Thanks! Any opinions or criticisms of the other scenarios would be appreciated as well

A few more comments so far...
Scenario 2 Rise of a Conqueror

Spoiler:

I really like all the dead unit images and half beaten units strewn about. This was a nice effect.

Scenario 3 Dwarfholt

Spoiler:

This one I'm having trouble. The main problem is the scenario objectives are not clear? I don't know where the armories are. I kept wanting to attack the center enemy, but I was unsuccessful. I had to peak at the cfg file and find out where the armories are (I guessed correctly that they were those outskirt villages). I will have to play this one differently. I won't attack the center enemy, but I will just take small groups to attack the armories and just ignore the center dwarve and capture those villages. Is this how you intended this scenario to be played? Do you have any recommended strategies?

Yeah, that is how I intended the scenario to be played. I thought that the objective seemed fairly clear from the Scenario Objectives, and I didn't really want to put labels on the map, but maybe I just had too much exposure to my thought process in creating the level. The story also mentions that the fort itself is too strong and that Cavanagh needs to raid the armories, but not everyone reads the story so I should likely make it more clear. The player is intended to make their way to the armories and capture them while avoiding the dwarves in high terrain or dragging them into bad terrain to kill. This scenario I originally liked the idea of quite a bit, but in actually making it work without relying too much on rng vs high defense dwarves was a bit of a problem. I did add rivers, roads, and peasants that you free which can be used for new advancement trees or bait to help with the process of manipulating the dwarves, but maybe it wasn't as helpful as I had hoped.

Let me know what you think, is it too hard? Are there too many enemies or does there just need to be more bait spots through the mountain, or more passable terrain for your units so the scenario doesn't get too boring? The scenario isn't meant to be a combat scenario btw, so if you go for more of a push at the armories and less of a fight with the dwarves you might have a better time at it.

Thanks a lot!
