Mysteries of Dodrana

[shadowhog]

Mission 1
Always like seeing demi-hero characters who can be revived
Wilma will talk about bringing her to the magical barrier when she is not in your party yet
berserker hood says it gives +4 str/agi when it gives +5
Is Wilma suppose to have a attack projectile/animation, she kind of waves her hand and then damages happens. She may be casting something but her range is 300 so maybe not enough time to see it.
Wilma is being affected by frost armor on trolls when that spell only applies to melee units

Mission 2
Scouts no longer have sundering blade on their unit card they had it on mission 1. (ability where they do 10% more damage to medium armor)
Pirate Captain medallion of courage same thing as previous item says +4 but gives +5 to the stats
found multiple dwarven gears but could not tell what they added after the 3rd ability was unlocked

2nd Achievement did not unlock, I assume it was something to do with the gears
Achievement (what time limit) says "to win the map after letting the HP tick below" doesn't specify what it has to drop below.

Mission 3
last achievement still says unknown did all the side quest

Side Quest
Fighting Dirty completed after killing the left most Brood Mother on the map. Didn't even see the first group closer to my base at first so only one was killed not two.

Mission 4
what is the range on the "anti arrow ability" cause I had one of those bat riders basically on top of the ship and it still said to far. Just used cluster bombs on them mainly

Last achievement still shows unknown as my guys where killing the portal to end the mission

Overall its really fun short campaign that has no game breaking issues. Everything I picked out is more of me just nitpicking small stuff.

Thanks for the feedback, those are some fairly easy fixes, i guess at some point you just get blind to your own mistakes

looking forward to your opinion on the other missions

Edit:
Mission 2: again, easy fixes; the additional gears add additional mana to the plattform, and yes, the second achievement is related to the gears

Mission 3:
there are only 2 achievements, i forgot to remove the 3rd from the quest

side quest problem also easy to fix

Mission 4:
range is at 2000, which is not a lot given the size of the ship, but it should work as a last resort measure, i didn't have issues with it
achievement, same thing as before, forgot to delete it after copying the trigger


Also cranked out a quick update to take care about the above mentioned issues, thank you again

Spoiler: comments

1. Some icons should look passive (i.e. The Immortal Warrior, Distorsion Field, Sword Nastery). Could be done with: Warcraft Image Lab Also icons like the one for Marked for Death should have the autocast borders. Can be done with the mentioned program. Broodmother's Fang should look active.
2. Some units (like the Horseback Archer) have hero glow even though they are normal units and their bodies will remain on the ground a long time (no decay animation).
3. Story seems bland from the start, an exchange of few words, nothing more, no proper introduction.
4. Techtree is pretty much human. Hero abilities are mostly renamed existing ones.
5. Surge of Redemption doesn't say how much damage it does. Similarly, Flare of Augmentation doesn't mention any values aside duration.
6. Terrain seems empty and kind of flat, repetitive.
7. Quite linear gameplay.
8. Not sure yet what the mystery is (campaign's name). Not even getting that there is supposed to be one.
9. Apparently Wilma can remove the closest northern magic wall but not the the eastern one near the troll base. She can but only from the other side, imagine that.
10. Not sure why the game makes dummy save files which aren't needed. Maybe they're cache stuff and the game thinks they're save files.
11. Mammoth genocide.
12. Preferential suicide.
13. Chapter 2 starts without any cinematic mode but a sudden view over an army and some trivial discussion.
14. The loading screens don't have anything to do with the campaign's universe or perhaps I misunderstood that this is still happening in Warcraft?
15. Funny thing is that the barrels are somehow placed behind the avalanche rubble instead of in front.
16. As the other, chapter 2 is one long chore.
17. Apparently Wilma doesn't have an ultimate.
18. It wasn't clear to me where the boarding site/army supply zone. Finally realized it was the empty space with the magic field on. Tried various places like the shipyards, Ragnarok, little base way down to the southeast.
19. Chapter 4 seems much more fun than the previous similar long stroll ones.
20. Some of Ragnarok's spells don't mention any damage values.
21. Not sure if intended but you can Attack Ground through fog of war.
22. Would've liked a way to gain resources to send more waves and maybe some other gameplay variety stuff.

A nice campaign with much emphasis on usual human gameplay mechanics, tad repetitive, without character development and pretty much a filler story, and unfinished but somewhat creative towards the current end.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

I think, you should update the bundle recommended version. It for reforged version i guess?

Indeed, some mappers, perhaps, found a workaround when the custom campaign feature was removed and added Reforged maps to an older version of the game that supported campaign files making.

Campaigns uploaded in 2023 had an issue on hive where they showed the recommended version for them as 1.30, even though they were made with 1.35+. If the authors reupload their campaigns (not as new upload, just delete the campaign and reupload the exact same file in the same submission) it should show the correct version, since Ralle fixed the issue late last year.
The "recommended version" can't be changed by uploaders/authors, it is a website feature of hive.
