There it is!
The first two puplic maps with some changes.
The video was very bad and so i think its the best you play the maps by your self.

Interesting I will test it tonight.
How does the AI behave Malus? Are they just standing around or attacking?

Have you ever thought about how the Blighted Towers could conquered by the orcs?
Here is a scenariomap for singleplayer.
How to use:
-first! Your need a max install(or some regedit changes) of the game. Otherwise the game use the gamedata of the CD. If you havn´t something like that, you cant play this scenario ;/
-download the scenario
-unzip the scenariofolder
-go to your blabla/DO/GameData/1pbat and make a backup from the battle B2_05.
-go to the scenario/blighted towers/B2_05 folder (that one you have dl) and copy the two files into your DO/GameData/1pbat/B2_05 folder
-from the folder scenario/blighted towers/savegame copy the savefile "darkomen.069" (there is only one in it) into your DO/Savegame folder
-run DO and load the savegame named "Battle of the Blighted Towers" and enjoy it
History:
No one have survived to write it down.......and orcs cant write!!

I dont know it realy exactly but it seems that every map has its own AI script. They are saved in the engrel.exe.
At the BTB file you can only change the script witch the units use.
You cant use the script from battle 4 at map 1, only the script on the same map.
They are saved at numbers like 1,2,10 and so on.
The script says what the unit does, i.e. when does it spawn at the map or which way does it use
At the BTB-file there are some saved but unused units or unimportant triggers or just triggers for multiplayer which you can edit and change them to a new AI unit. Many bugs apear if you change one wrong trigger, i.e. at map 2 i changed the goal for the patrol to new units and when playing these guys walk together and disapear =)
At my modded Tradingpost i use the two scripts from the first gobz for the two friendly townguards.
The BTB files are very interesting but its difficult to understand all the stuff.

Man, that's awesome.
Finally we can enocounter more epic version of blighted towers.
My 1st try ended with one lobber lasting againist two mortars and one cannon
There's also little problem.
Sometimes AI takes over our units, its kinda frustrating, especially with mage.

They must be controled by AI cause they are friendly units which helps you
Yes they are stupid but its funny to look how they fight!

Yes I know enough about the BTB because I created the map Patch
.
That the AI-Script can control friendly units is a really interesting find could create many new gameplay elements.
And the Scenario Scripts are not saved in the engrel.exe btw (only the conversation script between the battles).
The Scenario scripts are in the CTL files (B101.ctl for trading post) but we are unable to understand them. Maybe you find a way

We have made some attempts at disassmbling the CTL files, but it has been really difficult. We have made some progress, like figuring out opcodes, which opcodes takes how many arguments (at least we think they are arguments), and the limits of function blocks, but we don't know which opcode means what, we're basically guessing, even if some guesses are educated. We're not even certain about the calling convention of the language (compiles stack machine, interpreted bytecode, or whatnot). There is a CTL code viewer in the newest version of the text mode editor, which I don't know if it is officially downloadable anywhere, but probably on the FTP (ask Ghabry or Bem about it).

Displayed map is blighted towers but you play on the Great Forest map.
This means... eh... dunno never did this. I guess you replaced the PRJ file?
