Oath of Allegiance [SP Desert People Campaign for 1.13.5]

[Kwandulin]

I've published Oath of Allegiance 0.5 on the 1.13.x servers. Since I use several commands that were newly introduced by the 1.13.x series, I can't publish it on the 1.12.x servers without risking several bugs.

Changes:

• worked out the details of the last scenarios, added some 'surprising' events (e.g. the end of the scenario Ruins of Kthar) and varied the scenario goals (e.g. stopping a group of mercenaries)
• the scenario Depths of Isanbar is now more than just a riddle-scenario: if you manage to solve the riddles, you get a tasty bonus for Ilriel; if you fail to solve the riddles, yet are able to bring about Khazran's downfall, you are granted a tasty bonus for Dawoud.
• added villages to the scenario The Three Kings, so the player doesn't necessarily start with the minimum starting gold in the next scenario
• huge changes to the last scenario The Siege of Kesh
• underlined the importance of Nuvdael by granting him a unique hero unit type
• filled in the plot holes and revised the dialogues
• revised the AMLAs of Ilriel and Dawoud and changed Ilriel's appearance to match her spellpower
• Added a third advancement for Iskandar, which will be important for the last scenario
• fixed most of the unit descriptions
• added the Hurasch and fixed the attack specials of the wyvern rider

Thanks for your feedback, it helped me a lot to make reasonable changes. A lot has been done, yet there are still some things I'd like to work on in the future. Other than that I hope you enjoy the campaign!

PS: some teasers:

[Robbi373]

Hi there,

I just wanted to voice my appreciation for your work here
You have made a very interesting campaign, actually, I haven't even finished it. (3rd or 4th scenario, pretty hard for me on middle difficulty)
Just one question: Kesh? Did you get that name for a desert city from somewhere? *cough* Midkemia *cough*
I've finished the last book of R. Feist's series yesterday, and that reminded me of it.

[Kwandulin]

I got the name from the geography of the southern lands as depicted in the wiki. But I don't know who made it up and what may have influenced him.

Thanks for playing; I hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign!

[Konrad2]

bug: no early finish bonus for the first (fighting) scenario

[gooby]

Is the text in the beginning Turkish? What does it mean?

[Kwandulin]

Is the text in the beginning Turkish? What does it mean?

Yeah, at least it aims to be turkish, but I guess it's a very rudimentary Turkish that probably contains several errors. I know that the current solution isn't the best solution at all, but I don't want to lose the "foreignness" character of the desert men.

Summarising the dialogue, Ibn Khazul gives thanks to Dawoud for leading them to the forest and for finding "the woman with the golden eyes" (which obiously is Ilriel). They say that they can't avert the downfall of Serrul if they can't get Irliel to work with them and heal the (cursed) khalid of Serrul. They want to take her by force, but then she comes out of the forest, which surprises the desert guys quite a bit. Ibn Khazul then orders his hakim, who is able to speak the elvish language, to open negotiations and he is ordered to threaten them. And finally they take her.

In the beginning of the second scenario, they wonder why the elves didn't fight and they assume that the forests are very important to the elves and that the elves wouldn't like anybody to defile their forests. Ibn Khazul then says that they now have a bit more time to return to Serrul, but then a falcon appears which brings a letter that says that Serrul is under attack, so they decide that Ibn Khazul and his riders return to Serrul as fast as possible to repel the first onslaught of the aggressors from Kesh and that Dawoud follows with Ilriel. But after Ibn Khazul and his riders leave, some bandits linger after some easy prey, a battle takes place and the story takes its course. . .

[Whiskeyjack]

Hey Kwandulin, I really like your campaigns, they are a lot of fun to play.

Here are my notes on OoA 0.4.2 (mostly writing stuff, ranges from grammer/spelling mistakes to suggestions for better wording):

General notes:

For my liking the music switches way too much. There are some sequences where in one intermezzo the music switches multiple times, never even coming near to ending a piece.

