Hello! Could anyone review my campaign? It's ID. 1134, "The Viking Saga (From Norway to Vinland)". It's my first campaign and I would like to know how good it is (or how bad ). I'm a newbie on this and a review would be very important for me. By the way, perhaps some scenarios crash the game. I think I solved this problem but it wasn't easy. Please tell me if this happens (and a solution would also be welcome )-Thanks.

I still check this forum at least weekly looking for requests for RMS reviews. If you want to add my name to the list of reviewers, for RMS only please, I will be glad to check this list regularly. I will get all RMS reviews requested done, but no guarantee as to promptness! I am an 'official AOKHeaven reviewer' for RMS, and have 25 RMS reviews posted to date.

@ RF_Gandalf

Thank you very much.

@tannuer: i saw your review...do you think it would be a good idea for me to go back and try to add some things? i have some good ideas i think would work. I'm glad you saw the "cheat islands".

The ship comes off a timer when you complete the 2 objectives. Should I shorten the timer length?

@ LKS_Lawngnome

First you could satisfy my curiosity. Was the date, the 12th of June 1423 according to the Gregorian or Islamic calendar?

On a side note, I really loved the comment after I did “cheese steak jimmy’s” in order to let the fight of the champions run. I learned something, even though it was six against six with the same HP, 4 of the orange survived due to the fact that 2 orange attacked one grey in the beginning, while each grey attacked one orange. The AP’s don’t simply add they are raised by a certain factor.

Regarding your question I wrote in the review: “Try a story; launch the arrival of the boat with a trigger, timed after the last enemy unit is killed. Give more and stronger enemies so that the player has to use different tactics. Make the food system harder and add more things to explore in the middle and the north of the map.”

You definitely should “add some things”. The two objectives are done in the first five minutes in the game. I do not think that it is enough to shorten the timer, related to the two objectives. A player could go around the island starting east, which would start the timer only at the end of the game, when all enemies are killed and still be too long. Put the trigger for the ship when the enemy has less than X+1 units left, X being the amount of units on the “cheat islands” +1 (explosive unit, not everybody might fall into that trap like me ). To be sure that the two objectives are done before that, you can place two timed triggers that kill castaway if he did not fulfil the objectives. 1. “You were the prey to wild animals in your sleep.” (4 min. of game) 2. “You died with thirst.” (8 min. of game) All of this depends of course what you will add. Some challenge and a story would be nice.

Ralf those beer comments are hilarious! .

LOL... did you look those up, Tanneur?

@ BrandNewCar

Thank you. BTW do you have any information about the next update of the News Archives? For my review of AS Britain Lays Bleeding I used a quote from your blacksmith features.

@ Aro

Oh no… I got them by e-mail from one of my Dutch friends. I guess that is why Luke had one of them in his sig. Some years ago I read about a research about the origins of jokes. The result was that most of them are done by brokers, who sit the whole day watching the screen and follow all the stock markets around the globe. The broker attaches the joke to his orders and any joke makes it around the globe in less than a day.

About the calendar... I just made up a random date in the 1400s

@Tannuer

Can you add me to the review list? I am LKS_Lawngnome.

Thanks

@ KeLar

You are on the list under the identity of CoRk_Lawngnome. I can not list you twice and there is no review under the name of KeLar.

Will you review under the name of KeLar in the future?

As far as I know when Angel Thunder went he didn't pass on the news archives stored. Thus making it very hard to get them back. .

@ Aro

Good review. Why the names change from Dark_Aro to Aro?

@ BNC

Thank you. So there is still hope, as “very hard” is not impossible.

eh i would lk a review

Multi ID=1182 Koth Blood

I think its good and its origanal

Hoping to get discovered. I uploaded in August(02) and i have 62 dwnloads iz that good? N e way if you can review it that would help alot

thnx Youro_Hawks

@ Youro_hawks

It is up. We really need people to review Multiplayer.

Not many downloads, really. Why do you think people should download? Certainly not if they are confronted with a blank author's description page.

A little text helps often more than a review.

Hi everybody!
Could somebody make a review of my last campaign : The revenge of the Templars v.2 ?
It´s ID 1145 (but be sure to review the last version, the version v.2, the others had little bugs)

xavill:

I planned to review 'The Revenge of The Templars,' and so look for a review within a week.

I am sorry for my recent inactivity, but I am ready to review scenarios again. You may want tp send me a few reminders though, due to the fact that I may forget my post tomorrow.

Hopefully, reviewing should renew my interest in AoK again, when I have time for reviewing.

I'll try and review the Viking Saga sometime...

@ Silent Ninja

Thank you, nice to read from you again.

@ Tonto_Simfish

Welcome back, for which review can I put you down?

I'll review something sometime this week.

[This message has been edited by KeLar (edited 01-03-2003 @ 05:17 PM).]

I reviewed Trees on water by Cespenar.

