Orcnet: decent map for a single player, although that timer is kinda long it would be great if you have a trigger that will set the timer off and start the undead fight for those who finish all of the quests quickly and another is the cinematic scene, make a esc trigger that will skip those cinematics else map approved

Too little screenshots to download it(

 

[Doma]

I'll take some when I have time and update the description, if it would be convienient.

 

[Radicool]

Here's some tips:

• You know you can add more "tiles" to your map? Advanced - Modify Tilesets. I think your map needs some more variations of grass, or maybe a nice stone path, or maybe some rocky tiles for the ogres or something. Anyway, you can experiment.

• You need to make the castle a little more welcoming. I don't know how else to word it lol. The fact thats its very large (so it has many unimportant areas which are never explored and lots of boring walking) and theres little vision (so navigation is difficult and the map seems empty and more lonely). Maybe if you just give all the players a small amount of vision of the shops and fountains, it would be a little nicer. Also, maybe some scout towers or something to give vision of key areas. It depends if your trying to make the game scary or not if you should add vision though. If you are trying to make it scary, don't go overboard with vision.

• You can also try to add unique areas to the castle. Theres a tonne of houses built in lines. And its the same all over the place. Just houses. Its a bit repetitive. Maybe add a park. A fountain in the middle, a path, pot plants, lanterns and tidy trees. You could add a market area or something too. It would be cool if the item shops were in the markets. Make each area of the castle look a little different and interesting. Of course, theres going to be lots of houses, but the whole thing doesnt have to be loaded with them.

I can't comment too much on gameplay though, I didnt play it for long enough. Good luck with your map.

 

[Doma]

Good points, I'll add a marketplace when I have the time. Terrain improvements I've been trying to when and where I can!

Lol, just finished the game. Elbury died like 2 second before the last evil boss died. I got defeat screen and then suddendly cinematic appeared that i won xD

Then dead Elbury was chatting with the knight for a moment and then instead of defeat i was victorious.

Oh xD I'll have to try and fix that, shouldn't be too hard. Thanks for the information.

*Edit*

Fixed! Largish update too.

 

[Doma]

I've made a whole bunch of improvements & additions to this map, however if you find any bugs just let me know and I'll fix them right away.

A cute, little map this is.

Suggestions & Bugs:
Mark completed quests as completed - The Traitor Mayor didn't update.
Check triggers that run text messages from bosses - I lured the Mayor away from his seat, killed him, walked onwards to the seat and then his greeting message triggered.
Add some boss abilities.
Let players choose a fourth hero skill and more items.

For inspiration:
Watch the Hardhome battle from game of thrones.
Play the first mission of the Dwarven Campaign (hosted here on hive).

Thanks for the feedback! I've been thinking of what skill he could have for a fourth hero skill, I made a star-fallesque type one but that seemed quite overpowered in the final fight so I dropped it, I was trying to think of something flavourful yet not too broken. Perhaps he could summon a champion knight or something.

Do you have any pointers for getting the quests to update? I can't seem to ever find a way to complete them. I'm not an expert at triggers.
*edit* Actually think I've finally figured out quest completion, it wasn't so tricky.

Sorry about the greeting message, I'll have it trigger when the mayor leaves his pedestal rather than when the player approaches next update.

Waay back this was meant to be the first map of a campaign so the items are a bit limited, I'll add a few more consumables like scroll of the beast, potion of invulnerabilty etc.

I was having a bit of trouble getting the boss to cast spells correctly but I'll try to read up on how to teach him and make some interesting spells for him too.

Thanks again!

*edit* New update fixing these things!

-music should be played as music and not sound
-Elbury is spamming the "undead risen ghastly" and "these fiends will lead us to..." messages
-Monk's icon has a beard while the model does not. I guess the Chaplain's icon would suit better
-units selected during cinematic mode
-the man who took arms was named Elbury in the transmission
-the quest with the mayor is not optional as the player can't get inside the base if not finishing that quest first; also it is not marked as finished in the log
-"More playthings for Untar!" after he has been dead for at least 30 seconds
-Rescue Captured Soldiers doesn't appear as a quest in the log; also it's north-west and south-east not north and west
-I think a civillian turned into two Militia troops in the eastern part of the town
-what would stop the lich from bringing down towers too if it was so easy to crumble the gates?
-pretty difficult end game

3/5.

