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 whole campaign and your faction or some other information about the units available.

Campaigns available in the 1.10.x stable version.

Fate of a Princess

Part I: Baldres, a notorious robber baron, flees Wesnoth with his followers and sets off into the northlands to evade the king's justice. The baron's deeds and misdeeds are to change the balance of power between orcs and non-orcs throughout the northlands, and will carry consequences long after his eventual death.

Part II: The Greenwood elves face a crisis which demands the return of the queen's estranged half-elven half-sister, Baldres' daughter. Two brave young elves must make a perilous journey to find her and bring her back to her former home. If they fail, the whole northlands will be engulfed in war with the resurgent orcs...
