Scenario: Orania Nasty Edition

[Peter Ebbesen]

Ouch. Just tried a game as Marignon with 16 impossible AIs. Everything went well until I went for Ashen Ermor's throat around round 25. Massed friars and inquisitors backed up by crossbowmen and knights of the chalice mopped up all before me with nary a casualty...

...Until I ran into Ashen Ermor's main army. Which apart from the usual hundreds of fodder featured about 10 Dusk Elders and Spectators, all of them with plenty of death gems, who cast multiple shadow bLasts straight into my formation.

Seing 35 knights of the chalice (and 20-30 crossbowmen, but who cares about them) destroyed in the first two rounds of combat, THAT HURTs!

This is great fun.

I like to read the script of others (a part of it, I dont want my fun too much spoiled):

#commander "Witch"
#comname "Baba"
#addtroops 10 "Hama Dryad"


u sure addtroops is a valid command?

No, it is not - it should be units. Good catch, fixed in next release.

Version 0.7 is now up for download here

Changes from 0.6:

Increased features from 50 to 60

Abysia
* Zarkal the Warlock exchanged for a Telestic Animate to prevent the AI from moving the commander away stopping devil summoning (silly AI)

Arcoscephale
* Dupond and Dupont are now Watchers rather than members of the silver order to prevent the AI from moving the commander away stopping draconian summoning (silly AI)

Jotunheim
* Now starts with the Summon Winter Wolves spell

Man
* Baba the Witch exchanged for a Hama Dryad to prevent the AI from moving the commander away stopping Lamia summoning (silly AI)
* Man now correctly starts with 10 Hama Dryads in the Bewitched Forest (#91)

Your work is greatly appreciated Mr Ebbesen. I copied some of your mapfile and put it into other maps with good result. Seems you've come up with a very good concept.
