Posts from Knight of Thorns

Map Name: "Knight Of The Thorn"
Map Type: Singleplayer arena
Two-level map: no
Map Size: Medium
Map author: Servatius Quintilius

Description (very brief): The population of Bliss is dying from a strange and terrible disease. People are dying by the hundreds. The main carriers of the disease are the undead, who came from the south. Bliss may remain a land of the dead forever. Wenceslaus, one of the generals of the Griffin Empire, was sent to Bliss to cleanse it of the festering necromancers.

Rebalance the game to make it fairer for players! At the very beginning, three Necropolis heroes attack the player's hero, and each of them has twice the level and many more troops:smile38:.

Please, I've done it.

The map is good, but difficult. I played on Heroes and lasted a week and a half, but I didn't even manage to build a town hall. But I did manage to kill one hero, Indrias. I have an idea: why not give the hero the "Unrelenting Force" skill to even out the odds? P.S. Did you use the Orlando model for the main hero? If so, there's a small glitch: the model looks like he's defeated, with his shoulders slumped and his head hanging.

No, it's not Orlando.
I don't know why, I was using a regular Andreas.
That's strange.
Regarding the "relentless force" – I think I've already uploaded the new version – it's in the first post.
I've made it a bit simpler there.

I just meant that this particular ability is pretty weak and won't have a significant impact on the balance, but it can be helpful in the early game for taking out neutral creatures.
But hey, it's your game, you're the boss! ;)
P.S. I just have a mod installed that includes all the heroes, and all the Isabela heroes are normal, except for Orlando, which is why I thought that.

yes, I understand you, I thought you were playing the old version :)
I'll give him that relentless power.

The map is beautiful and interesting; I haven't played it yet, just looked at it in the editor. P.S. It's a pity there are no scripts.

I'm going to ask about some basic scripting techniques. It's a bit embarrassing, as even beginners already have them, but I have 4 maps, and none of them use scripts. I'm planning to release a scripted map next. By the way, Gandalf, maybe you can help me figure it out, preferably in the In-Clan Section?

Of course, I can help.

N'Gasta, you're doing great. Now we're trying to create maps from scratch, as much as possible. Knight of Thorns... I know where this name comes from, it's from Oblivion). We'll show everyone that we're the best, we're trying our best, and we're helping each other!

Yes. I just had a nostalgic moment. I finished Oblivion a couple of years ago, it's a great game! And I always create all my maps from scratch.

Great map! One of the best! I liked the dynamic gameplay, as I was constantly being attacked. Will there be a sequel?

An interesting, but rather challenging scenario. Although the starting Hero has quite good stats, the plot develops too rapidly. Not everyone will be able to withstand the attack of three stronger Heroes at the very beginning, so I recommend this scenario for experienced veterans who are seasoned in battles.

Good map, but it seemed very easy to me. I completed it on Veteran difficulty in 35 days. I focused on developing Defense, Logistics, Light Magic, Leadership, and Machines skills (I didn't even upgrade Ballista to Mentor level instead of Catapult). The main thing is to quickly break through the defenses near the castle and defeat all the Necropolis creatures on their territory or in the desert. And in my home territory, I kept a second hero with a squad to defend. I found Boots of Speed early on, and maybe they were the key to success with the cavalry.
