Re: Legends of Idaamub
It takes about 6-7 turns for me to get the first opening, and then I can either sacrifice one of my level 1 or 2 units or my nearly dead level 0. By this point, there are now orcs arriving, which means that when/if I should make an opening, anyone who tries to advance will just be killed and replaced by an advancing enemy.lhybrideur wrote: ↑July 24th, 2019, 12:44 pmIf think the problem here is mostly that you don't go out of your keep when you can. If you stay in the keep when you can exit, you won't be able to recruit more and will be blocked in the keep. I don't say sacrifice your lvl1, but you could for example go out with lvl0 units to try to kill the bat leader and a few other units.white_haired_uncle wrote: ↑July 23rd, 2019, 11:52 pm TURN 31: Still backed up in the encampment. Maybe I could at least get a village in here? Looks like worn leather doesn't do anything either.
I uploaded my replay of the scenario. I chose a mage instead of a lieutenant but it doesn't change much. I'm also playing in Normal instead of Easy but I can't say if this change much. I will try to produce a replay in Easy when I have the time to replay the campaign.
I just tried it a few times, and it looks like if you recruit a level 0 or recall a level 1at 21.10, the enemy will immediately advance and you'll be stuck. If you recall a level 2 (in my case a trapper), they stay back and you have a chance. Maybe the enemy should not start so close they can attack on turn 2? Give me a chance to move my first units at least once?
BTW, the replay you posted was from scenario 3.
P.S. Later in the game, I wondered if I shouldn't have chosen a mage (to advance to celestial messenger). I really wanted a good leader, especially with level 0 recruits, but if this is going to be my only chance to get a healer, and with almost no usable villages, I may have made the wrong choice.

Concerning healers, you will be able to recruit lvl 0 magi from scenario 5 and there will be healing hexes and villages too. It is however to be noted that the lack of villages is a choice I made, which is related to the recruitment of lvl0 units that can be sacrificed.

Re: Legends of Idaamub
Twisted staff says it decreases damage by 6%. Why would I use that item?
S2
you can't take everything -> can
Athan's leather
bear-handed -> bare-handed
Apparently negative income doesn't do anything in this campaign?
I don't quite see how I am supposed to win S3 without a village and no healer.

You are not supposed to use it, only sell it. The same stand for objects that do nothing. Do you think I should put it to doing nothing too ? Maybe it would fit better with the other ones.
Corrected. Thank you very muchS2

Yes, it is stated in the walk-through. Should I write it in plain text in the intro ? Or at the beginning of the first scenario ?Apparently negative income doesn't do anything in this campaign?
I haven't watched your replay yet. I will watch it asap and reply to you then.
The campaign is back online. I had to change the icon to an icon from core

I'd suggest the first two scenarios. (Chances are that you won't read the walkthrough unless you get stuck.)Yes, it is stated in the walk-through. Should I write it in plain text in the intro? Or at the beginning of the first scenario?Apparently negative income doesn't do anything in this campaign?
What really bugs me about this though, positive income works.

Re: Legends of Idaamub
Right now S3 is called 'The_Bridge_to_Zei'.
S3
When spotting a skeleton, there is a dialog, and the 'space between word and punctuation' is a thing again.
Same for the signal posts.
secret tunnel ->tunnel.
S4 (I made it past S3 with some liberal use of health potions at the beginning. I forgot that I had those.)
portion of the wall -> wall.
is closed back -> back.
richness -> wealth
Please put more than one rune in the whole place. I made it just short of the last room, all of my units with less than 10 hp, 82/90 turns. But of course there is no chance that I can make it past those last 4 units. :/ Especially since one of them is lvl2.

Re: Legends of Idaamub
I have watched your replay.
For what it's worth from someone who can finish some campaigns even in easy, I see two main problems in your replay of scenario 3:
If it is, where should I place the village? If I put it in 54,2 or 56,3, won't it benefit the enemy more than the player?
For what it's worth from someone who can finish some campaigns even in easy, I see two main problems in your replay of scenario 3:
- Utter bad luck: your pikeman almost never hits when it would be needed, especially during the first turns.
- Not enough units: this comes from the way you played scenario 2. You recruited too much there, so you don't have enough gold to recruit much at the beginning of scenario 3. If you can watch white_haired_uncle's and my replays of scenario 3 (which were not played in hard though), you will see that we recruited much more, which allowed us to have units resting in the back.
If it is, where should I place the village? If I put it in 54,2 or 56,3, won't it benefit the enemy more than the player?
Re: Legends of Idaamub
As stated in my post above, I finished S3 already, by usage of health potions. Right now I'm stuck at S4, but I guess if I didn't have to use the potions in S3, I could use them to beat S4.lhybrideur wrote: ↑July 29th, 2019, 10:18 am Anyway, as I said, I'm probably not the best to give advices on how to play in hard. If you have the time, could you please try to replay with what I wrote in mind and tell me if the scenario is still unplayable.
If it is, where should I place the village? If I put it in 54,2 or 56,3, won't it benefit the enemy more than the player?
I'd suggest adding a line of terrain on top, so you can put the village behind your camp.

Re: Legends of Idaamub
My bad I hadn't seen your post from Sunday.
I did a search/replace of every " !" and " ?" so it should be fixed in the next version.
I will watch your replays of scenarii 3 and 4 asap.
Anyway thanks to both of you for the feedback.

Re: Legends of Idaamub
Watched them. It was really nice to watch.
Concerning scenario 3, I maintain than with not enough gold, it is nearly impossible to play it. However, I don't consider using 2 health potions to be a lot.
Concerning scenario 4, I now realize than I really don't give enough gold and turns at the beginning of this scenario. This has been changed. With more gold, and therefore more units, you shouldn't be blocked the way you were.
I will upload the new version later today.

Re: Legends of Idaamub
I disagree, since I only get 3 potions. (4, if you count the one in the next scenario.)lhybrideur wrote: ↑July 30th, 2019, 8:58 am However, I don't consider using 2 health potions to be a lot.
Actually, is it intended that only my leader can use health potions?

Re: Legends of Idaamub
You should be dropping around 2 potions per scenario (it's random), so using 2 per scenario is not abnormal.
It is intended that only heroes can use potions. You get one new hero at the end of scenario 4, one to three more in scenario 6, and more later.
