SoL-defence bug. If my leader is standing on the recruiting hex of the northern castle when the Chaos leader appears, then my leader vanishes. I can continue to play without my leader, but once I kill the Chaos leader I will be defeated, presumably because some algorithm is checking whether my leader is dead before it checks whether enemy leaders are dead. This scenario was not contrived but arose in the natural course of gameplay. The player is supposed to "avoid conflict" and it makes sense to evacuate to a safe distance, such as a faraway castle where I might be able to recruit units if need be.
To Lands Unknown, an Arabesque adventure of stunning background art, mobile summoning, and strong storytelling.

Hello, I'm playing the campaign and I am at "The Outpost" phase. The objectve to this mission is "escape the battlefield", I did all I could in the map including trying to escape to all borders and killed all the foes but nothing happened, if you can help me I'd thank a lot.

I've just released version 0.2.7!
This version contains 7 finished scenarios, and 2 more are planned for next week. Please post any bugs/error/gramma mistakes here.

Great campaign so far, I came up to Stronghold. I have one problem so far: Since Dark outpost, round 25, every saved-game is damaged, I can't load it.


I have one example here:

I have no idea what causes that... Happened to me too, but in scenario 6.

I had the same problem in Dark Outpost. Manually saving a game is a workaround, they won't be corrupted. Hrm, but after Turn 5 of Stronghold, I can't save a game either. Even manually, they're always corrupted.

In Stronghold, Ricardo is an IDIOT. He runs up and attacks the strongest guys possible, with no units to surround or protect him. He's rather vulnerable to attacks and gets himself killed. I don't have enough time to put troops in front of him, and sometimes even when I do have troops in front of him, he just skirmishes around them so he can kill himself. Can you change the AI for this somehow? This is total baloney. This level is just an exercise in save and restart, it's so stupid. I've got lots of high level guys too, it's not like I'm some greener to Wesnoth combat. I kill almost everyone and Ricardo still gets himself killed, for nothing. All he has to do is sit back at the palace and he'd be fine.

I'll fix that next release.

Move Ricardo to the gohere sign, that should end the scenario.

going into debug mode reveals an "image not found" where the gohere icon should be... Looks like someone forgot it. :o
