NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How could i be so stupid ? How could i let him fool me like that ? Damn i was SURE that *Spoiler* Gardon was the traitor ! But i was wrong ... you wont get away with this Ganethas i swear !
I was sure i was following the ''right'' path (Aside from making Aedale a demon of course)
I mean Gardon is distrusted by everyone and is ruthless and on top of that he wanted to use necromancers and demon magic

Aside from that you may want to tweak map 5 and 9 which are VERY hard, map 5 i managed with 3 hours and a buttloads of loads of course, there is no unit in my army to counter those damn infernals

Edit : I didnt said had i thought about the campaing
Its AWESOME
The choices add so much replay value, the history is good and involving
Im gonna have a second playthought right away
Is there a release date for book 2 ?
Im looking forward to play it

Obs : Almost forgot Salana forked lighting says ''Calls forth a cone of lighting from the SEA WITCH'' you may want to change it to ''Ranger''

-Just because someone isn't liked doesn't mean they're the bad guy.
-Those two chapters are meant to be hard and I can't get Shar to budge on Chapter five.
-The release is a long time away, I try to test as soon as I can so you guys and gals can play this stuff.
*Glances at Shar* The ability descriptions will get changed.

Since Kasrkin already answered to your questions, I don't have to add anything.
Oh, wait, I might have to add something. I consider making Chapter Five (and perhaps even Chapter Nine) a bit easier.
I'm currently focusing on the First Orc Book, so this could take a while.

Don't change ch. 9 it's perfect as it is.

Gardon is the kind of person who would do the necessary thing for the right reason no matter what, definitely not the type of other people (unlike Blen who is good looking, brave, always charging) but after all, that makes Gardon a true leader among generals.
Btw, Gardon has the right to execute Genethas - a veteran who survived the Void War (shown during the Interlude), so he'll simply execute Blen for betraying him (even when he was fooled) in the next story (if chosen wrongly), am I correct? (Hard to believe Gardon will leave all of them alone what they did in Chapter 11)

 

[doceshivas]

I dont know i think he have ulterior motives Genethas wasnt all wrong, he really do wants power.
I think he is hiding something, hes not a hero or protagonist that im sure
Even at the Derryn outpost i had the feeling that he was using me
I even go as far as to say that he also knew the attack but didnt made nothing to ensure the outpost was destroyed and he would had acess to that cave
Still i regret siding with Genethas
I originally went with Gardon but then i think ''Hes going to just use me, im not that dumb'', watched the cinematic again and then went with Genethas
There is a line where Genethas say ''Go and tell that Greymoore isnt his puppet, unlike the rest of his men''
How clever so instead of being Gardon puppet i become yours T_T

Hi! So I haven't finished the campaign yet, but I already love it. Only one thing disappoints me, though; in mission 2, it says the Orc army arrives in 30 minutes, but you don't actually get to fight them. That annoys me immensely; I thought I'd get to fight a losing battle. I even saved three minutes before, so that I could fight the battle after I win the mission. Just thought I'd say that. I assume I'm not the only one disappointed, so I thought I'd share it.

 

[Shar Dundred]

@ngxkhoi and doceshivas: I'm glad to see that you enjoyed the campaign so much that you are discussing it here. I can't tell you more about this, however, without giving too many spoilers.

@Idragogode297: I see your point but if I'd simply send an army, there's still the slight possibility that you survive somehow while you're supposed to lose.

That was pretty much the point.
Defeating an unbeatable army is something that's fun to try and accomplish.

It's a bit late for that and we end up doing that anyways in chapter five,(*throws a random object out a window*), and nine.

Ah, I finally got to that level. It's not *that* hard, at least not against the first ridgebase. It's just amassing a big enough army takes a while.

Mhm, just watch out for blue and multiple armies attacking you at once.

 

[Yaka]

good job man, it was very fun.

 

[Joinma]

The campaign is quite amazing!
Terrain looked plain and simple, not quite interesting but since I played on hard so I was clicking continuously and paid little attention to it.
There were some minor bugs such as when you pressed esc while movies were played.
The branch story is quite amazing. I could not understand them all in one run.
Since campaign will be fixed in the future I can give 5/5 for this campaign.

