Lords and Ladies,
Welcome to my latest adventure in the Chronicles of Zin.
This map Has 10 missions with a total of 27 objectives to achieve And a grand Siege at the end. This has taken over 2 yrs to design develope and play test, I think you will be happy with the results.
8 years past
Playing as a child, while your father visited the other Lords of Ka'Nan Island you got to explore the wonders of the Island. Finding all the shortcuts,secret passages, invisible skyways over the walls,running the rapids all across the countryside and even more exciting the secret passages and hidden trap doors from the basements and seamingly solid rock of the other Lords castles. You still cannot explain the disappearing bridges though.
Ka'Nan Island fell into dark times when your Father was murdered. Escaping into the woods with your Uncle Olaf & younger brother and Sister (Lady Seren,Hawk)A group of villagers take you into their homes.Hidden in the wilds of the island
Present day
Pushed into the last area of wilderness of the Island by the ruthless kings allies, It is time to fight back and take what is rightfully yours.
This map is designed for the advanced player/partial tester :) I have beat this map 4 times now. But random things keep making it unbeatable
******* UPDATE SECTION ******
Unstoppable random glitch #1
Bulls troops Randomly kill Lady Seren making mission 4 unbeatable, So when you start playing until you rescue her you have to keep checking to see if she is alive before you save. Once past her rescue it does not matter dead or alive
OR
Download new version and start again 12/2/12
#2
If you Kill Olaf you CANNOT rescue him
******
SAVE NUMEROUS TIMES EVERY DURING EVERY MISSION YOU COMPLETE IF GAME CRASHES OR BECOMES UNBEATABLE DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN IT DOES NOT LIKE IT.
1. SAVE OFTEN = 3-5 different named saves per mission, you might want to try things different when you get to the next area. My last time playing through the map I had over 100 saves.
2. LEARN HOW TO USE PAUSE PLAY FOR
regroup after attack
Change building types
Check map for advancing troops, Never become numb to the warnings. Goes along with hint #4
3. There is more ways to play this map than you will ever find.
4. You are never safe
5. There are numerous ways into each castle
6. There are layers and layers of short cuts all across this map, some work some do not.You just need to figure them out.
7. Use the ERASE TOOL, it is a weapon that I have given YOU the player
8. When monks finish bridges is crucial
9. Cafeful filling in moats :)
10. There are little bits of your land all over the map, Build walls on these and logs to clear new paths. Some are large enough to place a tower and maybe a weapon on top of it.
11.TIMING
To slow enemies pile up making it a long drawn out siege type map.
Steady forward progress map works flawlessly.
To fast and things get weird. Still playable and very exciting, But game starts to crash.(Usually when you kill a Lord and gain his troops. REMEMBER WHAT TROOPS OF HIS YOU GRABBED WHEN GAME CRASHES. DO NOT GRAB THOSE AGAIN)you can narrow it down to the exact ones it is and use all others around.
There is also 1 Optional Mission with keeping Olaf alive but it is not a win condition.IT IS HOWEVER A LOSE CONDITION.
Mission after you rescue olaf. If he has an open path to his Home, he will start walking. Keep him alive.
Troops leg movement has ceased to work. Troops still move and you do not see them fight. Over 2 yrs scripting and I am not going back to see where and why these animations stopped. Unless FF can provide a fix, I would not even know where to look
Never kill Olaf he is your Uncle
Please if you need help anywhere please ask in here I will check it often.
Grand Siege info:
It was added as a kicker after I had defeated the map the last time. It is untested
If you make it to be King you have Officially beat the map. I not even sure the 10th mission GRAND SIEGE is beatable. I am going to go test the Grand Siege now.
Ally Estates set to help you fight will also change the way the map plays drastically

Yes for some reason the legs quit working. there is over 2 yrs of scripting into this map and to go back and try to find where and why legs not working is unthinkable.
Read above Hints they will assist you alot.
This map was made to challenge ME the designer.
If you have not played any of my other maps you might want to go try one of them they are a build up to the scripting on this map.
You will be surprised who attacks you from where depending on what you do. If you open certain paths the King will start to attack you.
Do not think you are going to run forward and defeat this map?
If you race forward you will be slaughtered!!!
My maps will make you think.[Edited on 11/03/12 @ 07:18 PM]

I've seen that bug before on other maps where the units lose their animation. Started happening after the last round of patches. |

Playability: 5
(Very good, interesting and fun)
Balance: 5
(Good balance but this castle in the end took me a long time. Mostly because of there are no machines and heavy soldiers. This in my opinion was not so good.)
Creativity: 4.5
(Creative but the way to take Olaf and his castle without equipment is not my favorite. That is why 4.5. It took me 2 hour to gather necessary troops. Tower and castle design brilliant by the way 5+ (Olaf) & and red also great. Took me a moment to figure out that there is mout :)
Map Design: 5
(Nice looking map. Last mission 4 is not working. I kill Olaf in M3 and map cannot be finished.)
Story/Instructions: 4.5
(interesting and not so easy. Troops are attacking from all sides so it makes it very challenging. Non standard ways to kill enemies. Very good design. )

Now edit is booting me into that loop Doom :)
Hello fine Sir Krzmal
Thank you for your great review, It is greatly appriciated.
Yes fighting your way down the beach is the hardest way to rescue Olaf.
Two ways to help
1st way
Kill Lord Grey while he still has Siege camps. You gain what hw was going to attack you with
2nd
There is a place that you can run a group of Macers to and rescue him also. You just have to find it. it is quite easier :) A huge rolling army is not always the best answer.
Olaf is Neutral or Ally never kill him.
I shall also paste this hint into map intro once I can
Thank you again.
I have play tested this map hundreds of times and it has never played the same. there are numerous avenues of attack to each AI Castle.
I have been working on the Advanced Assault version of this map that will not allow you to set and build. More of a struggle all the way through.

I played this, but that animation problems on the populace does bug me, not ure fault however, just wish it wasn't there, ruining the experience a bit, how come though the loss of animation only happens on ure map and no other? is it THAT unique :P. |
