The storyline was once again pretty forward, but I wasn't sure about the choice concerning elves and bandits. Well, I chose the elves and it proved to be a good decision.<br> <br> (5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?<br> <br> As mentioned above, the Lich. Nothing more, nothing less.<br> <br> (6) How fun do you think the scenario is?

(1-10)<br> 5. The time limit is a bit tricky, but otherwise not really difficult. For beginners fighting in an unknown area and fighting at a terrain disatvantage (when using mainly humans) could be a problem<br> <br> (3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?<br> Clear enough for the scenario. Of course, the objectives are not really clear at the beginning, but that is the intention of not knowing what to do<br> <br> (4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?<br> very clear and interesting. It is fun to see one of the oh so goodie elves fall into darkness and the talk with Mathin clarifies a lot. <br> <br> (5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?<br> Being faster than the time limit. In the end i only had 5 turns left, what is quite different to the usual "beat the scenario in about half the possible time"<br> <br> (6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)<br> 8. It is really fun and the red herring with the undead in the SW is interesting<br> <br> (7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?<br> can't think of any</div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p516477" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile516477"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=128984&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2" class="username">BritNavFan</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=128984&sr=posts&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2">10</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> December 17th, 2011, 8:47 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content516477"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=516477&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2#p516477">Re: South Guard 5.

There are no ambushes, no monsters living in the forest, no guards in the guard towers by each bridge, and the opposition is almost entirely L1's. <ul><li> So the first thing I'd do is change the last sentence of the story from "Finally Ethiliel told the men to halt and pitch camp — they had reached the Black River, beyond which no elf or man would willingly pass." to "Finally, as another dreary day faded into the gathering dark, Ethiliel and her rangers led them to an Elvish holding - the last such holding, she explained, before the Black River, beyond which no elf or man would willingly pass." Then change the art (villages, some trees, maybe the encampment) in the northwest corner of the map to Elvish ones. That explains the presence of some of the villages.</li> <li> The second thing I'd do is change the day-night schedule from {DEFAULT_SCHEDULE} to {DUSK} {FIRST_WATCH} {SECOND_WATCH} {DAWN} {DUSK} {DUSK} - replacing each of MORNING and AFTERNOON with an extra DUSK - to emphasize the dimness of the forest and reinforce the player's sense of "We're not in Kansas any more, Toto."</li> <li> The third thing is to tear down the the bridge over the Black River. Make it shallow water so it's a ford.</li> <li> The next scenario (6a "Tidings Good and Ill") has all of the dangers that I expected to find in A Choice in the Fog. I'd use them here, as well. (I'd actually create a new side for some of them. There's a nice swampy spot for creatures that like swimming to have a keep and some villages down by the big bad's castle. They'd be on the "Undead" "team" for game play purposes.) I might also borrow some of the code for creating ambushes from scenario 7 of "Heir to the Throne", "Crossroads", to create a brigand ambush on the path at HARD difficulty. And I'd add a few miscellaneous monsters - maybe wolves in the forest, maybe griffons in the mountains, maybe some of the monsters from scenario (6a), etc...</li> <li> Side 3 (the walking corpses) is odd in a number of ways. First, a level 1 boss in a scenario where the player has L3 units is rather anticlimactic. I'd improve the boss to a level 2 undead/necromancer type at NORMAL difficulty. Secondly, although at HARD difficulty the side is given the ability to recruit ghouls, the AI doesn't. So I might try using the AI commands "recruitment_ignore_bad_movement=yes" and "recruitment_ignore_bad_combat=yes" in case the AI thinks ghouls' damage type is bad on this map, or something. But I'd still use LIMIT_CONTEMPORANEOUS_RECRUITS for ghouls so that their army remains mostly Soulless.</li> <li> Side 4 (the BigBad) is pretty weak for an Evil Empire. At harder difficulty levels I'd give them some villages in their castle, and also create some guards there with the {GUARDIAN} and {NO_UPKEEP} modifier macros. That would encourage them to maintain more than a couple of units at any given time, and would make the final fight a little more interesting.</li> <li> To compensate for all this, at HARD difficulty I'd give the player more time (i.e. the same amount of time as at NORMAL difficulty).</li> <li> The AI doesn't seem to recruit lower level units of a given role (e.g. fighter, scout, archer, mixed fighter, healer) when it can recruit higher level units of that role. Both undead factions are given the ability to recruit higher level units at the harder difficulty. So if the scenario designer wants the AI's for these sides to recruit all of the units in their recruitment lists, which is implied in that the designers didn't remove the lower level units from the harder difficulty recruitment lists, the designer needs to modify the AI's recruitment decisions somehow. The standard way to do this is to use the AI macros LIMIT_RECRUITS and LIMIT_CONTEMPORANEOUS_RECRUITS for the higher level units. This is also an issue with Scenario 4, Vale of Tears, at HARD difficulty - the AI <em class="text-italics">can</em> recruit level 2 fighters and archers so it <em class="text-italics">only</em> recruits level 2 fighters and archers .</li></ul>(8) Lost game due to: didn't lose game.<br> (9) Took me a little while to figure out that the story was in utils/sg_story.cfg</div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p529899" class="post has-profile bg2"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile529899"> <dt class="no-profile-rank has-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=130551&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2" class="avatar"><img class="avatar" src="./download/file.php?avatar=130551_1335590262.gif" width="100" height="100" alt="User avatar" /></a> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=130551&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2" class="username">Ninjuri</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=130551&sr=posts&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2">167</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> April 28th, 2012, 2:59 am</dd> <dd class="profile-custom-field profile-phpbb_location"><strong>Location:</strong> California</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content529899"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=529899&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2#p529899">Re: South Guard 5.

