Poll: Best new campaign of 2018

Post by James_The_Invisible »

Another year has passed and once again it is the time to choose best singplayer campaign of the year. 2018 was a year of many new campaigns: over 30 campaigns were published for the first time. The amount is too high for a regular poll, so everyone who wants to vote this time has to actually make a post and write the name of their favorite campaign. You can choose 1 from this list:
  • A Sangine Tale (Ani's Legacy, Ani's Quest) by Aetheric Forum topic
  • Sand in the Wind by Mathbrush Forum topic
  • Wrath of the Lich Lords by Sur_191 Forum topic
  • A Fiery Birth by Mathbrush Forum topic
  • Peasant Uprising by Brass Harpooner Forum topic
  • A Little Adventure by Argesilao Forum topic
  • Royalties Forgotten by ResExsention (no thread on official forums)
  • A Magicians Tale by Argesilao Forum topic
  • Voyage of a Drake Samonella Forum topic
  • Purger of Evil by ResExsention Forum topic
  • Hunted outlaws by Lordlewis Forum topic
  • Tunnel Rats by TreeHugger Forum topic
  • The Three Sisters Saga by Argesilao Forum topic
  • Operation Flight of the Pelicans by Nenau Forum topic
  • Chieftain Granak by Xara Forum topic
  • Rebirth in Nature by RainKnight Forum topic
  • Epic Between the Tides by Argesilao Forum topic
  • The Revenge of Kumakatok by Tehlazercat, ProgrammerNerd4, rosearmor Forum topic
  • The Battle for the Contrabass Clarinet by Kaylin, Beatrice Forum topic
  • Hive Mind by Shadowvox, Lucas Forum topic
  • Invasion of the Undead by Powxjason, craftermatt360, Biggie_Cheese122, Necronomicon Forum topic
  • The Revenge of the Five by Max, Brandon, Hudson Forum topic
  • Lich Terror by Pawles22 & Serpent7776 Forum topic
  • The Home by Centurio Forum topic
  • The Underdog by eigth_eyes Forum topic
  • Exploration of Life and Death by KC Hedges (no thread on official forums)
  • The Wolves' Last Path by skeptical_troll Forum topic
  • Home of the Undead by Anagkai, AnarethsEnde; graphics: Triakanthos Forum topic
  • In Defence of Gaer Derole by Elivaras (no thread on official forums)
  • The Garardine Ascendancy by Argesilao Forum topic
  • Xalzar Quest by Argesilao Forum topic
Given the amount of interest in previous poll, I think I will let the poll run for whole January.

We only choose one, our very favorite, right?

I have played almost none of these, but I thought "A Fiery Birth" was very good.

Yes, you choose 1. So your vote goes to A Fiery Birth?

EDIT:
I'm voting for 'Voyage of a Drake' by Samonella. I like it the best out of those I've managed to finish so far.

Oh, it looks like the time for voting has run out so I am going to post the results.
Most (2, was it not 3 at some point?) votes went to Voyage of a Drake. Cogratulations, Samonella. Second place is shared by A Fiery Birth by Mathbrush, Sand in the Wind by Mathbrush and The Garardine Ascendancy by Argesilao who all received 1 vote.
Too less people voted this time in my opinion but one of the reasons could be that they had to actually post, not just do a click.

You seem to think that everyone plays all of the UMC campaigns, but they have some reason not to vote in your polls. I think the real problem is that most people haven't played more than one or two so they don't feel comfortable declaring one of them to be the best.

The Founding of Borstep,
Secrets of the Ancients,
