Requirements:

Difficulty:

Please note: Often campaigns introducing new mechanics are listed as expert level on the add-on server, here difficulty means the raw difficulty after the mechanics are understood.

• Unbalanced = If you can't beat the hard mode, it isn't necessarily unbalanced, but if the difficulty changes erraticly from one scenario to the next and only people using the debug mode have seen the final, then it is.
• Easy
• Normal
• Hard

Style:

Please note: Many campaigns will feature more than one style. Please list the most significant ones.

• Skirmish = small to medium sized armies, your standard Wesnoth gameplay
• Dungeon = long and narrow tunnels (not every underground scenario is a dungeon, a dungeon isn't necessarily underground)
• RPG = role playing game elements such as talking with non-player-characters, item collection, dependency on a party of very few adventurers without or limited recruits
• Survival = being exposed to changing, spawning enemies while remaining on the same map
• Large Battle = Eastern Flank in Northern Rebirth, Civil War in Son of the Black-Eye
• Simulation = campaigns feat. terrain modification, alternative resources
• Puzzle = a suddenly presented, but solvable problem, e.g. boss levels and events in Invasion from the Unknown

Faction/Era:

• Era for the whole campaign and more specifically the faction or unit composition you field.

Besieged Druids

A elvish school for druids comes under attack by goblins. It seems more than just a routine raid; is there something more sinister behind this attack? - In Beseiged Druids, you control Eärendil, the surviving teacher at the school, and the many and varied initiates. Not all of these are ordinary students; many have been experimenting with other forms of magic, while others are simply overachievers in some area of study. Unfortunately, they are not especially good at combat, at least initially. Together with a very small contingent of surviving guards, it is up to these students to save the island of Aleron from disaster.
