Oath of Allegiance [SP Desert People Campaign for 1.18.3]

[Refumee]

Hello guys,

I am porting this campaign right now to 1.18.2 as part of the Dunefolk campaign event from WMG.

I try to bugfix everything I find here.
Additional it will be a standalone addon (sorry Kwandulin). That means I disconnected it from the heroes addon.

I'm almost ready to release it.
Right now I'm playtesting it.

Best regards
Your friendly saurian from the neighbourhood

Thanks, looking forward to playing it!

One thing about the wose event in Th'arwya: why can Balariel not awaken the Wose as well as Ilriel?

My guess would be, that Bloodmaidens are not connected to nature.

If you're still interested, change {HRS_TALK 8 35 () ( to {HRS_TALK 8 35 ( in macros/tharwya-scenery.cfg. You'll have to restart the scenario from the beginning for this to take effect - use the initial save, not the turn 1 autosave.

A simpler way is just to enter debug mode and change the unit's side. That'll skip the rest of the event, but it's not super important.

This one will be fixed

Found one more bug: in A Whisper in the Sands, Lixandryl has no effect on Dawoud if you've changed his damage type to arcane. One potential fix is in add-ons/Heroes/macros/scenario-items.cfg. In the HRS_ITEM_LIXANDRYL macro, copy-paste the first [effect] block and change the type to arcane. That's untested, but I'm pretty sure it'll work (though with potential undesired side-effects for any other campaign using that macro). Heck, you might even be able to just say type=blade,arcane in the existing [effect], but type isn't documented for apply_to=attack, so I'm less sure about that.

Another potentially undesired effect of this is that it can also boost your falcon's claws. That fix isn't quite so simple.

Hhmm, that would also allow Iliriel to take the sword. My guess would be that this is not desired.

I am considering to get rid of the arcane ability for Dawoud. With the Arcane nerf in 1.18, arcane can kinda feel weak.
I decide after I finished testing the campaign.

Edit: Now Dawoud will have a dual-attack blade and arcane. He will also not be allowed to take that said sword.

It says that Ilriel and Dawoud fight better when next to each other, but that’s not the case. (I remember it being true some long time ago, maybe it’s just a leftover from then?)

Done

Soonish the Addon will be playable again in 1.18.

• I removed a lot of bugs, fixed sprites and added/removed, old/new Dunefolk units (to 1.18 standards).

• UMC units didn't get any changes, except small adjustments to damage or hp.

• Hero do have traits now. Nothing major, the most got healthy.

• Shadows of Isbana
  - no turn limit
  - goal is more visible now

• The Great Wall got an additional hint about recruitment

• Athvari can teleport again

• tharwyanyercrona doesn't petrify anymore, now just slowing

• Items are more visible on the map

• Bloodmaiden getting elvish sounds(was human before)

• Aula is now Race elf (it fits better her description and look than human)

• Sandluker got an advancement and can hide in sand tiles (counts for Azyan too, he is an Sandlurker in my eyes)

• Unique flags

• Team name will be Oath of Allegiance an not Ilriel

• Dual-Type items and Ilaroth uprade

• Standalone Addon with no dependcies

Now I'm working on the Achievements, after that there will be an full release.

Dawoud
His unit description is a big spoiler that's visible, even in S2.

Spoiler:

Stating his true name, race, and motivation.

S2
Cutscene
It would be cool if the attacking trapper gained 3xp for attacking Dawoud, with Dawoud gaining 2xp for being attacked.

will have to fight them back -> will have to fight them off

New Recruits dialog:
is weak but versatile -> is a weak but versatile
capable to ignore -> capable of ignoring the

S3
It doesn't make sense that Dawoud explains that he and the Dunefolk know 'Trolls' as 'Stoneborn', just for him to warn his men a moment later to not attack the 'Trolls' at night.
We should not attack the trolls at night -> We should not attack the stoneborn at night

The scenario objectives need clarification that it's okay to attack the elves with Ilriel. (Or the code needs adjustment so this triggers a defeat.)
Narfis death doesn't remove his death from the scenario objectives.

S5
below the foot -> below the feet

S6
Ibn Khazul (Bulwark of the East) has very underwhelming stats for a lvl 3 unit.

S7
It would be better if side 4 (The Athvari) was hidden until they actually join.

Achievements
loosing any unit -> losing any unit

Thank you for your feedback.

I'll fix it as soon as possible.

S3 is interesting.
As far as I know, if the elves attack Ilriel you auto loose.
Don't know if you triggered that event.

Several Hero's feel underwhelming to be honest.
One of them I already buffed, cause he was weaker than the unit he represented.

Yes, I triggered it a couple times. It triggers when the elves attack Ilriel during their turn. But during my turn I can attack them as much as I want. I believe that's intentional, but I think it would be better to clarify it in the scenario objectives.

Isn't that not clear enough?
"An enemy elvish unit attacks Ilriel" - as loose condition?
It is stated that an elf needs to attack here. Or does a counter attack count as attack too for that matter?

Edit:
I added a note:
[note]
description=_ "Ilriel is allowed to attack the elves, but not the other way around."
