wesnoth successive game

[haphazard1]

Very nice work, Lewwyn.

Yeah, the whole "instant reinforcements" thing is obviously designed to catch us out of position. One fugitive and some level 1 fodder lost is a very good result from all of that.

On the new scenario...ok, so we get a loyal lich? And we have to defend the dwarf king -- the guy who has what looks like 1 health left? Wonderful.... I hate "defend the idiot AI who will do everything possible to get himself killed" missions.

Small keep for the dwarves, not good. Is that a cage north of the dwarf king? Wonder what that will produce?

I also note we have the immense sum of 100 gold. So much for our hoard of thousands. Overall, I have to say I am not liking this new scenario much.

Loyal lynch gryphons, ogre, and trolls.
1hp and alot of nice dwarf guards about to die.
the cage is for the lich we need to kill turn 1

Well we only have to kill the brother.

looking at our recall list was the dwarf fighter that died loyal I can't find the bugger

Um you called it. His 1 hp leader charged the 30 hp troll




he hit once for 19 damage and then died.

I will be reseting and trying again. I don't think that we should have to end the campaign because of the damm AI failing.

Yeah, I really hate missions like this. It is a complete dice throw, no skill involved at all purely luck.

Completely agree.

Try number 2

turn 1

murder the lich with the two white mages and the great mage.

turn 2

move mages and recalls back

turn 3





see a wave of gryphons and trolls charge out.

The enemy had 600 gold and our ally is out of gold already. we are going to fight an enemy who has 6 times the number of units we have .

Darn you game fork over the gold you stole from us.

This looks...challenging.

I guess we should steal the dwarf's villages. We will certainly put them to better use than he will.

Gryphons...what are they capable of? Does this mean we need to keep units around the dwarf king to prevent them flying in and slaughtering him? Or maybe just use one of our healers to get him back into decent shape?

[haphazard1]

3 turns played, not especially exciting but some progress has been made.

Turn 4

- Advance the three mages to the bridge in the east, kill an enemy or two.
- My wraith avatar claims the village south of the ford for defense and healing, hopefully to hold the area until reinforcements can arrive from the north shore. He feels a little exposed out here...25 health is not very much if a troll gets lucky.



IBT our dwarf allies use their berserk special ability and die stupidly. Taking on targets that are as tough as you are and that hit harder, and then using an ability to keep cycling combat rounds? Let's just the say the dwarves have taken a few too many blows to the head.... Anyway, every dwarf that enters combat dies, except the one who steals the XP for the 1 health gryphon, and he is immediately killed by the enemy anyway. Stupid dwarves, stealing XP we could use.

Turn 5

- One of our dwarven steelclads kills a gryphon in the ford, promoting to a dwarf lord. Are our guys like a different race of dwarves or something? Because our guys are actually useful.
- The three mages at the east ford get three kills. I did have to leave Fire&Ice a bit exposed in the water to do it, but he should survive. I expect the dwarf just north to run in and distract the enemy a bit while dying, anyway.



IBT more dwarves go berserk and die stupidly. They did manage a couple kills this time, although only of injured units. From the south we see an enemy red mage appear -- keep an eye on him.

Turn 6

- Two more kills at the east ford for the mages, with a little help from our troops finally starting to arrive from the north.
- My wraith avatar gets a kill, approaching a promotion and hopefully a few more health points.
- Our dwarves have made it across the ford, and another of our dwarf steelclads gets a kill and promotes to dwarf lord. Good choices on the unit recalls, Fire&Ice.



IBT Sister Sooooo is killed when a level 2 troll gets lucky and hits on both swings. She resurrects, but well over 100 XP lost. Also, the units revert to their original names when killed.

Green is looking fairly gassed, no new units appeared this last IBT. Our dwarf ally is out of units other than Stalrag, stupid berserk idiots. I have stolen all his villages so we have some gold coming in if we can get Bruindane into the keep south of the river. Or we can save it for the future, I don't know how much more is ahead of us in this scenario.

I am leaving town and am losing access to wesnoth for a bit. So I can't play another turn till next saturday-sunday. Whatever you end up doing enjoy.

[haphazard1]

Have a good trip, Fire&Ice!

I am going to be rather busy myself this week, and family will be visiting next weekend. So my availability is going to be sporadic during the week and zero over next weekend.
