Thank you @zombocom! We started to work on the Cave scenario but the team didn't finish it. At that time, I didn't have enough design skills to make the room and so the motivation disappeared... It's sad!

Good job! How did you do that? I used the starCraft 2 editor for the floor and then I used Gimp...But the result was not as impressive as you! Thank you so much for your wonderful work!

Some intersant pieces for conversion!

Hello everyone! As a Xmas gift, I share with you what I found on Facebook: a link to an interesting Conan miniature for our first scenario (see the "Conan the barbarian" topics) ! This miniature doesn't look like exactly Conan during the battle of the mound but has two very interesting parts: the antic shield and the sword which look like those used by Conan during some scenes of the final battle ! It is HERE! Moreover, an interesting russian miniature was discovered by some members of the french forum. Nevertheless, It looks like more Conan as fighter in the pits in Conan the barbarian or Conan in Conan the destroyer! Besides, the size seems to be a problem! In fact , Scale: 40mm Size: 41mm to the eyes, 44mm total It is HERE! Note: I have bought the two ones to test the compatibility! I will keep you in touch as soon as I receive them.

Dream has just become reality ! 🙂 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/806316071/conan-the-conqueror-adventure-mode-expansion/posts/2764118

Very Great Job @Arthadan ! You follow our dream and you succeed in making it become reality! You were courageous! I think it is a great opportunity for the project!

One conclusion, there is no real danger until the arrival of Rexor & Thorgrim for heroes…It is more of a butcher shop… Besides, the scene is fast: between the sentence "So this is paradise" and the arrival of Thorgrim & Rexor: only 4mn. Before the first Subotai sword hit (6:44) and the arrival of "Thorgrim & Rexor" (8:16): 1mn32s...very very short. Some other feelings: - I'm not certain Conan is enough strong to survive a double simultaneous assault from Rexor & Thorgrim without the fall of a part of the column...and arrival of new guards with spears and maybe Thulsa Doom with spells… He could be killed or capture again! - To my mind, the actual scenario map design is too short for an "infiltration scenario": to consider only the orgy chamber reduce the stress and if no more guards arrive the scenario could become quite boring! If the scenario is not an "infiltration scenario" no more ennemies than in the movies in the orgy chamber, could become a problem for the overlord player who would not have pleasure to play. - I'm asking myself if specific rules should not be created to manage effect of noise and fire effect on the danger that should increase rapidly… a kind of specific rules inspired from "Rise of the Kage" (or in french) or maybe "homebrew" Conan rules for stealth that already exist somewhere on "the Overlord web site"? - Maybe alarm system should be set in the room ? - Shadows & lights can be important? Sound ? Smell ? Drugs effect on ennemies ? Or not ? I have the feeling that to create a funny scenario, we are going to imagine some elements that are not seen in the movie because the heroes infiltration is perfect: they are lucky and skillfull...

Very good job @Vincent255 ! What is your feeling about the guards strength and number already present in the rooms even the ones that are completely naked ? Same things for the others! The difficult thing here is to manage the different guards strength, arrival and reinforcement across time !

Good @Xaltotun ! I have just come back today from my Holliday to the sea! I'm ready to work again on the project ! 😊

@Arthadan, @Vincent255...others: are you always interested by this scenario writting? ✌️

No, I think like you: easier stealth moves are a consequence of the war paints.

I think It is good to play the both scenario straight from one to the other like in the movie. Not certain having a potion is a good thing! In the movie they have none. I think player would be more careful and play a smooth approach if they know they should take care of their hit points. Nevertheless heroes will have additionnal skills consequence of the war paints

Yes for all ! Balance the game is always a challenge! But to not force the heroes to a singular path too!

What about to use the specific torches that were in the Conan Box and let the overlord to place them by respecting specific limitation rules: in fact purpose would be to avoid to place all the torches in front of each passages. The purpose of this proposal is to avoid the same scenario to be played each time.

