Northern Rebirth with overworld

Post by juhhyv »

This was originally meant to be just overworld view, but I end up making scenarios to it. All scenarios are present, but Save Whitevings is not completed.
Most of characters from original Northern Rebirth are removed. As companions player can now have:
- Zlex, a peasant from Dwaren Doors doors
- Camerin, a mad mage
- Bumcatlas, a dwarvish berseker
-Lady of Wesmere, an elvish shyde

Not much dialogue as it would have been plagued by typos. All characters should be possible to rename as I didn't keep them in very good line with original NR. First scenario is mostly same as original NR.

This campaign is inspired by conversation in WMG and Heir 2 the throne. 10 scenarios, very unbalanced.

Do the heroes have unique abilities?

Tallin has skirmisher and gains leadership when advancing. Rod of justice gives powerful magical attack and Camerin has berserk. But if you mean unique abilities in whole game, then no.

I lost my add-ons password, so I published it again. Older version can be removed from add-on server. I wrote right version's on-server description, that it is right version.

S1
Capturig -> Capturing
untill -> until
renforcements -> reinforcements
Glamdarol -> Glamdrol

Help dwarves
decaides -> decades
The bats rush to the keep in the central chamber (23,17) and lose their leader there very soon.
The undead leader with the huge income moves to 23,11 a keep with only one castle and is of course soon overwhelmed. Make them both stay on their keeps.

In the mines
On turn 15 you apparently try to spawn a unit that doesn't exist.

Overworld
suplies -> supplies
to tunnels -> into the tunnels
find dwarves of Knalga -> find the dwarves of Knalga.
Hert -> Heart
I can repeat the 'help dwarves' scenario.
There seems to be an invalid side definition that turns over all the elves and the monsters to my side.

It possible to earn gold in the overworld by capturing villages and ending your turn.

Thanks for Feedback, Kondar2!

I fixed all grammar errors that you mentioned in new release.

I didn't think possibility of earning gold in openworld.There is limit how much it can be done, but I still need to disable ending turn especially in second part of campaign.

In the mines
What exactly is supposed to happen when you last 20 turns and finish the scenario? I don't seem to gain anything.

Defeat the lich
The undead somehow triggered the jinn.

Turn 10 overworld
The Wolf Rider my Orcish allies sent blocks my way and I'm unable to join the attack. XD

Glamdrol
My Elvish ally lacks a keep.


As you can see, the armor combined with the Rod of Justice is a bit too strong.




Overall:
The maps and the dialogues need a lot of refinement, but the idea to have NR with an overworld map is pretty interesting.
