• 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)

  • Survival = being exposed to changing, spawning enemies while remaining on the same map
  • Large Battle = large number of units on the battlefield, sizely maps
  • Simulation = campaigns feat. terrain modification, alternative resources
  • Boss battle = the challenge is to defeat a single powerful enemy unit
  • 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.

They preserved their original 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.

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).

You are an outcast Darklander now living as a mercenary in the Sea States and the rumors you hear indicate that they will be coming to your people.

Secrets of the Ancients

From the Journal of Ardonna of Tarrynth:

It's unfair that we humans must die after so few years. Though this is the natural order, we need not embrace it! The lords on the Green Isle knew how to live forever. Pursuit of that knowledge was declared illegal by King Haldric I, but I believe it is worth the risk: If I can rediscover the secrets of the ancients, not only will I cheat death, I will become a hero to the whole continent!

Eras

Era of Four Moons

An era based of the cultures in fictional world Ialfa. There are a core set of four which have had the blunt of the balancing effort put into them, and an additional four which represent other parts of the world and are not complete or balanced.

Author: Velensk

Status:

Faction Descriptions: The four core factions are:

-The Highlanders (Chaotic/Neutral): A nomadic people living along the savanna and steppes. Units generally have high hp and low resistances and good movement and defense in the hills. Features cheap mobile infantry and recruitable level 2 Elephants that act as a living battering ram.

-The Imperialists (Lawful): A massive oligarchy centered around an emperor and his house. Most units do well in the open and not well in forests. Can create durable positions and hold open ground exceptionally well but most units do not inflict a lot of damage. Features units with 50% defense in the open and suicidal units.

-The Sea States (Lawful/Neutral): A collation of small mercantile city states. Can field a variety of versatile units with no exceptional strengths or weaknesses.

-The Darklanders (Chaotic): A society of tribal Jungle people. Units generally have low hitpoints but good defense and movement in forests. Features very efficient melee power and access to both slows and berserk.

The other factions are:

-The Dalefolk (Neutral): A cluster of rural settlements known for it's magicians and inventors: Most units do exceptionally well in mountains. Features some good defensive units, the shapeshifter (who changes form depending on terrain), and a powerful melee magician.

-The Pygmies (Liminal): A strange race of tiny jungle dwellers shrouded in mystery: Most units do very well in forests and swamps and are very dodgy at the cost of experience points. Also, most units will heal themselves slightly over time. Feature effective mobile level 0s and many powerful support units.

-The Whites (Chaotic/Neutral): Barbarians from another continent: Units are generally mobile and high on hp but have low defenses when not in rough terrain. Feature powerful magicians and a steadfast berserker.

-The Freemen (Lawful): A society of desert dwellers split between the city dwellers and the nomads. Units tend to be durable and adept in deserts and hills and not as good in forests. Features units with stun and recruitable level 2 rocs.

• Faction Descriptions:

Sky Kingdom - powerful magi of all kinds. Their knowledge allows them to cast amazing spells and summon creatures like unstopable Golems or mysterious Mus. Masters of Elements and Gurus are one of the most powerful human beings in the Era.

Al-Kamija - these proud people are good warriors and spell casters of the desert. They use magical circles and scrolls to summon amazing creatures like Jinns or elementals from other dimension called Abyss. These creatures can't be poisoned, which is a great advantage. (The campaign "To Lands Unknown" is mainly about the story of this faction)

Tharis - fearsome Tharis faction is very dangerous especially at night. Cruel people of Tharis with their black magic and dreadful monsters like Hydra can demolish everything standing on their way. Being so powerful in attack, Tharis have no healer, so they need to push forward at all costs.

Kharos - this strange name is the name of a beautiful country ruled by prophets of light. These peaceful people are masters of defense and support. Their formations of healers and Shielders assisted by Silver Warriors, who can teleport between friendly villages, are very hard to destroy.

Barbarians - the best in hand-to-hand combat. This multi-cultural society divided into Goblins, Orcs, Cyclops and Trolls with their own advantages and disadvantages can be hard opponent, but separately they are very weak.

Runemasters - these Dwarves use runic magic and equipment and are well known of their protection against magic. The Runemasters create steam machines like Gyrocopters, Robots and even mighty Mechanical Dragons. Units from this faction are very resistant but slow.

Dark Blood Alliance - this faction is composed of agile lizards, giant frogs, wyverns swallowing enemies and salamanders, which have developed to perfection the art of disguise. At the head of the community stand shamans known for their water magic, which is used in the fight as well as in healing.

Destroyers - a terrifying undead creations consisting of civilizations long gone...
