User blog:Elijahhee/Age of Empires II: The Forgotten - on the clicking-this-and-that and the stucks/jams

I'm still quite new to the Age of Empires II HD: The Forgotten. So far I've only completed the Tales of La Canela (El Dorado campaign), The Dragon Spreads His Wings (Dracula campaign), and Arrival at Bari (Bari campaign).

Honestly, it is already quite frustrating for me to deal with all the lengthy conversations and the many objectives that I must fulfill. The campaigns in the original professionally-made game (Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and Age of Empires II: The Conquerors) are much simpler. Note that this Forgotten expansion was originally a fan-made mod being adopted by Microsoft and pushed it as an addition to the HD edition. But there are more frustrating $hits to be dealt with...

In the AoF campaigns, you have to keep clicking here and there to make the person talk, which is not the case in the AoK and AoC. In the two original games, you only need to get near to a unit to make him/her speak, if any dialogue. But in AoF, for instance, Arrival at Bari, I must click on Emperor Louis II to make him speak, as my (Panos) army reaches his base. What's even more frustrating is I have trouble aligning my army! And in the Tales of La Canela, there are three merchants (in the form of petards) at the west gate of Quito, which two of them will tell you something once you click on them. Yes, their info are merely trivial (one mentioned about algae at the abandoned dock, another mentioned about native soldiers ready for recruitment), but how can the scenario designer simply expect every player to click on the merchants??

And the worse $hit happens - units got STUCK!! I've experienced this in different scenario. Maybe at certain moments I've squeezed too many units together, resulting in one unit being stuck at the terrain and being unable to move. And the worst case was in the Tale of La Canela, my Francisco de Orellana who was supposed to kill the four sergeants of Gonzalo Diaz, was blocked by my own soldiers who were temporary transferred to Gonzalo Pizarro! And I have to start all over again - but fortunately I've saved the game before, or else I'm fucked.

Hope all these issues can be addressed and fixed.