Scenario 2: Drought:

Upon winning:

[…] Uthman is the sovereign of Kesh, a city in the east of the vast deserts of the south that is widely known throughout the lands of my kin for its strong military force, is a ruthless dictator. […] (line 467)

-> Uthman, the sovereign of Kesh, a city in the east of the vast deserts of the south that is widely known throughout the lands of my kin for its strong military force, is a ruthless dictator.

[…] The sky´s red, blood has already been shed this night. (line 477)

-> Does not make much sense since they themselves just had a battle…

Scenario 3: Peril:

Intro talk:

‘Trolls’? So that´s how your kin calls them? My kin calls them […] (line 204)

-> ‘Trolls’? So that’s how your kin calls them? My people call them […]

Elves appearing:

[…] My name is Narfi, prince of the Aethenwoods. Nuvdael sent me […] (line 334)

-> So that Nuvdael dude has the power to command princes from other Elvish forests?

. . . what? What did they insinuated to you? […] (line 354)

-> Whatever you wanted to say, insinuated is wrongly used here and the sentence grammatically incorrect. Could be something like ". . . what? Have they brainwashed you? […]"

[…] He shall judge upon her! (line 369)

-> He shall judge her!

They´ll leave us no other option. (line 374)

-> They leave us no other option.

Scenario 4: Wisper in the Sandsand most following scenarios:

Is it intended that one can´t move onto the hexes with boxes/barrels/other objects on them? (In the last scenario there is a ?trading cart? which can be moved upon, but that is the only working one I remember)

Scenario 5: The Pearl of the Desert:

Upon winning:

Dawoud and Ibn Khazul tell about the evil doings of Uthman and his failed attacks. (line 756)

-> Dawoud and Ibn Khazul gave an account of Uthmans evil machinations/schemes and his failed attacks. or Dawoud and Ibn Khazul reported the evil machinations/schemes of Uthman and his failed attacks.

[…] Uthman does not pose a thread to Serrul anymore, now, that he is heavily wounded, but Kesh won´t remain leaderless for a long time, sable warriors are already lusting for the throne. […] (line 761)

-> Uthman does not pose a threat to Serrul anymore, now, that he is heavily wounded, but Kesh won´t remain leaderless for long, as sable warriors are probably already lusting for the throne.

[…] It fills me with fortune, […] (line 810)

-> It fills me with joy/happiness/bliss

Ilriels transformation:
The unit is still called “Elvish Forest Spirit” which means that the renaming at line 804 does not work. (I also think that she should not completely adapt the 40% cover on forests so quick, that just doesn´t fit. I think it should go down to 60% or something like that. Going completely desert people mode in such a short time already seems strange enough, doesn´t need forsaking all her heritage IMO.)

Scenario 6: Face to Face with the Snake:

Intro:

[…] Little did they knew what lies behind. . . (line 292)

-> Little did they know what lay behind. . .

[…] a camp to where the wounded soldiers return to restore their health. (line 297)

-> a camp to which the wounded soldiers return to tend to their wounds.

Nuvdael and the ambush assemble:

[…] A conflict that I´ve been thrown in, too! (line 388)

-> A conflict that I´ve been thrown into as well!

Dawoud can not pick up the buckler despite him bearing one. (line 222)

Upon winning:

[…] You . . . thought interfering . . . into our lives […] (line 492)

-> interfering . . . with/ meddling . . . in

[…] Uthman would overrun the lands and take what does not belong to him! […] (line 537)

-> Uthman would have overrun the lands and taken what does not belong to him!

We are not here to discuss the concern as the discussion has already been hold and a decision has been made! (line 552)

-> We are not here to discuss your concerns as [the discussion has already taken place and] a decision has been made!

What a disgrace, Dawoud, we know you could do better! (line 562)

-> What a disgrace, Dawoud, we would have expected better of you!

