War Of The Ring 1.1

[hexagonian]

Well, I'll probably need some input from the (SLIC and coding) experts. I have a feeling that it is tied into the SLICs in some way - as the unSLICed version from a year ago seemed stable. (Immortal Wombat, the creator of the SLICs for this Scenario is offline until March too...)

However, here is something to possibly try. You said that you could not attack the Rider outside Rivendell - which is unusual in and of itself. Those are attackable units, though they do not move. One other thing is that they are supposed to be respawned when killed (this is a SLIC feature) and this may be causing the problem too. The mobile Riders are also respawned, so killing them may cause the same problem.

If you have an earlier turn, could you go into the editor and delete all of the fortified Black Riders that are outside Rivendell - then do a reloadslic before proceeding?

If this does not work, I'll probably have to pull the Scenario until he comes back.

ok i'll give it a go and report back.

One thing that also might not help is that i'm running with 16mb less memmory than the recomended amount. I'm not sure how or if this would factor in?

Ok Hex,
I've since started two other games of the same type(Gondor/hard).
No more character confusions - so i'm not quite sure what happened??
For the game i had the problems in, and the crash; I was able to attack that Black Rider next time, still later in the game i had a crash to desktop. This time i got no crash error box - it just dumped me out.

Still i'll play through with this new game(where everything seems fine so far), and see how it goes - maybe my other problems were just to do with some file mix ups while loading/setting up the game?

I've been watching the Two Towers extended DVD over the last few days and running the scenario to compare things. Its helping me get into the game

EDIT: so who's idea was it to name two of the cities 'Lamedon' and 'Michael Delving' !! was it wombat humour?
