A Fire Halo spell might be useful, but I am working to make it unusable. If you are playing either as Prospero or Ariane, the note you get when you pick up the artifact holds a clue to what you must find in order to accomplish it. If you are having trouble, here's a hint: the axe must be destroyed at all costs, otherwise Nekron and Kitaa will remain too powerful. Events are bound to be central to single play and cooperative play, as otherwise a map that consists of just 2/3 or 3/4 plain snow doesn't seem fun to play. Also, Item teleportation and telegates have been disabled in this scenario, otherwise players would just win in one shot. NB: as the scenario is unfinished, I have submitted it here only to receive feedback, as I have had no time or patience to playtest all events. I may go for creating unique conditions for cooperative play in future.ġ6 May: The artifact has been given a -4 resistance penalty, as behooves such a powerful yet cursed weapon.

Alongside Nekron and Kitaa mini-quests, mini-quest series for both Ariane and Renata have been put in place, alongside extra scripting to upset the balance in favour of AI players, so that human players can't train flyers so quickly. The only way to outwit them would be to destroy the artifact, as destroying it would severely weaken them (you can equip a hero with it on the other hand, and I suspect you might want to).ġ4-5 May: Took previous Ice-Age sequel to "Call to Arm" (exists in Aow2 HeavenGames downloads) and decided that small size of map meant a different approach to gameplay altogether.

Two wizards seek to claim it and bring it back to their capitals, another seeks to destroy it, and another two wizards may make use of it.Īlthough this scenario is incomplete at best (mini-quests are ready only for both Ariane and Renata), I made the AI exceptionally brutual, especially for Kitaa and Nekron (or Ariane in some cases). The storyline so far: it's a sequel to the scenario 'Call to Arms', except this time you are more constrained to obtain a powerful artifact.

In addition to Patch v1.4, the Heroes and Wizards V3.0 mod is also required to play this game.
