Nay!
That was our original attempted solution but it does not seem to work. Maybe because [goal] only affects "move targets" and not attack targets, according to the wiki.Lord-Knightmare wrote: ↑May 12th, 2021, 7:11 pm Or, if you really want the elves to ignore the gates, but prioritize the drakes, I suggest you utilize goal tags to assign zero values to gates and a really highly value to drakes.
I finally got what looks like a working solution yesterday though-- filtering with the attacks aspect. Hopefully now the scenario works as it was designed to, with elves focusing on the player forces while the woses act as battering rams breaking down the gates so elves can flood in faster and with less ways to stop them. I just have to rebalance with weaker undead resistance to compensate for this...

Re: Wings of Valor 2.0.5 (Drake Campaign for BfW 1.14)
This line seems like it's trying to link to the position of a "quartermaster", who would be in charge of the provisions; however, that doesn't really work, because the "quarter" in "quartermaster" has nothing to do with food and more to do with "living quarters".benkenobiwan wrote: ↑May 10th, 2021, 1:42 pm "Provisions were quartered" > Not sure if this is supposed to mean provisions were stored somewhere or if they reduced provisions to one-quarter of the usual. "Provisions were laid up" or "Provisions were halved" are more clear.
Therefore, the only reasonable reading of this would be "the provisions were divided in four parts", but even if that's what you meant, it's a strange way to say it.
I definitely find this line confusing too. I'd never seen this usage of the word "deranged" until just now. Note: "despised" is probably not a valid substitute from what I can tell.benkenobiwan wrote: ↑May 10th, 2021, 1:42 pm"The merfolk have deranged us for centuries" > deranged is an extremely rare verb so it almost seemed like a typo I like the drake's verbose speech, but I think this one will confuse people. The definition is to disturb operation/function. Have the merfolk been sabotaging some drake effort? Alternative words: despised, plagued, harassed, meddled in our affairs, or disrupted.
I'm not sure if I agree on your interpretation of "prevail through", but it certainly is a strange construction and definitely doesn't have the meaning you intended if "them" refers to the enemies, so this suggestionbenkenobiwan wrote: ↑May 10th, 2021, 1:42 pm"We will prevail through them" > this means that merfolk will be the cause of Gorlack prevailing, rather than what he has to prevail against. "We shall drive on through them" or "We shall prevail against/despite/over them" are more clear.
is spot on.
This one seems like a matter of opinion, as both "due haste" and "all haste" sound correct. Of course, they have different meanings, with "due" here meaning something like "enough" or "sufficient" while "all" means "maximum". In other words, "all haste" is more hasty than "due haste". It may indeed be better to use "all haste", but I can't say this for certain/benkenobiwan wrote: ↑May 10th, 2021, 1:42 pm"We must retreat to the eyrie with due haste" > "all haste"
I don't think your argument about repayment here is valid. Just because someone does something ultimately self-serving that ends up helping you does not mean that they do not deserve repayment, reward, compensation, or the like.benkenobiwan wrote: ↑May 10th, 2021, 1:42 pm"I will repay you this" > "I will repay you for this." Actually, that line doesn't make sense. I assume it's supposed to foreshadow Reshan's sacrifice, but why would Gorlack deserve repayment? Sure, Gorlack is saving them, but he's also saving himself. You could change the line to "You got me out of that cave alive, now I'm going to get you out of this one."[/list]
I think it's fine, to be honest. I don't think the animacy of something is a high priority in deciding what to call it.benkenobiwan wrote: ↑May 10th, 2021, 1:42 pm"Land gliders" > It seems a little odd that Reshan would label inanimate ships "Sea gliders" and then see a living horse and call it a "Land glider" both as a reference to his own caste.
…huh? Who would ever see lower-case and think "sadness"? As far as I know, there's no such association in any written medium?
Re: Wings of Valor 2.0.5 (Drake Campaign for BfW 1.14)
Yeah it does sound strange; it has been changed to "halved" in the development version.Celtic_Minstrel wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 11:23 pm Therefore, the only reasonable reading of this would be "the provisions were divided in four parts", but even if that's what you meant, it's a strange way to say it.
Since this is two votes against "deranged", the line has been changed to: "Long have the merfolk harried us. Now they choke our passage across their ocean realm."Celtic_Minstrel wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 11:23 pm I definitely find this line confusing too. I'd never seen this usage of the word "deranged" until just now. Note: "despised" is probably not a valid substitute from what I can tell.
Changed to: "We shall overcome them as so we always have."Celtic_Minstrel wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 11:23 pm I'm not sure if I agree on your interpretation of "prevail through", but it certainly is a strange construction and definitely doesn't have the meaning you intended if "them" refers to the enemies, so this suggestion
is spot on.
Yeah, all haste fits the emergency nature of the situation better, so I went with benkenobiwan's suggestion.Celtic_Minstrel wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 11:23 pmIn other words, "all haste" is more hasty than "due haste". It may indeed be better to use "all haste", but I can't say this for certain.
Though benkenobiwan did read the combination of context and grammatical stylization correctly.Celtic_Minstrel wrote: ↑May 15th, 2021, 11:23 pm…huh? Who would ever see lower-case and think "sadness"? As far as I know, there's no such association in any written medium?
The idea here is that while:
ALL CAPS IS OFTEN USED FOR SHOUTING...
all lower case may suggest a quiet, perhaps weary and defeated tone...
lacking the power and formality we once heard in the voice of this character before his fall

Re: Wings of Valor 2.0.5 (Drake Campaign for BfW 1.14)
While I can't say there's no logic to your choice here, it's something I've never seen and would probably never guess. If I saw an all-lower-case sentence, I'd just assume you forgot to capitalize it. Note that all caps for shouting is also fairly rare in literature from what I've seen, though it is at least an established trend so I'd definitely recognize it when I saw it.name wrote: ↑May 17th, 2021, 2:50 am Though benkenobiwan did read the combination of context and grammatical stylization correctly.

