(1-10)</strong><br> On average a 5 or 6. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?</strong><br> Kind of clear at first, but it becomes much clearer after the first couple of attempts.<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 kind of starting to come together at this point but the development here is really quite weak. <br> <br> Firstly this is not just some artefact, this is THE artefact, the Sceptre of Fire.. hordes of level3 Trolls, Orcs and Dwarves have bashed each other silly over this, kings have been poisoned, this is what sent Landar gaga and turned him psychotic, wars have been fought, and had they invented railways and steam engines the Dwarves would probably have a pretty impressive metro system today. <br> <br> Also, given what is coming later in the storyline, Delfador I feel would be extremely nervous, ill at ease, and if Konrad had been given a better character there would be plenty of opportunity for banter between him and Li'Sar. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?</strong><br> Funnily enough it's actually finding the sceptre itself. It's actually quite small and insignificant, more like a glowing bottle of red holy water. A few times either Konrad or another unit has been duking it out with a Goblin Knight or I've gone three turns past it. <br> <br> Moving Kalenz through this scenario always seems like a major pain. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)</strong><br> It's kind of fun and pretty engaging so I'd give it a 6 or a 7. <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> The storyline needs much more development.. and.. this scenario could be much more engaging and challenging. I just find it hard to accept that you'd get all these enemies in a cave wandering about and none of them would recognize the Sceptre of Fire or its significance<br> <br> The random map and having to search is good, but I feel it would be much better if the closer you got to the Sceptre the more enemies you had to fight. I would also make the scenario unique in having keeps of different sizes throughout the cave, some with enemies on, and some empty, so players would be prevented from making all their recruiting and recalling decisions at the start. <br> <br> Instead of just competing with enemy units to capture villages, how about also having to fight over and capture keeps? This would introduce an element of risk. Do you stay and recruit a few times in a castle with three spaces? Or do you look for a bigger keep? What if you recruit too few units? Do you go back and recruit more? Or do you try and take a larger keep from a weaker enemy? <br> <br> You could even perhaps go as far as having Li'sar stay an ally and using her old recall list, but you get to control her as well as Konrad, so you are competing against yourself (or having the characters competing against each other). <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(8 ) How much gold did you have at the start of the scenario?</strong><br> It varies and I can't remember exactly offhand, but it's generally enough to recruit or recall two or three keeps of units. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(9) About how many higher level units did you have in your recall list? Don't list them out.<br> </strong><br> If I'm doing well at this point I'll have around half a dozen level 3 units, about another half dozen or more level 2's with a good chance of levelling up and about two dozen level 2's. Usually these are ranged units - Avengers, Enchantresses, maybe a Shyde or a Champion and it's usually - due to my style of playing Elves - two Rangers or Sorceresses to every Hero or Captain. <br> <br> If not then I'll have maybe one or two level3's and the rest level 2's.</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="p564540" class="post has-profile bg1"> <div class="inner"> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile564540"> <dt class="no-profile-rank no-avatar"> <div class="avatar-container"> </div> <a href="./memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=136227&sid=f75264f3337ecb9e8f694d2e167bf441" class="username">thejasper</a> </dt> <dd class="profile-posts"><strong>Posts:</strong> <a href="./search.php?author_id=136227&sr=posts&sid=f75264f3337ecb9e8f694d2e167bf441">7</a></dd> <dd class="profile-joined"><strong>Joined:</strong> December 20th, 2013, 2:00 am</dd> </dl> <div class="postbody"> <div id="post_content564540"> <h3 > <a href="./viewtopic.php?p=564540&sid=f75264f3337ecb9e8f694d2e167bf441#p564540">Re: Scenario 17: The Sceptre of Fire</a> </h3> <ul class="post-buttons"> <li> <a href="./posting.php?mode=quote&p=564540&sid=f75264f3337ecb9e8f694d2e167bf441" 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=564540&sid=f75264f3337ecb9e8f694d2e167bf441#p564540" 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&u=136227&sid=f75264f3337ecb9e8f694d2e167bf441" class="username">thejasper</a></strong> » </span><time datetime="2013-12-22T04:15:50+00:00">December 22nd, 2013, 4:15 am</time> </p> <div class="content">(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on?<br> 1.10.4 med<br> (2) How difficult did you find the scenario?

I would think her getting the sceptre would be a game loser. Instead its a winner. So I had her grab it. No explanation given as to what that means. I mean, she basically just became the heir right? She is the bad guy right? Ok, we had an alliance, a temporary one, but that doesn't explain her changing sides. In fact it seems to me I just handed the queen the victory. Very strange. Either explain it or remove it. Maybe the next scenarionwill explain it. Also, I gave up on the berserker unit in this scenario. I was trying to level it to see if that made it better, but it is too much of a hassle and I can also just use a unit that doesnt die. I'm assuming it is meant to be a kamikaze unit, but since I have only one and I can't get more, what use is it.

Since there was still six castles (plus my own) with the two empty ones pretty close to occupied ones, perhaps the map generator is wired to simply not place enemy sides which would be too close to existing sides?

