nice your lines are. They are like real writer's one.

I really appreciate it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: A bug has been found. The animations of the storm ball does not show. In a few days, I will update the fixed version with new variations of Drake Fighter line.

thanks

SUGGESTED: "The timely return of Wyngilla, Kasii, and their fellow drakes brought victory against the undead lord. Now, to restore Faith Island's inhabitants to normal, a small party was headed in-land to search for spiritual holy water. And on the way..."

=======================================

[Zarel]

SUGGESTED: "Now, I am sure. We cannot ignore someone that needs our help."

Grammar nitpick: That should be "someone whom needs our help", or if you don't want to sound as pretentious, at least "someone who needs our help"

"Storm Ball gives the owner a new range attack."

No need to stay that true to the source material; any rare item with "ball" in its name would be laughed at. Rename it to "Storm Orb". And it should be either "The Storm Orb" or "A Storm Orb", depending on uniqueness.

The next sentence should also probably be adjusted to be more precise:

"Ooo! It is the Storm Orb! What a marvel! Naga legend speaks of such an artifact."
"Ooo! It is a Storm Orb! What a marvel! Such artifacts are the stuff of Naga legends."

You know what? I'm going to just offer my own suggestions at adjusting the writing.

Umm, if I were SkyOne, I'd probably be completely happy with a single person providing language help...

about the storm orb: It is meant as an edible item !? "Owner" suggests it's a weapon which can be wielded.

Meh, if someone's going to provide language help, they should be able to write grammatically correct English. I was originally just going to provide grammar corrections, but there were enough of them that rewriting would be faster.

Orbs are generally generic magic equipment, not consumables.

Thanks for the head up, Zarel. Just as:

Umm, if I were SkyOne, I'd probably be completely happy with a single person providing language help...

I stay with Sneezy's help although I picked up some ideas from your comments.


The version 0.3.0 has been released.
The biggest change at this time is to activate New Fighter images, which have been in the folder, with the new custom unit, Sword/Battler. Sword Drake advances from Drake Fighter, and Drake Battler is level=3 of it. So players are able to choose Drake Warrior or Sword Drake when its advancement. Even though they need more sprites following TSI's fine arts, hopefully, they will be some kinds of contributions for this community.

Because recruiting Drake Fighters is impossible after scenario 2 until the last scenario in this campaign, I have changed one of the loyal units, Angiddon, from Burner to Fighter. Then the trait-modification replaced from the quick to the dextrous. It may cause crashing the game if the version cross with 0.2.4 or before, so I raised up the version to 0.3.0, instead of 0.2.5.

Other changes:
*installing Sneezy's English corrections, scenario 1-6, except one in the intro-file.
*fixing one of Alchemist ranged attack animations.
*fixing the storm ball/orb animations
*fixing a bug on scenario 8, Hidden Cave.
*polishing up scenario/map 8, Hidden Cave.
*balancing scenario 4, Landing.
*adding two villages on map 3, Naga Land.

I attach one each of new unit-images. Actually, Sword Drake is <Warrior + Arbiter>, and Drake Battler is <Blademaster + Warden>. It is okay in BfW 1.6 though.
Their swords are more Samurai-like, and they are back hand. Feedback about them will be very welcome, also.

thanks

[SkyOne]

The new version, 0.3.1, is on the Add-Ons.
Sneezy's English correction is now on every scenario. So the biggest problem on this campaign has been solved. I really appreciate to Sneezy.

As the other change:
Drakes in the default will not fly on the any terrains; however, on this campaign, they fly on the deep water, not on the shallow water anymore on this edition though. It will be considerable for me on 1.7/1.8.

P.S. FoaP is also uploaded today.


thanks

Edited on Nov, 21.

Now, this campaign is available on 1.7.8.

The work of the images for Drake Lord is still on the progress, and adding more images for Sword/Battler Drake is in the plan. (they look okay with the new drakes, so I keep them.)
The scenario 4, Landing was too difficult, so I modified it. Basically, this is not expert level. Also, some bugs have been fixed on the both latest edition, 0.3.2 and 0.4.0.

Because 1.7.8 is not prefect, yet, I leave one in 1.6.x. However, testing and reporting one in 1.7.8 will be a great help for not only just me, also even for the developers at this moment, I think. I decided drakes can fly on the deep water also in the lava and chasm terrains, so their flying behavior on this campaign is different from one in the default.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edited on Nov, 27

The new version 0.4.1 (for BfW 1.7.8 ) is on the add-ons.

*Drake Lord's minimum animations (13 images) have been installed.
*Fixed some bugs.
*modified some scenario/maps.

thanks again

Hello SkyOne, and thanks for making such good campaigns !
I'm playing both Fate of a princess (at wrok) and Brave wings (at home), and I found the former SO GOOD and well made that it is worth to become mainline, IMO.

However, I have a problem with Brave wings :
When loading scenario 3 ("Naga Land"), I get the following error message : "game error: Unknown unit type: <<Drake Lord>>", then back to the title screen.

I'm playing Brave wings v0.3.2 and Battle for Wesnoth 1.6.5 (french ingame language). Can you help me get past this error ?

Merci beaucoup, breversa!
What the flattery it is. I am so glad to hear it. and so nice to hear that you play a whole day my campaigns, and find some values on them. (not too much during the work though.) For FoaP, I can still cry for Ameck even I wrote the story.
It has taken for a year since I started creating the story, but now both campaigns are getting better. Thank you so much.

However, I have a problem with Brave wings :
When loading scenario 3 ("Naga Land"), I get the following error message : "game error: Unknown unit type: <<Drake Lord>>", then back to the title screen.

Oow, sorry about it. It was my careless mistake. I paid attention too much for both campaigns on 1.7/1.8. I uploaded the fixed version as 0.3.3 on the 1.6 server. You can cross with the version 0.3.2. Then please, restart from the scenario 3.

Another unit bug -- this time with Dultas.

1) In "Dwarvish Bandits", when Dultas dismounts from his gryphon, he keeps his airborne hit points. This reduces to full hits at the beginning of "Hidden Cave".

2) More serious -- although Dultas' unit description (as expected) indicates deep water impassible, he actually has a terrain cost of 1 in deep water. [see screen shot]
