 This combines the popular idea of cooperative Survival games with replayability and unpredictability. I really liked the basic idea of Survival-type scenarios, but hated the deja-vu effect and the benefit a player had who remembered exactly which spawns appeared where and when.

 - '''Map Generators''': with the WML nowadays it would be possible to include a standard mp inside a [terrain_mask] on top of a randomly generated map, and with some smart rules create a Map Generator that always stays up-to-date with the latest changes of the standard mp maps (just like Borderland Wars does).

	A much asked-for feature, yet something few people tried to do. The beginnings were hacky workarounds trying to recreate the single-player scenario-to-scenario features in multiplayer. Some experimentation around version 1.1.14ish revealed that the basics were actually there, it was possible to set up MP scenarios so that you start with a recall list from the last scenario. It was just still incredibly fiddly!		A much asked-for feature, yet something few people tried to do.

There would be four AI sides representing grand powers. The players could ally with these (and so, indirectly, with or against each other), and then be the active pawns of the struggle. There would be locations granting units to your recruit lists, and possibilities for changing alliances based on actions ('kill my enemy and you can become my friend').

 The random generator is a clumsy tool. I was dissatisfied with the unbalanced maps of clumped terrain that I got with the packaged generator scenarios, so I made these - WML files that break and mix the terrains a bit more. Made in the 0.8 days but still working today.

 These are maps using the PSEUDORANDOM WML function to apply pre-designed "Tiles" (i.e. map pieces) to a map, replacing many hexes at once. The result is still random, while the "tiles" are actually designed by hand. Sometime in version 0.9, the code was changed to use the [terrain_mask] functionality, which was a great aid here.

+== Temples and Villages and Dominions ==
 This was an attempt at altered victory conditions, specifically conquering a certain number of locations (villages and/or temples). A different gameplay from simply killing all enemy leaders. There were a number of other gimmicks, such as tunnels and temple experience awards (the latter were broken in later version of Wesnoth), but the integration of these game elements into the whole wasn't perfect.
 Here you'll find [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5105 Temples and Villages] and [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6310 Dominions]. They are pretty similar to some of [http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5204 Hieronymus' Scenarios], which were developed around the same time.

 Temples and Villages and Dominions were decent ideas. But why not base that gameplay on the more professional maps that come with the game (and not just rely on my own map-making skills)? Borderland Wars does just that - it takes standard MP maps and adds altered victory conditions and gameplay.
 A number of villages are converted into "towns" that need to be captured for victory. Leaders get reassigned after death (no kill-all-leaders victory condition).

+== Unnatural Winter (Multiplayer Campaign)(version 1.1.18 - 1.2+) ==
 This started out to become a showcase multiplayer campaign - similar to the single-player campaigns in terms of story, where all the player cooperatively solve the missions. The scenarios are designed in a way that the players are tested in their skills to work together strategically - presenting them with a number of simultaneous objectives between which they need to split up their resources and attention.
