It's a mainline campaign, so all the objectives, dialogue, and fun-factor are fine (though it's never fun to get beaten so badly by skeletons).<br> <br> I feel very bad seeing the people who find this level easy. I do not find it easy at all. The walkthrough suggested that I used footpads and thugs, which I would have done anyway. However, even with the 4 mages that appeared on turn 11 (since I finished on turn 13 in the last level), I still found the stacks of undead impossible to get through. The undead chewed through Minister Hylas, the Arch Mage, and one of the White Mages, as well as every footpad and thug I threw at it. A Halberdier that I eventually got was good for taking out Necromancers, but Outlaws and Bandits all inevitably died. There were too many Draugs, too many shadows. Am I just bad at Wesnoth? To tell the truth, I have never beaten any campaigns on Hard, and only Liberty and HttT on Medium. I thought I would try my hand at TSG to see if I could beat it on hard. Obviously I couldn't. I've gotten through DiD and NR without cheating, albeit on Easy, but still... why is this level so hard? Even with the few units I had left, I know I could have taken the draugs and other enemies left (about 7 or <img class="smilies" src="./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="8)" title="Cool"> but the Lich just kept recruiting more, 2 chocobones or draugs or bone shooters or necromancers every turn... he has enough income to serve him forever. I was frustrated and got rid of the saves. I was doing fine until this scenario... sorry if I sound whiny or naive</div></blockquote> I think what would help you is to first recruit a few cavalry to go take all the villages on your half of the map. Then proceed to recruit footpads, and any veterans as damage soakers (royal guards, cavaliers). Attempt to split M'Brin's forces so that half try to cross the river and half cross the bridge (those loyal mermen, particularly if you made the hunter a netcaster, will help you achieve this goal). Keep footpads in 70% def terrain where possible too.</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="p373712" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile373712"> <dt class="no-profile-rank has-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=107206&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" class="avatar"><img class="avatar" src="./download/file.php?avatar=107206_1275558072.png" width="90" height="90" alt="User avatar" /></a> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=107206&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" class="username">stupidjaguar</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=107206&amp;sr=posts&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee">81</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> September 20th, 2007, 1:15 am</dd> <dd class="profile-custom-field profile-phpbb_location"><strong>Location:</strong> Where the shadows lie</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content373712"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=373712&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee#p373712">Re: South Guard 8b.

I sent the Silver Mage to go around taking the rest, and then he joined the front. I recruited footpads for several turns until my gold ran out. Then I could recruit 2 per turn (with about 30 income). I did not level my mermen as there wasn't a lot of water for them to be that useful. I still had the two loyals from the first scenario, but I know if I sent them out (in fact I sent one), they would be butchered eventually. 70% terrain helped a little, but even that cannot save footpads from 12 Draugs, with an assortment of Bone Shooters, Shadows, and Necromancers.</div> <div id="sig373712" class="signature">I am of two minds; I shall be complete when I can bring them into harmony.</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="p462184" class="post has-profile bg2"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile462184"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=118805&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" class="username">Zubb</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=118805&amp;sr=posts&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee">13</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> October 13th, 2009, 6:25 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content462184"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=462184&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee#p462184">Re: South Guard 8b.

The epilogue is good, but the dialog of the scenario itself feels lacking for a final battle, just being 4 or 5 lines, not one of which actually mentions the villain (I'm not counting saying the undead army is here as mentioning Mal M'Brin.). <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?</strong> <br> The enemy starts with an absurd amount of gold and is able to summon a ridiculous number of level 2 and 3 undead. My recall list didn't have enough veterans (especially since scenarios 6 and 7 are either difficult or impossible to level up units in) to stand a chance of facing that head on. (About 15 turns into the scenario the enemy had recruited 8 level 3 units and 29 level 2 units. For comparison I had 4 level 3's and 5 level 2's in my recall list. A bit of a mismatch there.) The strategy I found that worked was to flood the enemy with foodpads, at both places where they would try to cross the river. I took horrible horrible losses, but I could recruit one or two each turn, and bought myself enough time for the council to arrive (Barely enough time though. I had totally lost control of the bridge to the east, and the situation around the Westin itself was starting to heavily resemble a last stand). Their ability to kill undead really quickly plus the fact that the enemy had finally lost most of their first wave and were now trickling more units in slowly was enough to turn things around, and I had enough breathing room to recall my veterans to help push the enemy back. Even then it was one long running fight all the way to the enemy keep since the enemys income meant he was constantly recruiting every turn.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)</strong><br> 10. It's the largest scale battle I've played so far, and one of the most challenging. Makes for a pretty epic ending for the campaign. Plus the action doesn't ever stop in this map.<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> I'd improve the dialog to make it actually feel like the end of the campaign. Have Deoran metion that Mal M'Brin has come in person and this is their chance to finish him off, have Mal M'Brin taunt the heroes about how they are going to die or something else along those lines, just do something to actually highlight that you are finally fighting the Big Badguy of the campign.</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="p591924" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile591924"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=140094&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" class="username">nikita1996</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=140094&amp;sr=posts&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee">49</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> July 18th, 2015, 8:07 am</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content591924"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=591924&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee#p591924">Re: South Guard 8b.

(1-10)<br> 7. Mostly because I stubbornly kept trying to play aggressively from the start. Once I gave in and used a more defensive starting strategy, it went much better!<br> (3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?<br> very<br> (4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?<br> I liked it. Most of the real drama happened in Pebbles in the Flood, but I like flavor of the bandit units being the key to victory in this scenario and then "learning their lesson" and going back to being good citizens in the epilogue.<br> (5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?<br> I just kept trying to rush it and cross the river on the first few turns, and kept getting slaughtered. Once I slowed down and let them come to me, it was much easier. <br> (6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)<br> 8. You get a lot of gold, it's a big complicated map, you finally get access to some real FIREPOWER when the city council arrives. It creates some interesting strategic considerations when you're deciding when to recruit your units, which ones to choose, whether to send them to the eastern or western fronts, when to push across the river, etc. Someday, I want to replay this campaign and see if I can make it to this scenario with 4-5 merfolk Netcasters/Entanglers, because there are points in this scenario where you could hypothetically sneak them around the edge of the map through the swamps and pull off a dramatic assassination. <br> (7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?<br> The first few turns were mostly just me sitting around and waiting for the undead. It could be interesting if some ghouls pop out of a sewer in your castle at some point, or some other surprise. But that would just be icing on the cake, I like it already.</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=92769&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee">TSG-The Tides of War replay 20220330-060138.gz</a></dt> <dd>(49.1 KiB) Downloaded 170 times</dd> </dl> </dd> </dl> </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=10289&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" 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=10289&amp;start=15&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee"> <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"> 30 posts <ul> <li class="arrow previous"><a class="button button-icon-only" href="./viewtopic.php?t=10289&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" rel="prev" role="button"><i class="icon fa-chevron-left fa-fw" aria-hidden="true"></i><span class="sr-only">Previous</span></a></li> <li><a class="button" href="./viewtopic.php?t=10289&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" role="button">1</a></li> <li class="active"><span>2</span></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="action-bar actions-jump"> <p class="jumpbox-return"> <a href="./viewforum.php?f=42&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" class="left-box arrow-left" accesskey="r"> <i class="icon fa-angle-left fa-fw icon-black" aria-hidden="true"></i><span>Return to “The South Guard”</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=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" class="jumpbox-cat-link"> <span> Announcements</span></a></li> <li><a href="./viewforum.php?f=62&amp;sid=f74e7113642bfb4367b486becbf33aee" class="jumpbox-sub-link"><span class="spacer"></span> <span>&#8627;
