I can see how people love them when they're theirs and hate them when they're hostile. The latter being much more often the case so...Sudipta wrote:I thought bats were the most awesome unit type

I m really looking forward for you to finish this campain, because I failed, I lost too many units in last r pre-last scenario, and I was not able to go on. For dungeon crawl style, I prefere dwarfs... and I hate hate really hate those terrible drones!
It s really cool to read this.

(This update took a while because I was sick last week.)
I'm impressed you finished the campaign after losing two veterans so early - I found 22B really hard even with all my veterans alive!mousyack wrote:I for one actually got so fed up with this tactic that I lost two veterans to Elyssa's brutal leadership in 22A as a result
Well, I only like the friendly onesSudipta wrote:I thought bats were the most awesome unit type for you
That's too bad; this happened to me too the first time I played IftU (had to replay several scenarios in the last section).Delicius169 wrote:I m really looking forward for you to finish this campain, because I failed, I lost too many units in last r pre-last scenario

So, are you planning to do an AtS let's play? (it's IftU's sequel)

Haven't done the emperor fight, got a theory on how I might be able to do it but haven't got around to testing it. Will try one more time before reading your playthrough, I guess.Inky wrote:I'm impressed you finished the campaign after losing two veterans so early - I found 22B really hard even with all my veterans alive!
Also, I'm playing on normal
Re: Let’s Play Invasion from the Unknown 2.0 (Parts I and II
Yes, I hope so! (It seems an update is coming so I'll probably wait until then.)ForestDragon wrote:So, are you planning to do an AtS let's play?

Re: Let’s Play Invasion from the Unknown 2.0 (Parts I and II
btw, i like your way of posting a step-by-step screenshot album, since i often don't really bother viewing replays anyway
looking forward to the boss fight (i seen it, but that was on older version, stuff may have changed )
btw, little tip:

ForestDragon: Thanks! I wanted these posts to be as accessible and quick to read as possible.
And yes, this scenario has changed from the older version (a big improvement, I think - it used to be that the boss would constantly heal to full from attacking your units, which was really infuriating!)

yes, it's called 'After the Storm', one thing i can tell you for sure, it has badass special effectsInky wrote:(Sequel??)
so, how about starting an AtS let's play topic btw, i played it from beginning to end (by cheating of course ) so i know the storyline (not going to spoil it for now ) so i would be interested in seeing someone actually play it

Reading your LP of IftU feels like reading ASOIF coz we never know who's going to die next.
It was simply mesmerizing to see your emperor fight (and your entire game for that matter) and allow me to give you some well deserved congratulations for completing this massive undertaking.
CONGRATS!!
Thank you for this great gift to the community. I have never seen any LP for any game that i enjoyed as much as i did for your one. You are one cool dude. I bet u look like this all the time.
This was the best finisher possible. I remember the countless times i slammed down my laptops lid because of these drones. Especially the war drones in AtS. ShadowM is just messing with us with those.
Also, it seems like all kinds of unbelievable stuff happen when u play.
And, i would say that spectres were the most awesome unit type in your playthrough. Man, they must have killed thousands of enemies. A Spectre with 7 AMLA's ? That's the Grim Reaper right there!
Sadly, all great things must come to an end sometime. No more will i enter the forums everyday, hoping to see a new chapter of your LP

I'd asked him the same question a few weeks ago and he said he would probably play AtS after the AtS reconstruction. Since no one knows how long that might take, i guess we won't be seeing it for a while. But hey, after the stunning job he did on this one, i say he more than well deserves a long rest.ForestDragon wrote:yes, it's called 'After the Storm', one thing i can tell you for sure, it has badass special effectsInky wrote:(Sequel??)

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Playing Wesnoth since 2010, still there is so much left to play

Thanks for the playthrough, I loved it! The commentary was really enjoyable and there’s a lot to be learned from it for future updates. Hopefully existing and prospective players will find it useful as well!
Just to clarify, it’s not a project on the same scale as Reconstruction — that is to say, not a rewrite or a major overhaul of any sort — since AtS does not need that in my view. It’s just going to include a few deceptively small gameplay additions (hence the major version number bump), new sprite animations, and flesh out a cutscene that didn’t quite make the cut for 0.9.0 or 0.8.90.Sudipta wrote:I'd asked him the same question a few weeks ago and he said he would probably play AtS after the AtS reconstruction.

Wow, thanks for the really nice comments everyone!!
Sudipta: I'm so flattered I don't know what to say! (p.s. Actually I'm a girl)
About AtS, I know the upcoming update isn't anything major, I mainly wanted to take a break (making these posts can get pretty tedious) and play some other UMCs for a while. I thought I mind as well wait for the update to play AtS, but I might end up starting it before then.