They are both far too accepting of the possibility of the other getting the Sceptre, given that it should be assumed that once they leave the caves and their alliance ends they would go back to being enemies. Also while it was nice of Li'sar to give me her purse, it would be a lot nicer if she gave me all the level 2 and 3 troops she kept hiring instead of them apparently vanishing into thin air never to be mentioned again. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?</strong><br> The time limit was somewhat tight and could have been messy if I hadn't divided my troops into 2 groups, to explore the map faster. Other then that there was no real obstacles, the only threats were the occasional level 3 trolls and orcs, and they were all easily neutralized by being slowed. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)</strong><br> 3. The map is too big for its contents. Most of the scenario is spent slowly trekking through caves killing a trickling of enemies that come one or two at a time. Not really remotely engaging. <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> Shrink the map and make the enemies recruit more units. Also looking at my replay I saw some cool effects where the ground would break apart to form chasms of lava, but it was always happening at points far further out then I could have reached at the time it was occurring so I never saw that in game. It would be nice if I could have actually seen that happening.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(8 ) How much gold did you have at the start of the scenario?</strong><br> 603<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(9) About how many higher level units did you have in your recall list?

(1-10)</strong><br> 4.5. Not very challenging but not trivial either. <br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?</strong><br> As clear as they can be.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?</strong><br> Very interesting and the dialog is extremely good so kudos for that. The descriptions of scepter's power are simply awesome. <br> There are only two things that bother me, so spoilers <div style="margin:20px;margin-top:5px"><div class="quotetitle" style="vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block"><strong>Spoiler:</strong> <input class="button1" style="font-size:0.8em" type="button" value="Show" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].style.display = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; this.innerText = ''; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show'; this.innerText = ''; }"></div><div class="quotecontent" style="display:none">Firstly, Konrad and Li'sar both have very little reaction if the other one gets the scepter. If Konrad gets it, Li'sar doesn't even comment on it (and considering how much she pursued him, and taking into account her trickery with the hidden duelist and telling Konrad that valley of death is safe, it would be resonable to assume she would be enraged and would try to somehow take the scepter by betraying them). If Li'sar takes it, Konrad just wishes her all the best. Her having the scepter means that she would probably be able to defeat them once they exit the caves (as she said she would) and that all of their efforts so far would've been for naught. He should at least be a bit upset about it. And Delfador doesn't seem to object much either. At this point Konrad's nonchalance about big issues makes him appear incredibly daft and raises questions about whether Delfador has the realm's best intentions in mind or is simply using the poor boy for his own ends.<br> <br> Secondly, the scepter has so far been portrayed simply as a powerful artefact and a symbol of kingship. 'Garard issues the Edict of the Scepter, providing that the crown shall settle after his death on whichever member of the royal family successfully retrieves it from the Caverns of Flame.'- from Wesnoth timeline. However, there is no mention of it having some intrinsic connection with the heir. This first appears in this scenario and raises some (perhaps unintended) implications. We have these two quotes, first one being from Delfador about sensing the scepter's presence: "It calls out to the heir". The problem being that the ruby has only ever been in possession of 2 human kings (Haldric I and Haldric II), and that was some 500 years ago. The former one was corrupted by the ruby and the latter had it for a very short time before giving it to the dwarves to make the scepter. It's been around more dwarves than humans and for much longer period at that. There is really no reason for it to "call out to the heir". <br> The other quote is when you move a unit to the scepter: "Only a true successor to the throne can possibly dare to take this!" This quote implies that anyone other than the rightful heir is unable to hold it (otherwise anyone of the hundreds of creatures from the cave would've taken it by now and you could also take it with other units and bring it to Konrad/Li'sar). But if that is so, then how come Konrad can take it? It would be better to just say that only a person with a strong enough willpower can take it or something like that.<br> Tl;dr: removing bits about the scepter sensing the rightful heir in any way would resolve the confusion.</div></div> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?</strong><br> When I began, the area around the keep had several villages so I assumed that the whole map would have a relatively dense positioning of villages and decided against using any healers (only shydes can move competently in caves but that's a lot of upkeep). When I saw that villages were much sparser than expected, I had already brought so many units that I wasn't comfortable with recalling shydes. As a result, keeping my units alive was a bit challenging. Aside from that I don't think that there's anything very challenging that is inherent in the scenario itself.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)</strong><br> 10. Sure, there are some small improvements that could be made in dialog or something but the scenario was awesome. This is how an underground map should look like! Vast and eerie and surprising, not a long drag like in The Lost General. Even though the movement is slow, there were enough enemies and they were nicely positioned so I always had something to do and it wasn't tedious at any point. And there are all these new and interesting mechanics: the redish glow, expanding lava, random map, Delfador concentrating on scepter's location, rumbling sounds... everything adds up to create an intense atmosphere and the descriptive dialog and foreboding music take that even further. This scenario didn't feel like a level in a free open-source game but like a chapter in a good fantasy book with fully fleshed out lore and poetic language. I truly cannot properly express how much it impressed me considering that I last played it on 1.0.<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> More interaction between Konrad and Li'sar but their characters could use a lot of development throught the whole campaign anyways. Maybe some kind of a warning in dialog about the dangers of expanding lava. Not much else really.<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(8 ) How much gold did you have at the start of the scenario?</strong><br> 740. (440 on start + 300 from Li'sar)<br> <br> <strong class="text-strong">(9) About how many higher level units did you have in your recall list?
