If the installator fails, extract the [ .cpx ] file to folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\Campaign or the folder
where AoK is installed
Extract the [ .MP3 ] files to folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\Sound\scenario or the
folder where AoK is installed
Then, start The Conquerors, select Single Player / Custom Campaign, and select
Wolfcastle II in the list.
FAQ
- Pregunta: ¿Que necesito para jugar?
- Respuesta: Necesitas el AoK y su expansión The Conquerors.
Recomendada la versión 1.0b o la 1.0c. Con versiones anteriores
puede que tengas problemas, especialmente al final.
- Question: What do I need in order to play?
- Answer: You need AoK and The Conquerors. (1.0b or 1.0c version
recommended). If you have problems at the end of the scenario (specially
when you have the tank), then update your AoK.
- ¿Y para ver las unidades nuevas como tanques, aviones, etc?
- Necesitas bajarte el Mod Pack y tener el programa Mod
Pack Studio instalado o el Mod Installer.
- Q: What do I need in order to see the new units as tanks, planes, etc.?
- A: You have to download the Mod Pack and have Mod
Pack Studio or Mod Installer installed.
- No quiero el Mod porque
/ soy un vago y no me lo bajo / mi conexión es muy lenta / tengo
manías persecutorias / etc... ¿Influye en algo?
- Para nada. Si juegas sin mod, tan solo notarás que el tanque,
el avión y el APC son un poco extraños... si después
ves el mod, te sorprenderá de todos los detalles que incluye. Simplemente
añade realismo al juego. No influye PARA NADA en la jugabilidad.
Aún así lo recomiendo...
- Q: I don´t wanna download the Mod ´cause / I am to damn lazy / my connection
is very slow / I am paranoid / , etc., Can I still play?
- A: Yes, no problem. If you play without mod, you will only notice
that the tank, the APC and the plane is a little bit strange, nothing
else. Then, if you play with the mod, you will be surprised about all
the details it has. Simply put, the Mod adds realism to the game, yet
it doesn´t modify the playability. However, I recommend to play
with it...
- Cuando juego otra campaña o un mapa aleatorio el juego se ve extraño con el mod...
- El mod fue realizado para jugar con el escenario "Wolfcastle
II", no para jugar un mapa aleatorio u otros escenarios. No es un
mod de conversión total, no solo por el tamaño que ocuparía,
sino por el trabajo que conlleva. Además el mundillo de Wolfcastle
es una mezcla entre medieval y moderno: tanto en Wolfcastle I como Wolfcastle
II esa fue mi intención. Incluso al principio "El silencio
de los payasos" NO llevaba mod, se lo agregué posteriormente.
La única función que realiza el mod pack es añadir
y aumentar el realismo del juego, pero manteniéndose con el engine
básico de Age of Kings. Por eso, te recomiendo que solo uses el
mod para jugar a este escenario. - Q: Whassup, when I play a random map or another scenario with the mod pack the game
looks weird...
- A: The mod wasn´t made to play another scenario or a RM,
but to play Wolfcastle II. Wolfcastle´s world is a mix of the Middle
Ages and nowadays, and I made both Wolfcastle I and Wolfcastle II with
that purpose. In any moment I wanted to do a total conversion mod. The
only purpose of it was to add realism to the scenario, but with Age of
Kings´engine. So please, use the mod only to play this scenario!
- La versión inglesa de tu escenario deja mucho que desear... tiene un montón de faltas de ortografía!!
- Ya lo se. Mi inglés no se puede decir que sea muy bueno, y fue muy complicado traducir el escenario del castellano al inglés, especialmente porque la mayoría de diálogos están en argot.
Intenté hacer lo que pude, pero la traducción no es totalmente perfecta. AnastasiaKafka y otros me ayudaron a corregir errores, pero ten en cuenta que hay más de 850 desencadenadores, y corregirlos
uno por uno es realmente difícil! Al menos espero que se pueda entender...
- Q: Your scenario is plent of gramatical and spell mistakes!
- A: Yah, I know it. My English isn´t very good, and it was very complicated for me to translate the scenario from Spanish to English, specially ´cause almost all the dialogues were in slang.
I tried to do the minimum number of mistakes, but the translation isn´t perfect. AnastasiaKafka and the other testers helped me a lot, but in a scenario with 850
triggers is really difficult to correct them all! At least I hope it´s understable...
- ¿Aparece Osama
Bin Laden en el escenario?
- Por supuesto que sí!!
-Q: Does Osama Bin Laden appear?
- A: Yes, of course!
- Tu escenario es muy
bestia y muy violento, careces de sentimientos por hacer escenas salvajes
y explícitamente violentas. Creo que los menores de 18 años
no deberían jugar porque hiere sentimientos.
- Entonces no juegues al AoK porque matas a cientos de enemigos y
civiles inocentes de forma aún más salvaje...
- Q: Does it have mature content and explicit violence that may be upsetting to
younger viewers?
