ShadowMaster's review
---------------------
02:29 <Shadow_Master> Chantal does a funny MUF at the end of Return of Trouble
+
+Daniel Franke's review
+----------------------
+I was playing on Hard. I've attached an archive of all my replays.
+
+First off, bugs, besides those I've mentioned on IRC:
+
+* In "Terror at the Ford", the "undeads" event fires too soon, before
+ any undead units are actually visible.
+
+Onward to balance:
+
+By and large, I found this a very easy campaign, but with two
+rather-challenging scenarios and two excessively difficult ones.
+Except where noted, I won every scenario on my first attempt.
+
+* Leollyn: Leollyn kept winning Darwin awards after I had finished
+ off most of the enemy troops. Give him a bit of starting gold.
+ Or better yet, provide a paved route between my keep and his so
+ that I can send some horsemen to protect him.
+
+* Houses of the Dead: With some unlucky rolls, it's rather easy for
+ Delfador to get killed after picking up the staff. Having no
+ other units to protect him, there's not much to be done about it
+ besides parking him on a mountain and hoping for the best.
+
+* The Gate Between Worlds: This scenario is, as best I can tell,
+ impossible to win on Hard. The walkthrough's recommended approach is
+ suicidal, and the attached replay is the result of massive savescumming
+ during the final two turns. I didn't get my free recall since none
+ of my AI allies survived the previous scenario, so I guess that didn't
+ help any, but I'd recommend reducing the enemy gold setting to 160
+ on Normal and 200 on Hard.
+
+* Terror at the Ford of Parthyn: This scenario has too many surprises in
+ it. It's trivial to beat if you know what to expect, and unfair if
+ you don't. On my first try, I had to restart after getting ripped to
+ shreds early on by the two village ambushes. On my second, I divided
+ my forces into two groups of about equal size to fight the orcs and
+ the undead, and found that this was a mistake, because I got a
+ considerable number of human reinforcements, but they were all
+ positioned to fight the undead rather than the orcs. As a result, I
+ barely prevailed against the orcs, while the undead were a pushover.
+ Had I instead split my forces 2:1 with the majority heading west, this
+ would have gone much more easily.
+
+ Move the school of mages a little closer if they're intended to be
+ useful. The fight was over by the time they got to the ford.
+
+* The Return of Trouble: This was a tough scenario and one of my
+ favorites. I beat it on my third try after deciding to recruit
+ only L2s.
+
+* Save the King: The AI settings here were annoying. Garard's troops
+ easily wiped out the two southern armies without any need for my
+ help, but then the [avoid] directive prevented them from finishing
+ off the purple leader. This left me to drag my army all the way
+ across the map in order to finish off one L2, after everyone else
+ was already dead.
+
+* The Portal of Doom: This level is too hard. I won on my 6th try, with
+ Delfador as my only surviving unit, and even then only due to some
+ extremely lucky rolls. I don't think it's possible to win with only
+ average luck. Having to fight L3 rather than L2 units (like on
+ normal) makes a night-and-day difference. Just leave it at L2; having
+ to fight 600 rather than 400 gold worth of undead will still be plenty
+ difficult.
+
+* Prince of Wesnoth: This was a bit tricky, because I went into it broke,
+ so had to fight the whole enemy army with five recalls. I pulled it
+ off on my third attempt by turtling south of the lake. Timing is a
+ little bit tight.
+
+I've only highlighted the most difficult scenarios here, but
+by-and-large I disagree with reclassifying this as an intermediate
+campaign. If you make my suggested tweaks to Gate Between Worlds
+and Portal of Doom, then I think it'll end up somewhat easier than
+HttT.
+
+
+Finally, a couple style/grammar nitpicks:
+
+* Overture: Delfador's closing "Let's go!" is a bit cheesy and breaks
+ the mood. Replace it with something more formal or just get rid of
+ it.
+
+* This Valley Belongs to Me: "fully trained" needs a hyphen. "I hope
+ however" needs a comma.
+
+* Council in Weldyn: "They need reminding that Wesnoth is too hot for
+ them": is this an archaism that I've never heard before? I think of
+ this as ghetto slang.
