Lifetime of Stones - new trolls/dunefolk campaign!

Mechanical · Post by **Mechanical** » February 27th, 2024, 7:32 pm

"After the Second Great War, the life of trolls changed forever. The echoes of the defeat at Durn-Turum have traveled through the centuries and reached even the little troll Grump, who was recently born in the Heat Caves. Grump has no idea what adventures the legacy of gray antiquity will lead him into.

(Intermediate level, 11 scenarios)"

This campaign is a simple but atmospheric story about the trolls of the Rolling Stones tribe. You'll have a fascinating journey, join an unusual alliance, and go through a series of tactical battles that will bring out the best sides of the trolls. The nuanced dialogs and attention to details will help you immerse yourself in the story and discover interesting Easterling interactions.

I look forward to your feedback and replays. I'm also thinking about creating an alternative branch of story from S3. If you have any suggestions for this, I'd be glad to read them.

I played half campaign. Thanks for your work !
In the third (maybe fourth

, not sure) playable level, I catched an error :
Remove Event is missing id = key

Hello! I downloaded this because I was interested in the description. And I played until S2.
Overall I think it's very nice. However, I had some doubts about the fact that Grump's level up destination is not fixed. Also, the [redraw] code didn't work when the dunefork showed up in S2.

This is my first troll campaign and I am looking forward to it

Thanks for reporting the bug. I have fixed it and will be releasing an update soon.

What version of the game are you playing on?

Hi, thanks for your review, glad you like it.

I'm using the method that you advised to correctly update the shroud after Sultan's appearance.

But I'm not quite sure why you find it questionable that Grump's advancement is not fixed?

I just checked again. It seems that your campaign has its unique advancements, so there was no problem. Sorry.

I played through to probably S3 after the conversation part. It was unexpectedly difficult! The trolls' attacks had little effect on the mudcrawlers. But I managed to victory in 22 turns

So far, it is very well made and good.

The second time I played the campaign (again on Normal), scenario 2 proved unexpectedly difficult because I had no ring of fire. I looked at the code and then restarted the scenario. There was no scarab to kill and get the ring. I then restarted the campaign from the beginning and this time the scarab appeared.

The scarab spawns randomly on the sand in the lower half of the map.

Its location changes each time you start the scenario again.

I searched for the scarab and did not find it.

And I believe that if a scenario is restarted, nothing changes. One must replay the previous scenario to get a different situation.

No, for the {SCATTER_UNIT} macro places a unit randomly each time you restart the scenario's start save

Few days ago I finished and I must say I liked it, congratulations

I only didn't understood why trolls were leaving caves at the begining and at the end, was there a threat?

Noticed one bug for Little Abdul. As he is troll hero he may become great troll or... continue to become troll hero. Hope will be fixed soon

Odd bug in the first scenario: if I load any turn any time, Zuug loses his will to push forward and returns to the keep sitting there forever. Had to completely restart the campaign and finish the scenario in one go.

It's also quite hard to contain Zuug, because he kills everything in one go he always frees the space to get attacked continuously , I think the record was him getting attacked eight times in one round and losing 90% hp.
