New Campaign: A Seed of Evil
Moderator: Forum Moderators
I just started playing through the campaign. A couple of comments:
1) In the current version, the blues start the game as enemies, so that my best strategy was to back down into a corner until the blues and the yellows had softened each other up, then came from behind, killing the leaders in the order King, big Orc, small Orc. This had the result that the "treason" dialogue happened after the king was dead.
2) I had the invisible thieves as well (Fedora Core).
3) I'm currently stuck on the shadow mage level -- the near infinite number of enemies is quite nasty. (I don't understand the dialogue 100% in that episode... Strangely, I can recruit shadow mages and thieves...). Any tips?

hmmm, I'll have a look, the lastest one i updated to the server the blues should be allies untill you kill the first boss, i have no idea about the invisible thieves, and i think i allowed you to recruit shadow mages and thieves after "Dispatched to the border", if you are running a older version it maybe that it hadn't had the gold turned down. I believe if you just survive all the lvls. up to scenario 6 with the enemy shadow lord etc. They slowly get worse and you always get 200 gold on the harder 1s, my tips were for scenario 4 and 5 was to recruit just spearman and use them to survive with as a buffer between your leader.
Most of the dialog is broken as i haven't had the time or the energy, it is mainly because there have been extra spaces say between the Enemy leaders names and that is no longer allowed, and please if someone has played all the way through at least the 1st 3 lvls. can you pm me with revisions of the story part at the start (the text). I plan to try and make my own story images, which i will then digitally butcher and hopefully make half decent.
If anyone has any decent ideas to follow the campaign through i will implement them. Like l'ultimo cruco did. As you probably have guessed i'm not a creative genius but i have done ok so far but any help is really excepted.
The treason dialog will be hopefully sorted out by the allies actually being allied for part of it. The only scenario which should work or does work on my comp is the first 1.

An old thief.cfg file was included in the units directory. Delete that and it should fix the thief problem.
Hope springs eternal.

A Seed of Evil seems to be broken. I just downloaded it (Wesnoth 0.9.2). And after installing i get the following error message:
unexpected #enddef at 24 /home/stephan/.wesnoth/data/campaigns/A_Seed_of_Evil.cfg 25 data/game.cfg
Error loading game configuration files
error general: Error loading game configuration files: 'Missing closing tag fortag campaign at /home/stephan/.wesnoth/data/campaigns/A_Seed_of_Evil.cfg:1 included from data/game.cfg:25 at data/utils.cfg:174 included from data/game.cfg:5 included from /home/stephan/.wesnoth/data/campaigns/A_Seed_of_Evil.cfg:9 includedfrom data/game.cfg:25' (The game will now exit)
Everytime I try to start Wesnoth after installing your campaign it repeats this messages and quits:

Deleting your campaign from the data directory solves the issue, but its still an annoying bug

One problem is the following code in the main cfg file of the campaign (A_Seed_of_Evil.cfg):grochti wrote:A Seed of Evil seems to be broken. I just downloaded it (Wesnoth 0.9.2). And after installing i get the following error message:
