[Tell] 2009-07-20 00: 18:23 Message From @Malthaeus : Feedback on Architect Mission Amazon-Avatars: Ran it again and brought friends. Good fun!

[Tell] 2009-07-21 21: 34:08 Message From @Marty Rallner : Feedback on Architect Mission Amazon-Avatars: A bloody awesome story, but I spent hours on the 3rd mission trying to find the last ritual. Then I fell through a hole in the map and had to restart. Might want to get tech support to take a look at that. Look forward to completing the arc sometime =D

[Tell] 2009-07-22 10: 11:52 Message From @Marty Rallner : Feedback on Architect Mission Amazon-Avatars: Alright, tried again and I gotta say that was awesome. The patrol dialogue was enriching and fun. Aphrodite's zerg rush ambush was a bit tricky until I applied every AoE I could think of. Artemis wasn't too hard with the provided allies (Nice touch using Octarine, though there's a typo in his dialogue, "stuided") If the devs don't consider this worthy of Dev's Choice, there is no justice.

changes made 8/13/09:

-changed the names of minions, LTs, and Bosses in the "Wolves of Artemis" faction made of modified standard characters

-added modified character descriptions to Wolves of Artemis NPCs

-changed some colors on the Wolves of Artemis, so they are a bit less like the wolves who hang out with Shadowhunter or the Council.

(much thanks to @Leah White for the suggestion that got me looking at those wolves and got me to tweak them)

-some typo fixes

-tweaked some Contact dialogue

-made some changes to Secondary powers in Avatar of Artemis

-added Amazon Priestesses to the Amazon Centurion faction of modified standard characters

-added an Amazon Priestess optional boss goal to final mission

Changes made to "Amazon-Avatars" on 9/10/09

-changed map in Mission 3 to a different Croatoa map, due to reports of mission objectives not spawning.

-changed mission objectives in Mission 3 from Mystic Tablets to Magical Cauldrons. Previous playtests of the Croatoa map now being used showed that smaller destructible objects could slide in the geometry and be lost. Hopefully, the larger items won't be subject to this.

-added an optional Pack Alpha boss spawn to mission 5 to give some more "screen time" to the Wolves of Artemis.

changes made to "Amazon-Avatars" on 9/15/09

-added several minions to the "Amazon Centurions" faction for Mission 5.
done to make sure that faction gives full XP in Issue 16.

this leaves the arc at 99.94% of memory. I think I might just be done tweaking this one, since I really don't have much other choice...

Remember Projectionist's contest for MA Arcs?

well, Amazon-Avatars got an honorable mention, and won a piece of artwork.
rather than ask for a pic of one of my heroes or villains that I play, figured it might be nice to get a drawing of one of the NPCs from the Amazon-Avatars storyarc.

It turned out great, and I really like it. Thanks Projectionist!

no spoilers for the arc, but if you played it, I'm sure you recognize her.

Changes made to arc on 5/1/10:

-tweaked costume pieces on custom characters who had shields, to prevent them from being invalid.

-set all custom critters to use "Custom" power choices, tweaking some power choices. Custom enemy XP improved in all cases.

-changed map choice in Mission 5 to use more appropriate map that became available with Issue 17.

- used a "betray" option on one NPC ally that it is perfectly appropriate (and already foreshadowed in existing dialogue)


*** Planned future changes / improvements

- use increased memory available to add some variety to custom faction in Mission 4.

- tweak briefing in Mission 5 briefing to incorporate new map choice

- general pass over Mission 5 to optimize with new map. Possibly change some patrols to fixed bosses, review spawn placement, etc.
