mechanically and from a flavor stand point this campaign is good, except the use of abysmal AI narrators and shitty map lay out. getting units onto transports is a fuckin nightmare with all the shallows, jutting docks and akward shoreline. 6/10

this scenario said that you get automatically a transport ship if the first was sunk
you lied on the hints
i had to restart the mission because i couldn't transport my troops:cf_girl:

Hammister, I cannot get the 8th Feidoria. I have explored the entire map and have 7 Feidorias the only other one belongs to the Viceroy. I have completed every mission and would love to finish as the scenario is awesome.

I've been looking for a good scenario to play and I found it. It was a pleasure to play and even though it was a long one I didn't get bored. I enjoyed the plot and the map was wonderfully designed too. Great work!

I love these kinds of campaigns, sailing around! I am trying to make my own in the same style and the map editor and triggers are so fun to play around with! If any1 knows a great guide for doing landscapes then message me :D

A good scenario, I spent 8 hours playing it!

Thank you very much for this wonderful work.
Exellent mapbuilding, wonderful atmosphere, engaging storyline and that voiceover......
Only complaint: no further scenario's!
Hammister  [author] 29 Jan, 2020 @ 4:36am 
@ gestern bronze! Unfortunatly there is a rare bug where the Main quest does not start for no reasons...
EasternBronze 28 Jan, 2020 @ 11:15pm 
I love this scenario! Unfortunately I think my playthrough is bugged, I have all the Fetorias but I still haven't won. Even so, this map is gorgeous and I had a great time!

i like your work, waiting for your next masterpiece
Hammister  [author] 4 Nov, 2019 @ 9:40pm 
Bruns- Thank you very much. Try out "Thrones of Iberia". Maybe I will do some stuff with the release of the new edition!
Bruns 4 Nov, 2019 @ 3:48pm 
I love your work, specially lord of the steppe, highest hall and far side of the world, please make more scenarios like this ones!!!!!
La Hire 31 Oct, 2019 @ 8:17am 
Awesome work, really enjoyed it, thank you !
SamNotsowise 26 Sep, 2019 @ 12:33am 
The scenario was bugged, I redownload it and started over and everzthing worked just fine. It was a super fun. You did some awsome job right there :)
Hammister  [author] 25 Sep, 2019 @ 5:17pm 
Muad'Dib- After completing the first quest, you should always get 2 new transport ships at your home town. Maybe the spawning point is blocked with another unit?
SamNotsowise 25 Sep, 2019 @ 12:27pm 
Lost my transport ship and didn't get a new one ? Is it a bug or do I have to do sthing in order to get one ?
Safe-Keeper 22 Sep, 2019 @ 6:27am 
I've just barely started playing this, and it looks amazing so far. The production value is high and as someone who loves boats and seafaring I think I'm really going to like this scenario. Great work!
DoomedPaul772 2 Sep, 2019 @ 10:03pm 
Finished the scenario after more than 5 hours, never saw a monk mission.
warrior_stefan 4 Aug, 2019 @ 6:32am 
+rep
would play again!
the hole in the ship is tough, especially if you encounter it early in the game.
if you find some real voice actors that would be dope

dovahkiin dragon: Thank you very much! Regarding your question- the monument in the jungle has no gameplay effect.
dovahkiin dragon 18 Jun, 2019 @ 12:48pm 
A very enjoyable scenario! took me almost 4 hours, one question tho, was there any point in the wonder you can capture, because i didnt see anything come of it?
Son of a submariner 15 Jun, 2019 @ 1:34pm 
An amazing scenario!
Hammister  [author] 12 Apr, 2019 @ 8:30am 
Major update for the scenario. Fixed some minor bugs. New media files included!
hazns 7 Apr, 2019 @ 4:21pm 
An impressive work. Unfortunately a bug does not let me finish it. Also, the Chinese pirate mission does not show up in Objectives, and I can not seem to get the monk mission. As a subjective remark: I understand that the key idea is to recreate the thrill of discovery, but I felt the lack of a main objective from the beginning. It might sound idle, but even something like "subjugate the Indian ocean" would motivate me to explore every last bit of the map, while, I have to admit, after the first hour I was just trying to cheese the scenario by petard-sniping castles. Indeed, the bug did punish me.
Hammister  [author] 22 Feb, 2019 @ 9:21am 
@Lit Dragon- You can heal your troops at several ports- but a monestary and monks are not available to the player.
Lord of Iserlohn 22 Feb, 2019 @ 6:20am 
is there a way to get a monestary and some monks?
Hammister  [author] 30 Nov, 2018 @ 3:12pm 
@kommisar: no. It was just a fever dream inspired by the book "life of pi"
Siniana 30 Nov, 2018 @ 2:56pm 
Love the scenario, but is there anything more to that secret gold in the southeastern part of the map before you reach the end of the world or is it just the message?
st.eam 30 Nov, 2018 @ 11:38am 
I skipped everything by destroyed the grey ally ship with 8K+ HP by attacking ground using bombard cannons... If the ship could respawn as the lost transports that would be solved. Cheers

