This campaign must be played on AoE 1.0b or RoR 1.0 versions. You will not be able to continue when playing using the AoE 1.0c or RoR 1.0a patch.
Please set the difficulty setting to "Hard".

Be sure to play on Moderate or higher difficulty setting. If you are playing on Moderate, the ferrymaster should transport you across the swamp at about 3.18 mins, or slightly later (before 4 mins for sure). If you are playing on Hard, be sure to tribute the ferrymaster directly after he asks you to pay him at 2.12 minutes, and board the Light Transport immidiatly or you might not arrive at the Traders Cottage.
If you still can't get past this part, notify me.[Edited on 12/29/08 @ 07:13 AM]

I played it in all difficulties, and I tribute him exactly when he asks me too. I love the bridges by the way. |

Just as I thought the ferryman would never budge and was about to quit he took off.
BTW, was the triple HP mode intentional? And is the map smaller than microscopic?
Great scenario! |

I just don't get it.
It's a scenario... Why is it in campaign format? There's no reason for it. Campaigns with just one scenario just don't feel like real campaigns... |

The Campaign format prevents people from opening it in the editor and spying on it. It also makes it that much harder for people to hack. Lastly, it changes some names around in the stat box, making it look better. |

Noticed the Ferryman only works on a rare occasion when playing on "Hardest" difficulty... didn't notice this because I mostly tested on Mod/Hard - it would be best played on Moderate or Hard.
The 3xHP mode is indeed intentional, and it makes the campaign last a bit longer. This would be a (custom edited) 32x32 tile map, you can find it in my "Extra Small Scenarios" pack.
It is in Campaign format because you are not able to play it in Scenario format. |
