Betrayal of Thaeylan: MP/SP campaign

[Konrad2]

S1
get passend -> get past

[H-Hour]

Thanks for playing Konrad2! What version are you playing? Did you mean "get passed" should be "get past"? I think "get passed" is the correct word in this case.

2.0.1 on 1.16

More context:
they can help you get passed the orcish lines -> they can help you get past the orcish lines

And I'm very sure that 'past' would be correct in this case.

S3
When Carennyn joins you, every unit on the map gets the 'loyal' marker. (FTR, Carennyn is still able to recruit.)

> And I'm very sure that 'past' would be correct in this case

You're right! I did some more reading on it and I was mistaken. I changed it to "get beyond".

> When Carennyn joins you, every unit on the map gets the 'loyal' marker.

Thanks! Fixed that. I'll wait until you're done to do a new release in case you find anything else.

Chapter 2
S1
The first Torchbearer, next to my allied leaders does not move. So if they are not killed, I won't have any Torchbearer support beyond the village.

[H-Hour]

Thanks for the replay! I love watching people play BoT. Want to share any more?

Can you explain a bit more what you were expecting to happen with the Torchbearer?

Spoiler:

The allied sides are programmed to stay in their villages/defenses. Without this, they have a bad habit of running out foolishly and getting cut to pieces. If that was confusing, I can maybe explain that better in the starting dialogue and objectives. Would that help? Or did you really want them to venture out with you at a certain point?

I'll put them all up once I'm done with the campaign.

Spoiler:

I think you were able to see that I was able to repell the undead from the villages with the Torchbearers help, but when I tried to finish the undead off, I immediatly had to back off because without the Torchbearers most of my units were useless against the undead.
I think what I want is an option to tell a village to send their units to fight from now on. So I can pick when to go on the offensive.
Also, in that case, please make it so that my allies have their turn after the enemy had it's turn, so my allies don't walk out, get cut to pieces, and then I arrive but my support is already gone.
Another option would be granting me 1 Torchbearer for each village I reach before it is overrun. Like 1 Torbearer default because I land in the first village, and another one if one of my leaders reaches the other village.

Btw, I'm also really unclear as to when my allies recruit or not. Like, at the end they had gold left, but they just stopped recruiting Torchbearers.

EDIT:
I think you can see that I rushed through the last few scenarios. (40min for the last 4 scenarios, 15 of those for the last one)

[H-Hour]

Thanks for the replays!

Spoiler:

I see what you're saying. I always intended the villagers to stay in their village to force the player to move out on their own. I've made a note of your recommendation and I'll think about it some more. In the meantime, I added a note to the objectives so the player understands they won't move out of the villages. And I really like your idea of switching the side order up. I've done that as well.

I'll upload a new version once I've watched through your replays, in case I noticed anything else. Thanks again for the feedback!

[H-Hour]

Version 2.0.2 is now available on the 1.16 addon server.

This releases fixes a bug that caused several units to get the loyal overlay. It also fixes a few minor issues and clarifies ally behaviour in one scenario. Thanks to Konrad2 for the feedback and replays.

[H-Hour]

Version 2.1 is now available on the 1.16 addon server.

This version adds a journey map of Ardunynn as well as several easter eggs and secret achievement bonuses. Let me know if you find one!

This release also ties up a few loose ends introduced in Order of Oerbrae, the sequel set in the aftermath of the events of this campaign.

[H-Hour]

Version 2.2 is now available on the 1.18 addon server.

[H-Hour]

Version 2.3.2 adds achievements to the campaign and is now available on the 1.18 addon server.

[Konrad2]

1.18, SP

S1
The Wolf Rider taking a village in turn 1 does not 'claim' the village (it still belongs to side 4).
Is it intentional that I have to enter a 'ruined' village twice before Eoin is found?

S2
Synn is spawned on 1,11, while the empty keep is on 2,10.

[H-Hour]

Thanks Konrad2! Both issues are are now fixed and 2.3.4 is up on the add-on server.

Spoiler:

Yes, I want it to be a little bit of an easter egg how it's actually achieved. (That's why I don't say much in the Achievements.)

[WLFobe]

Is there a downside to ending the battle before "Eoin" is found? Or is that just for an achievement?

Also, the victory conditions are incomplete. You can also win without exiting anyone. If you kill both leaders, you win the battle.
