The map is called siege of elensefar. I have to kill the orc and goblin leader. While it is pretty hard to kill the orc leader I could manage that, but I have no idea how to hit the skelettons. Once it is night they just beat me up really bad. 20140926 13:08:00< zookeeper> well, there's plenty of threads about that scenario on the forums. here's a nice list of links, you ought to be able to find plenty of good ideas from there: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40519 20140926 13:09:56< zookeeper> for most people it seems to be the first scenario which really forces them to properly micromanage unit placement and minimize incoming damage and all that 20140926 13:11:07< zookeeper> basically, keep your units on high defense terrain if possible, avoid attacking the skeletons with melee, and use impact/fire/arcane as much as possible 20140926 13:12:44< bodo_> Thanks for your help. Would you suggest to wait for them to come and stay a little defensive? 20140926 13:13:45< zookeeper> sure, i'd suggest waiting for the first wave of skeletons to come to you. i suppose there's a constant trickle of them so you'll have to attack pretty soon, though 20140926 13:14:31< bodo_> The problem seems to be that the undead lord takes all the villages so he earns more than donald trump while me people are dying in the night. 20140926 13:15:55< zookeeper> well, i'd usually send a few scouts or horsemen to capture villages on the east/west sides of the map, as soon as i've dealt with the orcs 20140926 13:16:33< bodo_> When you say "dealt" do you mean you kill the boss or just let them run onto your defenses? 20140926 13:17:14< zookeeper> after you've killed the boss, and hopefully gotten konrad into the city so you can recruit there (assuming you got gold left for that) 20140926 13:18:03< bodo_> Another thought: I think I've made a mistake by keeping konrad out of the way and not levling him. He's level 1. :( 20140926 13:19:13< zookeeper> i've always played the scenario by trying to get as many orcs as possible to come to me across the river and killing them quick (but without risking much of my units), and then trying to find an opening to rush over the bridge and take out the leader quickly (which will most likely cost you a few units at least) 20140926 13:19:41< zookeeper> well it'd be very useful to have him at lvl2 at that point, but it's not a deal-breaker 20140926 13:19:52< zookeeper> are you playing on the easiest difficulty? 20140926 13:20:10< bodo_> No. Medium unfortunately. ;) 20140926 13:20:28< bodo_> What to do with the thieves that come at round 4? Should I send them to the city? 20140926 13:20:33< zookeeper> ah, well... i guess it can be a bit tricky then, but certainly possible 20140926 13:21:55< zookeeper> i don't know, i've never felt that either option was clearly better. they can be a great distraction if you send them to the city, but if you have them show you the shortcut instead then that can be a good way to get some fast units across to their side. 20140926 13:22:16< zookeeper> of course, if you pick the first one then you're more likely to lose some of them 20140926 13:22:57< bodo_> It's really a tricky map but I enjoy that game even more than I enjoyed panzer general in the 90's. Thanks so far for your help, I'll try it again. 20140926 13:23:50< zookeeper> new players (and especially ones who play on medium) tend to stumble on the scenario a lot since i guess it requires a much more tactical approach than previous ones, but it's definitely possible 20140926 13:25:16< zookeeper> anyways, i gotta be going -> 20140926 13:25:24< bodo_> thanks again 20140926 13:33:49-!- Guest90960 [~quassel@85.124.51.57] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 13:44:00-!- Earlo [~Earlo@213.143.167.6] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 14:19:23-!- Guest90960 is now known as Haudegen 20140926 14:27:43-!- apoi_ [~andi@80-110-40-98.static.surfer.at] has quit [Quit: leaving] 20140926 14:33:00-!- apoi [~andi@80-110-40-98.static.surfer.at] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 14:38:02-!- Johannes13_ [~Johannes@p4FDEECBB.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 14:38:02-!- Johannes13_ [~Johannes@p4FDEECBB.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Changing host] 20140926 14:38:02-!- Johannes13_ [~Johannes@unaffiliated/johannes13] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 14:39:15-!- mattsc [~mattsc@wesnoth/developer/mattsc] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 14:41:46-!- Johannes13__ [~Johannes@p4FDEE8D0.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 20140926 15:57:18-!- ancestral [~ancestral@17.244.183.89] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 16:01:54-!- ancestral_ [~ancestral@17.114.45.53] has joined #wesnoth 20140926 16:01:56-!- ancestral [~ancestral@17.244.183.89] has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 20140926 16:06:16-!- ancestral_ [~ancestral@17.114.45.53] has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 20140926 16:37:34-!- DreadKnight [~DreadKnig@unaffiliated/dreadknight] has quit [Quit: #AncientBeast -