Scenario 7: Isanbar:

[…] Unbeknownst that the use of magic is prohibited in the lands of the khalifate! (line 136)

-> Should be Khalifate I think.
-> Why do they say it is unbeknownst (=not known) to her? And why does she answer “I did not know”? Together this makes for a rather strange conversation.

Scenario 8: The Dephts:

The high king´s family of Wesnoth and of the Southern Deserts […] (line 242)

-> The family of the high king of Wesnoth and the Southern Deserts […]

That is right. For sure you´ve earned another chance. Yet know that I will not grant you another one. […] (line 260)

-> That is right. For sure you´ve earned a second chance. Yet know that I will not grant you another one.

Scenario 9: Three Kings:

If you can think of any explanation why I can recruit/recall units the inclusion of that would be nice. I thought only the 3 heroes were thrown into the pit!?

Intro talk

Kthar once was the capitol of the desert realms. Three Kings once ruled the lands; […] Soon they´d lose control over their own minds and […] (line 198)

-> Kthar once was the capitol of the desert realms and three kings ruled the lands; […] Soon had they lost control

[…] They´ve sworn that never again anyone dares to rediscover and make use of the secrets of magic. […] (line 203)

-> They´ve sworn that never again shall anyone rediscover and make use of the secrets of magic.

Scenario 11: Siegebreakers:

The scenario has the wrong name (line 6) which results in auto-saves, scenario-objectives etc. being shown as “The Siege of Kesh” which means that all saves/replays will be overwritten by the following scenario.

Intro:
Nuvdael suddenly has italic text!? Did he learn the Desert Tongue too?

[…] The roar of the wyverns can be heard. (line 133)

-> The roar of the wyverns could be heard.

Our kin […] They are untouched by our kin. […] (line 143)

-> They are untouched by civilization/people/the desert people/the people of the desert.

Capturing a Wyvern:
The wyvern is the one speaking, not the unit. (lines 198 ff.)

The loss conditions specify a Wyvern getting killed by enemy units but if they kill one this does not trigger a loss.

Upon winning:

It is time to safe my brothers now. (line 275)

-> save

Scenario 12: The Siege of Kesh:

How does one reach the bow? I did not find any way to do it.

No dialogue lines when hitting or killing Uzar.

Intro talk:

For too long have the Athvari hold us down! […] (line 311)

-> held

The secrets of your magic belongs to me! […] (line 374)

-> belong

Your doings are unexcusable, Uzar! […] (line 387)

-> inexcusable

Edit: Sorry, I just realized that the version on 1.12 is outdated which means that most of the above is useless now (including line numbers and everything concerning the last scenario). Hopefully some of that is still valid anyway and will be usefull for you.

[Kwandulin]

Thanks for your effort! It was very helpful indeed! I've applied your changes.

Is it intended that one can´t move onto the hexes with boxes/barrels/other objects on them? (In the last scenario there is a ?trading cart? which can be moved upon, but that is the only working one I remember)

The trading cart should depict a small weaponry. In the Pearl of the Desert there is one, too. Try visiting it with Uthain.
Yeah, the boxes and barrels have an unwalkable overlay and they are used by the trading post guards to form a barricade (at least that is what I am trying to show).

Nuvdael suddenly has italic text!? Did he learn the Desert Tongue too?

In the newest version he learns it in the depths of Isanbar

[doofus-01]

Hi,

Got some errors in the version currently on the BfW 1.12 server (campaign menu splash screen doesn't have a version number)

error display: could not open image 'units/khalifateuyanmak.png'
error display: could not open image 'units/khalifate\uyanmak_bob_1.png'
and some similar errors for that unit. It made the Kalifate leader invisible.

A second, minor issue is that the elf king in the intro has a distorted image in the side status panel. You can fix that by defining an image_icon in the unit file; a similar thing has been done with the mainline level 3 horsemen.

(I'm using BfW 1.12.4 on Linux)

[Kwandulin]

Fixed and uploaded the new versions on both 1.12 and 1.13. Thanks for the hint!

