Map for Tote:Beowulf£¨Updated)

Hi, everone ,now I finished my first based on the movie Beowulf. I tested it a little myself but since there are plenty of scripts I cant test every condition. I want to release it. I will be glad if anyone has some suggestions.

Tips1: Since English is not my native language so the texts in the game maybe not well written and hard to read for you. I will appreciate it if anyone could give some advices on the texts.

Tips2; Some Mods that would affect the whole game:
      1.Changed the Texture of the Cyclops to Undead Cyclops(as the monster Gredel);
      2.Changed the texts of the dragon flame sword as Hrunting.
      3.Changed the texts of  horn of plenty as the Golden horn.
      4.Changed the Model of Wyngaal as the Unamed Dragon.
      5.Add Life drain ablities to Sareph.
      6.Change the Model of the sylvan military outpost as phoenix dwelling.

Edit: I want to thank to Warmonger and Vlaad who give me many nice suggestions on this map,and Asheera who helps me a lot in script and map making. Now I finished this map.
1.cut off the amount of the monsters
2.the recruiting function is more convenience to use now
3.enable build capitol in towns
4.add memory mentor on map
5.add some gold in some stacks of monsters.
6.remove the circle under the creatures which will involved in a quest


=======================================================================

the lastest vision 1.2 can download here now,I am not sure whether everything is OK though I went through the map myself, so I decide to post it here,will put the map on map4heroes a few days later if nothing gets wrong

Hopefully I'll start the tests tommorow

EDIT: So far it's great, even though on heroic stacks seem ridiculous compared to capacities of my army.

I just won a battle against some Arcane Archers and the game said "mission failed". LOL Didn't autosave so will have to restart all over. So far so good though. There are spelling mistakes and graphic glitches (e.g. terrain under one of the knights in front of the town), but it's no big deal.

I already love this map - combat replay

However, there is an issue with mages teaching spells. Actually some weeks they do so, sometimes they not. Either way, the message box pops up.

Also, at the very beginning I had a hard time finding the way to the land, but probably that's only me.

You are going to add new tooltips for custom objects, right?

First I want to say thanks for the test.

@Vlaad, the War Lord in the army can not die, as you can see in the mission description(he is Wiglaf). as the terrain I will fix it.

@Warmonger.Thanks, I already find out the problem with the script and gonna fix it.

right, some custom object is special for quest only.
btw, the link you offered doesnt work for me.

The link or the file?
File may not work as I use a lot of mods.

I'm wondering how to pass two packs of wolves somehwere in the middle, they must be a part of some quest?

Also, at the moment I have no idea how to defeat hundreds of Black Dragons AND legion of Familiars in the stack blocking my way to where I guess my quest ends.

BTW, You can follow Fiurs guide to remove circles under stacks which are not supposed to fight.

The link.

Now I see I set a too big amout of creatures on the road, sorry, would fix it .

As for the wolf region, have you got the wolf's quest? It can be active only after you finished  the woman's quest.

Edit: Thanks for the link

Edited download link is anyone's interested.

Now looking forward to somewhat more balanced version of the map, looks like I'm stuck.

Well, I will edit the map after collecting some feedback, looks the amount of the monsters must be cut.

thanks for testing the map.


Edit :BTW£¬ except the black dragons with familiar, how about the other creeping. are they too hard to play?

On Heroic such maps ere expected to be too hard, some batles may turn out to be impossible if planned wrong. At the end there will be freaks who pass them no matter what you do

Still, at the beginning I got kinda lost, didn't know the options and suffered from lack of spells. Once I obtained some top dark magic spells it was much nicer, but the stacks grew dangerously big.

You know, there's no way to face hundreds of shooters without Mass Confusion or Black Dragons without Vampirism while your army is inferior and consist mostly of walkers.

I see, is cutting off the quality of the monsters .not much experince in making such kind of map. I used to play a lot with humanplayer, soldem play single mission maps.

just wish it would not turn out to be a bad map when I submit it on maps4heroes

From top of my head: You may want to disable growth for quest stacks like Minotaur or lost child.

Also, creature traders could let to buy more creatures at once if you have enough money. Not nice to clik for Wolves 10+ times...

but the question is that the script QuestionBox only offers two choice: yes or no, maybe I can increase the stacks you can buy at one time.

You may first check the amount of all cash player has, then display message with this amount calculated in some resonable way.
For example initial proposal could be to spend half of all cash, if player refuses then in loop ask for half of previous value, but not less than these 3000 or something.

You can use a more complex dialog box function if you want, I explained it here (4th post)
