Thread: No minions in Elmshadow?

    Default No minions in Elmshadow?

    I have the 1.7 version from GOG.com.
    I'm on mission 5 of the campaign ("fear"/Elmshadow), and no minions ever come trough the portal. I keep getting attacked, but all I have are imps. Finding the jail doesn't seem to trigger any, either.
    All of the guides I've looked at for this mission seem to assume you get minions as normal. I've sat around with a lair, hatchery, and training room built until the enemies tunnel into my dungeon, but still nothing.

    Am I doing something wrong, is this a bug, or working as designed?

    I know that in Level 5, you can't get Goblins. I think no Fireflies either, but not sure. Can you upload your level5 so I can take a look at it in the editor?

    Well, 3x3 lair, hatchery, and training room doesn't get anything. Scrounged up the funds for a 2x3 library, and finally got a warlock.

    So no Goblins, fireflies or salamanders, I guess...

    No none of them. Also, Salamanders don't appear this early on in the game. DKII has a silly rule about them not existing with lava on the map. It's not hardcoded or anything. Level Designer's choice. They first appear in Level 7, when Giants also appear.

    its a 1.7 specific bug. Earlier versions have those levels working fine, with full unit pool.

    I've had a look at this level in the editor and the creature pool is set to allow you to attract warlocks, dark elves, and trolls to your dungeon. These are the only creatures you can attract in this level. Build a guard room first to attract in dark elves and then a libary to attract warlocks. Yous should then start getting some creatures. I also own version 1.7 and goblins and fireflys cannot be attracted to this level.

    Version 1.7 kinda has something weird that makes some creatures being absent from the pool. There's an anti-boycott creature patch I did right there (even though it's mentioned in French, it works to all languages).
    I like dragons! They're the center of my life! I'll never forget them...
