Great campaign, a must play.

no esta en español

Hey no idea, if you ever plan to return to designing scenarios, but I just wanted to say I hope you are well. Struggle for Japan, Highest Hall, Lord of the Steppe and Thrones of Iberia are all missions I've played the hell out of. I've got really fond memories of all of them, going back to when I first saw Highest Hall get recommended years and years ago. I love these custom scenarios, and you and filthydelphia have given me an absolute blast in recent days with your custom scenarios. I don't play aoe2 as much as I used to because the community has been very toxic to me, but I wanted you to know that you brought a lot of joy to my teenage years with your maps, and if you ever make another one I'm sure it'll be just as fun. Either way, thanks a lot. You're a talented designer, storyteller and modder. Thanks for all the fun times, and I hope you are doing well.

Love the mode you create Venice
AWESOME :)

Totally fair. And yeah, ive already played the hell out of struggle for Japan. Hope you are doing well with all that though.

@lachlanhomework You could check out "Struggle for Japan" for DE. I would love to make an epic new custom campaign or convert the old ones to DE, but due to covid-19 I`m very busy at my real life job- so unfortunatly no new campaigns in the near future :-(

i was curious whether you had made anything new since ottokar? I really love aoe2 de but there are not enough campaign mods there

This was a good play, thanks for making it!

@KingValorian- thank you! If you want, you can check out my new custom campaign "Ottokar" for DE!

This campaign was made with so much love, that it easily outshines everything from FE and ROTR expansions. Great work! Hopefully you will do some more, I would definitely play them! :-)

Great job on the campaign! I really enjoyed scenarios two and five. Excellent story telling as well.

oh yes i wasnt trying to pressure you, im simply an enormous fan of your scenarious and if you ever do get around to making another that is something i would like to see

@lachlanhomework; Thank you. Currently I don`t think I have time for a new scenario, but I`m also interested in new ideas for the future!

Hey hammister fantastic campaign as always. If you are lookig for inspiration i thought something similar to thrones of iberia would be epic in a japanese or african setting

great campaign

Yep, im the same, itsa 3rd mission i guess. it has something to do with mods probably. i have enhanced blood, sinkink ships and never dissappearing bodies :/

second misson CTD for me too on start, however this is not only missons that does thiis. Have the same problem with a other secanrio with the swiss confderation, do not remember its name.

When second mission starts, game crashes down without any errors

I haven't been able to get around to playing all of your campaigns, but I have to say they're some of my favorite custom scenarios on the workshop.

I have also played "far side of the world",that's interesting.
No problem,if you design a new campaign, i will subscribe it immediately!

@ 罪恶归心 : I´m very sorry, but I`m currently very busy at my work- so no campaign in the near future- I gave my scenario "far side of the world" a major update-recently you could try it out!

Do you have some schedules on the next campaign?
I am looking forward to it!

Since this campaign, i am tasteless to others.
It's perfect!

This is a narrative that had to be explored. I'm so excited for overlooked histories to flesh out the civilizations in the game with detailed campaigns like this...!

@brutus_bg: thx for the nice feedback! In my opinion the life of Enrico dandolo was very interesting and fascinating. When making the maps, I did make some minor changes to history, so that the gameplay stays exiting and interesting.

Awesome Italian campaign!
History - 10/10; follows the Venice/ Dandolo story quite well. Fine representation with maps, opponents, scripted events, etc.
Gameplay - 10/10; the history doesn't hamper the fun. The scenarios are challenging, ut not hard- just the way a scenario- game should be.
Byzantines - 0/7.

@IS-4 Heavy Tank: That is very nice. Thank you!
@imperatorCaesar: Thank you very much! I tried to make every mission a bit different so Im glad you had fun playing my campaign!
@tribalbeat: Your feedbacks are always nice to read. The last mission is my favorite as well and it is true, I tried to make it a bit more difficult by limiting the players resources.
@bassi: Ich kenne das Gefühl- je mehr der Job und Familie einen fordern, desto weniger Zeit hat man für die kleinen Nebensächlichkeiten im Leben :/

This looks like a very promising series of scenarios. Too bad I don't have enough time currently to check them out :/

This was a really excellent campaign. I enjoyed the mix of mission objectives and the build-destroy parts. The synth voicework was a great addition. My only wish is that the main difficulty seems to come not from enemy attacks, but simply from running out of resources before destroying the enemy. Still, having to race against a wonder victory and a relic victory during the final mission was very exciting!

