Preamble

This is a test of "Delfador's Memoirs" on Great Mage (Hardest) difficulty. Due to the fact that I have already playtested this campaign before on Normal Difficulty, this test is being done under a slightly different set of criteria which has been quoted below:

  1. What difficulty levels and what version of Wesnoth have you played the scenario on?
  2. How difficult did you find the scenario? (1-10)
  3. How does the scenario compare to Normal difficulty level?
  4. What, if any, are changes you would have made to the scenario to make it more difficult?
  5. Were there any particulary good/bad strategic decisions made by the AI?
  6. Was there any event that caused you to lose the game and forced you to reload or restart the scenario?

Scenario 1: Overture

  1. Windows Build Version 1.9.3. Great Mage (Hardest) difficulty.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
  4. N/A
  5. N/A
  6. N/A

Scenario 2: The Valley Belongs to Me

  1. Windows Build Version 1.9.3. Great Mage (Hardest) difficulty.
  2. Difficulty: 6.
  3. This scenario appears more or less the same as the equivilent on Normal.
  4. I would suggest making the Normal version easier, as it is currently already a tricky scenario.
  5. I noticed that aside from a couple of scouts, the bulk of the AI's units reached me and attacked during dawn which put it at a disadvantage.
  6. None.

Scenario 3: The Road to Weldyn

  1. Windows Build Version 1.9.3. Great Mage (Hardest) difficulty.
  2. Difficulty: 4.
  3. Scenario is not significantly harder than Normal.
  4. The AI should be given some level two units, perhaps Goblin knights would be appropriate.
  5. AI did not attempt to withdraw during day, and sufferent devastating losses.
  6. None.

Scenario 4: Leollyn

  1. Windows Build Version 1.9.3. Great Mage (Hardest) difficulty.
  2. Difficulty: 7.
  3. This was moderately harder than on Normal difficulty.
  4. No changes are needed as difficulty is appropriate.
  5. The AI decided to attack from the water after I set up a defensive position at the edge of the forest. This gave me a considerable advantage which more than made up for the AI's ToD and unit advantage. A human player would likely play less agressively and attempt to attack my flanks which would force me to decide between speading my forces thinly or allowing the enemy to gain ground.
  6. None.

Scenario 5: Council in Weldyn

  1. Windows Build Version 1.9.3. Great Mage (Hardest) difficulty.
  2. N/A
  3. N/A
  4. N/A
  5. N/A
  6. N/A

Scenario 6: Swamps of Illuven

  1. Windows Build Version 1.9.3. Great Mage (Hardest) difficulty.
  2. Difficulty: 7.
  3. This level was significantly more difficult compared to on Normal.
  4. No changes to difficulty needed.
  5. The AI does little to take into account terrain, attacking from swamp or water with low defense units such as thugs, and is reluctant to retreat during the day when they are at a significant disadvantage.
  6. Delfador died several times, this was due to me failing an overly ambitious counterattack.
