Getting the trolls to engage me on my own terms, so i could be on hills while they are on flat, which worked.

It was nice to have some humor in with Gronk's troll-speak.

(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
None, really.

(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
4, it's really just a breather scenario for whatever comes after it.

(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
Well, it's supposed to be as simple as it is. It's all good.

Are you kidding?

Hardest.
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
Very easy. However, after taking a peak at the next scenario, I think I over-recruited this one. On the other hand, I finally leveled up some guys (3 including the leader, and one more that's close).
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Good. Funny.
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
None. I camped out in the small hills for 1 turn and waited for the trolls to come to me, which they did.
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
I liked it.

(1) What difficulty levels have you played the scenario on?
Battle for Wesnoth 1.8.3, Easy/Medium/Hard
Content Feedback wrote:(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
2 - Easy Peasy
Content Feedback wrote:(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Clear
Content Feedback wrote:(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Clear. The troll's dialog is quite funny.
Content Feedback wrote:(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
Trolls regenerate. However, as long as you have gold enough to recruit more units than the troll so you can outnumber then and make attacks 2-to-1 and 3-to-1, it's okay.
Content Feedback wrote:(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
6
Content Feedback wrote:(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
More difficulty. Some terrain for the trolls to have advantage, but I know this is difficult because trolls and dwarves benefit from pretty much the same terrain types.

No

(1) What difficulty levels have you played the scenario on?
Easy and medium 1.8.5 and 1.10.5

(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
This varies between a 4 and a 7.

(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?


Very clear.

(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?

Funny.

(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
I tend to keep my lvl2s out of this one given the fact that Trolls pack a punch and fight in gangs. I have an issue with the randomness of Dwarvish Thunderers so have tried an alternatives, usually Scouts/Fighters or Scouts/Guardsmen. But apart from this its the usual issues of how many to recruit and how much XP I can get.

(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)

6. It's fun in a sort of 'puzzle' type fun.

(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
It's okay as it is.

(8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?
A few.

(9) If you know a bit of the Wesnoth Markup Language - do you think that the WML of this scenario is clear and well commented? If not which part would you like to be documented better?

(1) What difficulty levels have you played the scenario on?
Hard 1.13.8

(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
3

(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives?
Clear

(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario?
Clear and somewhat amusing.

(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario?
Winning the scenario posed no challenge. Leveling a few level 1s without anyone dying was slightly tricky, but a decent defensive formation and retreating a few units low on health was all it took.

(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)
7. Its a fairly unique level, one of the shortest and smallest scale in any of the campaigns I played. A quick clash that's over before it can grow to old.

(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun?
None.

(8) Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?
I won easily my first playthrough, but given how short the scenario was I restarted it twice to try and get through without any deaths. Of course my other two attempts only had a single unit die, so I could have easily sucked up such a small loss, but it was such a quick scenario to retry I didn't see any reason to not see if I could improve my tactics a bit.
