No, DoomedPaul772. This scenario was made for the African Kingdoms/Forgotten expansions only.

Is there a ROR updated version in English?

 Waw! Great scenario: I loved playing it! The choice of gods at the beginning and the cast objectives are a very nice idea, that make it replayable! Great job, bravo!

I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks for sharing!

Very enjoyable scenario! I iked thqt it was long and that the player had a lot of options. The small population is a bit frustrating, I guess it was meant to balance, but I would have preferred more powerful enemies and more population.
I have seen someone else has updated it into Rise of Rajas, but I guess you would have been the best to do so.
Also, I think the Chinese engineer providing with chemistry does not work, as for me it did not change anything. I am not too sure about herbal medicine neither. The enemies (in paticular the Mongols) are also powerless against walling. I know this is very difficult to fix, but if you could then I don't see any reason why this scenario should not be part of the official game!

Mongols can be stopped by building walls and castles in mountain chokepoints.

Any tips if you decide not to flee to borneo against the mongol invasion?
okikoki 27 Feb, 2019 @ 5:22am 
Relish the problem can be yellow follows you to grey.I tested it.

@Filthydelphia, please update this campaign into Rise of the Rajas version.

Use your army early to get rid of the dock in the east of your base, this would slow down their navy production. Getting a hold on navy will help make things later easy. Your goal is to get to castle and a hold of water. This is important because once the mongols come you can transition your base to grey which will not fight you if you keep alliance with them. Mongols cant get to you and your early hold on water makes the base unreachable by yellow, red, and orange. From there you can boom to imp and get rid of the mongols, red, and yellow. Pretty simple when you have a base at grey.

For hard i chose infinite farm and market tech(+200gold). You don't really need elite archer elephants, you don't need farm tech which saves resources, market tech requires you to age up to castle to get no tribute tax so having them in feudal saves gold which you need for a lot of things. Once you have farm you dont need to keep spending wood. 60 wood=infinite food is really good.

Early scouts do pretty well against red. Explore the map. Mongol envoy 1000gold tribute should help stop green attacks. Focus on booming and don't worry much about red since either your heroes can beat them or the monasteries would keep them occupied for a while.

Tip for hard: you should know the map first (play on Moderate or use cheat codes), at the beginning, pause F3, lots of work to do:
Send villagers for food, get more villagers, buy transport ship. Scout the sea, quests give you gold which is important to maintain peace with Yellow and bribe other nations. You may build 2 gates near river to block Green (not important if you can bribe them 1000 gold). It's important to know the locations of relics, if you can get 4 relics early, they will give you massive boost of gold. Bribe Purple (Chola), their army will devastate Yellow. Don't betray Grey (yet) because they're too far away and you don't have enough units to deal with them.

3 bugs I found: - The Chinese engineer quest shows up again even when I completed it ( I found him quite early ) - The Shah has nothing to do with the game? - After the 3rd tribute, Yellow declaration of war is irreversible (through I saw some dialog about peace, just before the declaration of war?

If he sends the ram first.Maybe it is better to help the cyan player then it is more chance.
okikoki 5 Feb, 2019 @ 5:02am 
Well i like challenge.By the way the only problem is the mongol but if you wall in you have a better chance.Anybody knows how to stop the mongol player?
Tengu 4 Feb, 2019 @ 7:35pm 
Filthydelphia, please update this campaign into Rise of the Rajas Civilizations please?
Filthydelphia  [author] 4 Feb, 2019 @ 7:31pm 
I have noticed you have been asking for help on Hard for all these scenarios. Might be better to just play on Moderate. There is no shame in playing on Moderate difficulty; Hard is very hard and I cannot even beat most of these scenarios on Hard.
okikoki 4 Feb, 2019 @ 1:47pm 
Any tips for hard?
Tengu 3 Dec, 2018 @ 12:58am 
Can you please update into Rise of the Rajas Civilizations please?

