Hello! Amazing scenarios!! I created a small video playing the fabulous Norse scenario (Snow Warning) and it was amazing, it is posted on my steam profile. I am small creator but I also got in the oven a Winter Woes video, my public seems to have enjoyed your levels on Titan. I will follow you for more future creations! Btw, I kind of explored a meta all of the possibilities in my game-play since I was a bit rusty, haha

@放学别肘 : That should be normal for any new mod install. Click on the option corresponding to "Reload Assets" or "Restart Game" and you shouldn't see the message anymore.
放学别肘 11 May, 2024 @ 12:10am 
it apears (NOTE: this mod is broken. Recommend unsuscribe. Boot times will suffer.) any ideas?
Aainiikkusu  [author] 10 May, 2024 @ 11:42pm 
@放学别肘 : Sadly it's too vague for me to understand what your issue is.
Aainiikkusu  [author] 10 May, 2024 @ 11:41pm 
@BinderNews : I can't reproduce the issue on my end so aside of unsubscribing and redownloading I can't provide another fix at the moment. As for the marsh, it is made like this by design and can't be changed at the moment either, unfortunately.
放学别肘 10 May, 2024 @ 11:12pm 
why it shows broken,how to fix it, thanks
BinderNews 10 May, 2024 @ 7:20am 
I've had a lot of issues with the final Chinese map freezing as well. I disabled every mod other than my main menu change, including other campaigns, and it still froze. Other than that, challenging but fun.

One issue I have is the visibility in the swamp level. The terrain and colors make visibility confusing. Everything is a kinda murky green. Maybe it would be possible to change the background tiles to have a bit more contrast?
Aainiikkusu  [author] 5 May, 2024 @ 4:48am 
@GunFred : Very interesting! I'll check and see what I can do. I appreciate the insight.
GunFred 5 May, 2024 @ 4:20am 
The swamp map could have each player on an island with a predetermined trade ship route they have to protect. And lastly the one with the bribing tyrant could have two player empires competing to ally smaller strategic towns for an advantage when they later duke it out. The smaller towns could be either npcs or players. These are just some ideas, I can imagine that the AoM youtubers and pvp players could have some fun with this.
GunFred 5 May, 2024 @ 4:20am 
@Aainiikkusu The mod "New Myth Unit Tech" was the cause for the freezes.

Regarding the scenarios, the chinese trading route scenario would be a good choice for pvp content. The victory condition would force early and constant conflict and maneuvering. It would be entertaining to watch while respecting the players' time. Both norse scenarios would be interesting as well. In the first one players would fight it out while dealing with increasing tribute demands. The avalanch scenario would be like musical chairs for AoM. Players would migrate before each avalanch but there is one less TC after each wave and being close and desperate would cause a lot of fun action.
Aainiikkusu  [author] 4 May, 2024 @ 4:49pm 
@GunFred : I don't see how other mods would break it... glad to hear you could get past the freeze regardless!

If you have any scenario you would like to see in a PvP format, tell me and I'll see what I can do :)
GunFred 4 May, 2024 @ 4:28pm 
@Aainiikkusu Hi, I fixed or at least got past the freezing after I disabled all other mods. I didn't think they would be the issue as there was never any problems in the other 9 challenges or 2 long campaign mods. I hope I didn't waste much of you time and perhaps I will see if I can find if any particular mod caused the issue. Btw, many of you challenges would probably be entertaining to watch/play in pvp versions.
Aainiikkusu  [author] 4 May, 2024 @ 10:11am 
@GunFred : I can't reproduce the issue after my fix from last week. My best bet is suggest you unsubscribe and try redownloading the thing.
GunFred 3 May, 2024 @ 4:20pm 
These challenge maps are amazing but like for some others, the final chinese map freezes for me. Twice it has frozen at 16:48 minutes left another time at somewhere over 13 minutes left on hard difficulty.
Aainiikkusu  [author] 29 Apr, 2024 @ 7:45am 
@Pinkmoon : Thanks for the reminder! Forgot to fix it...
elynleonggg 29 Apr, 2024 @ 5:55am 
Heyy thank you so much once again for making such INCREDIBLE campaigns!!! I'm currently on mission 6, there is tiny gap between Trojan wall on the East gate (Right of Zeus) and I found it pretty hilarous! xD
Aainiikkusu  [author] 29 Apr, 2024 @ 3:43am 
@Dupletor : Sorry to hear that! I didn't even notice myself... I'll make sure the future ones have more variety.
Dupletor 28 Apr, 2024 @ 7:23pm 
I personally hate time based maps, unfortunately this has 4 time based maps and 1 which is basically HP management. The first is good because you lose the time restriction if you make all quests in time, and the last is very creative, the cinematic gave me a genuine laugh, but man I hate time based maps :(
Aainiikkusu  [author] 26 Apr, 2024 @ 9:25pm 
I pushed a fix to resolve the issue for the last campaign, again. Hopefully that sorts it once and for all. Make sure you pick up the update.
iWilliiam 26 Apr, 2024 @ 4:36am 
@Fahilan Same, the last mission freezes sometimes. Impossible to exit the game, need to restart computer. The higher the difficulty, the earlier it freezes on my PC.
The Gunslinger 22 Apr, 2024 @ 2:47pm 
Okay. It IS possible to beat the time limit! All you need is to spam toxotes, and after every attack you need to send an attack to the wall (poke and run), so the AI sends its full force on your base. This way, it will constantly invest into units, so it won't Age up! I've managed to go further, but I forgot to save when I found out that you need to destroy castles to get to the relics...
Aainiikkusu  [author] 22 Apr, 2024 @ 2:20pm 
@Yato : Here's how I do it
https://youtu.be/FmfSz6moc8E
but basically you need to move in as the avalanche comes. You don't have enough time to fully clear it.
The Gunslinger 22 Apr, 2024 @ 1:50pm 
I so far enjoy the missions on titan, but I have no idea how to destroy the 2nd village (mission 8), it doesn't feel like I have enough time.
Aainiikkusu  [author] 20 Apr, 2024 @ 11:34am 
@Fahilan : Someone had brought up earlier a freeze during the last mission, and I had made a fix for it... if it still happens I'll check back again. Thanks for the heads up.
Fahilan 20 Apr, 2024 @ 11:23am 
While playing the last mission, a sudden freeze occurs. I've already beaten your first challenge, but this is the first time I've encountered this symptom.
Aainiikkusu  [author] 16 Apr, 2024 @ 3:38pm 
@Omnomnomnius : Thank you for the feedback! I'll look into it and fix it when I have the time.
Omnomnomnius 16 Apr, 2024 @ 2:06pm 
Just a heads up there's a gap in the wall on the first mission (where the gate meets the wall on the right flank)
Aainiikkusu  [author] 12 Apr, 2024 @ 9:11am 
@iWilliam : Here's how I did it

