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
• Boss battle = a recurring feature of Invasion of the Unknown
• Minigames = there are puzzles and minigames in the campaign that significantly differ from standard Wesnoth gameplay

Faction/Era:

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

Custom units:

• Link to the unit tree for cases that don't feel sufficiently described by Faction / Era entry.

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.

While the belligerence of orcs is nothing new, their intensifying attacks on a fledgling colony of elves in Pindir Forest begin to show signs of a deeper malice, forcing Galuldur, the young son of the colony's adventurous founder Galur, to venture out of his forest's friendly trees in search of help. His simple errand quickly turns into a frantic quest to unearth the roots of the mysterious evil threatening his people. As you lead him through unknown lands, Galuldur, forced to match wits with unexpected adversaries at nearly every turn in a desperate attempt to save his world, quickly learns that the world is neither a friendly nor a simple place.

May they finally free the Great Continent from its chaos, or perish in the foolish attempt of restoring peace and life to the lands.

Episode II - Armageddon: As the shadow of Chaos covers the entire continent, an assorted group of foolish heroes prepares a counter-attack to the Empire, with one unique goal in their minds: defeat the evil Emperor, whoever it is. Lead these courageous living and non-living warriors to victory, and rediscover lost secrets of the history.

Version: 1.90.6

Note (taptap): Despite its acknowledged flaws (generic hero, plot holes, deus ex machina moments, gameplay issues in the 2nd part) this is undoubtedly the most iconic campaign in UMC. It single-handedly redefines the elvish history and sketches a cosmology for the ages after the fall. With the Chaos empire and its various allies it introduces an era worth of factions to single-player play. At the same time it features some of the most beautiful maps in Wesnoth and stunning art on par with mainline campaigns.

Legend of the Invincibles

Part I: Shrouded in Darkness (5 chapters, 90 scenarios) - A pair of heroes, after stopping an orcish thread, are outcast into caves, where they have no other choice than to become liches in order to survive. They preserved their human appearance and moral principles, and fight in various skirmishes against evil (although using evil methods sometimes), until the Fall, when they are buried alive under the ashes of the third sun.

Part II: Into the Light (4 chapters, 96 scenarios at the moment) - Long after the Fall, the lich heroes awaken. Searching for more power, they manage to resurrect themselves as living beings, but this time more powerful and cleaned from the evil within them. But the evil from inside them continued to exist, and started a skirmish to conquest the world. Stopping the skirmish caused an even worse disaster...

[Maintainer's Note: At some point, I am intending to completely re-work this campaign to be a multi-player campaign, with one side led by Sparxus and one by Gravirivus. If anyone would like to take this on or has ideas for how to accomplish this, let us know. Nevertheless, its playable as a single player campaign now with some nice ideas that could be developed further.]

Legend of the Invincibles

Part I: Shrouded in Darkness (5 chapters, 90 scenarios) - A pair of heroes, after stopping an orcish thread, are outcast into caves, where they have no other choice than to become liches in order to survive. They preserved their human appearance and moral principles, and fight in various skirmishes against evil (although using evil methods sometimes), until the Fall, when they are buried alive under the ashes of the third sun.

Part II: Into the Light (4 chapters, 96 scenarios at the moment) - Long after the Fall, the lich heroes awaken. Searching for more power, they manage to resurrect themselves as living beings, but this time more powerful and cleaned from the evil within them. But the evil from inside them continued to exist, and started a skirmish to conquest the world. Stopping the skirmish caused an even worse disaster...

Faction/Era: Elves, Loyalists, Undead, Dwarves; but they advance past their usual maximum level

Version: 2.5.0

Note: The most unique feature of this campaign is its RPG-like unit development system, enemies drop items units can use, leaders are stronger than most usual units and all units get AMLA (after maximum level advancement) after reaching their maximum level (that is also increased by a load of additional level 4 units).

Ruthless

A bard (an aging criminal) is walking in wasteland. Nothing but two hands in his pockets, and nothing but stones around. Suddenly he sees a knight on errand--a dangerous opponent, especially in broad daylight. The two strangers are soon sitting by the campfire, and the bard is telling a story. (Beginner level, 10+ fights).

Note: (Adamant14) Recommendable campaign, with smart unusual ideas and a good detailed story. You fight with few units on small but perfect maps. About the difficulty: The author describes his campaign as 'beginner level', but for me the difficulty is rather NORMAL than EASY.