A South East Asia adventure is always welcome, but this map is kind of oppressive at the start. the mayans and the thai are hard as fuck.
egonzalez.ieu2013 16 Aug, 2018 @ 11:42am 
Would be great to see another dinamic diplomacy scenario
Muckelchen 12 Aug, 2018 @ 9:41am 
waay too hard
Poxo 24 Jul, 2018 @ 8:44am 
Hard pressure at the start, kind of boring in the end :(

Nice map design, maybe too much text/announcements.
PoorlyDrawnDuck 25 May, 2018 @ 2:35pm 
Very fun, 10/10.
Apocalypso 15 Jan, 2018 @ 2:54pm 
You should make an updated version that actually uses the Khmer.
Asteroid 8766 28 Nov, 2017 @ 6:21am 
so um sauce to old background picture please ??
Chen'la 23 Nov, 2017 @ 10:50am 
Yep, similar thing happened on YT, video got demonetized and I had to change the image.
I got the ads back but the other day it got demonetized again - 'content in that video is not appropriate for advertisers'.

whats up
ColdSurge 20 Nov, 2017 @ 10:37pm 
the game brings back so many memories

Good Scenario. But not comparable to legendary scenario as Ragnar Lodbrok.
kud13 16 Nov, 2017 @ 8:52am 
No problem, you are absolutely welcome. Hope to see something new from you soon!
egonzalez.ieu2013 16 Nov, 2017 @ 8:25am 
Ahh good to hear that the ban was not permanent and even better that you are doing more scenarios, can´t wait, your campaigns are the best of the workshop¡
If you did a scenarios dlc I would buy it for sure, in any case hopefully we will see something soon, perhaps with dinamic diplomacy again?or the originality of ragnars raid scenario?
Filthydelphia  [author] 15 Nov, 2017 @ 8:21pm 
LMaquiel, maybe in the future, but at this time, I am busy with other projects. It's definitely something I am considering, but I feel that my time would be better spent making an entirely new and different scenario than rehashing an old one.
Filthydelphia  [author] 15 Nov, 2017 @ 8:20pm 
kud13, thanks for the kind words and the review of the scenario! I'm glad you liked it and I'm glad to be able to return this one back to Steam!
Filthydelphia  [author] 15 Nov, 2017 @ 8:15pm 
egonzalez, the previous version of the scenario uploaded to Steam was banned due to the cover image I used. Thankfully, what appeared to be a permanent ban from Steam was resolved and I am able to post my content again!
LM 15 Nov, 2017 @ 1:34pm 
Can you edit this for include the civilizations of rise of the rajas?
kud13 15 Nov, 2017 @ 6:33am 
Then there's diplomacy. Khmer aren't the only pretender to power in the region. From the swamps to the mountains, rival powers are interested in you failing... but through triggers they can be bought off and even made to turn against your other rivals.
Then there's all the side-missions. The Khmer border the Indian ocean- it is vast, ripe for exploration and brimming with opportunity. There's something to find on every island, and you are bombarded with extra tasks to keep you even more busy.
All of these systems intertwine to deliver a very special experience, one with ton of replayability, as the player looks to find their own way to break free of the Srivijaya hegemony, suppress other rivals and lead the Khmer to glory. All in all, this is one of the best pieces of custom single-player content on the Workshop.

2/2

Welcome back!

To those who don't know: this 1-scenario campaign is a masterpiece.
It pre-dates the Rise of the Rajas DLC, so the player uses the Indian civ, taking on the role of Khmer to become a local superpower.

What's unique about it?
For starters, you craft your own civ- in the beginning of the scen you pick 2 patron gods out of 2 pairs of 3 (almost Age of Mythology-style), each of which confer specific bonuses on your civ.
Secondly, it's about HOW you win- this isn't your regular, run-of-the-mill Build&Destroy. The khmer society is run by the 5 castes- and each has a number of specific goals for you to achieve. In order to win, you must fulfill all goals of 3/5 castes- but there's an option to keep playing past this victory condition to do even more!
1/2
egonzalez.ieu2013 15 Nov, 2017 @ 5:23am 
Is there any difference between this scenario and the original upload?
