         <<<Rise of the Dead>>>


Greetings Warlords!

I want to present you a campaign (not finished) with many
changes at the AI-Player, more Enemy Units, greater battles.
As you know, many battles are to easy or the map is realy nice
but the fights are to short or borring and so on.
The goal of this campaign is not the story itself, or to add new
units and races.
The intention is to make the battles more difficulty,
interesting and BIGGER!

But to do this i need your help because everyone has an
other opinion of difficulty.
So please feel free to make any critics at this campaign.
- Whats to easy, to hard?
- Find AI-Bugs, or units do nothing/are stupid
- suggestions to make the battles better

I´m not a good storywriter, if someone wants to write a good
story or have good ideas please add them at the forum.



contents:

- empire armylist
- alternative campaign
- higher difficulty
- chapter 1 and 2
- incomplete storyline
- files: Playerarmy, BTB-files, Enemyarmies, CTL-files

for the future:

- increase difficult with help and critics of the community
- find a better, more clearly storyline =)
- add chapter 2,3 and the End?
- add more armielists

Storyline

Prelude

The Emperor sends a small army to looking for Morgan Bernhardt.

at a city in the south. But why the people smell so strange?

More blood, bones and a stupid woman. But where is Bernhardt?


Chapter Two

names. But both are good fighters, rly!

But at Caunt Carsteins Castle they discover something

unexpected.

Woot.
THIS is difficult.

I was able to solve the Trading Post after the 3rd try and lost 1500gc.

Now I'm in the 2nd mission at first I thought "hm, really easy compared to the first mission" then a orc mage appeared and killed my regiments with a magic Foot Sad.

Anyway well done. Interesting to see what you can do by changing AI paths in the BTB file without even understanding the CTL format.

No wasn't meant harsh.
We are just not able to understand anything in the CTL file but he was able to work around this problem.

This is really interesting stuff, any chance you could make a tutorial or a wikipage about how you do this?

Great Work and nice use of BTB and WH32edit.

At first I completely failed the first mission which this is all about, new gameplay.

Thanks!

i really impressed with the difficiulty of this campaing.

in fact i still playing the first mission, after 5 failed attempts.

wtf? how is it possible to complete it without big portion of luck?
i see its doable if my regiments done flee, but they do a lot Cheesy

there is 1 lobber, 2 or 3 bolters and mage (does he have magic wand? he casts his spells like a mad, and i never killed him yet).

pls give some ideas how to win it, lol.

i figured its better use my archers as a warriors, cause otherwise lobber will skrimish it. and still have no chances to process my army to the lobber (once i actually did, but lobber crew killed my 6 swordmen, lol)

also lobber is pretty accurate, is it just luck or lvl2+ lobber?

My tactic is: Rush with everything to the other side of the River, first bowmen and icemage. Then the infantry. Place one Bowmen near the Cliff so that it can attack the Bolt Thrower. The other bowmen moves north and attacks with arrows all attacking units together with the ice mage. Now the infantry should be near enough to go to close combat with all attacking troops... Use now the ice mage to kill the next bolt thrower (and hope that it doesnt kill you *lol*).
You only need luck that no rock lobber kills you. But usually it never hits *g*.

Oh I´m so sorry thats my fault, there should be no rock lobber.
It should be disabled at the enemy armyfile but in this version it isn`t.
Yes the rock lobber is too much random, get luck that he doesn`t hit to many times.

I thought it has been disabled  Tongue

I will release the chapter 3 and fixes of 1/2 during the X-mas hollidays. Actualy i have to much trouble.

Thx 4 the helpfull feedback =)
