------------------------------
Almost identical to what was announced on Discord.
Development Plan
Here is the current plan. Scenario branching is excluded due to its heavy development burden.
Summary
The premise is that there are two ending ideas for this campaign, each with its own merits - I decided to reconfigure the campaign and its scenarios, mixing the best elements of each of the plots in order to achieve two different endings in the most natural way possible.
Scenario Structure
S8 The Dwarven Gates
Gwiti fights with dwarven guards in the cave. He senses the presence of the half of the Skull of Morgorath in the depths of the cave. This corresponds to the Underground Pool in the previous version.
S9 Creatures of the Underworld
Gwiti battles the corrupted creatures in the depths of the cave and finds and completes the Skull of Morgorath. This corresponds to the Underground River, but the map should be changed. A cut-scene is interspersed here to summarize the storyline.
S10 Assault on Alduin
Gwiti begins his Skull research in the cave. A few months later, he plans an invasion of Wesnoth. He first attacks Alduin and then annihilates the Magic Council.
S11 Landfall
Gwiti leaves Alduin and lands on the Continent; he makes Aldril his first target. The map has already been created by GreenScarab.
S12 Elven Ambush
Gwiti first meets and fights with Elynia. Need the map based on the Crossroads from HttT.
S13 The Crown Prince
Gwiti fights the Crown Prince of Wesnoth in Dan'Tonk. Reinforcements give the Crown Prince the upper hand, and the orcish allies betray Gwiti, forcing him to retreat.
S14 Lady of Light
Gwiti fights Elynia again; Gwiti is defeated and puts the curse on Elynia. However, just before his doom, the power of Morgorath is activated, disrupting the area, and Gwiti flees underground. Elynia and Wesnothians believe in the doom of Gwiti.
S15 Shadow Battle
Final scenario. The resurrected Morgorath forces Gwiti to submit to him. Gwiti refuses, and battle ensues between him and Gwiti. Ultimately, their battle creates an earthquake and Gwiti is buried alive underground.
The ending of Project-Ethea will be realized in S14 and the original ending in S15.
Release Schedule
I would like to proceed at slower pace, so completion will probably be next year. If the rework of the existing scenario could be finished this year, that would be ideal. However, there is no point in rushing and disrupting the development process.
Detailed Discussion
I will make this my final draft. However, I am sure that problems will be found in the future, and I would be glad to discuss them further.
