(1) What difficulty levels and game versions have you played the scenario on? Lord (Difficult) 1.18.5
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10) 7, lots of close calls
(3) How clear did you find the scenario objectives? Clear
(4) How clear and interesting did you find the dialog and storyline of the scenario? Good but lacking
(5) What were your major challenges in meeting the objectives of the scenario? Rotating slow units around in narrow spaces
(6) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10) 7, kinda annoying to fight trolls in chokes but it works out
(7) What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more fun? None, maybe slightly wider chokes, but it's okay
I recalled 2.5 keeps of units, including 6 frontliners (maulers, highwaymen), 5 red/arch mages for attacking, 1 white mage for healing, and a silver mage and outlaw to accompany Jessene to grab villages (not sure if these were worth it, again, and it was a hugely risky undertaking). I had the lawful team (Haldric, maulers, Edren) go towards one leader, along with 2 red mages, and the neutral/chaotic team (Burin, highwaymen) go towards the other, along with their mages. There isn't alot in strategy specifically, but it is important to be very careful in rotating units so that they don't get killed from the retaliation + counterattack of enemy units. L2 trolls and grunts are the easiest, as they can be blasted down by a red/arch mage in 2 turns, and can't deal enough damage to kill them (if they start at/near full hp). Rocklobbers need to be weakened a bit first, using healthy melee units (who need to be very careful of counterattack damage), then blasted with a mage, then immediately covered by another healthy unit. Overall, the need for all units to be at or near full hp led to very slow going, but I still finished on turn 15 with decent carryover.
Results:
4 arch mages, 1 great mage (3 total)
175g carryover
