You could easily add a note to the campaign name and/or description in the campaign menu which says that you need to get EoMa in case you don't have it.

Code: Select all

#ifnhave ~add-ons/Era_of_Magic/_main.cfg
<You don't have Era of Magic>
#endif

Great! I didn't know about #ifnhave thing. Thank you

Im playing in the hardest level and it sometimes likes to easy

I am sure you won't be able to win scenario 14 (Far North) on this level of difficulty. Only normal level is balanced. If you have any ideas how to make other levels more balanced, tell me.

Sounds great, screenshots look amazing.
Downloading now, and will wait until I have played a bit before giving too much praise....

Spoiler:

Just played Kagatta - most indepth scenario I have ever played.

I loved the random enemy generator, as it forced me to keep my units in a tight circle, and it wasn't too overwhelming.
I finished it in 90 turns (But I got every single item ) And I enjoyed the whole thing. Normally I hate long scenarios.

I also enjoyed the collapsing path, though I had to reload several times to station my units further along the bridge to avoid destruction.

The only thing I didn't like was how the golden carpet + gold chest was too well hidden... I had to debug in a carpet rider because I couldn't stand missing that reward after I had gotten everything else.

The walking-over-the-statue thing was cool, and it was overall a very enjoyable scenario compared to the other cave scenarios I have played.

My game crashed again after that scenario was over. Maybe the graphics are too overwhelming for the game engine at times... Still, this is at the top of my campaign list

EDIT:

Spoiler:

On Chaos, You get pulled into the rift at a pace of 4 moves a turn... All of my units can escape that easily, so it is impossible for any to get sucked in. I didn't know if this was planned or not.

On the Mag-Magar attack scenario, there is a "loosed" in there... I forgot the context but I remember that it was misplaced.

[Matherton]

Great campaign! I am stuck on Mag-Magar at the moment... I am not convinced that it is hopeless YET, but I am somewhat discouraged. I may start over... but regardless, lovely work!

[Matherton]

I have decided to start over... I am currently doing the scenario Southern Nations, and I have just realized that the Efreeti you get in this scenario don't appear later on your recall list... do they? I should admit that I haven't been paying much attention to the storyline, so it is possible that there is a reason for this, but... it would be really cool if you could keep them. Also, if memory serves, you don't get to keep the lizards you rescue in a later scenario... also, is there any such thing as carryover gold in this campaign or do you start each scenario with a set amount? I know that most of the scenarios (at least most of the ones I've seen so far) have unlimited turns, so there is presumably no early-finish bonus, but you could get a flat % of remaining gold. I apologize if this is the case already and it has simply escaped my observation...
I'm not sure that any of these remarks are exactly criticism, especially since I am really enjoying this campaign, but they are my ruminations on the thing thus far, and as such may be useful to you.

You don't get the Efreetis
You don't get the lizards either
You do get carryover gold, however; unless they don't want you to (a.k.a want you to start with a set amount). You don't get early finish bonuses, of course. Just a 80% or 40% carryover.

I have almost died in the 2nd map in that siege of lizards in the sand (wtf a lv1 summoner upgaraded to the lv3 in only a map!!) That summoner was very very useful to survive (I got a heavy one, it gives magic res to your alies units).

I got the magical Scimitar 14-3 with my leader in that mision of exploring the ancestral's cave. I need to finish the map soon =)

[inferno8]

Spoiler:

The Efreetis belong to the army of Sud-Affar. Mehir had to give them back, gold too.
The rescued lizards returned to the Jungle of Life.

That's right.

And they are. Keep posting them, if you find something else

Spoiler:

Wait a few turns, it will wear off. You will figure out what is happening later. Just keep attacking her with different attack styles. Idk if that what stops it, but it worked for me.

Spoiler:

On the scenario "Enlightenment" you have to have HoRashti and DharmaRashti next to each other when you kill Aerius the second time or a weird error occurs. Why does this happen?

[inferno8]

@shadowhawke: which version of BfW do you have? Could you tell me more details about that 'weird error'?

[IPS]

I friend has comment once about the campaing: the Rhami and the Summoners are that useful to don't recruit Cammels riders, Carpet riders or Water elementals because they must be almost totally useless.

I was thinking in his comment and I tought I was playing with only summoners and with some Rhamis only.

I used only the carpet riders and the Cammel riders in the 3rd map (when you help the lizards againist the barbarians) there was an anoying Cyclop Destroyer and slowing it was very very useful to kill it after and the cammel riders arrive easly to the enemies. But after that map, I did not used more the cammel riders ... after when the game started to be hard, I used only my high level summoners and after when I could recruit Rhamis I did ... but many maps with only summoners and I beated all those maps in the hardest level.

I'm playing this in 1.8.4, all I can say is that it is completely awesome. The multi-hex art is completely unique and incredible, and I love the units (have never played era of magic before this)!

I could have died laughing when the saurian got clubbed across the screen

No errors so far, which I think is great for a campaign just recently posted on the add-on server.

EDIT: Major error - playing third scenario with orcs/cyclops vs lizards with me thrown in.

Game crashed during saurian/lizard/wyvern turn... just shut off unexplainably.

Stderr.txt says:

I think I know what happened, make you sure to have ALL the TLU complements, they are necesary to play the campaign.

If you don't have a complement in a X map you will have a error and not continue.

the Rhami and the Summoners are that useful to don't recruit Cammels riders, Carpet riders or Water elementals because they must be almost totally useless.

Camel Riders are very useful for me - they can have a stronger melee (sometimes range) than novice summoners, and move faster. Carpet Riders are VERY useful for slowing and ZOCing. Water elementals heal +4 and are the only healing units, so I would not say that they are useless

The Rhami are only useful for what they level into later (or for picking up a secret item in a level I won't tell you), and their 4-4 attack which can sometimes be useful.

Also, you can summon rhami and elements adjacent to a summoning unit, which is easier than making them walk from a keep (if you are far away).

No, I reloaded campaign and worked fine. Temporary error, I guess. Besides, I downloaded from the full-compiled file on the first page.