[Whiskeyjack]

Hey Kwandulin,

thanks for your work on this campaign, it´s become quite cool and I like the changes you made to scenarios like Siegebreakers, the new version is better by far! I still had fun playing the campaign despite knowing most of it.

Here is my feedback for 0.7.1 on 1.12 as usual some comments on gameplay/mechanics (some things don´t work, perhaps because the code only works for 1.13!?), but mostly spelling corrections and wording suggestions

Campaign menu:

I did not have the chance to choose a difficulty, is this intentional?

Description:

[…] and take part in an unforeseen and unmeant adventure that […]

-> unintentional/unplanned

Scenario 1: From afar:

An army approaches us? Hostile to us? How is this possible, Iriel? Our folk had always remained neutral! Who could simmer with rage against our kin?

-> Ilriel only speaks of a great danger -> “Is a hostile army approaching?”
-> simmer is a word that most aptly describes a concrete state of mind expressed in a physical way, not a hypothetical one of a hypothetical foe. -> Who could be filled with rage against our kin?
(I write this under the assumption that Nuvdael thinks the only explanation of Ilriel sensing said danger would be that someone bears ill feelings towards the forest(elves).)

Your decision is wise, woman of the forest. Verily it has spared the lifeblood of your kin.

->It has truly preserved the lifeblood of your kin.
(verily is strange here (except if it´s intentional for someone not entirely trained in the English (Elvish) tongue, which would be fitting) and spared follows this to a lesser extent.)

Scenario 2: Drought:

Intro talk:

Nuvdael's mourning could be heard across the lands. Yet Ilriel had been taken far away from her home.

-> Nuvdael's mourning could be heard across the lands, for Ilriel had been taken far away from her home.

[…] A clockwork of unfortunate acts is in progress; one of which you can not foresee its consequences. For sure the consequences would be disastrous. […]

-> A clockwork of unfortunate events is set in motion; you could not possibly foresee their consequences. They would be disastrous for sure/They would surely be disastrous.
(As Ilriel does not know of any of those events, it would be very strange if she could foresee the consequences of even one of those. If you want to specifically hint at a certain event here, just change back to singular form.)

Why had I´ve been chosen?

-> Why have I been chosen? / Why was I chosen? / Why would I be chosen?

I love the unit explanations on first recruitment. Quick notes:

Jundi explanation: Capitalize Khalifate and Jundi
Naffat explanation: Capitalize Khalifate and Naffat, the italic text looks somewhat strange with the indent.
Hakim explanation: Their motivations are many; -> Their motivations are manifold;
They are trained with the advanced medical techniques -> They are trained in advanced medical techniques
Capitalize Hakim, Arif, Jundi
Arif explanation: Arifs have the marksman weapon special -> Arif have the […]

Scenario 3: Peril:

Turn 5 info: Capitalize Khalifate

‘stoneborns’

-> ‘stoneborn’ should be singular as well as plural IMO (the stoneborn). Capitalization might be appropriate (as the point of concern is the word for the whole race and not the specimen at hand).

Finding Uthain:

[…] on the search of […] the trolls closed me in this mine […]

-> on the search for […] the trolls closed me in in / forced me [to retreat] into this mine

Elves arriving:

[…] It's time to end the tragedy!

-> It´s time to end this tragedy!

[…] If Uthman gets hold of Serrul […] His lust for might […]

-> takes hold of / gets a hold of […] lust for power

Scenario 4: Whisper in the Sands:

Intro:

The group marched for several weeks through the deserts, when suddenly. . .

-> The time words just don´t add up
-> The group marched for several weeks through the deserts, when one day suddenly. . .

[…] and Serrul will be cropped from its merchants.

-> cut off from (cropped is – as far as I can tell – referring to the harvesting of plants )

Falcon explanation: espy the map -> scry the map (if you want to go with this meaning, close and more commonly used would be scout/explore)

Scenario 5: The Pearl of the Desert:

The portrait of the Hurasch is very compressed and through that blurred (otherwise their weapons would not fit into the confines it seems, but it looks strange).

