(1-10)</strong><br> 9.5<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> Great. When slaves are freed from cages, I don't need a big conversation to explain why they will now fight on my side. Just have them volunteer to fight, and that's that.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?</strong><br> This is a very difficult scenario. It's hard to avoid putting the critical Priestess (Cylanna) on the front line at the start. She is usually greeted by two Saurian Oracles. The first Oracle says, "Pfft-pfft-pfft", and the second one says, "Pfft-...". Game over.<br> <br> The slave revolt helps, but the allied units can easily get in the way and cause defeat. So, it's a bit random.<br> <br> The terrain around the first enemy fortress is nasty for mermen and often causes my units to get surrounded and defeated.<br> <br> I lost the Drake right at the end, pointlessly.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)</strong><br> 9<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> Don't spawn any slaves near my lines. Move the four slaves in the southwest to the other side of the enemy keep.

I'm mostly just here to point out some missing frames in the saurians. After they attack and pull back, they seem to disappear for a moment. Nothing big.<br> But could we see more drakes in this? I know this isn't a drake campaign but when I saw Keshan I thought, "This is awesome and... <em class="text-italics">just</em> a drake burner? This would be pretty easy to work in; there's a good chance the slavers captured more than one drake. Maybe that cage can spawn multiple allies, like when the player frees the shyde in Legend of Wesmere (I forget the scenario number, but I remember an archer, a fighter, and a shyde popped out). Also, maybe after they defeat the drakes on their island, a couple decide to join in? I'd definitely like to be able to have an inferno drake (included), hurricane drake, drake battler, and drake blademaster by the end scenario.<br> <br> Other than my obsession with drakes: great campaign. This has been the most fun add-on campaign since Brave Wings. It definitely deserved to go mainline (although I still feel Brave Wings should too). Loved the art, the scenarios, the allies you got (love Inky. That thing rules), everything. More specifically, I liked how this was only 12 scenarios long. Recently I've felt myself get bored with campaigns that run for 20+ scenarios and preferring those that go for 17 and under. And great work giving the player a bat on scenario 2. Bats really needed some love and you've finally did it.

(1-10)<br> 9, the most difficult scenario in this campaign. There were not many chances before to get high level units and you have to fight against a lot of units of the most annoying race in Wesnoth, which demands full concentration during the whole scenario. Fortunately there is the option to initiate the slave revolt, which slows down and distracts the enemy a bit.<br> <br> (3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?<br> Clear<br> <br> (4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?<br> Good.<br> <br> (5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?<br> Magical attacks (which make my terrain defense futile), skirmisher ability combined with high mobility and a high enemy terrain defense or to make a long story short: Saurians.<br> <br> (6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)<br> 8, actually a real good challenge, especially the slave revolt is a good idea as an additional tactical option. The negative thing is "just", that you have to fight the most annoying race and the scenario becomes a bit exhausting after some time.<br> <br> (7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?<br> It is okay as it is. Almost too hard, but I guess, this is what you can expect from the hardest difficulty.<br> <br> (8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?<br> Some reloads, when I lost a bit of my concentration and made some simple mistakes.</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="p480283" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile480283"> <dt class="has-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=123590&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16" class="username">Ceres</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-rank">Forum Regular</dd> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./../search.php?author_id=123590&amp;sr=posts&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16">620</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> September 18th, 2010, 7:56 pm</dd> <dd class="profile-custom-field profile-phpbb_location"><strong>Location:</strong> Germany</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content480283"> <h3 > <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=480283&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16#p480283">Re: Scenario Review: DW 4 - Slavers</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=quote&amp;p=480283&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16" title="Reply with quote" class="button button-icon-only"> <i class="icon fa-quote-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Quote</span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="author"> <a class="unread" href="./../viewtopic.php?p=480283&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16#p480283" title="Post"> <i class="icon fa-file fa-fw icon-lightgray icon-md" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Post</span> </a> <span class="responsive-hide">by <strong><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=123590&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16" class="username">Ceres</a></strong> &raquo; </span><time datetime="2011-02-24T22:28:32+00:00">February 24th, 2011, 10:28 pm</time> </p> <div class="content">(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on?<br> Easy, 1.9.4<br> (2) How difficult did you find the scenario?