By the way,....
1. I had not read about campaign description on the first page before finishing the campaign... I found out that "character tag" was a spoiler. There should have 1 more character who is crucial on the last mission beside another one.
2. On last mission, Is there a path to defeat both or the red force? I feel as if they both were trolling against player. The red one is interesting to fight as well but I don't know which path I have to take..
3. My first impression about this map is nothing else but the campaign size... I mean ..really? 10MB with almost 5/5 rating.

Edited: I checked every single details up to chapter 5.. now
I can say that there are many holes such as scripts & area.
Compared the campaign to others.
The advantages are choices, plots and places where important objects were placed.
The downsides are graphic, terrain, uncompleted triggers, large area for nothing, unwell testing (1M gold mine, etc.)

 

[Kasrkin]

There were some minor bugs such as when you pressed esc while movies were played.

Do you remember the missions this happened in?

 

[Joinma]

Do you remember the missions this happened in?

In mission where a player gets the first shard... if one chooses "leave it", conversation speed will be as if it was unstable.

By the way..
The last mission, Is Aedale + critter + tank an overpowered combo?
The mission is too easy with that. However, on my first run, the battle was bloody hell because I didn't have Aedale.

 

[Shar Dundred]

2. On last mission, Is there a path to defeat both or the red force? I feel as if they both were trolling against player. The red one is interesting to fight as well but I don't know which path I have to take..

There's no way to do so unless you want to be a team killer.

3. My first impression about this map is nothing else but the campaign size... I mean ..really? 10MB with almost 5/5 rating.

Well, since this is a campaign and no multiplayer map, size is amongst the most unimportant things here.

Glad you enjoyed playing the campaign.

 

[grasep]

One of the best campaigns ever played i liked the story much ... Choosing ur path was awesome too ... Chapter 5 and Chaphter 9 was Insane... i lost hope to complete this campaign in chapter 5 especially because i found no way to defeat Orange as when i try to kill the soldiers that defend the base ... they are trained again. and when i aim its Castle i found out that all Green`s Army Starts to help him.. the same happened when i reached to Green`s Castle .. yellow helped him. anyway i found out that its no way to make it alone ... These Elves allies are useless especially Lady Riana .. she isnt even a hero just a normal Sorceress ... i could finish dat chapter only with Gardon`s help. Waiting for ur other Campaigns/Books keep it up.

Yeah, Gardon is the only ally that brings any actual heavy hitters. Beating this mission without him is a bit ridiculous.

As for other books, there are currently four chapters available for public play for the first Orc book. The fifth will be available soon. (TM)

Stuck on chapter 6

Hey, I'm enjoying this campaign it's very well done.

Atm I'm stuck on chapter 6 and I don't know how to proceed. I'm in a small room with an invulnerable enemy hero, he doesn't attack me or do anything. I don't see anything in the room to interact with. The waygate that let me in won't even let me out.
A screenshot of the room: https://imgur.com/hBZLX8t

Maybe I missed something obvious but any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Hm, strange.
How exactly did this happen? Have you skipped the cinematic or something? Have you tried to play the chapter again?

 

[ZapperGhandi]

I probably skipped the cinematic, I usually do.
I haven't tried playing the chapter again.

I'll see if I have an earlier save so I can test the cinematic thing.
thanks


StoPCampinGn00b: Double post eliminated, second post content added below.

Loaded a save before the cinematic of that room, watched the cinematic and it worked.
thanks for the suggestion

Ps. Enjoyed the cinematic, I think I'll not skip the rest of them.

