Re: Knalgans of Steel - 1.14 Singleplayer Knalgans campaign
Hey,
Just started the campaign and thought I would post some early thoughts. I'm playing on Normal and Wesnoth 1.14.8
S3: Crossroads

S3: Crossroads
Spoiler:
Objective states 80% carryover but only 40% is carried over
S4: Cousins
Dialogue
Konry: every few days months --> is it days or months?
Post S4 narration: ...hold thousands of coins worth of gold --> ...hold thousands of gold coins or ...hold gold coins worth thousands
Konry: every few days months --> is it days or months?

Post S4 narration: ...hold thousands of coins worth of gold --> ...hold thousands of gold coins or ...hold gold coins worth thousands
I'm not sure if this is a standard Wesnoth unit or custom, but why does a poacher have a 2 movement cost in the forest?
Same problem with gold carryover, states 80% but only 40% is carried over
S5:
Konry: former future father in law --> former, future father-in-law
Same problem with gold carryover, states 80% but only 40% is carried over
S6: Dung
I think the carryover thing is going to be the same throughout the campaign
Turn limit

Thanks! I’ve made your suggested changes, but I’ll wait to push them onto the server until you finish the campaign in case you find more.
I haven’t edited the units, but I have found posts from 2008 or so asking the same question about poachers and forests.

Re: Knalgans of Steel - 1.14 Singleplayer Knalgans campaign
No problem, it's probably a Wesnoth thing i just don't think I ever noticed before

S7:
Possible bug; the victory objective states
Spoiler:
Also, the carryover gold thing is the same

EDIT:
S8: Thieves
The carryover works here, says 80% and the carryover is 80%
EDIT 2:
S9: Redhanded
The carryover is reversed here

EDIT 3:
Not sure if this is a campaign bug or a Wesnoth bug, but you can't see your statistics from Scenario 2: The Taxman
-Also, I'm not sure if it was mentioned and I just missed it, but why/when did they start calling themselves "Knalgans"? I know that's what the campaign is meant to be about, but I don't remember there being an explicit bit of dialogue where it was decided.
-Karmoc: for over --> forever
-I feel like the "discovery" of the gold mine was a little cringe-y/forced. Could there not be another cutscene/epilogue? Or could a "scout" be returning with news of a new mine? Or some other plot device?
-Suggestion: adding in a bonus dialogue/action if we manage to keep Konry alive?
-Could there be a line in the objectives stating that this is the last scenario? I know its kinda obvious (no turn limit, plot, lots of enemies, etc) but its always nice to see it stated somewhere

EDIT 4:
Overall, good campaign.
-Was well balanced for Normal, maybe slightly easier than expecting for an intermediate campaign (not that I'm complaining)
Spoiler:
-I feel like the story/plot towards the end could be more fleshed out. In terms of how they got their name, why their base was there, etc...)
-The final scenario is good gameplay wise, but story-wise I feel like it doesn't make sense for all the enemies to be on the same alliance (i.e. they can't attack each other). This should probably be explained in the dialogue somewhere

I've uploaded Version 1.1 with changes as suggested by WackoJacko:
Edit: Uploaded to 1.15 as well.
- Campaign setting changed to used pre-existing cities Elsenfar and Aldril, as well as other previously-mapped places. If the campaign needed to be completely consistent with mainline, the only things that would need to be addressed are the presence of Runesmiths (which could be replaced) and perhaps the presence of Dunefolk.
- Knalgan name explained
- Gold carryover corrected and stabilized at 40%
- More dialogue added for Konry, and ending expanded
- Typos corrected
- 'Final Scenario' objective added to final scenario
- Cave level shouldn't be finishable by killing leaders any more
- In-game explanation given for enemies not attacking each other in final battle
Edit: Uploaded to 1.15 as well.

Konry is loyal but has no loyal sign (1.14 add on server, the latest version)
Re: Knalgans of Steel - 1.14/1.15 Singleplayer Knalgans campaign (Ver 1.1)
Thanks! I'll fix that in the next update!

In the end the future fate of Konry shown even if Konry fell in battle before
Re: Knalgans of Steel - 1.14/1.15 Singleplayer Knalgans campaign (Ver 1.1)
Konry can't die...he just gets knocked out. It's rough having an ulfserker hero, since they die so easily. I haven't coded in any special ending if he never dies, and he's supposed to be reviving every scenario. Did he not show up in your final battle?

Well, he "got knocked out" in the last battle so I couldn't see this reviving in action.
Re: Knalgans of Steel - 1.14/1.15 Singleplayer Knalgans campaign (Ver 1.1)
Ah, thank you, I think I know a way to fix that. I appreciate it!