@Arkantos : Beautiful, glad to hear it!
Arkantos 11 Apr, 2024 @ 10:19am 
@Aainiikkusu, I sent a hero, but not the right one. Must be either Arkantos or Ulyses...thanks for the tip! Loved all the maps
Aainiikkusu  [author] 10 Apr, 2024 @ 3:11am 
@iWilliam : Thank you for the feedback. I will try to make the necessary adjustments in an update for the scenarios to feel a bit more fair. Can't promise when will that be however, but hopefully soon.
Aainiikkusu  [author] 10 Apr, 2024 @ 3:08am 
@ZetaCrow : Yes that is intended, because Teal is your enemy. Thank you for the words of encouragement :)
iWilliiam 10 Apr, 2024 @ 2:59am 
Really great missions, but i feel there is a huge balancing problem on the snow mission. The time just isn't enough on titan difficulty to go break the second village. How are you supposed to do exactly ? I consider myself as a very experienced player, i've been playing since launch in 2002, but i really can't break all the defense of the second village before the avalanche hits mine. How are we supposed to do exactly ?
I saw another comment saying they couldn't do it without cheats as well.

Also about the mines mission in Egypt, again in titan, it's too hard to clear the right and middle paths. I had to send 1 troop to lure few enemies at a time on each wave, otherwise they outnumber me even when i choose wisely what troop to attack with mine. Takes ages to do, and ultimately breaks the fun in this mission.

On the first batch of Aainiikkusu's Challenges tho, you nailed all of them, really great balance difficulty/fun.
ZetraCrow 10 Apr, 2024 @ 1:18am 
Really good scenarios. But i can damage teal's cargo in chapter 9. Rivers of gold. My ships went crazy! Well done Aainiikkusu!
Aainiikkusu  [author] 8 Apr, 2024 @ 6:44pm 
@Arkantos : Your hero just has to be near the dock and you need to have enough food. Hope that clears things up :)
Arkantos 8 Apr, 2024 @ 1:25pm 
@Aainiikkusu, sent the hero but how do I "send" the food? Through market or diplomacy I can´t see the option PS: doing level 9, really enjoying them :D
Aainiikkusu  [author] 8 Apr, 2024 @ 10:42am 
@Arkantos : Glad to hear you liked it! Pink asks that you send your hero to the dock with the food.
Arkantos 8 Apr, 2024 @ 10:12am 
Great, loved the first ones! Just started them...
Question though, in the first one, how do you take the food to Hermezus? Can´t send them as tribute
Aainiikkusu  [author] 6 Apr, 2024 @ 8:49am 
@Night : I appreciate the comments. I'll try and investigate if the crashing is a reocurring thing.
Night 6 Apr, 2024 @ 8:47am 
Man i really liked this, tho my skill issue stopped me from completing the Norse level without cheating, and so far the only thing stopping me from completing the Chinese mission is my game crashing for no reason at all, im not sure if its an EE thing or something with the mission, but i still really like this, 9/10
Aainiikkusu  [author] 5 Apr, 2024 @ 3:57am 
@aRViera : Thank you for the kind words!
Rossini 4 Apr, 2024 @ 11:43pm 
Dude, all of them were f. amazing! But the chinese one, oh boy, what a cool and different scenario! Loved them all, hope to see more (and I mean not only here, but in retold also!).
Aainiikkusu  [author] 4 Apr, 2024 @ 8:01am 
@Night : Thank you for the support!
