Posts from Moon Sugar

Map Name: "The Moon Sugar" Map Type: Singleplayer arena Two-level map: no Number of players: 2 Map size: Medium Map author: Servatius Quintilius Map Description: Every day, the population in Black Marsh is dying. Valentine, the lord of Black Marsh, knows that the poison is coming from the south, and in the south is the province of Elsweyr. Everyone knows that in Elsweyr they mine the drug Moon Sugar and make an even more potent one - Skooma. The expansion of the Holy Church of Isabel to the east has affected production, increasing it fivefold! People are dying, and the cultists are raking in gold! Valentine sets out for Elsweyr to drive out the Isabel-Biary governors and burn everything down! ********* purum The Moon Sugar.zip

Excellent map in every way: brilliant plot, remarkable design, opportunities for development, and a true Nival spirit:smile49:. Well done! Self-improvement is evident.

Thanks, I wanted to make the game more challenging by placing level 3 monsters to guard the mines (I mean the most basic ones – the mine and the lumber mill), because it's time to put an end to this easy mode – a couple of shots, a knife strike, and the mine is yours...

I agree)) There's no need to spoil the player:smile51: They should face opponents more often:smile16: You could even make it more challenging)) But the new features on the map are excellent:smile02:

Yeah, I thought they would come to me by land, but these paratroopers landed in groups of three on my shore – well, I drove them away, and then the reds (that is, us) finally entered their city :)
And what is this "Nival's spirit"?

The Nival spirit? Well, I must say that all of Nival Interactive's games have some nuances that distinguish this company. Fresh ideas, an unconventional approach. In general, this map was inspired by the scenario maps of Nival Interactive:smile14:

I just finished playing the map and have two questions:
Why does the hero make a scream of horror?
You just need to capture the town. Is that all?
In my opinion, the map is too easy. When I made maps for Heroes of Might and Magic III, I ended up with something similar.
But the map is excellent, although there are some passages between the trees.
I played on Veteran difficulty. Respect to the author.

Try playing on Hero difficulty; then, I think everything will seem fine. Apply this approach to each map, and the campaign in Tribes of the East will also seem easy, as it can be completed on the first try.

Why would a hero scream in terror?

So they can scream terribly :D

P.S. We'll slightly edit the map now.
We'll give that outpost to the blue player, remove some obstacles there so it's more fun for you...
As they say, all power belongs to the people :D

Added after 33 minutes
The map has been slightly improved, the link has been fixed.

And he removed the ships! That is, he destroyed one obstacle, but blocked the enemy's fleet:smile42: Well, maybe it's even more interesting this way:smile14:

And now we'll turn the ship around.

Turned it around, that's all.

Woohoo, a little training for this red-bellied little runt, Alaric, and this fascist finally learned how to run!!!

Congratulations!!! It seems everything is ready for Alaric's rise? We can open the thread.
I'm currently playing through Moon Sugar on a hero! Damn, the Stronghold guarded the Ore Mine, it was tough to get through;)
Continuing...
I withstood the terrible siege of the city by the attacking army. Hero Lorenzo, level 12, with 6 archers, 18 executioners, 25 inquisitors, 56 swordsmen, 46 royal griffins, and 60 archers. The defending army has no dragons, 4 knights, 30 vampires, 24 ghosts, 18 liches, 120 mummies, and 280 archers. When the remnants of his army launched an attack, I had 30 mummies and 55 skeleton archers left, and he had 44 swordsmen, 14 paladins, and 23 inquisitors. He suddenly stopped and retreated))) In rhyme, by the way :D
Continuing...

Looks like everything is ready for Alaric's rise? Can we start the thread?

I'll be working on something other than Alaric, but the animations will feature him :D
P.S. Technically, we've made a huge leap forward :)
Okay, this thread is actually about "Lunar Sugar," so all questions and suggestions should be sent via private message.

I completed it a second time, and it's much more interesting to play as a hero! Time: 2 months, 2 weeks, 7 days. Valentine was level 21. At the end, my opponent and I swapped castles.

See, it’s always more interesting to play as a Hero! I think this is the best variation. I’ll upload my map soon:smile01:
