Road To Centurion

Short info: A campaign that helps you learn and then practice modules found on the Centurion, including the needies released before Yahtzee.

Long info: These are some missions I made for myself & my friends to work towards a long term goal of defusing the Centurion, starting from never having played a single modded module before. The objective at first was to practice modules we learned in a more reliable way than to generate random bombs and hope we get what we want. Later, I decided to turn these missions into something that might actually help us learn and introduces us to the modules. For me and my friends, it's worked pretty well. I'm not sure how well it will work for a stranger with different preparation rituals than us, but I figured I'd release it anyway.

The campaign is divided into several sections. Each section contains 22 bombs. The first part of each section will introduce new modules, the middle part will recap what you've learned and give some gimmicky bombs, and the last part contains some staple boss bombs that really test your new abilities, and these don't mess about: If you can do these bombs, you are definitely ready to take on the Centurion as far as that section is concerned. Because of this, even if you're an experienced player, you might find some interesting bombs in this campaign, particularly towards the end of each section.

For experienced players' convenience, the toughest bombs have been conglomerated into a separate table of contents called 'Best Of', to make access for those players who would like a challenge easier.

Note: Since KTANE consists of so much more than only the Centurion. Your journey will not end with the Centurion. Therefore, this campaign will also train you for situations that you would never encounter on the Centurion itself, but that will undoubtably occur in your future endeavours. Especially some of the gimmicky bombs might be ridiculous, and serve more as an intermediate challenge rather than proper preparation for the Centurion. There is no shame in skipping bombs. Getting stuck on bombs doesn't prepare you.

Bombs have been playtested for 1 defuser and 2 experts. An attempt was made to balance most bombs for 1 defuser & 1 expert, but this is not tested. The bombs are possible for EFM, but some of the bombs might be very difficult with only one expert, especially for a new player. Also note that these missions go beyond just priming you for the Centurion. Scenarios are presented that the Centurion never will, to ensure your journey to the Centurion will not be clouded in tunnel vision.
