I added a script which fixes the negative experience bug. Now anyone can play TDS with ghosts, and have millions of them, with good experience.

What it does?

1)If any of your stacks have experience less than zero (bug), clicking right on the creature will fix the experience at ACE level (11th). Works ONLY if the stack is negative experience (to prevent cheat)
You can use it  in Chaser map, as the same bug occurs there as well.
2)It also fix your hero level at 50 if he reached 109 and drops at zero. It happened me several times in TDS. This way you can play unlimited time and have an henchman level 1 million if you want. Your hero will still improve.

One general option is bugged. If player choose to let AI heroes patrol unlimited (remove the 15 squares constraint), Xarfax becomes invincible if he gets experience. His supreme archangels resurrect unlimited and can not be killed. I killed them 100 times, 100 times they came back. I will remove this option.

Salamandre

Anyone can give me a few hints on the chinese text I posted in previous post? Those are henchmen abilities and I can't solve them.

It seems that AI heroes upgrade even never fight.
The bug is caused by the random ability of the second henchman, that is supreme archangel. If it learned both "resurrection" and "cast magic illimitably", it is invincible. But its ability may changes when you load game and attack it again.

I am close to finish the map testing before starting working on correct translation. So far I played and finished with 6 races, it remains Gem. I had several bugs with Orrin, as he could not trigger the boat to get the captain hat. It seems that the variable 1009 which holds the current player got lost after a few months and the shipyard will not be own. I added a command which will restore v1009 and now it works. I also added a cheat menu which:

1) It gives the 4 orbs ( I had bugs where air orb is not given after building grail)
2) It gives the 4 tomes
3) It opens the blue tent (I had bugs where the border guard did not recognize I killed one hero or another
4) It gives admiral hat (I had bug when the boat was not triggered)

Only to use if player played for hours/days and he is stuck. Personally I hate having a cheat menu but I think it is a possible solution, as the bugs came to me 15 hours after I was playing and game was lost. What anyone thinks?

The map is absolutely amazing and I had BIG fun with everyone.  Specially with Xarfax which was a real tank. Of course Azrael is the best but he is cheap (necro) so it becomes TOO easy: It may be necessary to rework just a little on Azrael manual upgrades as upgrading skeletons to warrior skeletons costs a lot, while at hill fort is free.



I had problems with dialog boxes, as they all do not display. Sometimes they can be replaced with regular ones but a few times I can not, so I must think at a solution.
So far it seems to me the 4th difficulty is impossible, as I could never play with neutrals X 4, I died always on first day. But the second level is acceptable. Of course the first two days are the key and the most difficult, once the henchman is level 2 things change in much better. Playing with huge ghost/skeletons stacks is not much handled by the game and there are strange things, as troops vanishing or doing 1 damage. I finished with Azrael with 40 millions skeletons, but they could not deal more than 1 damage, but their clones were ok, so I won with clones.

I love the plot/story even if I do not understand big thing. The different ends for everyone is a must. Is Yunnings around? I would like to ask him a few explanations on the story.

I don't know how to explain it in english.
For example, 100 pikeman attack 100 drawf, after several rounds, there are 20 pikeman left. Usually hero can cast resurrrction on pikeman, the magic can save at most 100 pikeman. But if the drawf have ability of Cataclasm, when it attack 20 pikeman with ability of cataclasm, the magic resurrection can save at most 20 pikeman instead of 100.

[/quote]In fact, the 4 points are not problem for me. I didn't stuck at these any more. But cheat menu may be helpful to new players.

Yunings often comes here. But if you want to contact him. You'd better write email at this address  <yunings@gmail.com>

Unlimited leveling, I stopped clicking when I was 1647 and shut the game. A first time see:

It may end at

level 3732
or 5920
or 6424
or endless

I have a problem:

Gem opened the way to the angel wings, but the knights can be fought (disabled). When I attack the angel my troops do not deal any damage (the creature can't be hit). Do I miss something here? I have invincibility suit, black orb, I visited the tree.

When I fought the 5000 trees I had the same problem until I equipped the wizard hat. But now the wizard hat is gone.

I know you are defeated, but the game is not over, because Gem will awake with all her troops the next day. And your final mission it to defeat Xeron.

Salamandre

Ah Ok, did not understand. I hate losing a battle when I leveled my first aid tent to level 108, and now is gone

Indeed, the angel is invincible. So Gem will be defeated. But the next day she will appeared by the tower. And then she was sent to fight with Xeron.

Maybe you can try to protect the tent with force field till all your troops are killed.

I was kidding about the tent, who cares, game is over, I won vs Xarfax easy.
Now starting the last test, with the hidden race.Any hints of what it does? it says this but not sure I get the righttranslation
