Re: Scenario 5: Blackwater
(1) What difficulty level and version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on?
1.14.5, Corrupt (Challenging, 224 gold
(2) How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
7
(3) What did you think about the dialog and story?
Good.
(4) What were the major challenges you faced?
Lack of healing. Realizing that one has to be really aggressive at night, even if it means putting yourself into the sand and vulnerable.
I played this a few times until I won and found there is lots of variability given the horsemen and lots of units being in poor defensive terrain. The RNG can cause big swings.
I think this scenarios calls for a larger supply of walking corpse cannon fodder than I used.
(5) How fun do you think the scenario is? (1-10)

(6) What suggestions do you have to make it more fun?
Nothing comes to mind.

(3) What did you think about the dialog and story?
It was good I read it
(4) What were the major challenges you faced?
I expected it to be really hard but somehow it wasn't! I let them come to me during the day, pushed forward at night and somehow their line was broken by the second day/night cycle.

The last enemy unit I had was a horse that had waded into the water to annoy a bat I had sitting in a village. It was silly that he didn't help his team, and chasing him down with a force strong enough to reliably kill him was annoying. I don't think there's anything you can do about that, though.
