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 = 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:

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.

Galuldur's First Journey
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.

Invasion from the Unknown
Episode I - Seeking the Light: Long after the Fall, the last forest elves are forced to abandon their safe valley, and find themselves resorting to the dark means of necromancy in order to survive the perils and challenges of this new harsh world. 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.

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.

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.

Note: This campaign is a "Dwarvish dungeon crawler" (It currently contains about as many surface scenarios as underground though.) and is intended to be challenging for experienced players on hard whilst suitably easy on easy. I develop the campaign with the wesnoth development version and I advise to play with that, but it is intended to work almost equally well with the stable wesnoth version (except for features only available in the wesnoth development version).

Note: (Maintainer) Working on this issue, the next release (due at the end of November, hah!) should bring easy difficulty back to the level of a reasonable introduction to the IE, while the hard difficulty will also become slightly easier. With any luck, this will be the last release before version 1.0 of the campaign].