Damo 26 Nov, 2018 @ 1:54pm 
I enjoyed that scenario very much! :D
che guevara 24 Nov, 2018 @ 7:43am 
Güzel
st.eam 18 Nov, 2018 @ 3:23pm 
I enjoyed a lot! Had to delete the stuck land army inside feitorias 11, also the army is too strong so those mini battles are not very intense...
Guardian1996 9 Nov, 2018 @ 1:08pm 
@lachlanhomework,
That's why you are adviced to save often... :steamhappy:
Loch Ness 5 Nov, 2018 @ 6:20pm 
First a amazing scenario. Only extremely minor problem is i would recommend making the hole in the ship heal you to full first. Because if that thing catches you and you ahppen to not be at full you are done
HAMY 26 Oct, 2018 @ 6:02am 
very nicely made 10/10
Hammister  [author] 20 Oct, 2018 @ 6:05am 
Thank you guys for the feedback!
@Tex- sorry for the technical problems which occured on your playthrough. Ships getting stucked on land happen due to the aoe2 hd engine. You can delete feitorias if they "block" your units- they will respawn.
[BOO] Tex 19 Oct, 2018 @ 9:56pm 
5/10 your units can easily get trapped by the spawning ing buildings, and ive even had my ships end up getting land locked somehow. Content is good but so many issues on the technical side.
AkaiHoho 19 Oct, 2018 @ 8:19pm 
10/10!!
ANIL.01 12 Oct, 2018 @ 12:33pm 
very gut
NKEP 8 Oct, 2018 @ 6:56am 
cool
Hammister  [author] 24 Sep, 2018 @ 8:54am 
albie_123 thank you for the very nice feedback. I`m glad you enjoyed your journey on your ship.
blep 24 Sep, 2018 @ 8:22am 
And yes, I think the bug was happening because I didn't play on standard speed (I was playing on x1.5). Next time I'll make sure to play your scenarios at 1x speed. :)
blep 24 Sep, 2018 @ 8:20am 
For whatever reason that bug stopped happening - so I got the chance to play through the scenario. Took me about two and a half hours, and just wow. Had fun every step of the way, not too challenging but just challenging enough that it made you think about what you were doing. And the map itself was gorgeous. The diversity of it made it so good - discovering Japan and China felt like entering entirely new locations.

Absolutely incredible - your best work yet. I wish scenarios like this existed when I was a kid.
Hammister  [author] 24 Sep, 2018 @ 6:36am 
Albie_123 I can only guess, but try playing on Standard speed. Sometimes different messages can appear all at once when you are able to achieve more than one goal at once. If you have missed any inportant messages try reading the text in your chat/diplomacy window later.
blep 24 Sep, 2018 @ 3:18am 
I'm getting a weird issue where the log entries appear really quickly one after the other, and the voiceover starts overlapping (with three or so lines playing at once). I actually have this issue on all your scenarios (which are otherwise fantastic). Any ideas on how to fix?
The Watman 18 Sep, 2018 @ 9:13am 
There is a Mini-Series of Shogun that i think is still on Youtube. Based on the adventures of English navigator William Adams, who journeyed to Japan in 1600 and rose to high rank in the service of the shōgun, becoming the First Western Samurai.