Review here.

KeLar, you do not need to tell every review you do. Just the ones for the thread.

Oh.

Quote:

There are quite a few choices out there, so I am currently indecisive as in which scenario to review. If someone really wants their scenario reviewed quickly, then please select a scenario for me to review. However, please be aware that it can take up to a few weeks for me to review a scenario. First of all, I tend to play a scenairo over and over again for a few times, to check for any inappropriate first opinions, as well as for bugs. Multiplayer scenarios may even take longer, since it does take time for me to host a scenario for more players.

EDIT: I'll actually try to review "Capture Blood" by DiabloNight. There are no lack of SP reviewers, but I'm the only multiplayer reviewer here, so perhaps you could assign me to review multiplayer scenarios only.

[This message has been edited by Tonto_Simfish (edited 01-04-2003 @ 00:33 AM).]

Well, I try to do my own "informal" Multiplayer reviews at MCSN whenever I have time.

Btw, nice to see you around, Simfish.

EDIT: I just got an idea, why don't you join MCSN? Gives us more members, and gives you more players.

[This message has been edited by CrystalCrown (edited 01-04-2003 @ 01:37 AM).]

A-argh!!

It's a B&D... I got bored after the first level so I can only post a review of the first scenario

From what I played before I fell asleep, I can remember playing a map where you and your villies are indestructible, your only enemies are "hermits" who are probably there just to stop yourself automatically winning, as well as a couple 25HP wolves, the only terrains are Snow Grass and Snow Pine, with a bit of normal grass that has EXOTIC PLANTS NEXT TO SNOW , and after 30-40 minutes of game time my enemy resigned and I won. I unzipped the AI to the right places.

Take me off for it, I couldn't review it without being biased on the fact it is impossible to lose!!

Alright, I'll review Obsidian Warriors, and I hope I can expect a scenario which isn't boring, being from Al_Kharn...

@ Tonto_Simfish

Quote: "There are no lack of SP reviewers, but I'm the only multiplayer reviewer here, so perhaps you could assign me to review multiplayer scenarios only."

Actually all sorts of reviews are lacking. It takes too long for most of the requests to be reviewed. The thread reviewer chooses which kind of scenarios he reviews. I just add to the name of what he/she has done so far to give other forumers an idea where he is needed and designers what to expect from the thread. Question: Is it mandatory to host a scenario fore more players? Would a review for Multiplayer, based on a game against the computer, be biased?

@ CrystalCrown

Quote: "Well, I try to do my own "informal" Multiplayer reviews at MCSN whenever I have time."

Are the test results of MCSN uploaded somewhere?

Quote:

Thank you for the invitation, but...

I have been thinking about joining MCSN, and multiplayer custom scenarios have been some of my favorite parts about this game. However, the problem is, that I'm currently overloaded with projects, and if I spend too much time playing custom scenarios, then I'll be procrastinating my projects and as a result of procrastination, I won't get a good night's sleep whent he project due date approaches, and I won't get a good grade on my project, since when you're under heavy stres working on a project on the last day before the project is due, then you're staying up for quite a lot of the night, and you're not a very effective worker when you're extremely tired.

May I ask if it is alright if I'm not very active in MCSN? I could play a few games, but just remember that I'm not supposed to participate in MCSN too much, or else I may fail to complete the projects that I have to work on for school.

Quote:

Alright, but from what I see in this thread, there really aren't any multiplayer scenario reviewers according to the list, so I feel that it is my duty to review multiplayer scenarios until someone else can come in and help me review multiplayer scenarios. But, I do have a question.. Do some people review scenarios after a MCSN? Maybe some new scenarios from people awaiting a review are played for a MCSN, and then reviewed, but I have not read the thread thoroughly yet. However, I will read it soon after posting this post.

Quote:

I'm very sorry if I didn't understand your sentence completely, but can you please redefine it? Do you mean is it mandatory to host a scenario for more players as in hosting a multiplayer scenario for players whom are not the computer players? Or do you mean something else?

Quote:

Whenever you play a multiplayer game against the computer, you will almost always create a biased review. Why? The computer AI usually does not know what to do in a scenario, and your playing experience will be ruined when you play agaisnt a computer, which may result in a lower rating if you don't decide to play multiplayer in this scenario. However, while I recommend playing against other players in multiplayer scenarios at the full limit, if a scenario was obviously lacking in quality, then I wouldn't use it for multiplayer, since people would be angry at me for using a poor quality scenario in their game. But, when you don't play a multiplayer scenario with other players, you should do so only for the lowest quality of scenarios, like a scenario that has very few units, and virtually no detail at all.

Of course, a smurf name for yourself when playtesting a scenario could be used so that you won't earn contempt among the zoners. I would recommend one, since if zoners are constantly dissatisfied with your scenarios, then they won't come to your room to help you playtest your multiplayer scenario.
