(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on?

Easy. v1.18. I should note that my version of "easy" has two self-imposed "ironman" rules: #1 No save-scumming, you roll with the RNG no matter how unlucky you are. #2 If you are defeated, the whole campaign is over and it's back to the first level.

(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)

3. The fires here remind me in a good way of the first level from “An Orcish Incursion,” where you have to avoid fires that are being set in a forest as you fight. It’s a neat tactical problem to overcome!

(3) What did you think about the dialog and story?

I felt sorry for the elvish princess until I read her diary. I have no idea what the deal was with an oak tree that smelled like a fig tree? What was that a reference to?

(4) What were the major challenges you faced?

Obviously, you want your initial attack to be as devastating as possible. That means attacking during the right time of day and hopefully eliminating an enemy leader. But I made a huge error due to a misunderstanding. When the princess talked about losing her handmaiden to her jaguars I thought I was being given an optional subquest, and that I could go into the jaguar pen looking for the handmaiden/diary without triggering full elvish hostility. So my drakes were not in an optimal position when all heck broke loose.

(5) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)

8. Fun.

(6) What suggestions do you have to make it more fun?

Maybe it could just be emphasized that looking for missing handmaidens/diaries is NOT a subquest.

(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on? Hard 1.18.4
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 7
(3) What did you think about the dialog and story? Very good, diary adds a nice touch, as does the bit about the yew

(4) What were the major challenges you faced?
I used to try to assassinate all the leaders, like the walkthrough suggests, but this time I opted to just focus on 3 of them and take my time with the woses and merfolk. This was alot easier, as the other 2 leaders are much more dangerous if left alone. The only challenge after that was to be patient enough to slowly smoke out the woses hiding in the forest without losing units.

(5) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10) 7
(6) What suggestions do you have to make it more fun? None

Hard, 1.18.4.

(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
4

(3) What did you think about the dialog and story?
I loved it! Especially the princess diary and the general chaos and their stupidity in that kingdom.

(4) What were the major challenges you faced?
Nothing really. I grouped in equal commandos of 3 units next to both elvish leaders and then hold a defensive line and burned all the trees (both terrain and the woses).

(5) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
9

(6) What suggestions do you have to make it more fun?
It was perfect actually! The story, the unusual behaviour of the terrain, the fast pace of the battle on small map, everything.
