Ursud mentions the Troll Forge, but isn't the Troll Forge a very secret secret? As in, Modome and Nemee don't even know what it is? (Not to mention, why is it relevant that the Troll Forge was destroyed?)

Update 1.1.7 has been released!

This update introduces:

Spoiler:

- text fixes suggested in the posts above by Konrad2
- in The Last Wish scenario, I made a fix to allow Aom to stay by the main characters when solving Jinn riddles

Ursud mentions the Troll Forge, but isn't the Troll Forge a very secret secret? As in, Modome and Nemee don't even know what it is? (Not to mention, why is it relevant that the Troll Forge was destroyed?)

Spoiler:

Yes, you are right, Trolls Forge is the absolute secret of King Jarop Brown Skin. Through this little mention of the destruction of Trolls Forge, I wanted to explain why Jenafr was able to use this Lamp at all in The Wish scenario.

At the beginning of the campaign, there is a scene shown when Farud Flame Hand seals the lamp by binding his life to it. This scene explains why the King decided to give the lamp to Jenafr in the name of peace at all - because he knew it wouldn't work in enemy hands.

Connecting the lamp to the Troll Shaman also explains why Irfa Sand, the robber, could not use it.

The destruction of Trolls Forge and thus Farud's death occurs around the time of the start of the battle with the robber boss from Under the Black Stars and the other bandits in the At the Last Moment scenario and into The Wish scenario, but it probably happened somewhere in the pre-The Wish scenario. The destruction of Trolls Forge occurs around this time.

I would like to someday add a scenario showing the destruction of Trolls Forge and Farud's death. I think this is a very important plot moment to show players. That's why I added this note to Ursud's statement, because I wanted to somehow convey this to the players: that the lamp worked in Jenafr's hands not by pure coincidence but by a sequence of events. If I create this scenario, it will be an excending plot scenario before The Wish.

As I wrote at the beginning, you are right, and that note about Trolls Forge in Ursud's statement at the end of Tongues of Flame I changed in v1.1.7 because I explained it already in this post.

I like the campaign, especially as it is very story driven and the player gets good into the game, as you take yourself time and make a real intro.
However you should work over the first message of the campaign - it left me confused. I have to say that your campaign has a fundamental weakness.

It is story driven, but also hard. Which makes it very frustrating. You should add an easier difficulty for beginners. Usually I play iron-man mode and try to get through a campaign and usually I can do it. It seemed impossible in the first campaign and you are kind of overrun and have to hold out for a long time. Its doable, but frustrating and probably will lead to load save scumming. Just my opinion, maybe I just had bad luck.

Maybe one thing, I've seen a mistake that some of the newer content mod creators make recently. Usually the rank (inside the the main.cfg) should be lower than the rank of the mainline campaigns. At the moment your campaign is in the middle of nowhere between the custom campaigns. It could that it is hard to find for players.

Regarding the flood traps, it would make more sense to change the map, and then to kill enemy units. (Preferably of course if the flood was animated hex by hex, but that's 'just' aesthetics.)
+ Fire Wraiths on 7,10 or 13,10 are not killed when the trap is triggered.

There seems to be no replay for the scenario.

It seems I've finally completed my task.

Update 1.1.8 has been released!

It includes:

Spoiler:

- text fixes by Konrad2
- the title The World After displays on the last Story screen before the epilogue scenario
- the trap in The Last Wish scenario now also kills Fire Wraiths standing at 7,10 or 13,10, but not the activating player unit. Also, the map first change and then the units are killed

It seems I've finally completed my task.

It can be said that this is a milestone update because Konrad2 has completed a huge task - proofreading for Dream in the Sand!

This is a huge achievement because the campaign contains a lot of text, so I want to thank you again, Konrad2, for your help. You really helped to improve the campaign so that other players have even more enjoyment playing it

There seems to be no replay for the scenario.

I don't understand, because to me it saves the replay of this scenario normaly, also after the turn you uploaded in the file, it also saves the replay for me

(Preferably of course if the flood was animated hex by hex, but that's 'just' aesthetics.)

Maybe later for now I improved this flood system

It is story driven, but also hard. Which makes it very frustrating. You should add an easier difficulty for beginners. Usually I play iron-man mode and try to get through a campaign and usually I can do it. It seemed impossible in the first campaign and you are kind of overrun and have to hold out for a long time. Its doable, but frustrating and probably will lead to load save scumming. Just my opinion, maybe I just had bad luck.

Thanks for your opinion, however, for now, I don't plan to add a difficulty level for beginners

I don't know if you know, but the first combat scenario, depending on whether you take - Challenging, Difficult or Nightmare varies quite a bit.

- the amount of initial gold.
- on Challenging, the player gets one lv2 Stalwart unit instead of a lv1 Guardsman, also, in Dunefolk waves, there are no Skirmishers units, and lv2 enemies do not appear
- on Difficult one lv2 enemy unit appears among attackers, and on Nightmare two lv2 enemy units appear
- on Nightmare mode, there is also an additional Miner unit to evacuate

I don't want to go into further details, as I would have to look more closely at the scenario and recall all the differences between the difficulty levels, but they are certainly different.

In addition, the campaign was specifically constructed for advanced players and is labeled as Expert, and the Nightmare level is.... simply a nightmare.

However, maybe in the future I can also make a version for novices.

I don't understand, because to me it saves the replay of this scenario normaly, also after the turn you uploaded in the file, it also saves the replay for me

Luckily just an oversight of mine, there is indeed a replay.
