Well, I was basing my criticism of this approach off the fact that you're surrendering the defensive advantage of the centre castle. LoW only covers Kalenz's rise to fame, not what he did after becoming famous. Kalenz appears in later campaigns(DM and HttT) because he's still alive and is still needed, being the Elves' most competent military commander and all. Even the last scenario is only a few decades after the earlier ones, and SoF takes place in-between the penultimate and last scenarios of LoW, I think. When I last played it (before it got to mainline), LoW ended even after the beginning of HttT (Kalenz arrived at the map of HttT's first scenario, and mops up the orcs after Delfador and Konrad fled).īut maybe those scenarios (centuries after the main part of LoW) are now not part of LoW any more. So to make it simple, here's the order of the mainline campaigns as determined by reading through the History page: The Great Rings wrote:The campaigns' chronological order is clearly stated in the link SpenceLack provided, even if you have to read through a lot of other material to find them all. Of course both these options assume that you aren't going to try to assassinate the undead leaders. I'd say that it is actually much easier to hold out there than it is in the castle. Your enemies run out of strength and if you play it right (and had sufficiently powerful units) you probably have not had more than two or three losses. Then the blue skeletons/adepts arrive but as it should be very simple to defeat them as it should be day by that point. Rather than reaching you mostly at the same time you will encounter the purple ghosts first (who go down easy to mages/paladins those go down easy then you have a bit of time to heal and establish your position before you fight the purple skeletons and the blue chocobones but neither of these should be very hard to defeat as they attack from separate directions. Moving to the woods changes the flow at which the enemy units reach you. On the other hand, you must be a decent (or very lucky) player if you managed to survive from that position. On the one hand, that's one of the worst ideas I've ever heard. i really thought it was impossible to do that. One reason for that was, that i had almost lost my entire army (except for the main characters +1 or 2 units) in the scneario with the 3 undead leaders where u have to survive 12 rounds. i barely made it to round 12 almost drowning in tides of undead scum.
I didnt know about white mages and paladins and tried to survive hiding everybody in that small forest to the upper left. one reason for that was, that i had almost lost my entire army (except for the main characters +1 or 2 units) in the scneario with the 3 undead leaders where u have to survive 12 rounds. my army was not that big and i had not much money. i just wondered how i would be possible to beat that huge army on open field.
when i tried httt the first time i played without "save-load-cheat" but in the last scenario, the battle in weldyn i failed miserably.
some campaigns are really not for beginners. So yeah i think the order really doesnt matter.Īh and yes. i never imagined elves in a desert scenario but it looks really cool and is an interesting idea. Now im at "under a burning sun" which is reeeeaally nice. I played "heir to the throne" first, "a tale of two brothers" and then "an orcish incursion" Second Edit: For some reason I missed Liberty. Rise of Wesnoth is not a beginner campaign. The Legend of Wesmere (ends after The Scepter of Fire)Įdit: Though if the OP is a new player, I might advise that they consider not playing the campaigns in chronological order. The campaigns' chronological order is clearly stated in the link SpenceLack provided, even if you have to read through a lot of other material to find them all. The others, I can't really recall at all. NR and tHoT fall after HttT (which is somewhere in the middle), as does SotBE, SoF falls before it.
