This adventure is designed to tell you the myth of Orion, from his birth until his death. In some cases, different versions of his life have been reworked into one cohesive storyline. This story is interwoven with the player developing his/her own city (plus colonies) and also incorporates elements from the Trojan War and the Odyssey. Very happy to take any constructive criticisms or ways the adventure could be improved. Based on my own playthrough, I believe that newbies will find the adventure challenging while veterans should still enjoy the scenarios and obstacles which have been developed. |

Hi ! It's good to see that people keep on making adventures for this great game. I could test older adventures, but I want to encourage the "legacy", so I will start by this one. I will let you know what I think about it soon ! |

Sadly I can't go further in the adventure for the moment, because a god (I don't remember which one) destroys my temples everytime I build them. So I can't do anything. Maybe I did something wrong.
Other than that - but it's only my opinion, I'm not saying your work is bad ! - I prefer when the adventures are progressive. In this one, everything has to be done straight away.
For the rest, I like the funny story telling and the parent map is well designed :) |

@lordmatsu - thanks for the download and the ratings, glad you had fun with the adventure. For your comments:
10 odd years for the first episode: I wanted to give a feeling of the passing of the Trojan War and have the player challenged over time. You can speed things up by getting Troy to gift you black marble (particularly on the non-Olympian difficulties). My suggestion is to shower them with wine and then ask for the gift of black marble in return once they're sufficiently happy). But I do acknowledge that some players would want it to be quicker.
Cities being unconquerable: The two cities in particular referred to here play a big role in the story. If the player could conquer them earlier, then a lot of the story would not make sense unfortunately.
Appreciate the time you took to play and to leave your thoughts! |

@TheVinzVincent - thanks for the download. I'm not sure why a god keeps destroying your temples. Their targets are not designed to be temples in the editor. Perhaps try restarting the episode and get an earlier start on building the temple? You don't mention which episode you're on, but if Zeus is giving you issues in the final episode, then I suggest building Hera's temple as she gets Zeus to back off.
Happy that you leave some suggestions on the adventure being more progressive - I personally felt the adventure was quite progressive in what you needed to achieve and that these evolve with each episode (based on the story development).
Thanks for playing! |

@Peperuza
My guess this is due to the name of your folder. The folder name has to be exactly same as the .pak file (in our case, folder name must be "Orions Tale", note the space between). Remember to place a copy of the .pak file under the main Adventures directory too.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the campaign, because after Zeus's invasions, the city got bugged - maintenance workers wouldn't appear anymore, so everything began to crash, and there was nothing I could do... |

@Michelle91, thanks for the comment. Unfortunately the game itself has a sprite limit which impacts bigger cities. My only advice would be to build your city in a way which reduces the need to have too many sprites e.g. utilise large residential blocks, less sheep, etc. This would be the case for any adventure where the city becomes quite large. This "defect" in the game can sometimes provide a interesting challenge i.e. managing to build a still-functioning but very highly populated city. |
