Go on then. This is the one I've used for playtesting.

Doh. Would help if I attached the map file. Edited the post with the scenario, also attaching here.

For anyone playing through this, I'm going to list any known issues I'm coming across that break the scenario and how to fix them.
Anyone who is playing the game and wants to edit the save file to avert returning to the beginning - good luck.
1) Lines 3192 and 3321. That should read "id=Deuterus". Deuterus is supposed to be provoking the Dark Riders etc. to go for him, but instead they're going for poor old General Karak who wouldn't stand chance.
Update: Okay, after objective 2 it starts getting flaky, and after objective 4 it's too bug-ridden to be playable. Time for another round of updates and re-balancing, and I'll get something revised back to you.

Okay, let's try again. This is supposed to fix the bugs I observed as well as rebalance some bits that didn't feel right.
Again, not tested yet. It will take some time to play through to the later parts of this mega-scenario. Should this work, it will be uploaded proper, along with the next narrative scenario ...

Re: The Unstoppable Legion - the end is nigh - NOW WITH THE BIG BIG PLOT TWIST
I found my save in my documents folder. No clue how it got there so continued from Revenge of the Fallen
As for The battle of Suveran, I dont think it can be won. Look at my save. I tried my best. dwarves have 4-5 MP and dark slayers have 3x as much. So couldn't even shield that weak council member and lost. The demon wave took out a number of my defenders before defecting Zharagorn but yeah...didn't really leave me much to defend the final wave with.

Okay, let's start with the crucial question: did you play with the first attachment or the second? Also, which level? (I'm testing on medium - usually those who play on hard are fine with the extra difficulty but maybe this is too much.)
The key to surviving the dark riders/slayers is supposed to be that when Deuterus provokes Zharagorn, the goto tags on all of these units is reset to go to him. However, you need to leave a clear path to Deuterus, otherwise, they'll fight through whatever's in the way. Even so, I did take down the number of dark riders etc in the second version as it was getting too much.
First I've heard of an outright bug when killing the orc leader though. What happened there?

I used the second one, and I played on Medium. Should be stated on the save file.Okay, let's start with the crucial question: did you play with the first attachment or the second? Also, which level? (I'm testing on medium - usually those who play on hard are fine with the extra difficulty but maybe this is too much.)
When they got provoked, they were already inside the interior of Suveran, that is near the King and his fragile council members. For three of the Dark Slayers, they had to go through the Mage council member to get to Deuterus, so that happened. I guess I made a mistake of recalling 3 Naga Warriors at the start...thinking they would be useful but it was a mistake.However, you need to leave a clear path to Deuterus, otherwise, they'll fight through whatever's in the way. Even so, I did take down the number of dark riders etc in the second version as it was getting too much.
I suppose it's because of:First I've heard of an outright bug when killing the orc leader though. What happened there?

Re: The Unstoppable Legion - the end is nigh - NOW WITH THE BIG BIG PLOT TWIST
Hmm ... when the Dark Slayers are provoked, the head northwards and just attack whoever's next to them at the end of their turn. I guess if you are unlucky you could end up with several ending on the wrong spot at the wrong moment.
I'll put this on my To Do list for balancing.
The code is a stranger thing though. I can't find that in my WML. Which line did you see that on?

He is probably refering to this:

Re: The Unstoppable Legion - the end is nigh - NOW WITH THE BIG BIG PLOT TWIST
Hmm, funny, that worked for me, even if it wasn't technically correct.
Anyway, I've applied that fix.

I'll give it a try once you upload the latest fixes.