(1-10)</strong><br> 7: I could have made this easier on myself. As it was I didn't recruit enough level 1 units, and so to successfully retain my beloved high-XP forces, I had to play very conservatively (terrain, day/night cycle).

My favorite part was the thin thread of open ground running through the forest to the green enemy. I had to thread that line as I worked the day-night cycle and alternating attacks from green and purple, and the tension was palpable the whole way through. This was also the most expansive scenario yet. I do wish I'd taken advantage of it by recruiting more elvses!<br> Finally, I really enjoyed the bandit decision and the strategy involved in a 1v1v2.<br> <strong class="text-strong">(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?</strong><br> Eh, maybe some sort of scripted event when you first step foot over the south river. I crossed with great trepidation because I was expecting some sort of calamity, so it was a bit of a letdown... until the deathblades and bone shooters arrived.

I sided with Elves because it's a large map with Footpads running round all over the place capturing villages, I'm of the opinion that away from swamps and caves Elves are just as good at dealing with the Undead as bandits, if not slightly better and as the terrain around villages is forest Footpads lose their defensive advantages. Furthermore if you use Elvish Shamen together with Fighters, you can gain a slight mobility advantage. <br> <br> Oh and Elvish Bodyguards (actually Rangers) have stealth which comes into its own in this scenario. <br> <strong class="text-strong"><br> (6) How fun do you think the scenario is?

