I just finished your Apranik campaign, I gotta say, it was really great! Very challenging, but in a way where you can always try things differently when you have to restart, and the map designs and game play were very well done, congratulations.
There’s just one thing that happened which was really weird in the last scenario: while Apranik was resting in a castle, her HP kept going down. I’ve never seen this before, and the other units garrisoned in the castle didn’t suffer the same thing. I wasn’t sure what was going on, so I took her out at one point when her HP meter was full red, and she died right when she was out of the castle. That was after the wonder had been built, so I missed out on her superpower for the last 10 minutes… I’m not sure if it’s just your scenario or a general game bug.
The automatic HP decrease is intentional. After you finish the Wonder, Apranik no longer has to survive the mission so long as your Wonder isn’t destroyed. With those insane stats, she’s intended to fight her very heart out to the point that it destroys whatever remaining energy she has. Historically, Apranik died in the middle of fighting the Arabs, so I wanted to encourage players to use her to hold back the torrent of Rashidun soldiers as much as possible. While she does still live long enough to cry her ending narration, she’s eventually incapable of fighting before you preserve the Wonder and ensure Persia will never lose its collective identity despite Muslim conquest.
@Ongarelli173, even I didn’t finished Apranik’s campaign - I’m stuck at the last scenario - I loved it, and I think that it’s one of the best campaigns ever made, and it can absolutely match with the official ones. I’m playing now Tomislav. You are very talented!
Am enjoying your very challenging campaign. Finished the first four – I really thought adding a “trash” naval unit was really creative and filled an omission in the other civs. Hopefully the devs will use your idea to have at least one other civ have a trash naval unit. So I’m getting stuck in Tomislav # 5. Are you sure you correctly labeled this a two sword scenerio? Would be interesting if you would post a play through on Youtube- I know Ornlu has done this. But wondering how you would do it. Also there are two others but both of whom I suspect won through using cheats. Any advice would be most welcome
Can you help me, I fulfiled everything in the first mission but the game tells me - “You’re Victorious” and then … there is no 2nd mission, I’m stuck with first (Dark horse). Is there some trick so I can advance into 2nd mission. What I did:
Destroyed all Magyars
Found relics and bring them to the pagan shrine
Trained 40 infantry + 40 knighs
Freed 40 horses and turned them to knights (this triggers “You are victorous” before I fulfill all tasks)
Destroyed Frank castle (this triggers “You are victorious” before I fulfill all tasks)
I tried but the “campaign” informed me that I could not advance because of “cheating”. Interesting, I looked at the campaign in editor, and all scenarios are there, but for some reason, I can not advance to 2nd scenario. Strange.
