AOE2:DE - The Last Khans Campaign: Ivaylo 2. An Unlikely Alliance

[@edireland8983]

I assume the relic in the corner is to de-facto disable the relic victory mechanism without having to set it to a conquest victory, which would stop the wonder working.

[@stygn]

I think this might be the case as well. Then, for some reason the counter is bugged so that the value of 0 is assigned to -1, so that you need 4 relics to get 3/3 relics. Basically, the value of the numbers are shifted 1 value towards negative. It's a minor bug, but I'm guessing there's an achievement involved, so getting the achievement before the bug is fixed could be a cool (or rather frustrating) challenge.

Looking up the characters in this campaign led me to a fun Wikipedia wild ride!!

I wonder if he eventually will have a speaking role in the campaing or his presence is just an historical easter egg :)

It's funny how your brain works. A normal person goes through the campaign following the lit spots (in the beginning). Then you can not avoid finding the church first. As soon as you find the church the 'gather relics' side mission is triggered. Since you went the other way around, unlike 99,9999% of people playing this, you collected the first relic before the mission was triggered and ended up with -1 relic after you found the church...

[@Santi._.403]

This campaign needs to be revisited, the campaign is definitely a lot more challenging now xD

[@salvadordollyparton666]

yeah... lil bit... the whole time I've been like what the hell? if i could just do this, it'd be easy. i just had it, set up 3 kreposts to keep the green at bay, totally destroyed the cyan, had a great economy going and a pretty decent army left over, even after literally everybody joined in when i was fighting the cyan. didn't pay attention to the clock or whatever, and was defeated. for like the 10th time. took a minute to even figure out what was going on, just kept getting defeated and had no idea why.

[@tupacshakur5868]

Its not really challenging, you just set up 2 castles infront of your base and fill them with some archers, there are no trebs so this holds the enemies for ages, you just need to remember to send 1 unit every now and then to the wonder to reset the timer

[@thunderreef]

When you first started, the enemy didn't start with the wonder countdown of 200 days, and it wasnt unfogged. When you restarted, the fog of war was lifted from the wonder and the enemy did have the 200 days countdown. - looks buggy/glitched currently :D no idea for the relics tho

[@filthydelphiacreations1619]

You're absolutely correct. Something was wrong and the team is looking into it to make sure this doesn't happen on release.

[@jwpark3693]

The timer starts even before Ivaylo meets the Tsarina. Did I do something wrong? That makes this mission pretty difficult.

[@georgigeorgiev4871]

Please consider 200 years is a lot of time. Most of this time enemy has no army there. Just run with a scout to restart the countdown. I managed to do it by walling off the section just south of Tarnovo, putting a castle and funnelling the enemy into it. When I gathered army, I rushed the Green (East) and walled off his bridge to the rest of his allies so I could trade. That left me with only 2 opponents and I could either clear or hold the Wonder.

[@jordinagel1184]

So, I’ve found a rather annoying bug here: I had captured the church of the patriarchs, and when it fell into enemy hands for a few seconds because they had more units closer to it, I recaptured it, yet the timer neither reset nor continued. It stayed at 64 years and didn’t change, no matter how long I waited. Is that supposed to happen? Would be pretty douchey play from the developers to say “You didn’t pay enough attention for a few seconds, now go destroy the enemy camps to make the mission take twice as long”

[@warking1962]

The same happened to me. I even got to gather 60 units near the church but time never went down. Only Ivan counter kept going down. Tell me, bro. Was it a bug? Could you fix it?

[@Lgrneto]

Play this map again, something was wrong. When you start at the top corner and get to the boat, the countdown of the church starts immediatly and you have to build economy while being attacked from three sides at the same time. I lost two times in a row because I was busy defending and forgot about the countdown

[@DYLANJJK94]

This game was the best one of my childhood and became even better in HD. (Remember the red and green pixel water on the original version ?) I like one simple thing from the game best, You can continue to build walls whenever you need if you have the resources, Even if you're boxing your self in to try and save your town.

[@asawanted]

I just played this level on hard and the game goes very different. First of all the relic at the begining near your monastery is supposed to be in the green monastery. This green one has 2 and the yellow have 1. Also this looks as if your playing on moderate difficulty cz on hard I was getting non stop attacked with a considerable force. Took lots of tries to manage this.

[@georgigeorgiev4871]

That was probably due to him not finding the Wonder at start like most of us.

[@helelix5790]

You didn't land your transport in the lit up spot. if you did so you would've passed the monument and triggered the relic objective before obtaining the city. So as you said, its a bug but you didn't play the scenario as intended.

[@HousedHorse]

They should add all difficulty levels up to extreme, at least with respect to AI difficulty. I don't see a reason why not.

[@hck4339]

THEY SHOULD NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF VIPER!!!

[@Chenla]

You have to think about that not all players have the skillset of the Viper.

[@Essebas]

@@Chenla well, they (we) don't have to play in extreme. But also more challenging campaing helps to get better players

[@rainbowevil]

@@Essebas the problem is that if you have a campaign mission and allow the extreme AI, you would at least need to test every level is beatable with that AI - there may well be situations where even a perfect players couldn’t win, like if you only get given a set number of units and the enemy produces way too many units and the counter of yours. Another issue is that some AIs in campaigns don’t actually use normal AI to operate, instead being told exactly what they should produce and at what rate etc. Adding additional difficulties would mean they need to add in additional rates and again test that the campaigns are winnable & at about the right difficulty.

@@hardnrg8000 I played plenty of mods and custom campaigns, you can increase the AI difficulty by other things instead of adding another difficulty level.

The animations are okay. It's a bit dumb that the buildings get damaged over time then appear brand new for a couple seconds during the destruction animation.

[@hardnrg8000]

They don't look like brand new, the damages are there but the fire animations do snuff out. Which is imo a good way of telling that the structure is now basically dead although it stands, so you can start reacting on moving on right away to next most important targets instead of letting them just autoattack pointless targets that are next closest to them if you didn't have time to keep watching the health bar of said building all the time while focusing on microing other stuff around, the fire suddenly snuffing out sticks quicker to the eye at the corner of your screen. Sometimes, precious seconds can be important.