- A: Yes, just as playing a game that consists of killing your enemy with
sword and arrows, and murdering innocent villagers should. :)
- ¡Tu escenario
es buenísimo! Eres mi ídolo!!
- Si hay mucha gente como tú, abro una cuenta bancaria es
suiza y empiezo a aceptar donativos...
- Q: The scenario is great! It rocks! You are my idol! How can I repay you?
- A: I have opened a secret Swiss Bank account to avoid any ES royalties.
- Tengo problemas con
el audio. Se cuelga / se mezcla /etc...
- Asegúrate de haber puesto los archivos MP3 en la carpeta
Sound/Scenario. Si juegas en velocidad rápida sin pausar el juego
puede que se mezcle ligeramente la música. Recuerda que cuando
pares la música deberás esperar a que termine el audio (de
1 a 80 segundos). Y como no, desactiva la música del juego!
- Q: What if I have problems with the Audio? It crashes / mix / etc.
- A:
* Be sure the MP3 files are in the Sound/Scenario folder.
* If you play on high speed and you never pause the game, perhaps the
music
will mix a little bit.
* Remember that when you stop the music, you must wait until the file
ends.
Music will stop when competed (1- 80 seconds).
* And of course, be sure you have turned off the original game music!
- El juego me va colgadísimo
y llega un momento en que se pone la pantalla de colores y tengo que reinicar.
- Es un escenario muy cargado, por lo que te recomiendo que tengas
mucha memoria RAM y un buen PC. Si se te sigue colgando, prueba a jugar
sin Mod Pack y salva la partida con la música desactivada. Si desactivas
la música el juego te irá más fluido.
- Q: The game has a terrible lag! The screen goes black / multicolor / and I have
to restart the computer! What can I do to correct this?
- A: This scenario is very complex, so I recommend you to have a
powerful PC with loads of RAM. If the lag continues, try playing without
the Mod Pack and save your game with the music off. Finally, if you deactivate
the music altogether, the game will go much faster.
- ¿Has hecho tu solito el escenario?
- Así es. Yo solito! Sin embargo, debo agradecer a todos los
testers que han colaborado, y en especial a Josef Bugman por su ayuda
en el Mod Pack, al hacer el rascacielos y la central nuclear. Cabe mencionar
que le avión lo saqué de la página web de Boeing.
El resto del mod también fue hecho por mí.
- Q: Did you design the scenario alone?
- A: Yes, I have designed it exclusively. However I must thank, all
the Testers for their invaluable support, and special thanks to Josef
Bugman for his incredible designs in the Mod Pack (the nuclear reactor
and the skyscraper), and to Anastasia for translating the text messages.
NOTES: I took the plane from the Boeing web page. Additional Mods were
designed by me... .
- ¿Cuanto es la
raiz cúbica de 125?
- 5. Pero eso no viene a cuento.
- Q: How much is the cubic root of 125?
- A: Use a calculator!
- Me lio un montón
con el argumento...
- Tienes que prestar mucha atención a los diálogos.
Al contrario que otros escenarios, la historia transcurre principalmente
DURANTE el juego, y cambia mucho...
- Q: I don´t understand the story, and I am confused! What am I to do?
- A: You must pay close attention to the dialogue, as the adventure
story exist primarily in the game. It is of vital importance to follow
the story, as unlike other scenarios the instructions and hints for what
to do next is there in the game plot.
- Tengo una web y quiero poner tu escenario en ella.... ¿puedo, puedo?
- Claro que sí! Pero por favor pon el escenario completo con
TODOS sus archivos, y NO modifiques la campaña. De a ser posible,
también pon un enlace a la page del ELD ;)
http://latinaok.cjb.net
- Q: I have a web site and I wanna put your scenario in. Please, can I?
- A: Of course! Although, please, put the complete scenario WITHOUT
CHANGES, and be sure to include all the files! Please, If possible, put
a link to the LTD site. ;)

In this scenario you are a kind of corrupt policeman, and you have to go into some terrorist attacks, until you archieve your goal and kill Krusty, head of the terrorist organization.
Playability - 5.
The first ten minutes aren´t too exciting: you have to reach Hoover´s presence on board of your brand new Ferrari; then he explains you the situation. After that, the action starts: you have a few minutes to kill the terrorists that have seized the nuclear power station called "The Rock", before a meltdown is produced. The time is tight, and there´re lots of stuffs that get you more nervous: you have to escort the hostages to the bunkers, there´s a message that say "Nuclear explosion detected in 60 seconds", a hornet, etc... I got the adrenalin going! The next mission was a race against the clock too. And (wov) you had to use your grey matter! There were 6 random puzzles: each time you played, a diferent one appeared. It made me remember the movie "DieHard", because it was exactly the same: solve the riddle and go to the place where the bomb is, and deactivate it. Simply great!
