So are you saying that if you don't get food, all of your characters start to starve and die? thats great! Perhaps you could make it so that if you don't particularly like one of em they could miss a few dinners and die out

I am surprised, never expected something like this to pop up, can't wait for release.

The Gods have left us, therefore making the old world crumble and turn into ashes...

But as the gods return, from the ashes of the old world, shall rise a more beautiful and powerful new world, and life will begin once more, if they hadn't closed...dang you ES.

Will you succeed where others have failed?
I think I'm going to fail where others succeeded, but it looks very interesting.

Why would you fail? Just keep trying, experience is everything.

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

Most of the major systems are in place (i.e. Experience/Levelling, Shops, Food/Health, Treasure) just need to finish off some of the story based triggers, add more embellishments and do the cinematics.

I'm hoping to get it finished in the next couple of weeks. I'll try to update this thread every few days so you know how it's developing.

If I ever do a multiplayer game I'll have to add that in

Thank you, hopefully the scenario will live up to your expectations and the wait won't be too long.

When I've been playtesting, if I'm not careful I lose half the group after a couple of worlds, so even I fail despite being the one who created the scenario. I'm planning on implementing Difficulty Levels either by starting lower difficulty levels on a higher character level (e.g. Easy = characters start at level 4 . . . Titan = characters start at level 1) or modifying enemy units.

Looks very good.

I wish there was a way to include variables in text, so if you typed "check xp" it would say "You have XP"

That is possible with a condition Chat Contains = 'check xp' and effect QV Send Chat from nottud's trigger pack, however it's not needed for this scenario as XP = Favour and once Favour = 100 you level up.

I might use something similar to check what level the characters are at, but I'm going to try something else first.

Hi Valuax, I don't dislike you, I just didn't want to design a scenario with you after the problems we had that I mentioned in my last email.

I am appreciative of your review as I am of all the reviews I have received, I hope you'll enjoy this scenario just as much.

I do extensive testing myself and have a couple of playtesters at hand so I hadn't intended to recruit any more playtesters. If I decide to go for more playtesters you'll be at the top of the list.

The buttons in the Leader picture? That's using the Choice Dialogue effect. There's the standard one that comes with AOM:TT (not sure if part of vanilla) or there's one that allows you to use QVs with it in one of the trigger packs.

@ HealyWorks
No worries, happy to help out a fellow scenario designer. I found it when I was looking for a way to do shops in my first scenario.

@ Everyone
Thanks for all the encouragement. I've updated the progress and features list. I'm going away this weekend so I won't be working on this for a few days. I'll add character bios and more screenshots next week.