Intro:

[…] for sure he defended the city! […]

-> he certainly held/defended the city! / he held/defended the city for sure!

[…] My group have brought down […] The morale of the troops drop, […]

-> My unit has/soldiers/forces have (/my group has) brought down […] The morale of the troops is sinking (/drops), […]

[…] whatever arises at the horizon!

-> on the horizon

[…] It may not be interrupted.

-> It must not be interrupted.

Upon winning:
Dawoud talks again about his Oath of Allegiance -> capitalization might be in order.

[…] For sure he is responsible for the curse! […]

-> Surely he is responsible/to blame for the curse as well!

Ilriels transformation still doesn´t work (lines 718ff), but while it at least triggered the message in the last version I played, I now don´t even get a hint about it.

Also, if the transformation does not include more movement points: An AMLA to get Ilriel at least to 6 would be nice (or perhaps even as default, as she is a hero unit).
Since Dawoud is level 2 the leadership AMLA on him is almost useless.
The Bow Mastery AMLA on Nuvdael only specifies +2 damage, but also increases the number of attacks by 2 (extremely powerful for 1 point, almost useless if only the one damage increases once. Perhaps split it to 2 times and give 1 damage and attack each?)

Scenario 6: Face to Face with the Snake:

Intro:

[…] Little did they knew what lay behind. . . (line 292)

-> Little did they know what lay behind. . .

[…] remained . . . unatoned? […]

-> would remain . . . unatoned?

I had never been able to reject one wish of you, Ilriel. […] The union purposive, nothing more!

-> I have never been able to reject one of your wishes, Ilriel. […] The union functional/A union in purpose, nothing more!

Scenario 8: The Dephts:

I like your new version of this scenario (or rather: the story it tells) a lot. Very cool!

Intro:

I am afraid we can not overlook the whole situation yet. Uthman embraced his death, for sure there is a greater power behind his back. […] whoever it is; now that Uthman is dead.

-> I am afraid we can not understand/comprehend the whole situation yet. Uthman embraced his death, there is probably/certainly/surely a greater power behind his back (for sure). […] whoever it is, now that Uthman is dead.

Your point of arrival had been unfavorable for your kin, yet it was favorable for our, as it had given my warriors […]

-> Your time of arrival has been unfortunate for your kin, yet it was favorable for my own, as it has given my warriors […]

Even the wisest men of our kin […]

-> Even the wisest of my people […]
(Just to trim down the usage of “kin” a little, the word feels a little… overboarding in its frequency. )

[…] Verily, you can consider yourself lucky that the Athvari did not capture you during the old times. It´d equal a death sentence.

-> Truth be told, you can / You can truly […] It´d equal a sentence worse than death.

We have to find out where the Sphere is and what it is that controls. […]

-> that controls it / that holds/has control of it

[…] You´ll have to bring their bloodline back to the glory . . .

-> to glory

You know to much, already, desert men! […]

-> You already know too much, desert men!

Defeating Khazran:

We are not save anymore! [...]

-> safe

Scenario 9: Three Kings:

Intro:

[…] went deeper into the massif. . .

-> ventured/went deeper into the ancient caverns. . .

For sure their names invoke […]

-> Their names still invoke […]
-> Timeline: So the Athvari were founded 500 years ago, but lost their most important artifact 400 years ago, which only now starts to truly procure problems. Seems strange to me. Did you perhaps include a zero too much for the time of losing the Sphere as told in The Depths of Isanbar? 40 years would make a lot more sense…

[…] who sought for might […] And a few khalids offered protection […]

-> power,Khalids

[…] If the sphere lands into the hands of […]

-> Sphere falls

Turn 12:
Whats the purpose of this dialogue? I have long since lighted the fires and nothing actually happens at that moment…

Upon winning:
The first lines of Dawoud sound a little awkward. Also, didn’t we just beat the three kings? Some suggestions:

The catacombs have been filled with light and a wall broke down in the north east! This might be our chance to escape and return back to the daylight! Yet be careful, I sense the presence of the three kings of old. . .