The following 30 minutes of the scenario are like the typical RPG. You have to walk along paths until you arrive the place you have to investigate. However, there are loads of raiders and criminals that will try to pass you away...
The plot is really good, and if you are interested and you follow the dialogues, the scenario grabs you, like a movie...
Then, there are more "sidequests": you have to launch an assault using your police squads, then you must scape using an APC from the enemies´basement, isolate the radioactive plutonium modules, etc.
And among that, the raiders bothering you!
This scenario reaches you out all time, specially if you pay attention to the storyline: you enjoy it more.
The only negative point here is the lag... SOMETIMES it is a bore... however, this scenario has more than 700 triggers (I think), a very complex map design, and in my Pentium 500 with 64 Mb Ram almost all the scenarios have a terrible lag; and if you turn off the music and play without the mod, it goes much, much better (sometimes there´s no lag!). I don´t think I should take points off because of this.
Balance - 5.
This scenario isn´t easy. Really it´s very difficult. Basically because it´s very long and if you don´t save often, when you pass away you will wish kill yourself :p
I played in the most difficult level: it was a challenge! I had to load 4 times before beat the first mission. So I changed to the easiest difficulty level. It was much better and I only had to load once in all the scenario.
I liked this point: you can try a real challenge or play with normal difficulty.
The riddle part was a little bit different: I had to pause the game and think 15 minutes before solving! I really liked it because it forces you to use the brain...
The raiders are regenerated after some minutes, so if you have to go back, the path isn´t clear (hehehe).
There are ambushes, fights, and the sidequests make you sweat, but you always complete them without too many problems. I think it deserves a 5.
Map Design - 5.
Speechless. It is really complex and wonderful, plent of eye candies. The cities aren´t too realistic (compared to the real ones) because of the flowers, but we must take into account that it´s a fictional world where the modern world mixes with the medieval one. The result is great, and it´s a real pleasure to see it.
The city had all kind of facilites: libraries, malls, a council, police station, impound, discos, a equine club, airport, a military basement, a nuclear power station... and they were extremely realistic!
The forests are great, with all kind of savage life. Fantastic...
Creativity - 5.
What can I say? You must play it in order to notice all the details it have. The sidequests are great, the plot is worth a movie script, there are lots of (bad) jokes that make you laugh, the facilities are great and each one have a purpose of being in the scenario. More than perfect. You must see it, I cannot explain it with words.
Story and instructions - 5.
The storyline is marvellous. The diference with other scenarios, where all the story is given in the instructions screen, and then the game is only a battle or a part of the story, consists that in Wolfcastle 2 the plot is ON the game. The instructons screen shows you a little biography of Wolfcastle. All the plot pass during the scenario; it changes as your character investigate and collect hints. It is really original and imaginative; there´re many surprises and traitions.
The instructions and goals are clear and easy to understand. Extra objectives are shown: biography of your agents, of your friends and enemies, objects you have collected, theories of the case, and a long etc.
The only problem I have seen is that there are some mistakes... they aren´t serious: almost all of them are idiomatic expressions. The author´s first tongue isn´t English, so he has done an excellent job trying to imitate the English slang. It´s perfectly understable and the mistakes are minor.
====
What can I say in conclusion? I am not exaggerating, this is the best (and the most original) scenario I have ever played. Loads of action (that will get your adrenalin going), bad jokes and a marvellous plot can define Wolfcastle 2.
I do recommend this download. Perhaps you won´t find it so interesting, specially if you don´t like RPGs; if you don´t want a good plot, that grabs you until the end, if you need action and blood and violence and more blood and kill kill kill and more blood without story -and more blood :p, then don´t download it. But if you want a complete scenario, a long one plent of quality and a magnificent script, download it. You´ll enjoy Wolfcastle 2 - The Silence of the Clowns.
**Mod Pack**
I shouldn´t include the mod in this review, but I´ll do it :p
When I saw the description page, with the screens, I said "Wov..." but when I read "Optional Mod Pack" I said "HAHAHAHAHA Please, the scenario won´t be the same without mod...". How wrong I was!
Using AoK engine, Andres_age has done a wonderful job recreating modern facilities. The result is great. I played first without mod, and I found it fantastic. The only weird vehicles were the tank and the plane... (a scorpio and a trebuchet). Taking into account AoK possibilities, it is almost perfect.
So I decided to play with the mod...
Again, WOV... The plane and the tank were a plane and a tank ;) but there were loads of extra details! The SWAT squads were more realistic, the nuclear reactor was different, and there were traffic lights and restaurant terraces in the city (without mod I didn´t notice them!). Skycrapers, new vehicles... a new world of possibilities. However the mod doesn´t replace all the buildings... only some of them. But instead of making it weirder, it makes the game more fascinating!
Without mod you will enjoy the scenario. With mod, you will live the scenario! :D
The best of the scenario:
- All?
The worst of the scenario:
- Hmmm let me think... (half an hour after) perhaps less lag... :p |
