Thank you for the excellent scenario, but I can't complete it due to a bug: When approaching Ishkebal with Alaric, after the cutscene, I can't do anything because the game thinks my character is still moving, as indicated by the hourglass cursor. I'm playing the Steam version. How can I fix this bug? Sincerely.
P.S. I'm replaying it now (I completed this scenario successfully with the native troops, my review is on page 5), but on the second playthrough, I encountered problems and questions. So... I defeated Ishkebal and immediately had a second battle with a doppelganger. Question for the author... after the words "better put on your cloak, the battle is coming," is the cloak supposed to be equipped automatically? Because it doesn't seem to be. Otherwise, how do you explain this: I fought Ishkebal (screenshot attached) with Necromancer troops (converting all the castles into undead, thus ruining my Sympathy and Retribution skills – I just didn't feel like running to the mentor). So... in the second battle, I'm facing my mirror image with the same Necromancer troops. If I have the cloak equipped, why can't I use Berserk and Subjugation? They are grayed out in the book (screenshot). I don't have any dwarven items on (screenshot). So, the cloak isn't equipped? The hero isn't active between battles (so I can't put on the cloak myself)! Why even have the cloak of Sandro as a requirement? Why shout, "better put on your cloak, the battle is coming"? Doesn't that imply that you'll be fighting undead in the darkness!? Second... if this is a mirror army, why do I have 26 dragons, and my doppelganger has 86? All other troops are roughly equal! But never mind the number! How do I control this? Is the cloak even necessary?
I'll ask the author to respond.P.S. and a request to the authors: give players the ability to save the game themselves! This is a necessity for the player; this isn't a shooter where everything depends on reaction time.
What good is your autosave when I can't even check my inventory? Why is it even needed if you haven't even written the conditions for the final battle in a separate file? Players aren't testers; they shouldn't have to rush into a second battle after a half-hour first battle and then find out that they wasted half an hour in the first battle (and spent 2 hours replaying and choosing different troops) because they didn't know the winning conditions! To avoid these kinds of questions, don't make battles non-stop! (There are already enough scenarios with these "marathons"). What's with some people doing this? In short, I'm giving this scenario a negative rating because the author himself ruined the ending by not anticipating this troop and hero combination!P.P.S. and the last screenshot (since I have a rooster) is my doppelganger, Alaric 2, and his artifacts (if it's a mirror image, he would be wearing the cloak!). And in general, the cloak of Sandro is misleading... it could have been some kind of Necromancer Amulet, and no one would have asked any questions. In short, I still stand by my first "P.S."
And also... any experienced player in the game knows that a mix of 6 castles (2 demons, 1 legion, 1 our castle, and 2 necropolises) can be easily solved by simply using the Necropolis castle as the quickest path to victory
, so that's the most obvious choice for the final race and troops. So, write in the winning conditions: don't fight undead! Third place! Otherwise, the map is good.