-> We have dispelled the darkness in these catacombs and it seems a wall broke down in the north east to open an old passage! […] Yet be careful, I do not know/am not sure if the three kings of old are banished for long. . .

Scenario 10: Ruins of Kthar:

Intro:

[…] I can not undo their doings, […]

-> I can not undo/take back their deeds, [...]

[…] and for sure we will stand side by side with the Athvari. […]

-> And we will readily stand side by side with the Athvari.

[…]as my brothers had been captured and […]

-> have

Killing all enemies does not trigger victory (managed it at turn 19).

Upon winning:

Then it is time to agitate, Iskandar!

-> Then it is time to take action, Iskandar!

So mote it be!

-> Not sure, if you actually want to use this or change it back to may/shall, sounds a little too archaic for me… (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_mote_it_be)

Scenario 11: Sandthorn Pass:

The Wyvern-slaying-event does not work (neither the rider transformation nor the poisoned weapons).

The Big Bad Boss does not move and stays at his starting position.

The teleport-ability given by the cloak is somehow broken, it allows teleporting by using any unoccupied village (not only ones owned by your side).

Scenario 12: The Siege of Kesh:

Intro:

Kesh! It is said its walls had been built on the bones of the enemies of Kesh. Forsooth this is no gem of our civilisation!

-> Kesh! It is said, its walls have been built on the bones of its enemies.
-> Isn´t this contradictory? The city is built on the bones of their enemies, but not of their civilization? If this was aimed at Kesh being their long-time enemy, civilization is too broad a term as it would still encompass both groups to be of one civ IMO.

The sphere expulses magic, a kind of magic I've never encountered before!

-> I don´t think this is the word you were looking for here. Try emanates/oscillates/radiates/is pulsating with/is radiating. I´d cut the “magic, “.

The world known by your eyes will bow down to Kesh […]

-> to your eyes

The body turned to dust! In a blink of an eye!

-> The blink of an eye!

Ah! It has to be the servants of Ridwan! Now the ceremony can find its end!

-> Ah! Those have to be the servants of Ridwan! Now the ceremony can come to an end!

Your doings are inexcusable, Uzar!

-> deeds

And yet you there is nothing you can do! […]

-> And yet there is nothing you can do!

The porwer of the friends of the Athvari, however, did not run dry!

-> power

We shall judge upon you, Uzar! Your misdeeds are unforgotten!

-> We shall pass judgement (up)on you/bring judgement to you, Uzar!

Win conditions:
It says “This is the last scenario.” and also “The Athvari you´ve freed won´t be taken into the next scenario!” which is kinda redundant (and the next scenario is talk-only anyway).

Defeat Uzar and rescue all Athvari, then move Iskandar, as a L3 High Athvari, to the Sphere of Thrangh’ual

-> Should be L4

Nuvdael can´t take the bow, despite him being an elf using one. Nuvdael is buggy and can take the Weapon Expertise [1/3] an unending number of times (he gets [2/3] and [3/3] as parallel options to this).

This level has become far too easy without the crazy waves of enemies that were spawned at the start of the last version not to mention the considerable fighting power of the Athvari, once freed. I didn´t even lose a unit and I got no Wyverns for stronger facetank (see Sandthorn Hills)

Upon engaging the Sphere:

If we don’t take care about the Sphere of Trangh’ual, men will come, recognize its power and abuse it. […]

-> take care of the Sphere

Bear up, Iskandar. We are right behind your back.

-> Stand strong, Iskandar. We have your back/are right behind you.

