Have you ever been stuck on an airplane and wanted to play WarLight but the plane doesn't have WiFi yet? Me too. But more practically most new players first experience WarLight by using the Single Player area. Our goal in the next 4 months is to revamp the Single Player Experience. We want to add new missions and scenarios.

If you are interested in helping, please submit a link to "Custom Scenario Templates" that a Single Player could play. We will be playing them and selecting several of them. Vote for and try the scenarios, the best ones are sure to get selected. Please include a description, and let us know how many turns it normally takes to win your scenario. Be creative, use Wastelands, use AIs, use features of the game.

In total we are looking to add 40 new single player missions.

Instructions to get started, Create a new template using your favorite maps. Use the "Custom Scenario Builder" located under the Initial Distribution tab. Once you have your template made. Post a link in this thread.

Excellent idea!

WW2:
https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?TemplateID=572944

WW2 (Template:572944) is just AIs playing themselves... We need one human spot. Try again.

Well, it can easily be modified, any spot can be replaced with a human.

Yes, but this is meant to be a mission for a new player. 39 AIs playing as well seems extreme.

https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?TemplateID=576897 This is the GOOD version.

The EVIL version will have the player as Mordor instead.

Just make historical battles for around fiveteen, and for the other nineteen make interesting senarios on popular maps. And credit the creators of both map and template.

That will make more people do them, if they get credit.

The EVIL version: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?TemplateID=576901

Another one: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?TemplateID=576906 (quite hard)

Yep, People will be getting credit.

BTW, There is a bad guy hiding behind 10,000 guys.... So it is hard to kill him.

Fixed it. Saruman is now hiding behind six armies instead.

Yep, https://www.warlight.net/Play?TemplateID=576906 is a winner.

Semice might need to make a new one though... even at a first look alias and kellen are in it...

A WW2 Major power Scenario with 7 players, I just spent an hour on so on the scenario. Being on the Allies team should be quite a easy win for the human player. I'm not sure how to turn it into Single player.

Its not 100% historically accurate, perhaps someoine can refurnish it for me?

To make it Single playable..

https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TemplateID=576924

Change to

https://www.warlight.net/Play?TemplateID=576924

We need 36 more...

So is mine okay, Mercer? Any feedback I would really appreciate? I'm not a regular scenario maker. I played with the bonus values to make the empires more equal, not sure if I should have done that.

26 AIs v a human (for more advanced players): https://www.warlight.net/play?TemplateID=567225
Human v 4 AI v 3 AI v 2 AI v AI v 4 AI v 3 AI v 2 AI v AI v 2 AI v 3 AI: https://www.warlight.net/play?TemplateID=506472

I have a specific question, is it possible to hard-code AI for specific single-player challenges? Unfortunately single-player is not competetive since AI can be very easily abused. Unless we get a great AI in new warlight AI challenge (which I sincerely doubt) I think very small challenges (practical defense, attacking, move order, prediction etc.) would be much more beneficial, however it'd require an easy hardcoded AI. I'm thinking about simple stuff, like 2 turns of playing, and you organise move order so taht you get maximum results. The challenge could be measured in armies/income left in the end. Or, even better in my opinion from learning perspetive, very small 1 turn challenges. For example we give a specific situation with you and AI having similar income but you double border 1 bonus of AI. Now, we hard-code AI to defend in way A 30% of the time, way B 30% of the time and way C 40% of the time, then after someone inputs their ordeers we compute 3 scenarios and we calculate the result for the player based on a weighted average in all scenarios of AI income and troop stacks. I think i could easily build specific scenarios where it'd be very beneficial for the community to go through those challenges, because they'd actually benefit user's playing strength.
