Wasteland Expansion (Beta)

This content is again in beta and under surveillance. From now on, Wasteland Expansion introduces the Lizardman's return as a playable faction playing alongside the Nomads. Expect to find unbalanced things that are supposed to be corrected in upcoming patches.

This expansion will feature the return of the Nomads as its own race in the world of Athla. Nomads as a race have been included in the project in what began as a campaign project only, where I finally decided to expand the content further with a new race. Most of the planned nomadic content around race has been included and integrated into the campaign, so they are playable and fully set up.

So far, players will encounter bugs and traces of what could be the remains of the Human race. There could be abilities and requisites that can be leftovers from other races. The Nomad race strives to be balanced in comparison to the other nine vanilla races available in the game. So any inconsistencies that may seem inappropriate should be reported.

This is the campaign following the after story of what happened to the outlaw faction Nomads. You will progress the campaign with two different leaders and move on Athla's world map together simultaneously with the characters. The Wasteland Chapters follows Sundren's and Edward's campaigns simultaneously in the background, explaining a story point from a different view. You will encounter familiar characters and new faces as you progress with either hero. The Wasteland alliance is the main faction in the story, and on the world map, your colour will be orange.

I'm developing a series of scenarios that are taking the original campaigns of Elven Court and Commonwealth a bit further. This by adding a third story branch that follows the same timeline as Edward and Sundren's stories. Reynald and Tanner will be the main leaders of the story, and you will intervene with both characters in almost all scenarios.

Released scenarios:
Mission 00 – Jungle holdout
Mission 1a – Pirate coast
Mission 1b – Monster hunt
Mission 2a – Storming the fronts
Mission 2b – Green infiltration
Mission 3a – Perilous alliances
Mission 3b – Glory for the brave
Mission 4a – Desert warfare
Mission 4b – The smuggler's route

Mission 4d – Tale of the firstborns
Mission 5a – Sundren's revenge

Released scenarios of Horn of Kesh:
Final Mission – Horn of Kesh 6a (Reynald)
Final Mission – Horn of Kesh 6b (Reynald)
Final Mission – Horn of Kesh 6c (Reynald)
Final Mission – Horn of Kesh 6d (Tanner)

Unreleased scenarios:
Mission 4c – Placeholder
Mission 5b – Placeholder
Final Mission – Horn of Kesh 6e and (6f?)

Each scenario utilizes new things and progresses differently with scripts. For example, the player can only use one leader at a time and progress with fewer heroes on each main story branch.

The campaign only uses base content available from the original game and DLC. This ensures compatibility and does not force players to use other mods only to play this campaign or depend on other mods to receive updates.

To further establish the content of this campaign, I also intend to add custom things. I will make this out time, but the priority is to finish the campaign with its story, while the new content will be secondary and included as a bonus.

Released content so far:
Nomad Race
Lizardmen Race
Royal Tent Dwelling
Syron Dwelling
Avian Dwelling

Things needed to be done for later:
Balancing the Nomad racial lineup
Tuning some icons and models
Altering, balancing and improving the racial governance tree
Updating the campaign content with Nomads
Finishing the Horn of Kesh mission
Adding more and new abilities
Revising text and grammatical errors

The English language is not quite the best currently, and there should be plenty of mistakes grammatically. If you find a mistake, I would be happy to apply changes if you discover something quirky during your playthrough that is either by the quests, story or dialogues.

If you get stuck in a scenario where you cannot press a button or cannot continue at any given moment, please report this, and I will do whatever I can to fix it quickly.

Regarding balance for the campaign difficulty, it is set to be around intermediate for Reynald's story and hard for Tanner's story.

This mod reuses story content from the original campaigns of Triumph Studios, such as screens, maps, characters and background content. World maps were made using the psd* template provided by Triumph Studios for custom campaign creation.

Custom characters are all part of this campaign and, in scenarios, provide a fun experience for the AOW III universe and community.

Cheers and enjoy
