Once again we have talking through fog, however, I noticed that fixing it is on the TODO list.
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
Getting use to attacking at night

(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
I think these should happen...
I liked this scenario, but I think i'd be better if Eldred was more dominating. Besides, there are almost no scenarios in this campaign that require you to resist until the end of turns.
(8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?
Nope.
(9) If you know a bit of the Wesnoth Markup Language - do you think that the WML of this scenario is clear and well commented? If not which part would you like to be documented better?
Fine.
(10) How well did you find the map for the scenario?
A bit blank, but OK.

I think these should happen...
- 1:Place a bunch of camp villages around the Generals
- 2:Give Eldred some Royal guards
- 3:Change the Dialog so Eldred declares the attack
- 4:Change the objective to "Resist until the end of turns"

Re: Scenario 20: Prince of Wesnoth
Normal 1.10.2
Difficulty: 4
Objectives: 100% clear
Storyline: Good, nice background to HTTT
Challenges: Trying to keep everyone alive. There isn't a steady cash-flow, so you're likely going to be bringing in all your vets.
Fun: 7
Changes: none
Reloads: My enchantress got mauled by an archer, 2 mages, and a swordsmen, and then died with like 2 exp till leveling, so that was an obvious reload.

Re: Scenario 20: Prince of Wesnoth
Great Mage (Difficult), 1.10.3. I recruited several L1 and only recalled a few L3. Several unexpected unit losses (one to 4/4 hits against 60%) but still easy enough. Storywise I wonder about all the ambition to save Eldred here, just to make a big feat out of killing him later (Delfador in the prequel to HttT). It is somewhat unsatisfying not being able to kill him here, he was trespassing after all!

Re: Scenario 20: Prince of Wesnoth
Unsatisfying for whom? Kalenz would much rather he did not have to deal with that jerk, but he does. Delfador is stillIt is somewhat unsatisfying not being able to kill him here, he was trespassing after all!
in the King's service, who does not want to start a war with the elfs, but that does not mean killing his own son(he should have, but thats the drama in HttT)

Re: Scenario 20: Prince of Wesnoth
1.14, medium difficulty.
The dialog is quite campy, there is no ambiguity, just Eldred acting as a jerk. Evil people are not so easily to spot in the real world, which makes them much more dangerous.
I had to restart entirely after rushing into the open and getting my troops slaughtered, and a more prudent strategy (keeping in the woods) let me gnaw the enemy troops one by one, but it was then difficult to reach the objectives in time.

Somehow the recall list is changed improperly without explanation. All units had 0 XP or sth.Content Feedback wrote: ↑May 22nd, 2009, 11:59 pm (7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
-
Due to the terrain and the AI it is too easy with recalls.
-
Getting rid of the 80% or nothing scheme (without even telling the player how much the next scenario starting gold default is) would help. While I dont think the plus-40% scheme is good its IMO at least better than the one used in this campaign.
