It is a tough game, even at normal level, which corresponds to about hard level in the original game. I did do most of the final island, but perhaps there the difficulty step upwards may be too much at hard and impossible levels.

Landscape building is very good, I didn’t get anywhere above ground the feeling that I had seen this before in the original game, except perhaps for the final island, which was built from the same material as the lizardfolk island in the original. Already in Crossworlds it was the island I liked least. Hopland was familiar to me from another mod, but it has ideas and features that Katauri never used.

The mod is relatively short, which is a good thing, since KB games are long. I’ve played them for hundreds of hours, but I rarely play to the end after I’ve once seen that it is possible. Years ago, there was the talk that WoTN isn’t as good as Crossworlds and that Darkside was even worse. It is a pity that we now have a new and fresh game made from the Crossworlds material, Trent War, that is as good as the Crossworlds was, but nobody seems to care.

The start of this new campaign is interesting Maybe you will develope further this mod?

[raknefne]

Only patches I think. I don't like too long games myself...

[Erkilmarl]

That reminds me. If you ever have spare time...

1) I have in two games tried to enter the little house in lower Trent castle area that is between two other houses, Citizen's House. Both times the game has crashed. (Third time today. Plus the Storage there seems to be empty: It has the building sign but nothing happens.)

2) When Brylhar gives Amelie the quest to search for the (stolen) goods, Amelie says. "I will slay those pirates guarding the cannon" which of course belongs to a Jerneland quest.

3) I have only now paid attention to upgradable items. Many guardians seem to be too strong for this short game.

For me the length of this mod is good. Perhaps some day we'll get another mod?

1. I see, it doesn't crash in my games, strange. The storage is just for the scenary, nothing to buy.

2. There's a cannon where they are, actually, just like in Jerneland... but I'll check the text.

3. I haven't touched the upgradeable items at all, so it make sense to check them out. It is rather easy to adjust, I can just reduce the strength of the enemy by... 40% ???

About other mods... well there hasn't been much interest up to now, so it is not on my priority list right now... the thing I'm working on now, the small random project I mailed u about, I don't know if I will publish, we will c. I'm having a break with modding right now.

Are you playing again`? Which character / difficulty?

Thank you. You should ask in another forum, have no clue.

I guess 40 % would be fine.

I have two games. One normal where I am in Lower Trent but I haven't had any luck with the resurrecting troops or the Phantom spell. I put that game on hold and started another game in easy mode. I haven't had much luck in the above mentioned things either, but the opposition isn't too easy, since I made a rule that I may not use Glory above level one. The game is relaxed and now I'm trying troops I normally don't use. Oh, I'm still having Paladin as a character.

The item Raven seems to have no dialog script. Trying to talk with it will cause the game to crash.