That's odd, several of those things should be impossible as I'd fixed them in the past. For example now the 'Playthings for Untar' message can only play if Untar enters a region. Maybe I uploaded a past version by accident, I'll have a look.

*edit*

I believe several fixes were lost somewhere between versions which I've reinstated. Namely the message spam at the start.

The chaplain icon is the one I am using, which has a beard. I could use a priest one but it's elvish. Good spot on the villager being called Elbury though, I don't know how I hadn't seen that.

As for units selected in cinematics, I don't seem to be able to fix this. (If anyone has a solution feel free to message, I've tried for a long time but didnt really think it was that major of a problem to spend hours on.) I have the cinematic 'Disable user control for all players' only it doesn't seem to fix the issue.

The quest should be completed after killing Gedric, I've been unable to replicate a situation in which it does not complete. Perhaps this was in the old version I uploaded. I've moved it over to essential quests now though!

I've also been unable to replicate Untar playing the message after his death, the only trigger that prints that message requires him to be alive so I'm stumped as to how that could've happened. I've added a further trigger that makes absolutely sure that trigger is disabled once the Ogre dies.

I've made rescuing the captured townsfolk a quest. Also fixed the North and West message.

RE: the end game being difficult, it is intended to be so! Oh and the lich's fortification demolition spell has a 24 hour cooldown.

Thank you for the feedback! Helped me to find those pesky bugs.

You also need to put the action "clear selection for player". I think it's in the Selection section of the Actions.

The chaplain icon is the one I am using

Hmm... you're right. My memory didn't serve me well. I guess, you could find a custom made icon in the Icons forum and/or search for one somewhere else. The last thing to do is edit/create one yourself, Of course, that icon doesn't matter. Does not affect the gameplay at all. The problem would've been if there were other units with the same icon.

Second Human Book of Arkain - Demo
There's a neat Chaplain icon in this campaign. Ask the author for it.

Oh nice! I've added that to all the cinematics!

I'll see to getting a cleric icon soon!

Finally beat it!
Hope Aryss rest in peace.


Bugs:
Those random lightning lit the town floor for eternity.
Better destroy the lightning effect right after they appear.

Thanks for the spot, will look to getting that fixed!

I think that version had Aryss spawn on map initialization out in the open? A not so secret character in 2.2 ha.

when i download the file, it's a W3X file, and i need it to be a W3N file?

 

[Doma]

Hmm that's odd I'll have a look.

Edit: W3X Means it's a Frozen Throne map doesn't it? W3N designates it as a campaign file. I suppose whilst it's tagged as "campaign" in that it's a story driven singleplayer map, it's actually a regular scenario TFT map.

If this is causing misunderstanding I can untag it as a campaign, though if you just put it in the scenario folder afaik it should work fine!

 

[Tanni]

Fun map, a bit difficult at times though. I suggest using QWER keys for Elbury's abilities, so that they're much more accessible. His first ability has M as the hotkey, which is also the hotkey for the Move button. Nice DDLC reference btw

That's a good idea, I've just been basing it off spell names like Warcraft III does but I'll change it to that since it makes more sense, considering how crucial micro is in this map.

Ahaha thank-you, I played it recently whilst creating the new update so thought it'd be a fun easter egg. New update coming soon with a few more bug splats and typo corrections.

Done playing and i quite say it was pretty terrific!

but in all seriousness it was awesome you know?! but err i do have a trouble for time

can you put at least 25 minutes and i do love the exile one but there will be more of this scenario? also there will be more EXILES? i want more

i rate this 10/10

because of the epilogue however the epilogue is about text and i get it but can make the epilogue with cinematics? oh well nvm

 

[OblivionDeadra]

and what is the new secret character hmm?

and damm the doki doki literature club reference why though

I'm glad you like it!

The time is something that I want to improve, I'd like to give people more time but I also find often people say there's waiting if they finish early. I'll try and create a trigger that lets you finish early (let the Undead arrive when you're ready) so that you have a bit more breathing room.

As for more exiles / secret characters I think the current amount is reasonable and it may be a bit difficult to add more whilst still keeping them fairly interesting, but I may or may not create a new map in future that could have more / continue on from this one. If I do make another map it may be a second mission following on from this one, but there are a few things I'd like to finish off (like being able to skip cutscenes) before I'd consider starting another.

and what is the new secret character hmm?

and damm the doki doki literature club reference why though

I'll PM you the last secret character... I have a feeling I know which one it was since it's the hardest to find in-game.

