Loved the map, the music choices were absolutely killer!

Updated. The game killing console bug is still in but added a warning at each console as well as freebies. Will remove once bug is fixed.

Actually the names were inspired more from my personal life. And yeah, I know it kinda slowed it down, spawning everything in so far away, but the idea behind it was that you could still push with what you had, but it became faster as reinforcements showed up.

I never tried using an unpowered SC, I'll have to test that. That might be a good idea for another map I have planned.

A nice adventure map. I enjoyed progressing through and discovering the different towns and secrets - thanks for the Easter egg! My only qualm is having to spawn units at the CC and then have them walk all the way to the end. I went away to make a cup of tea before the final fight! I liked the fact that you had to find/barter resources to get the units, and I the snow canyon map design, but the two felt a little incompatible given how far the units had to walk in the slow snow (especially the snipers).

I think the Soldiers Centre can train units without power, and if that is the case perhaps there could have been a Soldiers Centre in each town to train units from instead of having them spawn at the CC.

That aside I did enjoy the map overall and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next!

P.S. I get the feeling the names might be inspired by GoT and/or Skyrim? :)

Although, for a little bit of a challenge, It is entirely possible to clear the map with the units provided. You just have to push slowly for the finale and pull back if it gets overwhelming.

@Swat__Raptor, I'm afraid I can't replicate your issue, I've ran through the map 3 times via Steam trying different techniques but the shops work as intended. You may need to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

If anyone else has this issue, please let me know. I'm not sure why it should be an issue as it uses some very simple scripts, but if it is a repeatable issue with multiple players, I may try to restructure the Shop System entirely.

So ran through this map twice now
the game breaks when I goto the first or second market, place a unit by the station infront of the market, get the circle icon then click on the station, this makes the game freeze. are these shops which we should be able to interact with?

Ep. 3.5 Is out. There is no combat. Just a little bit of added story. Enjoy!

Map is updated! Added a few basic "hype-up" points to help with the dragged out portion. I'm thinking of doing a few walkthrough tutorials of my maps in the near future on Youtube to kind of showcase any extra bits of context that players may have missed on their initial playthrough of each map. I'll link my Youtube on each map when I decide to do this.

Thanks a lot for the feedback as always @Vireyda. I'll go back and fix the spelling errors and try to add a bit more scripting to the last area to make it seem less dragged out.

There are 2 Battery packs on the map. One gives +20 and the other gives +30. The first is one of the 3 fishing cottages in Krag, the second one is in a little area between Brekka and Skalfjor.

Bah you can't edit -- Forgot I did one battalion special b/f going in so not just the given...your final war message did make me a lil anxious at first :)

One nitpick: couple of glaring typos in one of Burke's first messages (which is why I noticed enough to remember to write it down): cautiosly> cautiously, quitened>quietened although muffled or squelched would be a better word choice.

I enjoyed this adventure map as well :)

The Jarsburg VOD mess looks so daunting but you really get how pwny Titans backed with some snipers/soldiers are with this map. That does drag the pace down a bit since you are kinda locked for a while when draining the VODs, but the music choice helped a lot I think - kudos on that.

I thought I explored most of the map, but I didn't get enough energy for the lookout tower- was at 20 when I hit it and I even got the extra snipers/soldiers and hit every extra building down alt paths I could find (nice to see your Lucifer-self as always!) .

I completed with the given units plus the small easter-egg bonuses, but once you get rolling in resources, it's easy to bank a lot of superfluous bonus troops since the special Sales are repeatable.

Really like the 'northmen' story aspect a lot. Looking forward to future maps!:lunar2019coolpig:

As usual, if you find any bugs or inconsistencies, Let me know. This map has a lot of story elements and when I came up with ideas, I tried to update previous scripts. So if I missed any, please let me know! Thanks!
