The Index of Official Scenarios

[xraine69]

Spoiler Alert!

I am Thormun. Valhalla is my homeland, though I do not recognize the regions that I dare to visit. My people, the Kyrie, lived peacefully here for thousands of years under the rule of our Archkyries. Then the wellsprings were found, and everything changed.

Ah, the mysterious wellsprings. Sixty-some years ago I discovered the first one quite by accident, in the Tarn of Volsunga. When I drank its water, I became stronger in body and mind; my wings grew to a wondrous size; I gained mystical powers; and to my astonishment, I stopped aging. Yet if I did not drink from the wellspring often, the powers faded.

I lived quite happily in this way for a time, except for the visions. You see, along with the powers came strange visions of armies at war on bleak, unknown battlegrounds. Their images were terrifying, and I lived in fear of them; yet I still drank the water.

I was not surprised to hear that other wellsprings had been found. Other Kyrie drank from them, and gained powers from them, and saw the visions. They became a super-species; they named themselves Valkyrie, and they seized control of the wellsprings.Inevitably, there began a violent struggle over the precious waters. I fled before they could find me, for I was alone, and did not want war. My powers soon vanished, and the visions along with them.

As for the visions of the Valkyrie-they became a horrifying reality. The Valkyrie discovered that the images in those visions were of great heroes, warriors and creatures from other worlds, other eras. They devised ways to beckon them to Valhalla, and gathered them into powerful armies to fight for their side. Lush valleys and hillsides became military strongholds. Majestic mountains became vantage points for deadly attacks on those below. Armies marched, fought, claimed victory or were vanquished, all for the wellsprings.

Alas, Valhalla, my once-serene homeland, has now become a war-torn and desolate ruin.

They are calling this age of war the Rise of the Valkyrie.

I travel the land in secret, carrying little more than my journals and my heavy burden of guilt, for it all began with my innocent discovery.

I record all that I witness or hear about, for those who will come after me.

Indeed, if any do . . .

It surprises me that there is no forum for Official Scenerio discussions. Especially considering that is how Heroscape was designed to play.

So here in this thread I hope to get discussions going on official scenerios: strategies, army builds, rules clarifications, battle reports and battlefields.

Feel free to discuss any scenerio from RotV to BftU, from the rulebooks or the offical online scenerios.

Thanks to Lefton4ya, we now have all the official scenerios and battlefields in one book.

Here is a link provided by Carakki to a storystyle report on the SotM Campaign starting with post 224.


I will be adding links to threads on specific scenerios as I get time. It will take awhile to get them all listed, but feel free to use this thread as a general discussion of senerios and storyline.
Online scenerios will be directly linked, Scenerios printed in the rulebooks will be linked to the official scenerios and maps download.

When it comes to battlefields, the most disappointing ones for me were the SoTM scenarios that came in the rulebook. I thought the maps were incredibly boring and could have used brush to go with them.

[xraine69]

SotM was less terrain than RotV and other than the hive, no LoS blockers, but it was the first official campaign Heroscape had. The concept itself was very appealling. If anyone has played the campaign and would like to share their battle report and experience, please feel free.

[Jdet]

The campaign was a fun idea. I played the Marro and completely dominated.

I would like to see the Book of scenario's made on here. Official and unofficial.....

Would anyone care to volunteer to compile all the official battlefields and scenerios together in one book?

[Carakki]

If you go here and scroll down to post 224, you'll find a story-style report of the SOTM campaign.

I'm still waiting for River of Blood senario.

In the picture of that scenario, where do they get those red tiles with green/yellow raised surfaces?

It also says it requires 2 Swarm/2 TJ but clearly uses lava terrain.

E: Looking at the construction diagram, it looks like the colors are just off. The brown looks red to me ^^

BTW, thanks for the add to my file here. Your post here and the same question in the official rules and FAQ thread are what made me take the time to compile this.
