CAMPAIGN WAS FULLY TESTED

Once again a great campaign hinting at more secrets that are not told. D: (Plus important events you do not get to see. :C)
I love the forest healing mechanic.

Last of its Kind
Can be won on turn 1 if you get the Staff of Rage.

Swan Song
Killing a Dark Wose with any attack by Laneenfe turns the Wose, even though it's supposed to work only with fairy fire.
I'd love a counter in the scenario objectives like x/77 forest tiles healed, x/7 Woses purified.


(Again, I'll do a grammar/typo run at some point.)

Thank you very much for the campaign.

Looking at the screenshot in your post...where do I get that second druid?

Btw, why are you using the sprite of the undead wose, instead of the 'normal' Dark Wose? Dark Wose seems more fitting. Possible achievements I can think of:
Freeing all Bloomers in S1, getting all the items, making Miinosem pray, give x units a second chance, get your Sorceress to lvl 4 before the last scenario

Thank you for such kind words.

Maybe in the future like in Dream in the Sand I will add some plot extending scenario to show "a little" more if there is such a desire from the players.

I worked hard on this specjal mechanic. I'm really glad that you like it.

I know, I added Staff of Rage somewhat for this purpose.... I couldn't resist giving players the option of ranged berserk. Staff of Rage also functions as a "Cheat item" and is used so that if a player had a big problem passing Last of its Kind then they could use that item to defeat Jenno.

I am also thinking of adding a special achievement when the player defeats Jenno the Gatekeeper in one turn.

I know this bug well and have been thinking about how to repair it for a while now, and something feels like I won't get over it quickly.

Sounds nice. I will think about it.

As always, I will be looking forward to that.

I'm very happy to see that you like it, it's nice to see someone playing and enjoying it. I really worked hard to make it the best it could be, and I will still be.

This is Cherry, from the initial version before I created the sprites for the Dryad unit. On the beginning the Dryad unit used as a placeholder Druid line sprites.

I was completely unaware of this sprite, it looks wonderful. Can you tell me where I could find the rest of it?

I really like your ideas. I was also thinking about the achievement idea for the Core of Darkness scenario when you defeat all the Great Trees woses.

Sounds good to me. ^^

I got it from 'War of the Jewel'. It can also be found in 'Dawn of Thunder'. Both are add-on campaigns on 1.16.

That one seems to be a bit harsh and too dependend on luck. The enemies will always reach at least one great tree before you do, and with a bit of luck they might actually kill it.
How about an achievement for leveling up an Ancient Wose?

I meant, defeating all the Great Tree Woses in the Core of Darkness scenario when you need to open the gate and search for the Guardian.

Ooooh, sure.

On that note, how about making the staff only drop on defeating the last Great Tree Wose in that scenario?
