The basic plot is that the Dwarves are invading the caves of the Dark Elves.

.

Campaign intro wrote:Deep underground evil is spreading. In the form of Elves, yet not so. A race that is called the Dark Elves by many, old wives tales most say. Yet how can old wives tales send Dwarves scurrying from their homes. And to every legend a grain of truth can be found.

The Dark Elves have lived in the silent blackness for years, adapting to a world into which they were cast. They added to their knowledge of the arcane arts, the dark magic. And through this they have wrought a thriving underground society. They had armies, cities, and a ruling queen. They divided into seperate houses, and thus were their lords chosen.

For years they have lived in silence, content to be ignored by the world of light above them, until the greed of the Dwarves drew them to send scouting parties deep into the caves. In search of gold. Greed drove them, but few returned to their great halls unscathed. Those that did return spout incoherent babble, and amongst their words were always talk of strange Clerics of the Night, torturing their chosen victims to death, only to restore them back to life.

The Dwarves put up with this for awhile, until the grand Dwarf Lord sent his young cousin to scout with a party. He came back, days later, alone. He was scarred and he too went on about the mysterious Clerics. So thus the Grand Dwarf Lord's anger was aroused, he amassed his house to strike down his enemies once and for all.

The Queen of the Dark Elves heard tell of the Dwarves anger, and she appointed a new general to the front lines to command her troops. The glorious 10th Legion of the Night.You have been given 11 years to regain your honor, or you will be tortured to death, but not before the Clerics have practised their torturing techniques on you until they get bored. If the Dwarves don't kill you, your men will. Order is difficult to keep, and you are continually stopping fights, punishing your troops, and wishing something horrible would happen. Your watch as the guards alert you of a Dwarvish scout party heading towards the keep. You ready your men, hoping that you die in this battle......

This campaign has 6 complete missions, and the script to one that is not.
It also includes a multiplayer era with Dark Elves.

Chorus of Australian Song:

There's a clerk at the counter of a corner shop, he getts knocked around, pushed to the ground and he says:

What about me! it isn't fair

I've had enough now i want my share, you just take more than you give.

for some strange reason the campaign isn't showing up on the campaign list. I downloaded it, but no show.

Check your data/campaigns folder. If the campaign is inside of an extra folder, post back. It happened to me, and it's starting to happen to others too.

okay, using Windows version wesnoth, and the new threat shows up on my campaign list, and I can select the difficulty level, but then it says, "Unknown scenario: Beginner" where is the scenario that it cannot find? how do ifix the problem?

Assasin · Post by **Assasin** » October 15th, 2005, 12:24 am

thats an old bug that shoulda been fixed by now.

ILikeProgramming · October 15th, 2005, 12:40 am

Doesn't happen on mine. But there does seem to be a wesnoth bug with campaigns.

I don't think it's my mistake.

okay works now, forgot to move the cfg files to the data/campaign folder. But, I still have a problem in that the unit images do not work. I have windows as stated above, should I be miving the image and unti files into the main wesnoth image and unit folders? I did that with the first dark elf images madfe, and it worked somewhat, except that they had a white backround.
