The Garardine Ascendancy (SP campaign for BfW 1.14)
Hi everyone!
This is the reference topic for the single player campaign: The Garardine Ascendancy
It's a long and complicated campaign with 23 playable scenarios and 5 dialogue scenarios, for a total of 28 scenarios, and it's complete.
It was made in windows but should also work in unix; need the 1.14 version of BfW; it was written in the infamous Argesilao's english , but I think it's quite understandable … more or less. There's the italian translation too.
There are a lot of particular things, too many to list them all, so I will not list them, and I will leave to the players the pleasure of discovering them (I am more and more lazy ).
The campaign traces the events that brought Garard I to the throne of Wesnoth, putting an end to the first dark age and beginning the Garardine dinasty.
Every feedback is appreciated!

Hi Argesilao.
Perhaps I was the first who downloaded "The Garardine Ascendancy". I was online when you created this topic and I decided to give it a try. My first impressions - it is very enjoyable and promising. I am playing on medium difficulty, just finished 4 scenarios. Not sure if I will be able to finish the whole campaign, so I decided to leave some comments early.

"Dulatus Hills" was not very hard. I lured out the closest leader. Horsemen helped a lot in this scenario. Replay is attached.
"Gryphon Mountain" on medium difficulty is very hard for me. Perhaps I will replay the campaign from the beginning on the easiest difficulty.

For what reason do you kill Gan-Targus here ? Is that a mistake, or intended ?
id=0301 Wild East
The {IS_HERO} does make a problem here. It produces a 'image not found' on the Ogre. I think you should prevent to add a hero.icon to a side-leader-unit, because the game wants to add a leader.icon here
unit type: Herzug
There is something wrong with the defend animation, and with the attack animation for Shadow Blast too.
It should work if you change the sprites names like:
shadow-lord-defend-miss1 > shadow-lord-defend-miss-1
shadow-lord-defend-miss2 > shadow-lord-defend-miss-2
shadow-lord-defend-hit1 > shadow-lord-defend-hit-1

Re: The Garardine Ascendancy (SP campaign for BfW 1.14)
That's no good! What do you think could be the way to balance the scenario? More Money for Betlinda? More starting gryphons? Both? Other things? Let me know your opinion.

Re: The Garardine Ascendancy (SP campaign for BfW 1.14)
I just played Tath, on easy. I seem to be on the "c" path.
I won on turn 8, but just barely, I'm pretty sure Betlinda was going to die on the next turn.

Re: The Garardine Ascendancy (SP campaign for BfW 1.14)
I am not sure you need to change the difficulty only because of my feedback. Expert level campaigns are expected to be a challenge. If you will anyway make "Gryphon Mountain" easier, I would suggest slightly more gold to Betlinda and gryphons. And make gryphon's AI more defensive, otherwise they may kill an enemy leader if they are lucky. I think it would be better if they just focus on keepeng their leader alive.
I restarted the campaign on the easiest difficulty. "Gryphon Mountain" and "The Ford of Abez" replays are attached. There is a knight on my side. He was a caravan conductor when he was a boy, his family may be proud of him
Regarding "The Ford of Abez".

In the objectives for The Battle for Westin, death of Garard should be listed as a defeat condition.

I have finished chapter 3, replays are attached. "Dark Magic" scenario seems very easy. There is incorrect Xalzar last breath event in "Bitter Swamp", as I see it is fixed in the latest version. I don't know why Numanyr didn't run in the "Northern Outpost", perhaps he decided to stay at the village. Overall, I like that you extended the campaign with missions for different heroes. And variety of unit types for recruiting is also cool.
I reviewed some WML of the campaign and observed several problems.
