Undead/Evil Campaign

[Flak]

Hello guys

ive started to draw out ideas and so on for a new campaign featuring the undead

and ive had to change the campaign as it was simply too easy to win with the current army, so i will look in another direction.

[warhammerfreak]

Seems great, I would be happy to try it. 

[Nitrox]

I'm wanted to make a Undead/vampire campaign, so be happy to see it. And it's will be made by Flak, so it's be nice in my opinion (Goblin campaing is nice).

[Flak]

im testing the 3 first missions and wow dark spells are even more powerful on undead than on humans and orcs,
especially "Blade Wind", it kills undead so fast its unreal.
Have just seen 16 of 17 skeleton horsemen fall to it, taking less than 5 seconds

The difficulty is hard to set, as the performance of many undead troops can wary greatly and with the scull catapult being as unreliable as it is.

[Flak]

To compare with original difficulty

My vampire unit just took Helmgart Keep Single handed

Kills 130 Skeletons and Zombies + 1 necromancer

[alavet]

what about making new units/modify standard regiments even more?

i enjoyed 3 knights at dwarf campaing and i wish to see a chariot or something extra with stats (for example very superior but fragile skeletons like W=7, S=6, TO=1; or 5 archers with BS 9 and high moving speedm or maybe true horde with like 40-50 rats with small size) etc.

all of such changes will take a lot of new interest to the game imo, comparing to just switching regiments to "another race" (as it partly was at goblin campaing; sorry didnt played dwarf campaing much)

[Flak]

i also like costum units and i will make some for this campaign especially since there isnt as many undead units

the Hero of this campaign is a vampire with 2 wight bodyguards

[Flak]

the first proposed campaign has been scraped, it was too easy even with ghouls, zombie, scull and vampire to win, unless i made the enemies unrealistically powerful undead foe's

but dont be faint hearted, ive come up with a new idea

[Darkmancer]

Replace the vampire with a necromancer to up the difficulty.

Also remove the shield of phobos for the castle seige level,  and stuff becomes alot harder.

Also it's all well and good you vamp killing everything, the problem is all your other units aint getting any experiance, so the pult remains piss poor, and your troops die easy, not very good on the black pyrimid level.

[Flak]

oh i dont intend to give many items at all, atleast early on while the enemy armies are small

using skeletons and zombies instead of ghouls also makes it harder.

[sipax]

What about making enemy stronger?

[Flak]

trust me Sipax the enemy is not easy to deal with, you will face only the best armies that the enemy has.

I will also make this game available for multiplayer, one will be the enemies and one the hero

[Flak]

Here is a teaser to play in multiplayer with your friends, the Trade Post map
Remember to play fair and send them in 2 waves like the AI does, being the enemy player is kinda like being the GM, ST or DM whatever you like to call it.

Hi Flak,

do you need some help with the UD campaign?

I found a way to change the order of the maps (by change grafics), the AI script and to add more units which use the same script as the others.

E.g. Now its possible to play the count carstein map at first instead of the trading post, and with an other script (e.g. goblin camp (mainreason is the available waargh magic) , if you want to attack some gobz in their cave ).

greetings

Malus

[Flak]

to be honest ive kinda hit a block and not sure how to make it work balanced its hard to find the right difficulty

but changing maps and change AI script that is really really something Malus, i already use your spell editor thing to change the spell books of enemy mages

id like to hear more