If you want a typographical indication of a quieter voice, I would suggest just using a smaller font size.
Re: Wings of Valor 2.0.5 (Drake Campaign for BfW 1.14)
I think a stumbling block here is the impression that WoV is meant to:Lord-Knightmare wrote: Most of us revere Drakes as an honourable and yet, warlike race. Seeing them being degraded to beasts and savage like behaviour in their "mainline" campaign really sets a bad example for the drake lore lovers.
1) Be the one and only drake campaign that will ever be mainlined.
2) Represent a static drake culture that would not change or evolve over the mainline timeline.
3) Overwrite existing drake depictions in mainline like the character Krash from Northern Rebirth or the drake colony on Bilheld in Dark Waters.
Yet the intention with WoV is the exact opposite in each of the above cases.
One of the goals of the 2.0 WoV story line rewrite was to begin an epic three part history of the evolving Drake civilization over the official timeline:
~3Y W to ~20 YW:
~21 YW to 550/600 YW:
~600 YW to 900/1000 YW (or just before the Great Fall):

Good suggestion, I will make this the first alternative.Celtic_Minstrel wrote: ↑May 17th, 2021, 3:10 am If you want a typographical indication of a quieter voice, I would suggest just using a smaller font size.
I have some concern a small font will make the text more difficult to read for the visually impaired, but small text is already used for whispered lines in mainline, so I guess it does not matter.

Winds of Fate 3.0.0 (Drake Campaign for BfW 1.15.13 and up)
Tired of those same objectives every scenario? Does your name brand drake campaign keep changing its title on you? Introducing...
Winds of Fate 3.0.0, a drake campaign aiming for mainline inclusion, is now available on the Wesnoth 1.15.x add-on server!
For BfW 1.15.13 and up.
Brought to you by name & SigurdFireDragon
Changes:
---- Redesign of most scenarios' gameplay with story adjustments and lore additions mixed in. ----
S01: A new wild creature and more hidden events adding to the story and lore.
S02: New objectives, an all new enemy unit, more enemy unit spawning variety and additional story.
S02x: Adjusted lore.
S03: The classic returns (with 1.15's improved AI).
S03x: Adjusted story and added some new lore hints.
S04: New objective and adjusted story and lore.
S05: New objective, another all new enemy unit, added dangerous wildlife, additional player allies and some added story.
S05x: Map adjusted to show newly constructed Eyrie and other drake renovations to the Three Sisters.
S06: More enemy unit variety, more player reinforcement unit types, and some story adjustments.
S06x: Lore additions and story adjustments.
S07: Brand new forest fire mechanic and some story adjustments.
S08: Some drake-and-saurian-friendly map changes and removed undead income, balanced with elves overcoming their hatred of gates to focus on the player. More story and lore.
S09: New objective and all new map. New enemies, flow and pacing. Story adjustments.
S10: Refined objective and all new map. Enemy spawns most units in waves. More daylight turns for player. Much more player village_income because the drakes are at an established Eyrie.
S11: New objectives and all new map. Added player allies and redesigned enemy's strategy. Much more player village_income because the drakes are at an established Eyrie.
Moved most enemy income over to village_gold, so taking enemy villages now has a much bigger impact in most scenarios that involve enemy recruiting and are not survival or escape objectives.
Additional story artwork added.
With this 3.0 release, we have now done two big overhauls in response to everyone's constructive and thorough feedback. The result is a whole new campaign with little or no overlap remaining with the old Wings of Victory, besides what is already mainline canon from the Rise of Wesnoth and the ferocious stories of drakes from mythology.
Hope you enjoy it!

Re: Winds of Fate 3.0.0 (Drake Campaign for BfW 1.15.13 and up)
I have arrived to report a bug that requires immediate patching.
This allied Sea Serpent refuses to move from its spawned location.
Please fix this so I can resume playing and give my review.

Thanks for the bug reports!
So I will move the appearance of the Sea Serpents to the end of turn 6 (from the end of turn 4) and then the southern serpent should attack on its first fresh move. This should fix the issue of the cowardly looking sea serpent while not making defeating the southern leader too easy, hopefully.
I was not able to reproduce these errors using 1.15.3 but it looks like you are using 1.15.3+dev right?
It could be this is something that has changed since the 1.15.3 release...

I played from your saves and it looks like the Sea Serpent only attacks at dusk on turn 7, once the time of day is favorable, at which point it did eat the southeast mermish leader in one go...Lord-Knightmare wrote: ↑May 28th, 2021, 5:15 pm This allied Sea Serpent refuses to move from its spawned location.

I can't reproduce the issue with S05 either on my own or using your saves. I'm running today's master build.
What build are you on, how are your building, & have you tried a cache purge?

(latest commit as of the time of this post)Oddly enough, the Invalid Warnings stopped after I obliterated most of Side 2, so maybe it was their AI code.
Anyways, Here is my review so far of the new Winds of Fate:

I did finally get the error in S05 when the side two ai attacked.
Might be a change in master branch after 1.15.13 was released, might be something else.
