Posts from Hive Leader 2: Fall of the Empire

That was terrible, but I'm glad I'm playing now. I have a question about the quest involving the Ents guarding the peasants. How many Ents are needed, and what kind? I didn't quite understand.

15 regular (this is important)

Damn! I bought the enhanced version and am waiting for it to finally complete=(

I finished the map in 198 days and received the Minotaur badge. The map lived up to my expectations; it has a very well-thought-out, multi-layered plot, and interesting, sometimes very funny, quests=) The final video is also well-made and amusing=) I'm just not good at creating videos, especially ones like that=(
closer to the plot: somewhere in the middle of the game, I was more crawling than proudly marching across the lands, as I was suffering heavy losses (Orcs are the only race I can't play without losses). The blue player is quite annoying! It reminded me a lot of the final Elven mission in the Campaign, where I had to kill Nicholas... I was so angry back then that he kept resurrecting, who would have known) And Loran turned out to be even worse for me=) But, this doesn't spoil the impression, on the contrary, it's very rare to encounter problems of this kind. Some of the dialogues are very funny, especially the Ent beggars made me smile=)
In general, a huge thank you to the author! The work is done brilliantly! Now, regarding wishes, errors, etc., I hope I haven't forgotten anything...
1) I developed the hero's Battle Cry skill, hoping to get the "Rally" spell, but it's nowhere to be found=( Instead, there's a useless spell merchant. Orcs don't need him at all.
2) Perhaps, point #1 could have been avoided, BUT the turquoise player (Dwarf) took and captured the Orcish city before me! He got ahead of me=) As a result, I finished the game without any cities at all.
3) During the battle with the Mages, there was a glitch - the central tower was missing during the siege of the castle, and the Archmage was just floating in the air and shooting. (maybe it's not the map's fault)
4) The Witch gave me a quest to bring her a bow and quiver. I ignored it, because my thousand Centaurs with bows were wiping everyone out. Why should I give it to her?
5) Some clarifications should probably be added to some of the quests, because I got confused with the Ents and wasted a lot of time=( Although, maybe I just wasn't paying attention...
6) I still don't understand where I destroyed the fifth Blazing Crystal, although I only found 4 entrances to the Dungeon. Nevertheless, the quest was completed. Was it my inattention again?
7) The orange player was just running around somewhere and delaying the turn after I captured the Mage city. Maybe he should be removed immediately when he loses his city, or is he needed for something?
8) The hero's name is Dreyhar, but in the video, he's Gothai)
9) Some artifacts should be banned on the map, such as the Tome of Power or the Tome of Dark Magic. The only use for them is selling.
I think that's all=) Thanks again for the map)

Thanks for the positive feedback! I'll try to answer your questions: 1) Wrath of the Horde - where else could it be found besides in the Orc city? And even there, it's only available with a certain probability. 2) It's just a main quest. There's no penalty for not completing it. 3) 100% a bug - I haven't learned how to do that yet. 4) The Witch gives almost all the best artifacts, just in case you want to have some fun. You can create a powerful Dark Mage. Or, for example, get the Sar-Elam set. For an Orc, you can choose the Lion set. (But, to be honest, I've never completed her quest either.) 5) Well, I thought that going to the Ents was something all players would do automatically. And the fact that you need to return to them later was, I think, mentioned... 6) Actually, there are seven of them (underground passages). If you read carefully, the Fifth Crystal is destroyed after completing the quest with the rebels in Grayhill Strike. 7) No, he's just sitting in his city and gathering strength. By the way, if you click the magic button in his city (build the Grail initially), he'll be following you around by the end of the game. 8) Yes, there's something like that in one of the videos. I just don't feel like redoing it. 9) What's the point of them if they're only useful for a non-Orc? The same Witch gives them as a reward for the Archer set. Let them be there. Thanks again for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it

Hmm, I downloaded it again. Were there cool shamans in it, or am I mistaken?

Um... What are you talking about? :) I can forget things too. But I didn't change the shamans here... if that's what you mean.

In one of the maps, instead of Orcish warriors, there were shamans or red-haired witches who shot with a cloud of projectiles. I reinstalled the game because the opponents either had champions with 150,000 health or dragons with 3,000 health. I would like to bring those ladies back, but I don't remember which map they were on.

yes, third-party mods from other maps were transferred to this one. Reinstalling is not necessary; simply clear the Maps folder.

The map is called "On the Fly." It's here on the forum.

The map is called "Done in a Hurry". It's available here, on the forum.

Thank you, we'll take a look.

I happened to stumble upon the latest thread about my map, and I noticed that no one seems to be noticing anything strange when clicking on the screenshots in my first post.

They all have low quality, but overall, everything is fine.

The quality suffers due to converting PNG to JPG and increasing the size. In my case, they simply didn't display at all.
Okay, thanks.

How do I complete the mages' quest (dark side)? It seems I'm completely stuck, as no one has asked this question here, but I can't figure out where to get the required slaves (all creature dwellings change even if it's not the main hero who captures them). Another question about the rebel town. After completing the quest with the armor: the town remains blue, and when I try to attack, the dialogue is the same as it was before completing the quest (if I arrive without the armor). The heroes coming out of it are hostile. Is this how it's supposed to be?

Okay, I'll go refresh my memory and figure it out. If I remember correctly, these quests are linked, meaning you need to buy the required creatures in the town that you, as a true dark warrior, must capture. I'll review the script now...

Okay, hmm. What version of the game are you using? If it's 3.0, then everything is clear; it doesn't correctly identify whose town it is. Consequently, you won't be able to capture the town and complete the mages' quest.
If not, I can't say what the problem is, as the script has been tested repeatedly, and there are no errors. If you're playing the light side, after completing the quest, you can approach the neutral town again and buy it for 50,000 gold; if you're playing the dark side, even after successfully completing the quest, the siege of the town will still begin.

Now, regarding the second question about transformations. Another hero should not be transforming them at all.

function replace_hut(hero, hut)
if hero == 'Gottai' then

Well, that's okay anyway; you should already have a rebel town.

There are no errors with the mages' town. Everything comes down to the rebels.
