(1-10)</strong><br> 9 on Challenging, 9.5 on Difficult. The change to 1.9.2 made it only a tiny bit easier.

(No save-reloads.) Even on "challenging", it's difficult. Losing any village is a disaster, because of all the Soulless that spawn and attack on the same turn. Between that and your own units turning into Walking Corpses, the situation can very quickly spiral out of control.<br> <br> Strategy tips:<br> <br> Your basic strategy should be to take and hold as many villages as possible, both to prevent the Soulless spawning and to boost your income. I give the enemy only the three villages closest to his keep (not counting the two in the mounains, which I can't do anything about), and even then, I send two Citizens immediately to the two villages west of his keep, just to slow him down. If you don't let many villages fall into enemy hands, eventually your income will be overwhelming.<br> <br> Focus on losing <em class="text-italics">none</em> of the villages north of the eastern river. On Difficult, this is a challenge, but quite possible. To accomplish this, it is necessary that you got a Quick Citizen in the east on the scenario start, so that you can protect the villages there from the Skeleton that starts near there. Keep that area free of Soulless and Walking Corpses, so that you can concentrate your Citizens there and suicide attack them versus Skeletons. Send a weaker Hunter-equipped force south to take the villages there and clean up any Soulless / Walking Corpses in the area. Let the Soulless/WC mermen advance a bit in between your two main forces, so that your baby king can dart out from the keep to get an easy kill or two. Keep your Citizens safe from becoming WC's, which often means sitting them on villages, but you can think of other ways.<br> <br> A key to success is understanding how the Bats work. They will (always?) forego capturing a village in favor of making an attack. So, if there is a friendly or unowned village within range of a Bat, you have to make sure the Bat has someone to attack. Citizens make good bat bait.<br> <br> Towards the end, your income will be quite large, so it's better to milk XP than go for an early finish. You can swarm the enemy keep with Citizens and take your time to end it. On difficult, I was able to give the final killing blow of the Dark Sorcerer to my leader, leveling him in the process.<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> I hate when units that spawn out of a village move and attack on the same turn, and doubly so here, where it doesn't make sense. Shouldn't it take some time? Anyway, this "feature" makes the scenario difficult and fickle. [Edit: This is fixed for 1.9.2. I am happy with the fix.]<br> <br> It's too important that the eastern Citizen at start is Quick. I suggest forcing him to be Quick. Alternatively, you could back up the Skeleton. [Edit: This is also fixed for 1.9.2.]<br> <br> Making these two changes would make the scenario easier, which I think is desirable.<br> <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><br> I lost a few times, restarting from the start each time. Mostly it was the Priestess getting killed that did it.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(9) If you know a bit of the Wesnoth Markup Language - do you think that the WML of this scenario is clear and well commented? If not which part would you like to be documented better?</strong><br> Very well done. It even includes substantial strategy tips.<br> <br> * * *<br> I usually attach a replay, but both are coming up corrupt. [Edit: 1.9.2 replays are also coming up corrupt. It probably has to do with the first spawning of Walking Corpses / Soulless.]</div> <div class="notice"> Last edited by <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=122338&amp;sid=44dc8589e6f87fd13399f335a2a07420" class="username">Maiklas3000</a> on November 15th, 2010, 1:27 pm, edited 1 time in total. </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="p453913" class="post has-profile bg2"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile453913"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./../memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=117946&amp;sid=44dc8589e6f87fd13399f335a2a07420" class="username">sw_emigre</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./../search.php?author_id=117946&amp;sr=posts&amp;sid=44dc8589e6f87fd13399f335a2a07420">38</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> August 10th, 2009, 10:17 pm</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content453913"> <h3 > <a href="./../viewtopic.php?p=453913&amp;sid=44dc8589e6f87fd13399f335a2a07420#p453913">Re: Scenario Review: DW 1 - Invasion!</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./../posting.php?mode=quote&amp;p=453913&amp;sid=44dc8589e6f87fd13399f335a2a07420" 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=453913&amp;sid=44dc8589e6f87fd13399f335a2a07420#p453913" 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=117946&amp;sid=44dc8589e6f87fd13399f335a2a07420" class="username">sw_emigre</a></strong> &raquo; </span><time datetime="2010-09-01T23:21:38+00:00">September 1st, 2010, 11:21 pm</time> </p> <div class="content"><blockquote><div><cite>Development Team wrote:</cite>(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on?

Recruited a castle of 3 initiates and 4 citizens, then next round a fighter, a hunter, and two citizens. I basically went straight ahead, only detouring to take one eastern village. Attack at day/dusk, pull back in the night, and then reattack at dawn. I think I finished by turn 10, while most of the lich's forces were north, east, and west village-grabbing. The terrain doesn't favour the enemy getting villages, too many mountains slow him down. Not much levelling or experience, but you don't get much fighting with level 0's anyway. Kai is now level 1, and I have a brawler for my efforts. 256 gold bonus should help in the next round, I assume.<br> <br> (6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)<br> <br> 3. Gets you warmed up.<br> <br> (7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?<br> <br> No immediate attack when new undead arrive when enemy takes a village, though once I knew it was coming there was no problem. <br> <br> Honestly, when I played it, the enemy spent too much time going for villages, and most of its forces were nowhere near the castle when I attacked it, so it wasn't either too difficult or interesting. Maybe have more income for the enemy, or less village-grabbing on its part. <br> <br> <br> (8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?<br> <br> First playthrough, I was completely unprepared for the eemy taking a village and then having new units to attack me with. As it turns out, I may have been able to fight through it, but I had the game on accelerated speed, and things happened so fast, all of the sudden there were FOUR new undead...two from a village, and two of my citizens. I had no idea what happened, and replayed at slower speed just to figure it out!<br> <br> (9) If you know a bit of the Wesnoth Markup Language - do you think that the WML of this scenario is clear and well commented?

People will expect it from now on, so I don't want to change it back. I will have to rebalance the scenario. (Grumble, grumble) Pewskeepski's suggestion might be the best way to do that.
