Ice Age Fun and Japhel's Journey

[Chusquero]

Spoiler:

Just played through the Caves of Destiny(?). The big one.

Can you please make moving about more easy. Portals that open up or something? It's unspeakably dull, going through the entire scenario, moving characters back and forth the entire time. Let us do the fun stuff and then go back to the centre area (at our own choice). Does it really need to be as big as it is?

Edit: uhh... In the next mission, Jobath spoke, the saurians joined up, but all and only the sky drakes signed up. The rest of the saurians promptly began bashing them.

I'm working on a solution to this problem as I type. The part with the sky drakes has been brought up before, but I haven't thought of a good way to make it flow yet.


@Chusquero: You may not have to start over again from the beginning. There are a couple more tests I would like you to perform, if you can.
1. Go back to "Troll Toll" and fight the !@$#@ trolls. There is another scenario in there, which leads into "The Confrontation" again.
2. Try paying the trolls again and see if it's still wrong.
3. Send me the savegame from the beginning of Troll Toll, if you can. I might be able to isolate the problem using that.
IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING CHUSQUERO'S PROBLEM? This must be fixed as soon as possible.

and btw, if you pay the trolls, King Snaga loses 100 gold right off the bat.

Can't do it sorry, I just deleted the saves

Edited: BTW I'll do those test when I get there.

[Chusquero]

Allright, I'm there again (facing Snaga) and Jobath didn't travel back in time. I messed with the debug mode I think.

Ok... I'm going back to see that is the dragon statue in the north shore of the troll's river... I'm courious (Edited: That's a smart troll!)

By the way this campaign is cool and expands the gameplay a lot (I'm a bit tired of facing overwhelming undead armies, maybe I talk too soon...)

[Mountain_King]

Oh, good. I was starting to be worried there.

(I'm a bit tired of facing overwhelming undead armies, maybe I talk too soon...)

I think there's only three or four scenarios in the whole that even have undead, so that should be it.


On a bit of a side note, I just released version 1.4.0 for the 1.9 branch of Ice Age Fun. This should make "Stone of Destiny" a lot less tedious.
And just realized I forgot to clarify the part with the sky drakes.

Return of shadows' feedback:

Superior, great, a well modelled rushing situation, I was really happy to have highlevel deerstalkers hehe.
Now the harsh things: The dwarf and the grandpa had all the villages... Well, I think the grandpa and the deerstalker leader dhould have the bigger village sectors, then the dwarf (because he has been there few days) and the magician (obviously the mages are elite and few) with the smaller villages sectors... It was just my feeling, there were too much dwarves!

But, the main opinion is still good, really good, mainly because there were no undeads!!! 8/10!!!

[Mountain_King]

Yeah, I never really liked the way Ashkenaz went and took all the villages like that. The problem for me is that the code for giving out individual villages is kind of...lengthy. With the number of villages on the map, there would be probably ~100 lines of code. Not to mention I have to get the coordinates for each and every village.
I'm glad you're still enjoying it, and I would like it if you could give a full feedback over in the add-on subforum when you're finished.

Best Regards,

Hey there my condolences on a good campain, been lot's of fun to play so far.

Having a problem with the Elusive Elephant Bird scenario, I've killed everything (exept the mammoth, I avoided him) and the scenario won't end. I've explored the entire map and killed a lvl. 3 Elephant Bird (which I assume is the leader) and it still isn't over.. I'm playing on 1.9.4, if that makes any difference.

[Mountain_King]

Are you sure you checked everywhere? There's one location in particular: A great tree in the extreme lower-right (southeast) corner (its coordinates are 41,38). When you get close an event will trigger that will cause the bird to start squawking. In 1.9.x this should also put a golden hex outline right where he is. If you have already checked there, then I need you to send me a savegame from somewhere in the Elephant Bird scenario so I can have a look at it. Thanks for the report!
Best Regards,
Mountain_King

[Rowanthepreacher]

That got me as well. I killed the Big Bird, but nothing happened, so I explored a bit more. Eventually I realised how stupid I was being and sent down some guys to check out the tree. Lo and behold, there's the bird.

Not really. You just need to change de sides between deerstalker and dwarf leaders, so the first will take more villages (I think it should be: Me, Granpa, Deerstalker, Dwarf, Mage, Enemies). The mage could go before the dwarf

[Chusquero]

The gauntlet scenario: There are two other red sides (me, the shoutern ogre and the northern undead).

Dang, I thought I fixed that! I'll have to have a look at it tomorrow, when I can get on the computer that has 1.8 on it.
On another note, I decided to stop griping and take a look at the villages for Return of Shadows. There was about a hundred lines of code, but copy+paste helped cut down immensely on the freehand typing I had to do. So, the next 1.9 release will give all the allied leaders villages (Yochyd has eight, while the other leaders have five each).
Let me know if any other teams have matching team colors, and I'll work on fixing it.

[Chusquero]

Also, in the same scenario, the dwarf ally and the northeast orc are both blue.

[Mountain_King]

The dwarf is supposed to be green. That's not right. I'll add it to the list.

Actually, the ogre is red but the flags in his villages are green.

[Sneezy]

Hi-- using BfW ver 1.8.5 and IAF 1.2.6 beta: I'm pretty sure that, in "Love at First Blight," the hero team color was red, and two of the enemy bosses were also red.
