The People's Choice version of "The Odyssey" may be downloaded from this location:
The Odyssey
The main difference between this and the Contest version is you get the complete musical score, which really makes the scenario much more enjoyable. Please try it and post your thoughts in this thread. And be sure to play "Poseidon" as well! (that link is in the HAC forum)

Has anyone tried it yet? I honestly believe The Odyssey is as good - - and maybe better - - than "Spartacus" and "Sword of Shannarra". It can be played to completion in the span of hours, so there's really no reason not to check it out.

I just downloaded it, but I can't play till tomorrow night. I never have time to finish scenarios. I have had a game of Red Front going for 3 weeks.

These hints may resolve your dilemma:
1) When you looted Ismarus, did you bring the Wine with you? I sure hope so!
2) This message gives a pretty clear hint as to which units (and ONLY which units) should head off to examine the cave:
"Odysseus spies more goats and a large cave on another island. Together with two Sailors and the heady Wine of Ismarus, he departs to investigate this natural wonder."
3) The next message suggests which units should be getting off the ship, and which one has the first action (and exactly what that action is):
"As Odysseus captures some goats, the mists close in behind the ship and all the Sailors take the Wine ashore. One Ithacan sprints ahead, seeking to be the first to investigate the cave."
If this doesn't help, let me know!

Very Impressive!
I've never really liked the quest/role-playing type scenarios. But you really push the envelope here. Yes it is quite entertaining; but quite a departure from your masterpieces.
I think you're lying about finishing in one or two hours, though. Maybe I've just too slow or methodical.

When you guys complete Chapter 2....in another hour or so (hehehe).....I'd be interested to hear what you think about the Chapter 3 revelation.
Stefan: So perhaps a hint file is in order?

Very entertaining. I took me about four hours over two days to play to completion, but I have a dinosaur computer and it seemed like two hours of that was just waiting for the computer to move.
When loading the other contestant's scenario, I got a message that there was a problem with the event file. I assume this means that the event file didn't even load, so I haven't tried to play it yet. Did anyone else have this problem?

Jim: Given your vast experience in playtesting Nemo's complex creations, I suppose my "puzzles" weren't overly taxing! Glad you enjoyed it. The amount of work it took to create and fine-tune this thing was staggering. Easily hundreds of hours!
I checked out "Poseidon" too, and you have to add two END TEXT commands to the last two events. You'll have to do this in all six of the event files. That should solve the problem.

I have completed a Hints file for Chapter One, and will try to finish up two more before the weekend is over. It may be a while before they go up on the web site, so if you need one, post here and I'll email it ASAP.

Stefan: Sorry about the teasing tone of my comment. I agree completely that a Hint file is VERY much a good idea for a scenario like this! In fact, the one for Chapter 2 is also complete!

How do you kill the witch? I already used the potion but then I am stuck. That hints file would help alot.

SCDARS: The Front Door strategy never occurred to me, but I can see how it would work. I hesitate to recommend it, because that means you have to abandon the Bow of Odysseus. Just pray the Suitors don't break through the Back Door!

SCDARS: Allowing you (or anyone for that matter) to abandon the Bow is definitely a design flaw on my part. In future versions, I'll probably put in a new event that causes loss of the Bow to generate a 2nd Axe unit, thus doubling the attack on the Back Door.