Brothers! Athvari! Let us cast the spell contain the power of the Sphere. […]

-> Let us cast the spell to contain

Scenario 13: Returning the Sphere:

Seconds as long as eons, time passed as if time itself had stopped. The light that has blinded them for what felt like ages, diminishes and Ilriel finds herself on top of the high mountains of Isanbar. . .

-> Seconds as long as eons passed, as if time itself had stopped. The light that had blinded them seemingly for ages diminished and Ilriel found herself on top of the high mountains of Isanbar. . .
(keep the time consistent. I´m not a fan of present tense, thus my suggestion to go with past tense as in the first sentence, but feel free to switch it up if you like present tense better.)

Yet it had been our centuries ago and it managed to wrest from us. […]

-> it managed to wrest free of us/it was wrested from us nonetheless.

Most of this actually sat for almost a month in my documents, but I just now found the time to finish the campaign. I hope the feedback helps (especially the few gameplay/bug reports).

Spoiler:

Thanks for putting me into the credits

[Kwandulin]

Hey Whiskeyjack!

Sorry for the late reply, time passes quickly these days. I'd like to respond to some points you mentioned.

I did not have the chance to choose a difficulty, is this intentional?

Yes, this is intentional. Maintaining and setting up different difficulties is a not-so-fun-thing about creating a campaign. Instead, I am trying to implement some sort of 'liquid difficulty' over the course of the next smaller updates, i.e. optional sidequests (e.g. killing the saurian seer in the Sandthorn Hills) that can be completed with only a few losses if the player feels like he is well-off. The player may aswell just ignore those additional sidequests if he already faces problems.

I love the unit explanations on first recruitment.

They are the english unit descriptions of the main game, so all the credit goes to the language-guys.

Ilriels transformation still doesn´t work (lines 718ff) [...]
Also, if the transformation does not include more movement points: An AMLA to get Ilriel at least to 6 would be nice (or perhaps even as default, as she is a hero unit).
Since Dawoud is level 2 the leadership AMLA on him is almost useless.
The Bow Mastery AMLA on Nuvdael only specifies +2 damage, but also increases the number of attacks by 2 (extremely powerful for 1 point, almost useless if only the one damage increases once. Perhaps split it to 2 times and give 1 damage and attack each?)

Fixed these. Thanks for the hint. Dawoud now got an 'inspire' ability, that pushes the damage output of any nearby friendly unit by +25%

Timeline: So the Athvari were founded 500 years ago, but lost their most important artifact 400 years ago, which only now starts to truly procure problems. Seems strange to me. Did you perhaps include a zero too much for the time of losing the Sphere as told in The Depths of Isanbar? 40 years would make a lot more sense…

Yeah, that is pretty odd. I changed it accordingly. I also fixed the buggy Sandthorn Hills scenario and rest of the mentioned points.

I've uploaded the new version Oath of Allegiance v.0.8.0 on the add-on server of 1.12/1.13.

I can't stress enough how much you've helped me to improve the campaign, especially regarding the wording and the gameplay! Thanks a ton!

[Daniel17022002]

Got a little problem .I started playing this campaign on 1.13. (PS: I am a total fan of add-ons) . I think it was one of the best campaigns existing if not in top 3 or even better! I finally understand the Khalifate now. you don't know how much trouble I had with that race! thanks a ton! problem : I think the campaign I downloaded wasn't the final version even if I was on 1.13.4 ... something is different at the graphics of Ilriel than on the last pic. u showed some comments before. Mine is just.... more in a moving pose or something....

[Kwandulin]

I think the campaign I downloaded wasn't the final version even if I was on 1.13.4 ... something is different at the graphics of Ilriel than on the last pic. u showed some comments before. Mine is just.... more in a moving pose or something....

If you downloaded v0.8.0, it is the correct one. The graphics of Ilriel have changed from v0.7.0 -> v0.8.0, though, that's right.

Glad you like it!

[michchar]

Don't know if it's something on my end, but the inspire ability doesn't seem to work for me. Other than that, loving the campaign so far!
