Is this by following the dialogue though mate?
Because, i follow it to the T.
How can i cross the blood river, without a boat or a builder?
Thx

I will record a video for this map when I have enough time.

Damn! Then there's a serious bug...

I'm looking in to it now, hope I find it.

I don't think there have a bug...
I will finish it once again.

I played it once again. If you don’t use ships to activate ememy quadtriemes ,you surely can destroy all emeny structures(eg.fortress,walls) and units and get all towns within 55 turns.

lol..you sure we're playing the same map mate?

"If you don’t use ships to activate ememy quadtriemes"

What ships? I only have the one stuck in the pond..

Unless you mean, if you dont attack them, they wont attack you? I havent tried that yet, although i cant see a trigger that would do that, when this map was designed.

Battle of Blood River.
Greater transport/adv warship next to dock.
Left side greater transport is only let your units go down.
When you get the town in lower part east, the john dock/adv warship and greater transport become yours.Use pikeman or not important units as a tank.
I recorded the video,I will post it and let you see in few days.

Done.Part 1

Part 2 is also done.

Ah tam youre a star!

Looks like im just not very good lol. Those boats are very aggressive against me, but at least I know its doable

Thx mate!

Well tamtam12345, looks like you're pretty good at this game.

But sorry to spoil you fun guys, I've fixed the map so the TC and dock can produce units.

It turns out that I used the "Remove Obj. Type from Buildables" trigger to stop Player 1 from building bridges and ruining the map, but unless you have an "Add All Default Buildables" trigger first, it stops that player from building anything.

Enjoy!

It will make the map very easy.

Well..maybe only workers and transports.
Or put in a trigger to say youve lost, if the transport is destroyed. As it was...I didnt know

So do you think it's better or worse now? Have you tried the new version of the map?

If the town centre and dock don't produce units, I may not see a point in having them.

Tried but you haven't update it.Still disable towns and dock.
Disable dock and towns are useful in this map.Dock used to let swordman and pikeman to defence/attack triremes.



Disable towns still have effect heal hp when units inside town.That is very useful.

That's weird, the developer said it was updated.

I was thinking, but ideally, I don't want to place players in a situation where if they don't do something, they're stuck and have to start again.

What would you say if I kept the buildings activated, but increased the number of triremes that spawn (and decrease the number of units you get at the start)?

Still disable... Maybe my phone problem...
I think if you enable it, you need to make some triggers to disable to create transports/greater transports and workers.

I have an idea, what if we deactivate both the Town Centre and Dock, but only for 5 turns? If you fail to stop the ships, the dock will be destroyed, but you will have a chance to rebuild afterwards.

I think that is very difficult to be done by triggers because you never know how many turns other players reach into town.

I think you can set when any emeny trireme go to certain area(eg. Lowest 3 water area tile),towns and dock will anable?

Obj(s) in area trigger would do the trick

Good news guys!

I managed to get the trigger to deactivate the town centre and dock in "The Battle of Blood River".
Let me know if it works better now.

Also, I've made a couple of changes to the ninth map, "The Verge of Despair".
Would you guys be able to play through that and tell me how long it takes for you to get through?

Once they're ready, I plan on publishing them.

Win in turn 37.I use workers to build a stone bridge to pass through left river(without get the right town). Also, I use assassins to destroy two castles.

I think "The Battle of Blood River" is a bit too hard. With all these triggers it is unbalanced when you compare it to another maps in this campaign. Not impossible, but I haven't completed it yet. Died 2 times before 3rd castle.

Edit: Latest update with castles enabled is more balanced. I think tamtam12345 would say it's too easy now.

I beat the battle of blood river on my first try with no castles... It wasn't too hard I did not think. (Although I went like 20 turns over the limit lol).

I've tried to play again the whole campaign and gain all 3 stars. But now "When the Shadows Ride" is unbeatable. It's now impossible to win under 35 turn limit.
What's weird, when you win in e.g. 36 turns it says 30.
Bug or triggers?

I've noticed that in several maps, that it says you've done less turns than you've actually done, I think it's a bug.
When it said you won the map in 30 turns, did you get 3 stars on it?

When you said 'castles' did you mean the Town Centres, there are no castles on that map...

Also, it is meant to be fairly hard, as i'm only planning a few more maps after this.

Yes I mean TCs.
Map is now excellent. The whole campaign is great.

Yes, I won and got all stars.

Hmm... then there is definitely a bug...

Hey guys!

I'm just wondering, but would you guys be able to play the ninth map in the "Kingdom Come" campaign (The Verge of Despair), and tell me how long it takes for you to win the map?
This will help guide me on how long to make the star turn limits.
