It's all fun and games until someone loses a lawsuit. Oh, and by the way, sending me private messages won't work. :/ If you must contact me, there's an e-mail address listed on the website in my profile.
1) Medium
2) 2
3) Objectives were clear.
4) Dialog was ok(it has been a while)
5) Giving enough xp to the units I wanted to level
6) 7
7) add dialog to hint that this isn't a really tough scenario... On my first try I summoned 2 full castles of my best and brightest before I saw that he was only recruiting a few skellies/adepts and mostly corpses. Maybe something like
Delfador

Sir I know of Muff Mala, he doesn't have extensive resources. Maybe we can rest some of our tired troops here. This should give us a chance to train some new recruits

Kill Muff Malal. Clear enough.(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Nothing to write home about -- it's not really that clear why Konrad is suddenly fighting the undead.(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Resisting my urge to charge forward and get overrun by walking corpses. Once I was a bit more patient, I didn't have trouble.(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
4 - it's so easy it's a bit boring IMO -- the biggest challenge I had was that I arrived with almost no gold, so I had to sit around building up an army before I could wipe Malal off the map (and sitting around isn't especially interesting).(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)

Kill the enemy leader. Straight forward.(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Clear but not particularly interesting.(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Keeping my lower level units away from the Dark Adepts.(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?

I feel that the scenario is to simple in terms of strategy. The north and middle part of the map see little action once the bats are eliminated from the game.(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
The progression of lower level troops are constantly in danger from Dark Adepts and the large number of zombies. Higher level troops are almost never in any danger. This sort of forces you to use higher level troops rather than allow for army development.
If the map was opened up a little more and the computer would attack from more than one direction then it would be good map.
(1) Levels: medium, easy, hard
(2) Difficulty: 3-5
(3) Objectives: clear
(4) Dialog/storyline: not clear how we travelled overland and ended up at a peninsula/island. Otherwise fine.
(5) Challenges: making any real use of low level troops; dealing with Dark Adepts.
(6) Fun: 4, bit simple for advanced troops, good for building up gold for next scenario by finishing quickly.
(7) Changes: perhaps a few swamp tiles, or general terrain good for undead, close to the enemy castle.

2 - 2
3 - Clear
4 - Agree with the others re: Peninsula thing but doesn't really matter that much to me...
5 - None
6 - 7 or 8. I likes. Its not the most strategy option rich scenario but after the frustration of the Bay of Pigs, er pearls, its nice to kick a little arse. Unlike what some others said, I find it a great place to level up a few recalled Level 1 units, especially horsemen. That makes it hard to choose between this map or the alternative. Besides, ya leave ol' Muff's Peninsula with a sweet amount of cash.
7 - Like I said, I likes. No changes neccesary, IMO.

No particular suggestions. Maybe it's generally a little too easy. I certainly have no incentive other than curiosity to pick Isles of the Damned instead.Dave wrote:(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
On version 0.8.11
Just a short note. A "bug" in the message given by Konrad at the very start of the campaign. He says:
"It looks like there are the undead there! If we can
defeat the undead ...."
should probably be:
"It looks like there are undead there! If we can
defeat the undead ..."
Otherwise nice scenario as far as I can remember.

IF
If you beat Malal you get:
-XP
-Bonus
If you flee like a coward:
-You get to continue with no bonus (AKA 80% of your gold)
If you already have a good unit mix and you think you have enough gold, or won't have enough gold left even with 'bonus on' for beating him, you can run away...
-XP

Note to forum users: You are in a maze of twisty little passages
Re: IF
Not sure whether I received the bonus.. (if it is noticeable beyond, say, checking the amount of gold one gets after completeing a scenario). But, I see. I'd have gotten the guy anyway.Shade wrote:If you beat Malal you get:

1) Difficulty played:
Medium only
2) Difficulty to complete:
2/10 - I can see that this level is basically a 'rest' level where you can gather gold and lvl up your units. Considering the next level its a good idea.
3) Objective clarity:
Completely clear: kill the evil bloke wearing the purple dressing gown. Or run, don't really see any reason to run.
4) Dialog
Nothing to write home about. One thing puzzles me: The map screen that shows your progress (you know, the yellow dots and crossed swords) makes it look like your party has actually made a detour in order to encounter Muff Malal, rather then go straight to the city (Elensfar was it called?)
5) Challenges:
Major challenges - none. Minor challenges - giving weal units (healers, mages) XP without losing them to enemy counterattack.
Oh yeah, those dark adepts (more purple dressing gowns ) could be a serious pain when they hit the right place.
6) Fun:
3/10 - Just on its own merit the level was pretty dull.
7/10 - However within the context (hard level next up) it was very well done. And anyway, for me there is a certain attraction in fighting off hordes of shambling undead by night, then counterattacking and crushing them by day.
7) Changes:
Nothing major, maybe some explanation in the dialog for that detour (see, point #4) A previous post in this thread had a good idea. ( I think the author was called Fortify).