And ahaha I just threw that in because I'd played the game recently and it seemed like interesting way to 'punish/reward' anyone who was nosey enough to reveal the map as it's in-keeping with that game's lore that she hops around game files on your computer.

 

[OblivionDeadra]

2nd try

And wow thanks for the info and my god
that's was cool though

 

[Doma]

I've added a skip timer function after the 'Knight Eric' cinematic. The timer was extended by 3 minutes because of this, now you can take a bit more time to explore and not feel rushed, but not have to wait around too long if you finish early.

If anyone finds any bugs relating to this new update please let me know, I've tested it a few times and it seems to be working correctly but I know how they can sneak through.

*Edit 17/01/2018*

Quite a big update. Added flavour text through items in inventory to every unit in the game. Fixed several bugs / typos. Please let me know if you find any typos as ALOT of text was added.

 

[OblivionDeadra]

Heya i have a question though

are you going to plan making a campaign out of it or just making fun scenario map

 

[Doma]

Heya i have a question though

Hey x)

I'm open to the idea of making a campaign but I'm not sure if it'll end up happening or not yet. It'd be ALOT of work and I'm looking for a job currently and don't imagine I'll have the time to work on it much once I get one.

Hopefully I can at least do a second map at some stage, I'd definitely want any other campaign map / sequel to have as much if not more quality than this one.

If you liked the map and you haven't already there was a big update since last night, there's now a bunch of stuff to read about the in-game story located in every unit's inventory, so even if you don't feel like playing it through again you can hop in, cheat vision of the map and read the text if you're eager for more.

Have a good day!

*Edit 21/01/2018*

Fairly big update uploaded today, the boss fights have more indepth mechanics now and are more interactive. Typo fixes, cinematic tweaks, trigger improvements etc. etc. As always please let me know if you find any bugs.

 

[Oraien]

Very nice map, well made though there are three things that I'd like to complain about:
1) cinematics can't be skipped, which is really annoying especially if I mess up some part after a long cinematic and I have to watch it all over again...
2) the final battle was too difficult, I dunno why but even without losing a single unit the whole time and full upgrades, their units can withstand much more than mine and their units deal much more damage than mine, so the battle isn't really about skillfully manevouring your units, but just luck, whether they focus the right ones or not :\
3) why would you ever give every single unit an item? it makes them to be all 'special' and not a group, thus if I control the monks and want to use Burst of Light, it forces me to select every single one and use the spell instead of just making them use the spell and the one available and close will cast it (also, upon revival they lose the item)

but overall nice map (also nice secret )

Both 1 and 2 I'm looking into, balance has always rested on a knife edge between too difficult and too easy with this map so sometimes its easy for it to swing one way or the other. I do want the map to be hard but not so much that it's frustrating. I'll tweak the numbers a bit because it did seem to be on the difficult side last time I played it...

As for the cinematics, I've wanted to make them skippable for a while but it seems like many hours of work, especially since different variants of cinematics exist depending on if the timer has been skipped, Gedric slain etc. I may still do it eventually though. Sorry it was a source of annoyance, I can totally understand as I've had to playtest this map a hundred times and rewatching the cinematics gets extremely dull aha. That's why I put in the line about 'save often' in the description to minimise inconvinience until a skip function can be added.

When putting in the lore items it did annoy me that it forces you to only "select" one at a time, however it only really seemed a problem for the Monk micro so I thought I'd leave it in (as I really like the lore items and it took a long time to write them all). As for them losing the items upon death it was sadly nessecary to make it this way, at least until someone can tell me a better way of doing it. The trigger that removed items upon decay rather than death would cause some units to drop items anyway eventually, leaving dozens of items lying around... I'm not quite sure why since in other instances it worked as intended. Of course it removing on death rather than decay causes the inventory to be stripped if they're resurrected, but as you only ressurect a limited number of troops per game based on the spell cd it seemed like a fairly minor issue.

Anyway thank you for playing and for reviewing too (alot of the reviews are very out of date so I've been keen for new ones)! I'll balance the difficulty a bit now since I agree it's probably a bit punishing at the moment, at least in the end fight where its especially difficult to pull back injured troops in any efficient manner.

Have a good day!

Edit: Updated just now, nerfed the final army plus improved the terrain in some places.

