Olvez's Missing AOK(HD) Boudica Campaign
Olvez (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/olvez) made a campaign for AOE2:The Forgotten (HD 2013 Steam version) called Boudica vs. Rome that was overall very good. It depicted the Celtic Warrior Boudica's campaign against Rome in 60 AD.

I left constructive criticisms and I think that I hit "Like"/Thumbs-Up" on it too. I was able to beat all the scenarios and they were not Hard to beat, but there were a few secondary flaws.

Not long after I left my comments, the Designer took down his whole campaign workshop page. Maybe at first he did not realize that I thought that it was overall a good
campaign. When I asked him what happened, he wrote to me that he did not have time to fix its flaws and that he was a Perfectionist. In my opinion, since the scenarios were not hard and were pretty winnable, it was unnecessary to take it down.

Since he took the campaign down from Steam, the .scx files are gone and I just have my savegames for each scenario left.
The best that I can do is to share with AOK players a zip (links below) that I made of my earliest savegames for each of the campaign's five scenarios, ie. the savegames that are closest to the beginning of each scenario.

I would like to contact Olvez to ask him if he would let me edit and fix his scenarios for him. I friended him on Steam months ago. His profile says that he hasn't been online for over 200 days. I hope he is doing OK. Maybe he is using another username? I sent him some Steam Chat messages. My obstacle is that I can't find other information for him.

The best that I can think to do is to share with AOK players a zip (links below) that I made of my earliest savegames for each of the campaign's five scenarios, ie. the savegames that are closest to the beginning of each scenario. The savegames are on the Difficulty levels that I beat the missions on, as well as some Harder levels. So for instance, I beat Scenario #5 on Standard and so I am including the savegame files for the Moderate and Standard Difficulty levels, titled "BoudiccaScenario5MODERATE1.aoe2spgame" and

"BoudiccaScenario5STANDARD.aoe2spgame". To install the savegame files to let you play each of these savegames, just paste them in your AOE2(HD) Scenario folder at:

Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\common\scenario

The Campaign requires AOE2's "The Forgotten" Expansion, as well as saying to "use the "[IA] Italian Architecture for Independant Mod". That Mod in turn uses the "[IA 5.8] Independent Architecture" Mod.

(https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=893953860).

I also included a Readme file in my Zip that has more details on installing the campaign and playing it.

My savegames for Scenarios 1-3 are here:

Here are my savegames for Scenarios 4-5:
