Prince of Persia

Hi, everyone

An upcoming mod of mine. The levelset made with Roomshaker has been completed quite some time back, at the end of 2009. But I later decided to try out additional changes with PR. I unfortunately discovered that attempting to change the music was impossible as the results were messed up. So I just decided to modify its titles. I will try to come up with some storyline regarding it.

Cool! I can't wait to try it!

Good news!! If that can be considered as one.....

As a college student, I had to manage between exams and courseworks, while trying to find time to finish this mod.
Anyway, I'm now glad to share the completed mod here.

Battle Hardened can be considered more of a heavier sword fighting mod than Combat & Adventures, my earlier mod.
I also hoped that I've created a proper difficulty progression that will at least be interesting for newbies. Of course, in the later levels, higher skills will be required as well as exercising caution especially when you will be battling durable foes with just one life!

Enjoy it!

Thanks for taking the time to make this mod. I'm sure we all can use some training with sword fights and this mod seems to have the right atmosphere for fighting guards since there doesn't appear to be many puzzles to solve. Congrats on releasing the 2nd 2010 mod, I am planning to do the 3rd.

Thanks. I'm also looking forward to trying a new mod as well!

That's very boring I think. It's similar to The Tournament, but only incoming guards is no fun^^

Really? Have you actually played through the whole game??

Of course it is inspired by mods like The Tournament and a few others.

Initially the first level might have been too simple, because I wanted to create a better difficulty progression compared to my previous mod, but I'm pretty sure it should be decent by maybe Level 3 or 4. In fact if you made it as far as Level 11, let's see if its still boring to you. Please do not simply give such a negative review discouraging others from trying this mod

I've added it here:

why cheat doesn't function? when I pass to other level, there 18 seconds... it will be inconvenient to me to study the card and to do video

The cheat code is "bhardnd".
Start with CHEATS.bat to allow level-skipping with Shift-l.
To immediately start, for example, level 5, run: CHEATS.bat 5

Yes the cheat code pointed out by Norbert is right. You can right click on Cheats.bat and click Edit.

Anyway the cheats codes for:
Combat & Adventures - megahit
Battle Hardened 2 - bhardnd

yaqxsw and Norbert, would u need the cheat code for Battle Hardened III? I can PM to you both first.
Because it is a fairly new mod I don't want to spoil it yet for players who haven't tried it out yet.
By the way, I think soon enough both yaqxsw & Moscow Tracer would be speed-running BH3 perhaps?

I don't need it, because I've already finished (and reviewed) that mod.
Also, I already know the cheat code: there's a utility I released in 2011 (called diffpop) that shows all non-default settings of PRINCE.EXE files.

yes, cheat on PM. I make video with speedrun, but on nice, clever and difficult level... Other level i try make shortcut, all level are long
can you say, which level is difficult?

Ok, done the PM...

Erm... which levels are difficult, I would say like how Norbert reviewed my mod in his page.

Level 1-3 are perhaps short. You can aim for the shortest time here
Level 4-7 are a bit time consuming. And a "boss fight" (fighting a long hp guard) may be hard to speedrun
Level 8 onwards are quite tough and can be very time consuming, unless there is a shortcut or bug I don't know of that might be discovered

I was just kidding, it's just I saw how you 2 masters are actually speed-running each others mods in Youtube and I can't even make it past a few rooms until I saw the walkthroughs