Really Great Campaign and Fun to play, and new and interesting factors such as getting more popularity for doge election, intercepting the cogs.

Mostly really enjoyable for play and It is one of the greatest custom campaign I've played!

But Besieging Zara was bit hard and cancerous haha.

Whenever you upload a campaign, it is like Christmas for me. Keep up the awesome work man!

@hendriX thank you for your really nice feedback!

You can definitely tell a lot of hard work went into this, detail is incredible, story is engaging, scenarios are a good blend of difficult and entertaining, if you played this for the first time you wouldn't know it was fan made. great job!

@hammister I understand you, because for me the last two missions were hard haha so I guess its hard to find a middle point¡

@Emperor Jaco- ty; I will give the mod a try.
@Juvenal/Mkj13: You guys are absolutely right. The campaign is not extremly difficult to beat. I tried to make it not to hard, but sometimes its difficult to make it perfect for everyone. I`m glad you still had some fun with it.

Enjoyed playing thought this campaign. Was fun exploring the maps, and liked the different ways each map needed to be completed. But was a bit easy. But still really enjoyable overall. Well done!

Very well made campaign with interesting mechanisms implemented (i.e. mission 2). unfortunately it is way too easy (i played on hard), because the enemies hardly produce (the right) units.

+1, perfekt

Wish it was co-op.

@Pok`: I can understand your opinion. Artistic voices can never replace good voice acting. Stil, in my opinion, even non-perfect sound files are an improvement to gameplay in an rts.
@Chrps: Write me a message vica chat and then i can hopefully explain how the ai works in detail!

A real masterpiece! I loved playing this campaign

One question: How did you program the crusader AI? I really liked the way they played out during these missions (low vill count, no new builidngs but still they made army and attacked the enemy). I think I could learn a thing or two from your editor-skills ;)

Really, really amazing. I just find the voices a little weird but I completely understand why you did it like that, I'm just one of these people who prefer to read xD

@The Devil Angel: An italian translation would be awesome, but also a real challenge to make. You should try using triggerstudio for translating the ingame text. I made the soundfiles for the voices and videos with "audacity" and "from text to speech". For the images for the videos i used GIMP and windows movie maker and an avi converter...Let me know, if you make some progress, then maybe I can help you!
@howard the alien: That is really nice comment and Im glad you enjoyed looting constantinopel!
Although I think the content from bassi and also filthydelphia is whole different level- even close to magic!

this was fun, i liked the scenarios a lot especially the siege of constantinople. It was fun to watch everything get destroyed. 11

i love your campaigns man, if you and bassi make a campaign together and it will be the best AOE2 project in human history. (maybe make something about German history since he is German and you are Austrian)

Ah yes, a campaign worthy of my interest...

Hello!
Great work mate!
Just a question - I would like to translate this mod in ITALIAN, and also in VENETIAN language.
can you give me instructions on how to do it?
Then you could also publish it if you'd like :-)

@johnjohnblack- No, you are not a cheater. It just seems like you learned to fight like a clever Venetian :-). Blocking the spawning points is something Enrico Dandolo would have also done :-).

I liked it but in the mission where you siege Zara you can cheese the game by blocking the spawns of the pope's monks. (yes I'm a cheater)

The music is... interesting.

Thank you all so much for your kind words. It is interesting for me that the first and second scenario is so well received. Me personally I liked scenario no. 5 the most, because it has a big city, time limits and the horn sound effect- but I´m glad you enjoyed the campaign.
@dynamo128- I´m very sorry, but unfortunatly I dont have the time for designing a new campaign in the near future- so no persian campaign.
