Re: Scenario Review: LoW 4 - The Elvish Treasury
(1) What difficulty levels and what version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on?
medium 1.5.8
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
1, with 2 castles worth of recalls.
3, with 1 castle.
(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Clear
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Clear
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
Overpulling. One faces quite a lot of units, and there are fairly few villages. The oversize castle means that 2 turns of recruiting is too much.
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
3 Elves are great in forest is a lesson that has been well driven home by now.
(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
As with the previous, make it a bit harder to do all the fighting in the forest.
(8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?
Not lose, but the first time I played through I spent two turns recruiting. I wasn't able to turn that into a much faster finish of the scenario so I was left with too little gold for the next(*). Second play through with only one turn of recalls was a breeze.
(*) It might be possible to turn the extra units into a rapid win by splitting my forces.

(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
One of the objectives is to keep Cleodil alive. Who is Cleodil? Perhaps Huraldur should mention that she's one of the prisoners?
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
None. Possibly, I over-recruited.
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
3.
(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
It needs to be harder (at least on on hard). Add some swamp next to the river, perhaps.
(8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?
No
