Prince of Persia
1. Prince in Exile
Prince Farroh was not alien to politics and court intrigues. His rivals, however, got the upper hand. Farroh had to flee from Tabaristan (a small independent Iranian realm to the south of the Caspian Sea) to save his life. The game starts when he appears in the east of Asia Minor, a political refugee with no connections, almost no money, his only possessions are his battle axe and a half-broken coach.
Farroh expects to make use of his administrative abilities, to become employed by some local emir or governor. The situation looks favourable: local rulers are constantly at war with each other. The problem is to make a name among them, to be noticed, which is not easy - most of them are hostile to strangers, their courtiers are extremely envious. Unexpected rivals are not welcome.
The land is inhabited by Saracens and Greeks. The Greeks, the former rulers of the land, by that time became one of the oppressed minorities - it is much easier to come to terms with them then with the Muslims (Farroh is a free-thinker, almost a Zoroastrian, so he does not mind).
At the very beginning of his new career Farroh meets a Greek girl, who is destined to … But we are running ahead. Just watch and listen.
2. Tabaristan
Farroh is summoned back to Tabaristan by his partisans to take part in the civil war and to win back the throne of his ancestors.
3. Gurgan
Before Farroh can march on Amol, the capital of Tabaristan, he must secure his position in the eastern province of Gurgan.
4. Amol
This mission is unusual. Farroh arrived from Gurgan only with a small band of cataphracts, his personal bodyguards, and a number of civilian settlers. He can not recruit new soldiers and his right to interfere into the affairs of allied commanders is limited. But he must capture Amol to be crowned and to become the King of Tabaristan.
The story continues in Prince of Persia II |

Slaatje I will shine some light on this.
The 60/59 taunt bug is one of the infamous saved game bugs. The taunt works for sure if you haven’t saved before, which is unlikely as the trigger is at the games’ end. You should save game before the question is asked, preferable before the boat trip. If it doesn’t work, try again or quit game and restart AoK:TC, with some luck it will work sooner or later. ;) About saved game bugs go here: http://aok.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/aokcgi/display.cgi?action=ct&f=4,32089,,all or read my review. :) |

__ I have enjoed this campaign. Before I played the short, but really good campaign, titled "Rurick" - that was fun too.
__ In the second scenario, -nothing happen if in the very beginng you chose the taunt #51. It is supposed that you will be receinving the control over some reserve shrotly after you have taunted, - but nothing.
Well, if you chose the taunt #52 - than it is much better, and it seems that you anyway do the right thing only if you taunt "52". I.e. the taunt "51" leads to nowhere eventually - death will be your destiny - is that intentional? or it is a bug?
__ I think the "swine trick" (scenario #3) is good, but it is of a bit of slow action. You need to wait quite appreciable time before those boars can destroy the castle. Maybe, they needed their Attack Points to be boosted. Anyway it too late to change that.
__ The fourth scenario is tricky: I liked it.
Thank for this campaing,

This is superb. I had an indecent amount of fun playing it. It shouldn't be allowed.[Edited on 11/08/05 @ 01:28 PM]

Cool! Does this scenario have any basis in the PoP games? Particularly the Sands of Time Saga (Sands of Time, Warrior Within, Kindred Blades/Two Thrones)? Or was it a completely new storyline with a title that you selected because it sounds cool. Seems interesting! |

It's right, that you can die many times in PoP, but I would rather say it is good. You can actually expand your strategy skills that way, even it might be VERY annoying.
PS: Everyone that had complete PoP1 should continue to Ulio. Ulio gives difficult challenges and is a excellent campaign. |

I liked this campaign. But when I accepted the emir's offer to wage war with his opponent it purely didint work. I had to cheat to get through the scenario >_> |

Playability: 4
'Prince of Persia' is a good campaign about a prince who tries to retake his kingdom. I had a lot of fun playing this campaign, serving under different emirs was nice and it really sustained my interest, especially in the first scenario, because one never knew when an ally could turn enemy or vice versa. However instructions are a bit vague, leading to confusion, and I initially could not complete the first scenario because after defeating omar my prince was dismissed and the way back was blocked by a castle. I went back to a saved game and destroyed the castle with seige rams earlier.
Balance: 5
The campaign was well balanced, I had to reload many times but not that many that it got frustrating. The second scenario was a bit difficult because the siege workshop got burnt up and the rams had been fragile etc. The last scenario is entertaining because my allies and enemies have the same technology but I only help to better the technology, swinging the balance in favor of may allies. In many places the enemy targeted Sophia who got killed
Creativity: 5
This campaign literally crawls with creativity. A most unusual setting in the persian lands, the beginning with the music and the hawks flying away instantly caught my attention. Iron boars attacking,driving rams, etc were amusing to watch. The power struggles among the various emirs was brought out vividly.
Map Design: 5
The map design is excellent. It really suits the atmosphere and the setting.
Story/Instructions: 4
A very good story, but rather vague instructions. One has to pay a good deal of attention to onscreen insructions and even then one is confused as to what to do.In the first scenario one is not told anything... as in real life when you are dismissed you must look around for another task. However people would like to see something on that nice clean objectives screen. I give this 4.
Additional Comments:
This campaign is a MUST PLAY!! For the unusual setting in Persia if not anything else.

WOW!!! awesome game, the story line is rly interesting and fun. I like all the Emirs. O but i found a little confusion at parts where u have to type a # too accept or reject. for Example, at the part where u have to talk to the Emir(Gray color) he asks u if uu want to be one of his commanders, In the instructions it says "press enter and type 1 to accept" or "press enter and type 2 to reject", when i did that(i accepted) it didn't work. I found that actually have to go to the "Bugle" at the top, check off only the person ur talking to then type watever and send.
One more thing, at the second senario where u have to defeat (purple) I don't understand how to beat him w/so few men
Other than that your campagin is great! Keep up the Great work |

Okay, the first I played on Medium. It was excellent.
The second senario on medium: Is it possible to win? There's 5 tower of flies to knock out on the outer section, plus umpteen enemies. I was left with 3 seige rams to knock out the inner section which had 60+ enemy troops, a monk, two scorpions, and a castle, with 27 of my own men. Tsk, tsk.
I'll post back on 3rd senario. |
