Re: World Conquest II
Greetings,
Been playing this map in 2 player, and I must say it feels singleplayerish with the way the mapgen splits the players. There is low interaction between players. Would a clustered start option be possible, so in multiplayer you can mix your armies?
In map 2~3 we consistently start split and the enemy armies keep us split until it's been mostly won. Foolish me decided general was a fine difficulty, so I don't have anything to say about map 4~5.

Team interactions are a great part of WC and even though it may seem the game can be played mostly "every man for himself", having a common strategy with your ally is often the key to success. Mixing armies is not really a viable tactic, but there's definitely a lot of teamwork and assistance between allies. I've found having a strong teammate and rapport with them makes the game much more fun, and easier at the same time.
Re: World Conquest II
Hello, I apologize for be out of Wesnoth without any advice. I had a serious mental depresion that made my comunications with other people very difficult. I also want to thanks gfgtdf for mantain this add on, I deserve him the best in that task. I also want to give a hug to my old friendas jb and paso, who played with me a lot and helped so much in test. I feel very sorry for not being able to play Wesnoth anymore, my brain is no longer in sane mod, just too sad to concentrate in a game.
Be aware English is not my first language and I could have explained bad myself using wrong or just invented words.

Re: World Conquest II - translation feedback
Hi gents, translating WCII to italian I noticed some... issues:
- the campagn id is not translatable WC_II_1
Notes for translators report in it.po file
- same issue for "Difficulty" and "Version", this last one is missing also a space, maybe a colon ?
- "Get This Item" from bonus screen, same issue

Re: World Conquest II
hi,
first, thanks to dev to improve the AI. WC is more challeging now. when AI makes a front-line and attacks together, you know the game would be hard.
second, good that we can play WC without installing an add-on.
third, i notice 2 bugs :
- one is about the flight item : it does not give the 50% defense.
- the other is about plan unit advance : i set a shaman as elf sorc and i got a druid. my teammate said that he got the same bug. and i was not wrong about my choice : it is the second times.
fourth, epic trait. normally, it gives 60 XP at level2. now, the level1 gets also 60 XP ; it should his "normal" XP. and can you give the epic trait to unit with only level2? like ogre, orc assassin, gryphon, ulf. sometimes, archers get it !?
thanks for your good job.

For the plan unit advance thing, I don't think that's part of WC but rather the core game. However WC had its own PUA thing in it so I will be checking if one overrides the other.

thanks.
i am not sure but the PUA bug would appear only when you tick on "apply to all...".

Re: World Conquest II
To people who wanted monsters as an enemy faction in WC: can you elaborate on what/which monsters you want or would like to see as recruits/commanders?

Re: World Conquest II
Hello, just quick question about WCII: when playing single player on 1.16 it is always giving me three special points on the map (i.e. the ones that give the unit/training/special item). When I was playing WCII on 1.14 I think I remember that the number of those points was dependent on number of players, so single player would only have one of those points. Was it intentionally changed for 1.16 to include more points regardless of number of players, or is that a bug? Thanks very much!
Thank you to everyone who has worked on this game!

Re: World Conquest II
I gave this campaign a whirl recently and it's still great fun. I played the version that comes with Wesnoth 1.16.1 and a noticed a couple of minor issues.
1. We reached one of the 'points of interest' and discovered the item that gives cold melee and slows, but the elf that picked it up didn't get the usual overlay (or maybe they lost it later). The item worked as intended and the unit didn't require upkeep, so it's just a graphical thing, perhaps due to the deprecation of the overlay tag.
2. When choosing leaders I noticed that Vampire Bat and Falcon were listed as a recruit combo for the Empire faction, but they weren't available in-game (not that I really minded).
3. We gave the flight stick to a mage with disengage which worked a treat. However, it was a shame that the item didn't give 50% defence on all terrain which is what I would have expected.
4. The description for war banner is either misleading or the code is wrong. I gave it to an Orc Ruler, but the leadership bonus wasn't cumulative as stated. I got +20% for a unit of the same level, but only +25% for a lower-level unit. I expected +45%. Also, the description mentions "allies" which made me worry that it would only affect my team-mate's units. Maybe it should be reworded for clarity.

Banner is supposed to be cumulative with leadership, as it always has been. This is a bug in the new version that needs to be fixed, making it a feature would be the worst mistake ever. A huge part of World Conquest is giving the right item for the right unit, Banner with a level 4 Grand Marshal for example is a game-winning strategy, one of the best combos in the entire game and one which i personally used to basically walk over the 5th scenario with ease on more than one occasions. It's also a really fun and creative way to play, would be a real loss.
Please fix this asap.

Re: World Conquest II
This has been fixed in 1.17, however it isn't able to be fixed in 1.16 since it would cause OOS errors if players with the fixed version play with others who still have the unfixed version.
