Posts from Hive Leader 2: Fall of the Empire Auto-translated

Version 3.1. The rebel town near the blue area – I couldn’t do anything about it (a dialogue about armor appears, even though the quest is completed). This is quite frustrating because I need to keep a second hero as a decoy. Maybe the town can only be taken after capturing the Orc stronghold? Perhaps I should destroy the 4 stones before returning the armor, so that the quest with them is completed immediately. Regarding the transformation with another hero – I’ll find an old save and check, but as far as I remember, there was a precedent.

Do you approach this city as a good or evil hero? That will help me identify the problem.

I wrote that at the beginning.

How do I complete the mages' quest (Dark side)?

, if that's what you mean. But, in general, it's hard to call him evil: the necromancer was quite polite, unlike the elves.

Well, I wouldn't really call it a problem. I can only say that after completing the rebels' quest (giving them the dwarven gear), the city should be immediately stormed. If you have a console, you can check what appears there during the quest completion.

There (as soon as you bring the artifacts to the rebels) there should be two messages: one - thanks, buddy, blah-blah-blah, and then (apparently, after the hero teleports), the second - the hero decided to storm the city. And then the battle with the city - and that's it.

There was a first message stating that they themselves destroyed the crystal. If you approach with a hero other than the main one, a message appears saying something like, "Tell Dreihar to come closer." If you approach with the main hero, they say that I haven't brought the armor yet. There are no other maps in the folder. I either don't have a console, or I don't know how to use it.

Here is an excerpt from the script; somewhere in it, an error occurs. Now, check if artifact 22 – the Ring of Speed – appears for you.
I have highlighted in red where the error is most likely.

Most likely, the problem is that I am trying to remove creatures from the outpost when there are none there anyway. I will go in and check myself now.

I found the error. The army is being removed from the outposts twice. It's strange that no one noticed it before. I will have to re-upload the map.
Player100 - thank you

I'm sorry, but I'm completely clueless when it comes to the console. The Ring of Speed appears.

It's great that I could help fix the map. Is my game completely broken, or is it just a little off? After replacing the map, should I start a new game, or look for a save file from before this event?

Saving the game won't help; it only saves the scripts of that particular map, which were created while playing on it. I might be wrong, but I doubt it. Your game is doomed if you don't find troops for the mages. Otherwise, it's not very good ;)

Ugh... I hate Loran, but whatever. Can I download the map again?

Yes, I’ve already uploaded everything.

Update to 1.0.4: (link in the first post of the topic):

-Fixed a serious bug with attacking a rebel town while completing quests for the Dark side.
-Most AI players on the map have been given their own unique character; now, the defending player is truly a pacifist, and Loran and the Blue players are even more aggressive. (And so on.)

Finally, I replayed (as the dark faction). Everything works, except for the witch's hut. I decided to check out what artifacts she has. I joined and made five different choices. Nothing but the Strength of the Lion is obtained. The other artifacts simply don't end up in the inventory. I ended up with an incredibly long game. The Lair of Loran is a nerve-wracking task: I killed him, ran to the dungeon, and back (in my opinion, he's too fast), and I had to wait five weeks for the peasants to increase in number, standing under the capital. Overall, thank you for the unconventional map; it was challenging but engaging for me. Also, I don't quite understand the final animation: my orcs heroically crushed this "phoenix" throughout the game, but in the end, the mages won? It's like America winning World War II.

Thank you for the review. I'll try to fix the witch's hut, but I can't promise anything, as I don't have a constant internet connection, and the game refuses to run on Windows 8. In any case, I'm glad you liked the map.

I would like to express my gratitude to Player100 once again; I finally found a silly bug with the sorceress, fixed it, and re-uploaded the map.

Update to 1.0.5:
-A serious bug with the transfer of artifacts to the sorceress has been fixed; now everything works as intended.
-An update is being prepared to improve outdated script functions used in the map.

Sorry, I can’t find enough gold for the guardian from the red tent. 100K isn’t enough for him(( and I only get 4K per month without a town. Is it really necessary to just wait until I have more? And how much does he need? Because I can’t read his full text – only what’s immediately visible, and then it can’t be scrolled down(((

He needs 200k (it says 50 in the message). The text can't be scrolled because of a mod that makes the message window larger, which, by the way, might be in one of the maps.:rolleyes:
