[SP/CAMP] Dying Ember
Please note that the following second and third chapters of the campaign unfortunately were cancelled.
Of course the first chapter with its 10 missions is still here and I won’t delete it. If you want to play it, give it a go – if you like story based and cinematic campaigns, you could have some nice hours with it – after all it has 10 missions. I’d be happy to get feedback even though I don’t plan to fix any bugs or release a new version anymore. Anyway, be aware that there won’t be a continuation of the story/campaign, which means that many open questions won’t be answered and the end might feel like a teaser that never ever will be satisfied. 😀
For those few who liked this and were waiting for the story to continue – I’m sorry, guys… 🙁 The thing is that I simply can’t bring up enough motivation to get on with it, even though some missions of the next chapter are already in a somewhat playable status and even though the whole plot itself is more or less set up – including some nice twist and stuff.
Thanks to all who played and provided feedback.
I’d appreciate it if you tried out my other missions/campaigns.[forums.bohemia.net]

CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION:
"Dying Ember" is (or rather was) was a SP campaign-project for Arma 3. As a prequel to Bohemia Interactive’s "The East Wind", its plot is embedded into the Arma 3-universe and its timeline. The project was supposed to consist of three chapters, of which the first one (this one here) was a finalist in the "Make Arma Not War" contest.
This first chapter contains 10 missions. It portraits:
- The Kavala coup d’etat in 2026
- The following establishment of a military dictatorship by the Altis Armed Forces (AAF)
- The beginnings of a resistance movement
Pavlos, the main character, and his best friends experience the 2026 Kavala coup d’etat and fight the following totalitarian military regime, in order to get back their and Altis’ freedom. They experience the fall of the democratic government and start resisting oppression and non-existent freedom of opinion, even though at first they have only themselves and almost no equipment.
The second and third chapters (which were cancelled) would have been set in the Altian civil war and the time of the Jerusalem Cease Fire of 2030.
HOW TO LAUNCH:
After Steam has downloaded it, start Arma 3 via the Arma 3 launcher with Dying Ember as an activated mod.
NOTES:
- A ReadMe file is contained in the Dying Ember mod folder (in the Arma 3 game folder)
- Mods are not recommended. Many players have reported a showstopper in a certain cutscene (it doesn’t continue), which is caused by mods. Of course, feel free to try it out – you can also deactivate mods for this single mission, if it causes problems. It’s only a short one.
- The weapon persistence feature might be bugged (weapons or ammo missing), among other things because of this bug[feedback.arma3.com] (please vote!…)