I'm going to try again after reading this thread and the wiki though.<br> My strategy was to wait until the enemy had all their forces drawn out, and fight with them a bit. This would put them into the negetives monitarily so they could not get any more reinforcements, and i would fight them at the south, so the middle and northern saurians would have their lines stretched out. After the negetive funds and the streching, i would call the slaves, then put my full army to charge and sandwitch all the saurians.<br> <br> This did not work, as the uprising was a lot less climactic than i expected, and didn't last long because the saurians bore down on me. I already have some ideas as to what i did wrong though. I should have saved the fighting for the day, made greater use of impact-type weapons, and not sent my healer up the coast to get villages, (not sure what i was thinking with that last one). Anyway second time's the charm so here i go again.<br> <br> Edit: <br> I tried it a second time and got a little farther, but still got rolled. I read the wiki and everything. Instead of rushing in, i held back along the river so the enemy would have to fight in water and have less defense, i also used their negative resistance to impact against them by spamming cits and initiates. I made sure to be defensive during the night and offensive during the day. I put all my high level units on the front lines, and used a cheap cit to go up the coast and capture villages/get the shipwreck gold. <br> <br> For some reason i was still getting swamped pretty good, so i called in the slaves. I thought i might be able to make it when i had a shot at freeing the drake and getting on the southern castle, but every time i freed him i died the next turn, so i had to retreat instead to my own castle and try to rebuild my force with the shipwreck gold, which didn't work. My forces got whittled away so i just left he base behind and swam away into deep waters, living happily ever after.<br> <br> Edit 2:<br> Third time was the charm. I held them off on the shoreline next to my base in the beginning, and then pushed inward as hard as i could. I was lucky that all 3 of the saurian leaders seemed suicidal and charged into my forces, I would not have been able to win otherwise. I made heavy use of the lightning sceptor thing, and the drake too. I think i lost all the vets i came into this with, or at least most of them. <br> <br> Normal 1.10.2<br> Difficulty: 10<br> Objectives: 100% clear<br> Dialogue: Good, you can see Kai mature.<br> Challenges: The buying power of the enemy was just massive, and the slaves consisted of mostly lv.0s which couldn't put up much of a fight. <br> Fun: 6<br> Changes: I would cut the buying power of the saurians, or create a greater presence of slaves/captives. Perhaps some rescue-able mermen going up the coast in cages. <br> Restarts: I had to restart twice because i kept getting owned. I finally made it on the third try.</div> <dl class="attachbox"> <dt> Attachments </dt> <dd> <dl class="file"> <dt><img src="./images/upload_icons/zip.gif" alt="" /> <a class="postlink" href="./../download/file.php?id=57332&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16">DW-Slavers_replay.gz</a></dt> <dd>(52.55 KiB) Downloaded 902 times</dd> </dl> </dd> <dd> <dl class="file"> <dt><img src="./images/upload_icons/zip.gif" alt="" /> <a class="postlink" href="./../download/file.php?id=57319&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16">DW-Slavers_Turn_29R.gz</a></dt> <dd>(61.2 KiB) Downloaded 935 times</dd> </dl> </dd> <dd> <dl class="file"> <dt><img src="./images/upload_icons/zip.gif" alt="" /> <a class="postlink" href="./../download/file.php?id=57318&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16">DW-Slavers-Auto-Save13.gz</a></dt> <dd>(75.2 KiB) Downloaded 929 times</dd> </dl> </dd> </dl> <div id="sig530360" class="signature">Fate is against me.</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 class="action-bar bar-bottom"> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=reply&amp;t=31295&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16" class="button" title="Post a reply"> <span>Post Reply</span> <i class="icon fa-reply fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i> </a> <form method="post" action="./../viewtopic.php?t=31295&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16"> <div class="dropdown-container dropdown-container-left dropdown-button-control sort-tools"> <span title="Display and sorting options" class="button button-secondary dropdown-trigger dropdown-select"> <i class="icon fa-sort-amount-asc fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span class="caret"><i class="icon fa-sort-down fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i></span> </span> <div class="dropdown hidden"> <div class="pointer"><div class="pointer-inner"></div></div> <div class="dropdown-contents"> <fieldset class="display-options"> <label>Display: <select name="st" id="st"><option value="0" selected="selected">All posts</option><option value="1">1 day</option><option value="7">7 days</option><option value="14">2 weeks</option><option value="30">1 month</option><option value="90">3 months</option><option value="180">6 months</option><option value="365">1 year</option></select></label> <label>Sort by: <select name="sk" id="sk"><option value="a">Author</option><option value="t" selected="selected">Post time</option><option value="s">Subject</option></select></label> <label>Direction: <select name="sd" id="sd"><option value="a" selected="selected">Ascending</option><option value="d">Descending</option></select></label> <hr class="dashed" /> <input type="submit" class="button2" name="sort" value="Go" /> </fieldset> </div> </div> </div> </form> <div class="pagination"> 31 posts <ul> <li class="active"><span>1</span></li> <li><a class="button" href="./../viewtopic.php?t=31295&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16&amp;start=15" role="button">2</a></li> <li><a class="button" href="./../viewtopic.php?t=31295&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16&amp;start=30" role="button">3</a></li> <li class="arrow next"><a class="button button-icon-only" href="./../viewtopic.php?t=31295&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16&amp;start=15" rel="next" role="button"><i class="icon fa-chevron-right fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Next</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="action-bar actions-jump"> <p class="jumpbox-return"> <a href="./../viewforum.php?f=45&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16" class="left-box arrow-left" accesskey="r"> <i class="icon fa-angle-left fa-fw icon-black" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>Return to “Dead Water”</span> </a> </p> <div class="jumpbox dropdown-container dropdown-container-right dropdown-up dropdown-left dropdown-button-control" id="jumpbox"> <span title="Jump to" class="button button-secondary dropdown-trigger dropdown-select"> <span>Jump to</span> <span class="caret"><i class="icon fa-sort-down fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i></span> </span> <div class="dropdown"> <div class="pointer"><div class="pointer-inner"></div></div> <ul class="dropdown-contents"> <li><a href="./../viewforum.php?f=64&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16" class="jumpbox-cat-link"> <span> Announcements</span></a></li> <li><a href="./../viewforum.php?f=62&amp;sid=1c30aaffd0051a6749e82d88c58e3d16" class="jumpbox-sub-link"><span class="spacer"></span> <span>&#8627;