 

[prodongthap1020]

Campaign's great one,love the alt story & ending
However,I need upgrade on Gardon & Blen bad
+ Gardon : his Ult (War Aura) so damn OP (70% damage boost,really?)
Glad he ain't leading the last battle and let Salana do
+ Blen : may be you can replace his current Passive (Command Aura) & Ultimate (Avatar)
by Thorn Aura (maybe Bash ?) and some "area-damage or area-effect" ultimate
I'm quite afraid of the strength Gardon & Blen's combined damage-boost passive
it stacks up to 100% (70% of War Aura + 30% of Command Aura) damage to all units around
Really,Shad ?
By the way,apart of spells,cinematic prob and difficulty
I think this campaign is the great one,though
rate it 4/5
maybe you think I'm little "rude" or somethin'
but I compared it to tomoraider's campaign and you still many upgrade to work on,true ?
so sorry if I said somethin' letting you down

Really, Shar ?

There's only one chapter with both Gardon AND Blen playable. Both Blen and Gardon will get some new spells, but I haven't intended to change their ultimates or auras so far. Yes, Gardon's Aura might give 70% but it's a passive ulti so it's absolutely justified in my opinion.

No offense taken.

 

[doceshivas]

Something that really bothers me
The last chapter is complete watered down, the enemy forces have much less hp than your units, my heroes ally also have much more hp than the enemy
In hard version i think you should change your ally heroes (Independant of who you allied) to have less hp than the enemy
For exemple Merlon have 2375 hp while the random paladins have 1725
Counciler Birram with 2275 hp while random archmages have 1485 hp
If you ally Gardon for exemple you want to lower their hp while increasing of the enemy to make it more challenging

 

[Shar Dundred]

I'm currently working on an update for the First Human Book which includes, among other things, a new ability for Blen.

Release should be around in a week.

 

[Kasrkin]

Yeah yeah, I'll get to work.

 

[GoldenShark]

JUst finished the campaign and my impression is wow! I liked every bit of it, aside from that hardass high elf defense mission(Almost ragequit one point ).
And one question: Is it possible to carry out our choices would change somethings in the next campaigns?? Cuz I wanna see what my choices would lead to.

Yes, they will affect the next Human Books.

 

[Deleted member 239421]

Hey man, just finished the campaign recently, great job!

A question, what would you say is the official cameo of the story? My guess is all the first choices given but I wanna hear what you have to say.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Thanks.

A question, what would you say is the official cameo of the story? My guess is all the first choices given but I wanna hear what you have to say.

The canon you mean?
I'll post the canon choices for the released Books once the Orc Book is released as well.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Dude that elven chapter is insane, that vampire elf is pumping out infernals at insane rate, 3 infernals are enough to wreck your entire army, you basically have no counter against it and it's immune to half of your troops and no wai you can defeat 7 of them with maxed army, then there are hordes of doom guards causing additional trouble if infernals aren't enough, the ally reinforcements are laughable

 

[Shar Dundred]

I've already decreased the difficulty of Chapter Five. It will be included in the next update.

The canon choices of the First Human Book have been added to the Author's Notes.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Yeah, only way to defeat them is to build several arcane sanctums directly at their nose and pump them out until you have gold (and be sure you have at least 3000 gold, it depletes quite quickly).

 

[Shar Dundred]

[ldragogode297]

Did I read that right? The orcs actually get an overpowered base when the emissary escapes? Sweet!

 

[Yrk]

I think, its not mylady/mylord, its milady/milord.

 

[ldragogode297]

It's all relative based on where you live, there's about 4 terms for it, my lady/my lord, mylady/mylord, milady/milord, m'lady/m'lord, and then all those other terms people use.

 

[HunterOrdo]

Loved it. Absolute blast so much so that I spent all day playing it and beating it which... is not something I have done in quite sometime. The missions were interesting, most of the characters were diverse and engaging, and the story was great seeing as it is the 'intro' campaign for the grand story which, if the trend keeps up, is going to be a masterpiece.

Potential Spoilers (Although I don't think there is but better safe than sorry.)



Potential Spoilers



Last Warning for Spoilers....




