Stage 3 is doable on hard, use either gale grenade or spore grenade to take out one sniper and transference to deal with the other. Then I used sedative + supportive fire to take out one of the heavies and rabid bite to deal with the other.

Thank you for this very nice set of levels.

.... is stage three even DOABLE on hard?

this was so good! i really enjoyed the feeling of epicness that came from the narrative, especially seeing the second level for the first time and going "wait. how the heck am i going to get them out??" then eventually, after much trial-and-error, figuring it out. well done!

Yeah, I'm with everyone else, this is a great level! The second room was indeed very difficult, especially playing on hard, but it encouraged some creative thinking utilizing the thrown abilities of the teammates in the cells , among other things.

Massive bonus points for presenting not only cool rooms, but a cool narrative - this absolutely feels like a level that could've been in the main game :)

Cool level!

Challenging. Love it!

Really impressive! Very tricky. Cleverly utilizes a lot of features. Loved the one with the prison cells and the neutralizing fields.

Everything good you've heard is true. It's a really great, really hard series of levels. At first I thought level 3 was literally impossible to beat without starting mana but it was and the solution was really satisfying. Tough as nails but a great way to round out my TBW experience. This is canon.

Level 2 is really great. It's kind of sad that people can't conveniently replay Level 2 alone with different perk combinations. Maybe worthwhile to make it as a standalone mission.

Level 2 is the highlight of this custom map. More difficult than anything in the base game, but very fun to figure out. My only nitpick is that I couldn't find much use for Jen and especially Dall. Level 4 is basically just walking and could be cut imo. Still, good concept and solid execution overall.

Very fun set of levels; nice job! For most of the game, I saw Zan as more of a support character, but the first 2 levels here really show off how well he can survive on his own. Level 2 seems way harder than the other 3 levels, but it's also such a cool map that executes the prison break concept extremely well, so I think the difficulty works there. I think I didn't start the level well enough, as I got bogged down for too long before releasing the prisoners, but instead of resetting again, I managed to clutch it out anyway in a tense last stand after dragging out the battle for 11 turns. The challenge made the escape all the sweeter! Level 3's opening puzzle was fun too, and the finale was a cool scene. Those levels were a lot easier than Level 2, though saving all the allies in Level 4 helps add a little more challenge (maybe that should be an objective for the map). Great job with this whole mission!

Fantastic work. Really enjoyed playing through these. The only thing I'd like to see different is if the doors in Stage 2 would be sealable. I think it would fit the theme a bit better.

Really enjoyed this mission- it provided a nice, thorny challenge, although I had to bump the difficulty down to Standard for Stage 2. I agree with other comments that the focus on using False Prophet was very interesting. Nice to see a Zan-focused set of levels, and it proved a fun experience!

Das a lot of heavy machine guns! Keeping tactical wizards in jail must be no joke.
Very nice, just a little dissapointed I couldn't broom breach the sniper by the window in level 2.

Would play again.

Cool idea, map 2 has been an interesting challenge, although it has gotten a bit tedious by the end of it.

Also it played right into my build so I didn't have to respec the perks :P

A super fun map to escape through, which really tested my knowledge of how the enemy AI viewed Zan's False Prophet echoes. I was able to beat it without taking damage, but it took a lot of rewinding each turn and I had to restart the second level completely as there's just too many armored enemies to safely take down without some really good thinking and angling a few attacks in unconventional ways.

Overall great level, I wish there was a way of adding custom dialogue so there would be a bit of story to it, but it's super good! I could see a level like it being added in the base game!

Excellent Custom Levels.
The 1st and 2nd maps are particularly tough ones to puzzle out but make good use of throwing things through windows.
Thematically very good, especially the final map.
Only flaw is that there is literally no music on any of the levels.

Fun 4 level romp. The last level was probably to easy on account of all the friendlies.

Very funny and challenging, specially the 2nd scenario

Loved the concept. Enjoyed having some levels with a feeling of pressure to them.

The designer definitely went for the "more is more" approach with this one. Be prepared for clogged hallways, endless reinforcements, tons of mines and grenades, and foreseeing 12 or more actions.

Pros: excellent use of the theme, especially returning out the way you came in (with new enemies and hazards), and the scenery change for the final escape.
Cons: can be a slog to make it through the enemy hoard (especially the 2nd stage).

Overall: While it can be a bit frustrating, I'll recommend it for those up for the challenge.
