Really a campaign, that has fascinated me so much, that I translated it into German language. Crusard, do you remember, that I've added an advice for making a save at the end of the first map in this version? I missed it, too, like it is said in Psychobabble's map review.

But, nevertheless, it's a successful outcome in the German Fan sites Drachenwald and MM-World. Thanks!

Glad to hear that Koni. I just *might* make some sort of sub-story map, with Kryllic (the vampire from Ranodyl) as the main character, for the Equilibris map contest. If the equi core team works a bit harder, that is.

Hmm, now that I read the again review I think it's very negative. I think that since PB doesn't really play H4 anymore he might have rushed a bit when playing Champions. For example, he mentions two side quests for the third map, while there's 7 instead! (Bad Mushroom, Infestation, The trees of knowledge, Dragon's slumber, The Half-Ogre, The Lost Souls, and The farmer's house). Well I don't know, maybe we just have different tastes.

Give me a break Crusard. The review was already 1000 words long, I never mention every single quest in a map and certainly not in a reasonably large campaign. Take a look at the score - not too many maps get a 9. I didn't rush the map at all - except that I missed the secret bit - I did play all those quests and parts of the maps. That was not a negative review by any measure, and I don't think many people would get that impression.

PS. Even in good maps I spend more time focussing on the things that could have been done better because i like to think I'm being constructive here, letting the map-maker and others know how I think it could have been done better. But I was careful to note here that the hidden feature wasn't a problem, it was just a missed opportunity IMO.

I've just read it again and that seriously wasn't a negative review.

Hey, you did great and I totally agree with all you say in it. I'm just pessimistic about most things, that's all. Sometimes you just have to let me shout out loud

(Evil part of Crusard comes back again)

Altough this IS an incomplete review...