A new proposition:

Rotation and size reduction were done. If no rotation occurs, scale of the drawing must be modified because some room details are absent. Nevertheless, if compare with the BOTM map size seems to be at the right scale ?

First proposal to help to design areas. The size of the map is the same as the BOTM map.

Ok perfect for scenario VI ! I'm going to finish a first simple drawing of the orgy room at right size from Vincent Drawings and put it here for comments! Many update could be realized easily !

Yes it is right! And I'm totally agree with your arguments. I have already thought to what you wrote before to write my previous post. It was only a proposal to try to add some "salt" to the scenario, no more. If people thing it is more a cause of trouble the "blood thirsty madness" concept could be forgotten. In fact, I thought the scenario could become a very boring scenario for the Overlord player because the heroes are stronger than the vilains until the arrival of Rexor, Thorgrim and maybe additional guards. Or maybe it could be imagined that Thulsa Doom could change in snake and stay in the room to fight against the invasion if the alert is triggered before he leaves it? Balance of this scenario, is for me difficult to do... But maybe we can use other elements to try to balance it! Moreover, I will try to work on a very simple map with only manual drawings to help us to work on the scenario as it was proposed! I thing it is a good idea at first step ! Only question for the battlegound is, are we focusing on the orgy chamber or on the whole corridors and rooms network of the mountain that was crossed by the heroes in the movie ?

Hi Vincent, Thank you very much for your writings ! To my mind, this scenario would be great if it was a kind of "Hyborian Splinter Cells" and not only a bloodshed in the orgy room. I have the feeling that to only consider the last part of the scenario would reduce the pleasure of this scenario (same thing for me for an other scenario that I hope we will work on an other day: the tower of the serpent). In fact, Conan and his friends are kind of Ninjas in this scenario...But during this battle I think It is difficult for Conan to resist to his wish to kill every one and to destroy everything... Maybe it is something to use to make the scenario better... Conan should do his best to avoid a kind of blood thirsty madness (like a shark when it "detects" first blood) and keep control of himself and thus to not lost too much time with bloodshed. Nevertheless, to kill is sometimes necessary...So find a balance between the main purpose of the mission and his wish of revenge could be great! Maybe with specific Conan self control tests after each deaths to avoid him to become a kind of berserker ? As an example, I don't think an other commando would have lost time to push the giant marmite through the stairs ? This is to discuss... Moreover, I think that it should be very difficult for Conan to leave the cave when he faced Rexor & Thorgrim. I thing the fall of the central pillar brought him back to reason, otherwise he might be dead, blinded by his revenge ? Maybe it was a God action to say him "Conan it is time to go away" ? Note: in a first version of the Conan arrival in the Orgy Room, Milius would like Conan killed the first woman he met...But as this scene showed a worse vision of what was Conan, Milius changed the scene and the woman was only pushed. For me, this was a mistake like the scene in Star Wars, in the Cantina where Lucas made Greedo attacked first Han Solo in the last version of the movie: Solo is a selfish rascal and not a white knight ... Human are complexe and often their darkness overcome their values...and for Conan it is the same thing and besides Conan is a barbarian! I think this scenario should begin with the arrival in the caves, the displacement through shadows across the kitchen and the corridors before to take place in the orgy room at strategic points to act quickly and efficiently. Then to leave through the corridor (through a balcony with a rope (as in the comics)) to go back to horses. Heroes purposes: avoid guards supervision of the place and control the Conan's thirst of revenge, capture the princess as fast as possible. Each turn danger increases and risk of arrival of many well armed-guards and beast mans is important. I have some remarks/questions: Do not understand why Princess Yasmina could die ? For me no one want the princess to be killed. It is not the same thing that in the BOTM scenario. So I will supress this option. For me princess is a kind of item in this scenario that could only trigger an alert ? For me Thulsa Doom is becoming a snake only to go to feed himself somewhere or to go to practice a dark ritual. To my opinion, he didn't detect the attack if not an army would have been arrived faster. But this is to discuss !

Moreover I think I will translate the BOTM scenario in french!
