From Rocks and Blood - Troll Campaign

[Sadaharu]

Concerning Darlasan attacking dwarves at S7, I don't know how to fix it. I tried to set his movement at 0, his max_moves to t0, to give him ai=guardian, but nothing works. And I'm sure the solution is super easy. I need to dig into the wiki

In Ani's Legacy there's a map called Elvish Assassins where you have an Elvish ally, Tiana (side 2), whose mother, Mindra (side 6), will attack any sides other than Tiana.
So here's the bits from the R8_Elvish_Assassins.cfg:

Side 2:

[ai]
leader_aggression=-10
caution=0.5

# Don't initiate attacks against Mindra:
[aspect]
id=attacks
[facet]
invalidate_on_gamestate_change=yes
[filter_own]
side=2
[/filter_own]
[filter_enemy]
side=3
[or]
side=4
[/or]
[or]
side=5
[/or]
[/filter_enemy]
[/facet]
[/aspect]
[/ai]

Side 6:

[side]
no_leader=yes
side=6
{DWT_MINDRA_TEAM}
[ai]
[goal]
[criteria]
id=Tiana
[/criteria]
value=50
name=protect_unit
[/goal]

[goal]
[criteria]
side=1,3,4,5
[/criteria]
value=10
name=target
[/goal]

# Mindra attacks all sides except Tiana's
[aspect]
id=attacks
[facet]
invalidate_on_gamestate_change=yes
[filter_own]
id=Mindra
[/filter_own]
[filter_enemy]
[not]
side=2
[/not]
[/filter_enemy]
[/facet]
[/aspect]
[/ai]
[/side]

Which result in:

For the duration of this battle, Mindra will kill everything in her path, except for her daughter Tiana and Tiana's troops.

(I played that scenario two weeks ago on BfW 1.16 and it plays out as intended.

My french is everywhere it means, in french, people from the same specie. A dwarf is a congener of all dwarves. I replaced this word as it doesn't means at all the same thing in english ^^

Well, the history of English means that 90% of it is effectively a mix of Anglo-Saxon, Latin and French in about equal parts but since then it's diverged again (in passing, I have to say that you mean ‘species’, not ‘specie’) so it's one of the trickiest pairs of languages to tell apart: you really don't know where one begins and the other ends.

for fun:

^I bolded all such words I could find at a quick glance

On which scenario did you stopped ?

Thanks for your feedback and replays, if you ever finish this campaign one day would be happy to read you! You helped me a lot with your reviews!

Spoiler:

The eye creature says that these beings are actual demons. But they are not supposed to be really demons (in a biblical/religious way). They are more beings/magical entities from another dimension brought by… something that you discover later in the campaign. I should improve this, because, as I said, this designation is incorrect.
Anyway ! Thanks again !

On Moubarak.

Spoiler:

And yes, I know that they are demons only in the sense of Wesnoth.

And thanks.

Just a heads-up that this campaign's image still isn't displaying properly in the add-on manager: the console message printed is:

Code: Select all

20231004 23:21:42 error display: could not open image 'data/add-ons/From_Rocks_And_Blood/images/units/trolls/godug.png'

images in the add-ons directory aren't available to the add-ons manager; see the documentation of PblWML: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/PblWML#icon.
You could try using a DataURI for it instead: https://wiki.wesnoth.org/DataURI

Long time I didn't answered neither updated

Just a heads-up that this campaign's image still isn't displaying properly in the add-on manager: the console message printed is:

I never realized other players never saw an icon for FRaB in the addon-manager. Thanks ! It's corrected.

I think you want id=Firag

Thanks ! Corrected !

It seems odd that a Troll Leader isn't, you know, a LEADER

Uhm... Yes ! Will fix this I will check how it can impact the campaign

S07 - well, that's just zero fun. First a couple yetis, which can kill almost any unit when they hit twice, as they almost always do. Then a million dwarves which show up right next to me? Thanks, but I'm done.

Sooo... I understand. Some players told me same. To improve this, I removed one yeti in Normal difficulty. I will probably give less HP to one of the two yetis in Hard difficulty. I will also soon decrease the number of dwarves in both difficulties. I really love the ambush concept, but I probably went too far.

For the duration of this battle, Mindra will kill everything in her path, except for her daughter Tiana and Tiana's troops.

Thanks for your help ! I managed to make Darlasan unreachable, but I saved this code because I find myself oftenly blocked by this simple situation.

Which is as it should, but what I mean is they aren't listed as casualties for those scenarios. I lost one unit to a troll Grunserker in combat and that was noted; in that same scenario I lost one or two more units to cannon fire and those weren't added to the list of casualties filed under ‘statistics’.

Sadaharu, do you know how could I add to the casualties list the units that dies because of events ? Digging into the wiki but I cannot find answers. Maybe I'm not seraching in the good way. And, thanks again, really, for all the review you gave me. It helped me a LOT

[white_haired_uncle]

Do you use [kill]? If so, do you use fire_event=yes?

Maybe there are internal die events that need to be fired to update the casualty list for you. Just a guess.

You right, I playtested and it was only that. I'm fixing it. Thanks !
