1.18.0 - Incursion - Biased RNG
146 Starting Gold.

2 This was very easy.
(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
It is clear, no issues here.
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Seems kinda of acceptable, since we are in rush to escape I can agree with Dacyn pov.
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
Nothing.
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
6 1 Bonus point for the surprise undead pursuit.
(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
I think its good as it is now, see 8.
(8) Replay/Other notes.
Ok taking as base my previous review of the old version this one seems better, it's not frustrating like it was previously so its a big plus.
Also dealing with the troll could be a little dangerous but mages just melt him, i think that is what makes it easy at the most.
This replay has a major restart at the last turn, because I was dump and I forget to take both the collectibles.
Also ignore the fact of my suicide HI against the undead, I thought I could "delay" they from progressing inside, heh that back fired completely, RIP Tiran.

(1) Invasion, 1.18
(2) Diffculty probably depends completely on veterans from S1, but not high
(3) Clear
(4) Dacyn in particular continues to be well characterised
(5) Mostly just a case of avoiding getting stuck in a chokepoint with trolls and dwarf fodder
(6) 6
(7) Another solid improvement on the original. I like the cleared shroud trail - it makes navigating the scenario the first time easier. Probably could have played this scenario better but it doesn't really matter either way. Splitting Gweddry from the others didn't really speed things up, the rocklobber was killed by the Dwarves after deciding to melee the fearless shock trooper(?) and I advanced the quick, resilient mage to a red mage to improve the odds of getting Dacyn the Troll leader kill but I'm not sure it was worth it.

Invasion, 1.18.0
Redesigned map, can't remember the old one very well so idk if this one is better. Seems fine. The troll AI is hard to decipher, like many instances in this campaign it's difficult to see what is safe and what is not.
It's nice that you can recruit fencers now. And that Gweddry can get some exp rather than needing to exit the tunnel personally.

(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on? Invasion (Difficult) 1.18.4
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 4
(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives? Clear
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario? Very good
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario? I just recruited one spearman and one bowman, then rushed through the dwarf tunnel. Lost the spearman trying to get the quiver and kill the troll for some exp, while Dacyn slipped towards the exit. Stayed one extra turn so that I could give the kill to my bowman.
Replayed this scenario to prepare for S4c, I recruited for 2 turns instead of 1, and killed all the trolls instead of running away. Finished on the very last turn, and had to restart once because it took too long to kill the leader.
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10) 5
(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun? None, just a little breather