 

[Walichrage]

About lore items- Did you try to put "lore info" in to skill? For example, Create critical strike skill with 0% chance and put "lore info" into description of skill. It seems solving problems mentions above.

That's actually a really good idea for allied troops, I can leave them in items for enemy troops but they wouldn't be a problem selection-wise. Thank you Dr Balance!

I'll look at getting that implemented soon.

Well, maybe I messed up something when defending, the rest of the enemies seemed fine for a little bit of micro to get get rid of, but the final battle, I'll try to do it once more ^^

About the items, I don't know how to make it work better :\

Woah woah woah! No no no no, this will work only if all the lore of every single unit of the same type is the same, but if they differ then it will make it even worse

Yeah I nerfed the final army mostly since I agree it was a bit overtuned, especially after Balanesh got a strong death pact effect post-reincarnation in a recent patch. The army's 'footsoldiers' as a whole should now pump out a bit less damage leaving people a bit more room for error.

The whole spell thing causing issues for multiple lore excerpts occurred to me also, I think I might just give a unique spellbook menu (that contains both lore excerpts) type thing to only the Monks instead of items... since they're the only unit likely to run into problems with the whole control group thing for burst of light. I considered making it a "lore menu" for every unit instead of items but I don't fancy the task of copy-pasting all that text.

Also looking to add an opt-in hard-mode that increases the HP and upgrades of the enemy for those anyone who wanted an extra difficulty. Might take a little while for those things to be added though since I'll probably also have to add an extended epilogue "reward" for anyone who beat it.

 

[Nemesis_]

Had played the previous updates, and I must say this is a good improvement from the previous ones. Couple things to point out though:
1) There is a bug whereby if you open the gates when the timer ends, the two cutscenes will be played together, resulting in you not being able to control your units and also Gedric's units being your allies.
2) Too many things to do in such a short time,(likely intended?) you may want to revise the timing when the undead attack

A solid map for about 30mins of fun though, 4/5

Hello!

Thank you very much for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

1) Oh that's strange, I thought I had made it so it switched off the timer expiration cinematics if you skipped but apparently not. I've fixed that and it'll be added in to the next update.

2) Yeah I'm going to add another five minutes or so in the next update, I agree it's very tight to fit everything in and although I want there to be pressure you shouldn't be punished for exploring. Not to mention I've added a hard-mode that increases the enemy's upgrades and maximum health, which will really mean you need more time.

The only thing delaying the update now is the "reward" for winning hardmode. I've been writing a short story and anyone who beats hardmode can printscreen the URL and read as a reward. I might program a new cutscene as well since not everyone is into reading... maybe as a reward for getting max bonus points AND beating hardmode. It's all a bit up in the air.

Thanks again!

Hard mode added and the game rebalanced slightly. Be warned Hard Mode is very difficult to complete and will require creative pulls and unit / ability management.

New version with slightly improved terrain. Added a new hamlet to the Ogre zone, including a brand new elite Ogre and farmstead. The Ogre has a new artifact for those finding themselves short of shiny objects (and coin). In honour of Easter there are some easter egg units you can aquire there if you have eagle eyes. As always let me know if you have any feedback or find any bugs!

Hopefully! Definitely better than the first build aha, all you had to do was kill the monsters, gather all the villagers and defend against a pitlord.

Enjoy if you play it again! Hopefully no bugs snuck through.

Do you mean the easter egg mentioned in the update notes? It was a little thing but if you try the ressurrect spell near the newly added 'Chef' ogre you can bring his unfortunate victims back to life, who tell a small tale about how they met their grisly demise.

Also have been writing a short story that goes into more detail about what happens at the end of the map, have only completed the first part of that but I've uploaded it online for you to have a look at if you're interested!

The Mustering of Lorne Mire: Epilogue Part 1

May have typos though I've not combed it fully yet aha, bit busy lately. Hoping to have a few more parts done in the next few months that focus on each of the secret characters in turn and the benefits they bring to the garisson (the story assumes the player wins with all of them left alive).

Edit (18/08/18): Next update! The blacksmith provides some new unique bonuses / events.

New update, apologies for anyone who downloaded a bugged version of the map where the timer refused to expire. There's new music, new balance, new terrain, cleaner triggers etc. Plus I've updated the screenshots on this page! Please let me know if you encounter a bug, the timer bug was pretty game-breaking if people forgot there was a skip function.