(1-10)</strong><br> 5 my first playthrough where I sided with the elves, 3 my second playthrough siding with the bandits.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?</strong> <br> Clear.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?</strong><br> The choice of sides is interesting, but it feels very unbalanced. I can't really see any good reason storywise why allying with the bandits over the elves makes sense. The characters do point out that the undead are a far greater threat then the bandits, but there is absolutely no reason to think that they would make better allies then the elves. In fact the plot basically goes out of it's way to point out that choosing the bandits is the wrong choice, as at the end of the scenario you need the elves to actually reach the source of the undead. And that's a shame as I found the bandit route much more enjoyable gameplay wise, but I suspect few people will see it unless they are deliberately choosing to play both routes. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?</strong> <br> The size of the map, combined with the layout and composition of the enemy being unknown. When I played through the map the first time picking the elves I recalled a good number of human units since I was reluctant to rely mainly on level 1 elves not knowing how strong the enemy would be. That meant that none of the enemies were particularly dangerous, although there were a few tricky skirmishes where my scouts met scattered groups of bandits, but my fairly human heavy army moved very slowly through the forests and I barely finished before the time limit. <br> <br> The second time through things were much easier. I knew the layout of the map, and allying with the bandits gave me units scattered around the map to easily claim a lot of villages, and I gained a centralized keep to flood the enemy with footpads and thugs from (which incidentally finally give me a easily available source of impact damage to fight the undead with. Was quite happy to get them, and they made things much easier).<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)</strong><br> 7. It's an interesting map with a lot going on, and while a tad bit easy, did lead to some interesting skirmishes due to needing to split my troops a fair bit to explore in a reasonable time span.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?</strong><br> Ideally the plot would be changed a bit to make the choice between the elves and bandits more balanced. I'm not sure exactly how I would do so, but off the top of my head, maybe when Etheliel denies that Mebrin would never lead the undead, Urza could seize the opportunity to suggest that the elves are actually more interested in protecting one of their own then destroying the undead. Just add something to make people actually consider the bandits may be the right option.</div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p573967" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile573967"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=137648&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2" class="username">kiss</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=137648&sr=posts&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2">124</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> July 9th, 2014, 5:50 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content573967"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=573967&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2#p573967">Re: South Guard 5.

(1-10)</strong> <br> 8. The shroud makes the game more exciting and suspenseful, not knowing what will be coming out of the darkness at you.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?</strong> Very clear.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?</strong> <br> The storyline is interesting. The dialog is interesting, gives us background and helps us understand the characters without being overly long-winded.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?</strong><br> I wasn't sure which mystery creatures I would encounter in the dark, so I was unsure sure who and how many to recruit. I started with 15 units which turned out to be a good amount. My two avengers went east to scout and two mermen swam down stream. The rest of the group went south with a Cavalier to scout. The mermen defeated the bandit leader when he foolishly jumped into the river.<br> <br> The time limit, I barely made it! It was my own fault. I had my troops spread out, because I mistakenly thought the SW castle would be the end but I had to search elsewhere for the source of evil.<br> At the very end I had to run like heck to get Minister MoL, the Commander Garrick and a Royal Guard to the SE castle. (And they aren't the fastest runners). They were already halfway across the river when I discovered the castle. It was the only area left to explore. Thankfully, there were only 3 bad guys left to fight. <br> <br> I chose to side with the elves because I was afraid of losing my Shyde and Avengers. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10) </strong> <br> 10,<br> I like the different terrains: acres of Autumn-colored forests, a meandering river, mountains on the borders, a lake complete with its own sea monster, and many paths going every direction. If not for the corpses roaming around, I would like to live in such a place!<br> <br> Exploring, choosing sides, fighting the bad guys - I love scenarios like this one!<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun? </strong> Very good as is.<br> <strong class="text-strong">(8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?</strong> no</div> <div id="sig592722" class="signature"><em class="text-italics">Sometimes life unexpectedly throws a Troll or a nasty Queen Naga in your path.</em></div> </div> </div> <div class="back2top"> <a href="#top" class="top" title="Top"> <i class="icon fa-chevron-circle-up fa-fw icon-gray" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="sr-only">Top</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div id="p614697" class="post has-profile bg2"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile614697"> <dt class="no-profile-rank has-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=143812&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2" class="avatar"><img class="avatar" src="./download/file.php?avatar=143812_1499034853.jpg" width="64" height="64" alt="User avatar" /></a> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=143812&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2" class="username">Britannicus</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=143812&sr=posts&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2">57</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> June 25th, 2017, 8:04 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content614697"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=614697&sid=6569464047fe8b6bf4896d0e4a1e08a2#p614697">Re: South Guard 5.

Whenever I sent (almost) all my troops straight South, the Revenants and Bone Shooters from the South-East would come flank me. This stopped when I sent a few elves along the northern shore of the river and some troops straight towards the bandits' keep.<br> <br> (6) How fun do you think the scenario is?
