The fifth scenario of and Act I of a multi-part series based solely on Anatolia during the culmination of the Levantine Campaign
In 1302, Osman I, a rising power in Anatolia, chose to flex his muscle in the region. Osman (the founder of the Ottoman Empire) met George Mouzalon of Byzantium on the plains of Bapheus. Mouzalon and his army, before the gates of Nicomedia, repelled Osman's forces. Together with a Levantine contingent led by Otto of Savoy, the combined Christian forces pushed Osman's army south towards Nicaea
Osman and his base-camp army met the portion of his military retreating from Nicomedia. Reinforced by an auxillery attachment from the Mesudan Beylik, Osman hoped to take Nicaea, with the intention of controlling Ascanius Lake and the surrounding towns and villages. If Nicaea fell, Osman's reputation would be salvaged, and a western stronghold gained.
The remaining Christian forces from Nicomedia regrouped at the lake-side town of Keramos. Would they make it in time to help defend Nicaea?
This scenario has over one hundred triggers. I believe you will find this one of the best siege/defense style scenarios available on EE Heaven. Enjoy!

Unfortunately not tek. My EE laptop got busted, and I have just purchased another one with lower graphics card to accommodate the EE video quirks. Hopefully by the time you finish this, I'll be able to game on that PC.

Tek! I was revisiting my old notes. Remember Hierarchy series? I plan to continue it. And in my notes, I want to provide a link up via "parallel universes" with your Hrakie Resistance series Will you allow it? I plan on playing again the last scenario of that series. My comment "To Greenland" intrigued me.

Shield you have my full and total support, amigo. It's been so long until I've touched those scenarios from the Resistance series. I don't remember a ton from them but I'm sure they need a lot of work 🤣
I remember the Hierarchy scens being really good but it's also been a long time so I don't remember much anymore (it's been many years)

Shield I finished the first act, which I have been playtesting a bunch. Unfortunately my game is crashing early on in every playtest and I'm having a hard time finding out why

I have experienced such crashes before. The no 1 culprit for me is when I create an object and spawn it AREA wise. Be sure that area is totally clear and NOT previously a cliff forcely converted into a hill type by the game engine. If you really need to create an object, spawn them via LOS building, instead of area.

I turned off all of my spawn triggers and unfortunately the crash continues. Just 30 seconds or so into the scenario. I'll have to start doing things the old fashioned way and turning triggers on and off one by on until I locate the problem. I have over 100 triggers so it'l be a lot of crashing along the way

After a couple hours, I found the trigger. It was a dialog trigger and I still can't figure out WHY. I replaced the object and it ran fine. Very strange indeed. I'm going to finish up playtesting tomorrow and post this up on EE Heaven. Rather than go through the grind of doing every act in one long scenario, I'm going to divide them up into a few. So, stay tuned for the next installment of the Levantine Campaign!

ANDDDD I started playing it. But before I review brother, can you revisit? I don't have any problem defending the city, even in Hard difficulty, BUT! my supposed "allies" kill me more than my enemies I'm speaking about the trebuchets with their 10 damage splash. At one point, around 20 of my archers just literally melted when they targeted 1 single enemy and released a volley, killing my men. Could you either (1) let the player control them when the gates crash, or (2) just remove the splash damage when the gates crash? The attack can still kill infantry I think.
