Clanhoof Highlands (campaigns pack)

[hermestrismi]

Sorry, wasn't clear - I downloaded 0.0.7 (I'm using v1.18.1) and started from the beginning.
If you view the replays you'll see I was very lucky with levelling the peasants - things could've gone very differently...

Oh, and something I forgot to ask:

Spoiler:

Why did you remove marksman from the loyal hunter?
I guess it was for balance?
At first I wondered why he kept missing!
Then I realised: no marksman ability.

Cheers!

I will try to make objectives clearer. in fact, I always receive this kind of feedback because I always play as a developer rather than from the player perspective which means that some scenarios passed as hard instead of normal or normal instead of easy.
Right now, I am struggling with the story itself. I need more working on the story and the timeline, names, side histories, ...

Spoiler:

yup. at the beginning, it was a short campaign so having some powerful units are easy to balance but now, it is a long campaign so having many loyals with increased high level units will make it very easy in early stages
By the way, I forget to mention that there is also some extra advancements for the javelinner, the Lancer and the Grand Knight. I should add a note about that (todo). they are in testing for balancing. the Knight line might be divided into two advancements' lines if the testing approves that it is better than an extra level.
also, I am testing the idea of replacing some enemies (elves, bandits, ...) completely with Kedari, Zaxali and Werewolves but now this is only in my files and not in the 0.0.7

Hmm, would these be additional scenarios in your existing campaign or new, separate campaigns?
I assume the latter because otherwise (unless you've a very clever storyline) the units from the first part would be long dead in the later chapters.
I think the "Clanhoof world" has enough legs (pun intended) to justify additional campaigns.
Under normal circumstances mounted units don't do well underground...

I haven't actually got going with scenario 3 yet, been far too busy with rl and my own stuff so am nowhere near finishing your campaign sadly.
This happens to me a lot, just ain't enough hours in the day...

Cheers!

I am happy that you liked the first two scenarios already.
Now, the 2 next chapters are not related to the first 2 by characters but only the storyline

Spoiler:

the cave part happenedmonths after the accidental death of a dwarf lord killed by the protagonist of the 2 first chapters and his death caused a butterfly effect in the underground area. no human is involved. just dwarves and dark elves. the 4 chapter happen also in the surface 100 y after the first 2. it is like HttT but with different perspective and many possible ending since the historians (the player choices) have different opinions.

the 2 chapters are ready almost. I am thinking about merge them with the first 2 instead of making separate campaigns.
the idea is the creation of a timeline for the region that cover 1000 year of major events in both the surface and the underground, the main area and its frontiers...

Ah, so the timeline, approximately, is:

• Clanhoof (current campaign)
• <year later: underground campaign, entirely new units
• ~century later: surface campaign.

Sorry to be dim but I'm a bit consufed about the number of chapters - but my thoughts are the same either way.
In my experience most players typically become invested in (some of) their units and I'm not sure they'd want their old leaders and units retired and replaced halfway through a campaign.

Personally I think it would be clearer to players if you made the underground chapter a separate (but related) sequel campaign that references previous events (but no units from those times takes part). That said there are all sorts of ways to package these chapters together either as a single campaign or as a group of related campaigns as you've already done.

If you wanted to, you could use persistent variables to detect if players starting campaign #2 have played campaign #1 first, I suspect you may already be familiar with this sort of logic?

But this is just my opinion, part of the point of designing campaigns is to do stuff that hasn't been done before or do things differently so if you have a clear vision of how you want your chapters/campaigns to fit together; go for it - it's your work!

There is also a bobbing animation for feldrix.

Hi. Thank you. They look much better now. Do you have a plan for other Zaxalis?

[hermestrismi]

edit:
version 0.0.8
major changes:
improvement for the gui,
adding a droppable items system (potions, weapons and artefacts),
adding new characters,
a simple presentation scenario to make navigating campaigns much easier.
note: old saves probably won't work with this update

[hermestrismi]

items system:
potions: dropped in death, medium frequency, stored (give to any unit any time), (-) disappear from ground if the player reload the turn.
weapons: dropped in death, rare, give only to the unit who found, can't be stored, doesn't disappear when reload, every weapon have limits to who can take it.
artefacts: hard to found (special conditions), very rare but powerful, can be used only once, can be used in all campaigns.

Right now, I only want to rework those 3. Bobbing, attack and maybe a moving animation. Depends how much time I have.

I also found different reefthrower sprites. I really like them. I want to flesh them out too.

[Refumee]

And here some more.

You can also find them in my Saurian Pack in the unused folder.
If they are finished, I really want ot give them their own faction.

Hello.

I’m playing with pleasure this campaign but I’m blocked at the scenario “blood bonds” because the engine can’t reach the gohere sign.
I don’t know how to reach it.
Even if I try to build a road, it’s impossible to get there.
What do I have to do?
Thanks a lot and regards.

[hermestrismi]

sorry everyone for being that late. I didn't read the new comments until now.
for that scenario, you have a right click menu for units to make a flat hex/terrain. you need to use a unit to modify the terrain before the engine can pass.
