Posts from Dragon Utopia

1. I downloaded version 3, defeated the dragons (not all of them, but the quest was completed, and a new objective appeared: kill the companion), but he is still an ally and runs around.

2. Where is the promised buff for the companion? Difficulty: Hero, first playthrough (i.e., unfamiliar map). The balance of power turns out to be as follows:


The Daedra will easily defeat the Orc.

The AI hasn't been enhanced; that's beyond my capabilities ;) It's given an advantage at the start: more troops, more buildings in the city (you can see that the hero immediately receives a Castle and a Capitol, but that's not all), more experience, and better stats for the hero.
At what point in the game are you playing? It seems to me that the map can be completed faster. It's clear that the longer the game goes on, the greater the human's advantage over the computer ;)
The error is appearing again, that's not good... I'll continue testing.

Overall, it's an interesting map, thank you!)))

3 months, 3 weeks, 5 days.

You can try to complete it faster... but why rush through Europe if you're playing the map for the first time? It's not a speedrunning tournament! I want to play, not finish it in a month or two.

You can try allowing the computer to build its last-tier creatures - that should significantly strengthen it.

Okay. Maybe I'll upgrade my computer then...
Test. The test showed that it's possible to play as the first player against the AI, but not as the second. The region doesn't unlock, the brown creature doesn't die, and the first player remains in an alliance. Strange, considering that the scripts are symmetrical... That's the situation.

Although, wait... I need to try with another faction later... Necropolis is quite overpowered, plus the hero Deirdra, along with the ring and a partial Necromancer set (ring + amulet), applies -5 luck and -3 defense.

I'm completely clueless about scripts, so I probably can't help much with that.

It's strange that others didn't have this issue – I can't access the staircase. I thought maybe I needed to know a magic word – "abracadabra." I searched for a quest related to it, both on my territory and the enemy's. Dead end.
The cursor won't target the staircase.

Oh, I ended up with dragons. I don't understand why there isn't a normal staircase there (I moved to a prohibited sign). You can reach the "enemy dragons" through astral gates. Also, the portal is irrelevant if you have the "Portal to the City" spell.
I completed the map, playing against the computer on veteran difficulty (very easy): I completed the dragon quests, and the computer became the enemy – everything worked. Thank you.

I killed the dragons, and my friend isn't an enemy, just like that. What the heck is going on – is this a bug?

He killed the dragons, and his friend isn't an enemy, just like that. What the heck, is this a bug?

The issue is described above. For now, it's best to play as the first player (green) until the updated version is released, as this bug doesn't occur then.

Which was the first and which was the last set? Did you eliminate all the dragons, even those that only vaguely resembled dragon faces?

NİKOLAY, I didn't keep track of this, so I can only guess. I killed the dragons near the Sylvan Tree first; I think they were black. The last ones were near the ridge separating the areas of different players. They seemed to be green. I didn't kill all of them, but I killed 1-2 groups more than the minimum required.

Basically, I need to rewrite the scripts completely because it suddenly turned out that one function (trigger) doesn't work correctly with the quests of the second player (and only the second one; it works fine with the first player). This means that many approaches will have to be revised... I hope to release the fix tomorrow or the day after. I will also include a few more fixes there.

we’ll be waiting then.

Version 4 of the map is available in the first post.
Changes in version 4:

• Fixed a bug that left the opponent allied after killing dragons when playing as the second player.
• Removed the "portal to town" and "astral gate" spells.
• Removed creature weeks.

If everything goes well, in the next version I will work on the map's visualization, and improve the texts and everything else as much as possible. Thank you to everyone who plays the map and provides feedback; it's very helpful ;)

The map is great! :smile20: It was already good in that contest, and now it's even better. The changes are pleasing, especially from the perspective of a computer player. To make things even more challenging for the human player, you could hide the allied fog of war, but it's good as it is. Just one question: what's with the legion of crystal dragons near the "ally" city? They don't block anything; you just have to go around them.
In the early stages, I neglected logistics, so I didn't get to explore the snowy island much, but I did explore the darkness, and I found a tome there. As soon as I killed all the required dragons, I immediately went to war against the AI before it came to me. I had to replay it at least 10 times. The AI didn't want to fight the dragons, even though it had every chance.
The map's terrain is pleasantly familiar. The artistic execution of the floating island and the overall concept deserve special attention.
Thank you for the map! Ment, keep creating!
I remember everything about "Alive and Kicking 2" and the elven campaign. You can't cover it up with toothpaste.;)

I played the new version and didn't understand anything. My friend (orange) becomes an enemy after completing the quests, but the game ends after he is killed. And the computer (brown) flashed in the upper corner and disappeared. In the lower-left corner, instead of the dwarf helmet (which would make sense for a set), there's a dragon shield. And one more small thing: there are 24,000 dragons standing near the orange castle, and if you approach them, they readily join you (I, of course, didn't take advantage of this). Otherwise, everything seems fine.

Thank you! I must have forgotten to remove the dragons after testing. And the brown player is needed for the map to function properly; he's, so to speak, a placeholder. The orange player seems to be behaving as intended, becoming an enemy and allowing his death to end the game.
