---------------------
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.
-
-I see this occasionally, but haven't figured out how to reproduce it
-yet. I think it must be a bug in the core code implementing sighted
-events.
-
->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.
-
-That doesn't necessarily mean it should be considered novice-level.
-See <http://www.catb.org/~esr/wesnoth/campaign-design-howto.html> for
-discussion, in particular "Balancin Scenarios". How do you rank
-yourself as a player?
-
->* 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.
-
-I couldn't reproduce this. In fact, I've never seen Lleollyn get
-killed on any level of difficulty. Maybe you need to attack the
-assasin more aggressively to take the pressure off 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.
-
-How did you manage this? A 3rd or 4th-level mage shouldn't be
-killable by a couple skeletons. And in any case there's at least one
-safe village to heal up in, in the tomb where the staff was.
-
->* The Gate Between Worlds: This scenario is, as best I can tell,
-> impossible to win on Hard.
-
-Odd. I didn't find it particularly difficult at Hard. It's not like
-Iliah-Malal is recruiting anything nastier than thugs and adepts; you
-can inundate them with ghouls if you have to.
-
->* 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.
-
-I've done this.
-
->* 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.
-
-You pretty much have to do that, yes.
-
->* 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.
