Holy beans, this feels like a master level quest. Very difficult. Can't quite figure which combination is the best to use. I think maybe getting the enemies to attack after 10 days would be better than 5, because I keep getting rekt. I ended up doing well with paladins lol. Get ya blacksmith up to level 2 fast, and get paladins. I used 3 warriors guilds to get paladins.

@AngryPoet - thank you!

Love it! Great work :)

finished in 57 days with like 20 balista towers around my castle..

@Gumli - Thanks for the feedback, there was one line of code I forgot to remove that was preventing the victory condition from triggering. Should be fixed in the latest update.

Quest doesn't end. I destroyed all of the lairs and killed all the monsters on the map, it didn't give me a victory message. After a while, a new goblin fortress spawned along with some fighting monsters, destroyed them again and it still didn't finish.

That was around day 60 and I didn't have any mods active.

@5M0k1N - Ok I think I figured out what is causing this issue on some of my files. It's trying to load a file that isn't there when you try to load the saved game. I will try to push through an update on my quests where I see this happening.

@5M0k1N - Is it giving you any specific error message when you try to load?

i can play them just fine its just when loading a game i previously saved game would just freeze or close

@5M0k1N - Are you getting an error when you try to load, or is it not showing up on the list of downloaded maps?

i cant load games on your missions any ideas what it could be? have no other active mods, just maps

5/5/2020: Made some balance changes to this quest and improved the lair spawn locations, monster spawns & behavior, and other misc changes.

Now that it seems to be working...the quest in game when you load it says "Beginner". I would probably change it to "Advanced". Good quest.

Thumbs up.

Works just fine now!

@Vas - For some reason there is a bug with the AI not being aggro - it works when I test it, but apparently not for anyone else. I'm gonna have to keep trying to fix it.

It was an interesting quest though. By the way, there is no win conditions. I destroyed every building and unit on the map, even yellow. Every single enemy gone.

I would label this quest "Beginner", it wasn't even remotely difficult at all. I felt like I was playing a relaxing sandbox game. Though it seems thats because of a bug that causes only vampires to attack heroes while everything else is friendly until after you place a reward flag.

If you'd like to make this harder, after you fix this above issue, you can have the enemies of the team you place a reward flag on immediately send all units to your kingdom in an attack the instant you place the flag, and then forever on in intervals after a number of them has been reached.

To further increase difficulty, tie their spawn speed/amount to the remaining lairs. Each layer you destroy makes the others spawn faster and in increasing amounts.

Even more interesting if each lair you destroy also makes the others increase in HP making them harder to destroy.

No, but tried it now and still got the same problem. Maybe someone else should test it too.

@UnderCloud - Ok, one last question - are you currently using [beta2] when playing these quests?

Not even the whole undead team, only vampires are attacking me. No, all teams are friendly to each other. Yeah, yellow monsters ignore me and the other sides buildings (only dragons attack them), and they are not recruiting any heroes.

@UnderCloud - I'm not sure why only the undead team would work - I did the same fix for all the monsters. So I'm stumped, every time I playtest it, it is working as it should. Do the monsters fight each other at all?

As for "Through The Storm", in that quest the AI team is on your side, the only enemies should be the monsters in yellow - are you saying the monsters do not aggro you in that one?

Trying without mods. Now only vampires act like they should, interesting. All other monsters still ignore my heroes, even goblin towers are not shooting. Things only change after any bounty, no matter if it's on monster or lair. Your other quest "Through The Storm" has the same problem. I hope you will find a solution, as these quests are going to be really fun for sure. Thanks for trying.

@UnderCloud - Alright, I tried a new way to set the AI as aggro in the latest version.

@UnderCloud - Are you using any mods while playing this quest?

Still the same.

@UnderCloud - Thanks for the feedback, I hadn't experienced that myself while testing the quest, but I went ahead and made some changes which may fix that issue. Let me know if you are still experiencing this problem after updating to the latest version and restarting the quest.

My heroes ignore enemies, and they ignore me. :) When I put bounty on their lair, then they start attacking me. So quite a big bug.
