Maybe I should have tried taking a group of submerging skeletons north or south to surround the enemy, but it seemed like that would take too much time and leave Ardonna poorly defended.</li></ul> <ul><li>I had two Level 2 archers, and that helped a lot. Leadership on the new captain unit probably means that Level 1 archers would have been sufficient. Though I really wasn't fearful of horse units... the mages and the swordsmen, though, were trouble.</li></ul> <ul><li>Almost no healing options: a couple safe water villages for my one Level 1 bat, and a dangerous water village by the south dock.</li></ul> (5) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10) <ul><li><strong class="text-strong">7.5</strong>. It's a solid challenge with an interesting starting recruitment zone.</li></ul> (6) What suggestions do you have to make it more fun? <ul><li>During the opening dialogue, I might be funnier if Ardonna is whispering for the captain to shut up, but the memory of his friendship with the Knight is allowing him just enough autonomy to reply honestly.</li></ul> <ul><li>It might be interesting to have the ghost appear in the opening dialogue, not identifying itself, just watching. Possibly more suspenseful that way.</li></ul> <ul><li>And/Or, the Knight leader could send a unit away to go inform nearby towns of an undead invasion, only to have the mysterious ghost steal the unit away (or kill it).</li></ul> <ul><li>Or, when the enemy units are spreading out to claim villages, there is a village in the bottom-right of the map, near some forests. The first enemy unit that claims that village could be mysteriously taken/killed (by the ghost), and then the rest of the enemy units should stay away from that village.

Hard is intentionally very hard. You should fight from the ship until there are only two or three units left on land, then invade at dusk or night with expendable skeletons in front to take the hits from the knight. Also, try to make kills with walking corpses every turn. The enemy will have to waste powerful attacks killing their former friends. (There are a few scenarios where recruiting three or four WC's is really helpful. Bandits is another one.) <blockquote cite="./../viewtopic.php?p=628498&sid=c7ead7336eeda56a3c1cc9ccc500fa93#p628498"><div><cite><a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=143820&sid=c7ead7336eeda56a3c1cc9ccc500fa93">SanDonk</a> wrote: <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=628498&sid=c7ead7336eeda56a3c1cc9ccc500fa93#p628498" data-post-id="628498" onclick="if(document.getElementById(hash.substr(1)))href=hash">↑</a><span class="responsive-hide">May 20th, 2018, 4:25 pm</span></cite> Ardonna is too passive.

They tend to be either quite a easy ones (the ones before and after this - 4 and 6) or terribly nightmare hard (this one and 3 - bandits, thanks god for the idea of backstabbing leader with a bat, I would be stuck here still until now instead <img class="smilies" src="./../images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">). I like challenges, but usually restarting a scenario 5 or 6 times is enough for me. But I got your point, perhaps it is me, who have to improve <img class="smilies" src="./../images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title="Smile"> It is always interesting, when i win a scenario at 20th try and have absolutely no idea, what I changed in my strategy from the last attempt (although I see a massive improvement from the first few lame attempts). Actually I did many thing you mentioned (waited 3 turns with all unites at the boat and then walked outside in turn 4 while dusk and used 2 walking corpses in front of my army to make killing blows on injured enemies - created like 3 more and one of them evolved to lvl1, actually a corpse of a rider). Also essential for my success were few bats, who confused enemy riders and lured them away from battlefield.<br> <br> I am interested in the feedback of other players, this is just my personal viewpoint. Nice campaign with a lot of work inside it, though.

At that point, the enemy probably has at least two dozen units who can all attack at once. You'll get slaughtered. I wait on the ship until turn 17 or 18. From the ship, you face four or five units at a time, and some of them are in the water. You can also recruit almost every turn if your bats can hold some villages. You still lose a lot of units, but it's at least manageable. When I leave the ship, the enemy usually has only two or three units besides the leader. I have at least 10.<br> <br> I am interested in feedback, but I'm not actually the maintainer of the campaign any more. That's SigurdFireDragon.

This scenario has made me actively dislike Wesnoth. <br> <br> 6. Especially as part of a campaign, this scenario is not fun, is anti-fun, because I realize I probably have to go back and play some other unfun scenarios to get the right troops. Because this campaign has limited strategic choices, that basically means I have to go back and grind or save scum. <br> <br> I have been playing Wesnoth since 2004. I know the basic strategies involved. If a campaign is laid out in such a way that its not obvious in the first few scenarios what I have to do, and then I have to slog through several scenarios, just to find out that I wasn't slogging the right way, that is...not good. Is it so bad that a user can sit down and play a game and have fun? Like, that there should be an obvious way to get ahead? I mean, I get that challenging is important, but also, sometimes its okay for at least the first few introductory scenarios to be fun, and to be ways to build up for challenging scenarios. <br> <br> Its also disappointing because its obvious there was a lot of effort put into this campaign, technically it is gorgeous, but I have already had to repeat one scenario. (The scenario against the bandits)<br> <br> Like, part of this is that it is an undead campaign. Undead are supposed to be cannon fodder, and they aren't really elegant. You just send them forward. But without ghosts or Dark Adepts, it gets kind of boring, because I don't really have any special abilities to use against the AI.
