		9) A Small Favor, Pt. 3

		Challenging, 1.9.2

		This scenario was ridiculously easy. 4/10

		Scenario objectives were easy. I was expecting Darken to turn on me at this point though.

		The storyline and dialogue were clear.

		No major challenge. Hell, no challenge at all to be honest.

		This scenario was so short, you can't really call it fun or boring one way or the other. 5/10.

		To make this more fun, uh. Make it longer, or more challenging.

		No event gave cause for retrying.

		--blank--
		Darken Volk wandered into the bottom left corner, and got stuck there for a little while. The doors wouldn't open for him. After the objectives changed from getting the book to exiting the cave, he readjusted course and started moving properly.


		10) Alone at Last

		Challenging, 1.9.2

		This scenario was HARD! Omg. Four enemies. 9/10

		Scenario objectives were clear.

		Storyline was drawn to a satisfying conclusion here, imho. Dialogue wasn't very clear as to whether or not Darken Volk really felt like turning on Malin, but Malin made that point moot by his vicious assault.

		The major challenges I had on this one was crossing the river, escaping with the book, and staying alive with the damn paladins chasing me. Those mounted units are vicious!

		This scenario wasn't terribly fun, just because of the sheer difficulty factor. 5/10

		No cause for retrying, unless I wanted to 'attempt' to salvage some of my high powered units.

		--blank--
		No bugs to report


		11) Descent into Darkness

		Challenging, 1.9.2

		This scenario was tough on my dark acolytes. They got PLOWED by those trolls.

		Scenario objectives were very clear.

		Storyline was clear, though I find it odd that Malin went from an noobling necromancer to a Lich, the pinnacle of necromancy, of all things, in such a small time. The dialogue made you feel sorry for Malin, and then triumphant when he lived on.

		My major challenge in getting the objectives done here was the fact that my experienced units had been decimated in the last scenario.

		This scenario was fun. Those poor rats got OWNED. 8/10

		To make it more fun? Give us a new unit here. Something cool, like an undead troll that hurls blobs of guts.

		No cause for retrying.

		--blank--
		No bugs to report.



		12) Endless Night

		Challenging, 1.9.2

		This scenario was tough because my forces had been decimated, and I didn't manage to salvage anything but a ghost from the last mission. 6/10

		Scenario objectives were clear.

		Storyline was clear, and the dialogue gave me a smile. Foolish hero, ain't that the truth?

		No major challenges in completing the objectives, other than overcoming the sheer MASS of the enemies I was after.

		This scenario was great fun, giving me a chance to build back up my strength. 7/10

		To make this more fun? Uh. I don't really see any realistic way to do that.

		No cause for retrying

		--blank--
		No bugs to report

	7)		7) A Small Favor, pt. 1

			Challenging, 1.9.2

			This one was tough. I lost one of my bats! That hurt. 7/10

			Objectives were clear.

			Storyline was clear. The dialogue was very fishy. I could tell something was gonna go down with Darken Volk.

			No major challenges in completing the objectives.

			This scenario was a slaughter! Those guys had NO chance against my level 3 units. 8/10

			To make it more fun? Uhm. That shock guard was pretty over powered, imho.

			No cause for retrying, unless I wanted to save my bat from oblivion. I didn't bother.

			--blank--
			No bugs to report


			8) A Small Favor, pt. 2

			Challenging, 1.9.2

			This one was a bit harder, the tight spaces made my hit and run tactics hard to pull off. 7/10

			Scenario objectives were clear. Wasn't terribly hard to find the big magician guy. He went down in two shots, if I remember right.

			Storyline was clear, and the dialogue sparse. Left you pretty much fully in control, which was nice.

			No major challenges in completing the objectives, other than the tight spaces.

			This scenario was challenging, which made it all the more fun. 8/10 for fun factor.

			To make it more fun? Maybe magical traps or something, for your units to wander into. That'd be cool.

			No cause for reloading.

			No bugs to report.

			6) Return to Pathryn

			Challenging, 1.9.2

			This scenario wasn't honestly that hard. I assassinated the traitor guard, bum rushed the orc leader, and ran for my life! Not a single loss that I could tell. 5/10

			Scenario objectives were clear, if you actually read them. Which I didn't. Caused a reload. Details below.

			Storyline was clear, but the dialogue was just plain cruel. This guy Malin is getting it from all angles, and all he wants to do is help.

			No major challenges in completing the objectives.

			This scenario was great fun, I rather felt bad for the orc enemy when my guys got to him...one shot much? 7/10

			To make it more fun? Um. No real suggestions..maybe make the orc boss harder? He didn't last long.

			I had to retry after the first turn. I got my guys all set up to decimate the traitors' guards..and I tried killing them BEFORE I killed the traitor. Scenario failed. Time to reload -.-

			5) Orc War

			Challenging, 1.9.2

			Scenario was rather challenging. Three on one much? 7/10

			Scenario objectives are rather hard to misinterpret. Kill, kill, and more kill.

			Storyline was clear. The dialogue made me laugh, an orc trying to be smart with me..huh. Malin's speech was lengthy, but it added rather than detracting from the story, imho.

			No major challenges in completing the objectives. Twas rather hard to hold the lower bridge without sacrificing my minions.

			Make the dark acolytes less squishy! I never managed to level one up, always died..

 Later it says, "Shortly a man dressed in the robes of a necromancer emerged from the trees. I think maybe it meant ‘a short while later,’ or, ‘Shortly,’ with a comma.