I adored Gardon and thought he was an amazing character, and I truly enjoyed every mission that I was able to utilize him, by and far, my favorite character so far. (Although, his aura stacks with Command Aura making him... a.... bit... strong... I gave him the Shield of Honor I had picked up earlier for a 80% increase to everyone's damage turning him and his men into a walking ball of DOOM!). I can only hope that in the next human campaign (depending on what happens) we get to see more of him, his interactions with other characters such as the Elven Ranger and his history as, out of them all, his history seems to have the most promise of a story.

On the flip side... Greymoore was... boring. He really seems like the incredibly generic 'hero' perhaps you did that on purpose by making him rather... 'empty' it allows the player a more immersive feel by 'becoming' Greymoore a little easier much like how people enjoy Keanu Reeves in action movies due to his rather 'blank slate'? I felt the other characters were far more interesting and that he was overshadowed by their more... colorful personalities. I won't tell you how to write your story as you are doing a wonderful job, but I just felt I should say that as what seems to be the 'main character' of the human stories is being vastly overshadowed by the more interesting human campaign characters: Gardon, Elven Ranger, the vengeful dwarf, the young mage with something to prove, the cautious paladin and even the, sometimes grating, aggressive old mage. I applaud you for being able to make me feel so attached to most of the characters, and I was very, very, very, very invested in the turnout for the final mission and praying that my beloved anti-hero was, indeed, an anti-hero and nothing farther into the dark side... yet.

Overall, I really, really enjoyed it and loved it. I look forward to playing your Orc campaign when you are finished!

Gardon will be a main character in the next Human Book. More important than in the First Book.

From the very beginning, Blen was supposed to be the colorless hero, focusing on nothing but the war. He's a paradigm for the soldiers and therefore has to act like this. It's true that, compared to other characters, he may be the most uninteresting, but it doesn't fit his personality to push himself forward to become more interesting. Also, I didn't want the player to be pushed to certain directions when it comes to choices.

Overall, I really, really enjoyed it and loved it. I look forward to playing your Orc campaign when you are finished!

I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback. Should you be interested in the demo of the Orc Book, click here. At the moment, it includes everything but the final chapter and still needs a few fixes, but most of it is done.

Ah, I understand. By making him into a neutral 'gray', the player is open to choose whatever they feel like without that outside influence of the characters... well... character in it or otherwise feeling like the betrayed a central aspect of the character and shatter the fourth wall. Makes sense, and the side characters do a very good job at carrying the story aspect and being endearing.

Spoiler

And with Gardon being a major central character of Human Book 2, I am not sure I will have anything to nitpick with.

[cleavinghammer]

First mission: terrain is nice, if a bit flat, but the only real issue is that the map borders are too sudden, especially jarring in cutscenes.

Other than that and a few grammar problems, this is off to a good start.

The second mission spawned two messenger groups at once, was that supposed to happen?

Seventh mission: the ship-building main quest updates call it a side quest called "Treasure Hunting".

Eighth mission: killing the demon lord causes a bunch of units to show up and join without any explanation.

Ninth mission: For some reason, batriders are sometimes unselectable and sometimes these have no model (units still attack them though). Not sure about the reinforcements, they tend to screw up you upkeep more than anything else.

 

[cleavinghammer]

Okay, beat it once, now to go back and get the other missions.

Overall, the campaign is very high quality, story is interesting, as are the characters (although the final mission has Gardon doing his best Champion of Khorne impression without being present on the battlefield, which is weird), not too many bugs and glitches, grammar and spelling remain readable.

The major problem is the terrain: vast expanses of it are flat, monotonous and just boring. It doesn't affect gameplay, but it's just ugly and distracting.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Seventh mission: the ship-building main quest updates call it a side quest called "Treasure Hunting".

Will fix that.

Eighth mission: killing the demon lord causes a bunch of units to show up and join without any explanation.

There are no units showing up and joining suddenly. Your units are only moved to another position.

Ninth mission: For some reason, batriders are sometimes unselectable and sometimes these have no model (units still attack them though). Not sure about the reinforcements, they tend to screw up you upkeep more than anything else.

The Batrider model still causes some problems. Might have to replace it although I thought it was fixed.

Yeah, terrain is a little problem, I'm well aware of that. Perhaps I'll do something about it.
