Um... I am ok at grammar. But you should probably make it so when the story ends (as you said) have them in Wesnoth so other people can create further campaigns for them.

Post2: So whats for the first scenario? Do they start as mercenaries or do they become that in the campaign?

Ah boo, Bennoman beat me to it. I was gonna volunteer, :(

Hopefully there's still a spot for me. I am trying to get back into writing while not actually being able to code at the moment.

I honestly don't know if this should be the case. It works quiet well in an encapsulated story, I don't see it crying out for a sequel campaign.

Besides... I don't know if Wesnorth should be the final point for the group, after all the actions of this group of mercenaries could well be seen as a provocation to war... Wesnoth may not appreciate them returning to their lands after causing such turmoil.

Well man why not join in? Two heads are better than one and all that...

You've shown on here you can write, and have the enthusiasm for it.

Well I probably jumped the gun a bit earlier inviting other people on as its not my campaign.

But if you come up with a good idea I will incorporate it.

Well, maybe for the first scenario the get offered the mercenary job, I guess it's a start.

Hulavuta, sure! You'd be a great help with writing; I know from your work in Fossil. :)

Powershot, you're certainly welcome to share ideas and such if you like, and maybe you can help with proofreading for grammar and spelling later. For now, I don't want to get too many people involved. It becomes harder to find ways of effectively spreading the workload out. (I know from WFE...)

I think this thread has basically served its purpose now. We'll move the discussion to PMs for now, and once we have a playable version with a couple of scenarios, I'll make a thread for the campaign in Scenario and Campaign Development. There's no need for further posting in this thread, and I don't want it to drift off-topic and end up getting locked, so please refrain from posting here unless you really have something you need to say.

Thanks, everyone! :)

Hell.. I didn't find this thread until now... :cry: :doh:

I have been working on a campaign featuring the Khalifate for ~1.5 months (the progress is slooow), guess I'll just continue with my original plans then :)

Good luck with your plans anyway, Wesnoth definitely needs more high quality campaigns ^_^

Maybe there could be two Khalifate clans, and then they make peace. :)

...so what's the problem? There's no reason there can't be two Khalifate campaigns. (In fact I'm sure there will be many more than that...) There are an innumerable number of campaigns for each of the other default factions. It doesn't even matter if they contradict; neither of our campaigns is mainline canon, so they don't have to agree with each other.

Good luck with your campaign as well- I'm looking forward to playing it. :)

Apologies for the non-constructive post, but I'd like to add a word of incentive to you both: I'd be very interested in a Khalifate campaign (and I'm sure many other people would be too). Perhaps you could even begin defining some possible concepts for mainline Khalifate history. :)

Good luck!

Yeah, there is absolutely no problem, I just noticed this thread and thought it worth a post :)

I never thought of that, if they make a very good Khalifate campaign it might go mainline. :hmm:
