Hey I downloaded your Death Clock level.
Am I the only one who the script doesn't seem to be completing for? I've played it 4 times now, and after the bonus timer disappears. Once I got attacked by the monks and wizards, then nothing and I left my computer on 512 frameskip for 15 minutes and returned to my creatures all trained and I still hadn't completed the level. I read through the script and noticed the last timer that's suppose to run wasn't set in parentheses, so I changed that, but then I got the samurai and knights to appear, and still didn't win the level, and the last 2 times the knights and samurai haven't appeared. All I keep getting each time is a never ending spawn of fairies outside the largest Hero treasure room. I also notice in the script there's continual mention of Samurai being owned by the Heroes, but when looking at the map through DK Editor, I can't see a Samurai on the map anywhere.
Other than not being able to finish the level. I enjoy the level, the premise of opening up your abilities and gaining more power as you go is enticing. The layout's a bit too mysterious the first time you play it. There's no easy markers to make it obvious where to go to find their other fortresses.
I agree with your premises in the 'guide' I reckon a campaign should entail all of these throughout rather that pertain all of them to single levels.
