It doesn't seem like it's very good. Any suggestions?

From what i've seen, many people (me included) don't play your campaign because they don't like drakes. Nothing you can do about that, since it is a drake campaign.

Such is the price you pay for making a campaign for an unpopular race.

You should redo this poll and include more options to find out why. Some people may never have heard of it...

Well I dont care about the Drakes fraction at all...the only thing is that it is very unbalanced... (fraction against others)

I dont like but I also dont hate your campaing.It is just a campaign

! I think if someone wants to have fun he/she can play your campaign without any problems...its fun but sometimes a little poor(meaning plot)
We shouldnt forget that this campaing is the best campaing about drakes (it is the only one

)

so why not make a Wose campaign?

But okay, I'll redo the poll.

The poll question is worded in a way that can only depress MadMax.
The query misses anyone who plays it but doesn't read the forums.
Per comments, there are votes "no" from folks who commented rather a lot in the play-testing forum, or who have played it through once or so. This is stiatistically silly, since if you've played it once, you've played it = yes. Also void of statisticaly relevance as it doesn't relate to folks who'll play any campaign through once and then look for something else, or pull up another random map and have at...

Just found the campaign a week or so ago.

The gargoyles are a hoot.

Just for fun, I gave lots of gold to Malakar in the first scenario one day, just to push the invading humans back into the water. It was jolly. Gnarrr.

Playing (normally again); "Blockade" (scenario 17, sailing back home) and having no fighting encounters with either merfolk or nagas is simple, fulfills the stated victory conditions, gets the "onward" message, but bogs down: it's not victory and it's not defeat, but it doesn't go anywhere. Do I need to pound on both "enemy" leaders? If so, in the sense of the storyline, why? And if so, why isn't that the stated victory condition?

I use fmunoz's graphics and EP's code.

It's a bug. At one time, you did have to kill the enemy leaders, but I changed that and forgot to make the code changes. I *WOULD* upload a new version, but I can't seem to connect to the campaign server. I have attached a fixed Blockade.cfg, which is also considerably harder.

It could also be at least partially because it's not finished and standard yet and people tend to start with the standard campaigns which come with Wesnoth. I don't mind the drakes.. in fact I'll probably play your campaign sometime in the future.

My concern about this campaign is that most scenarios doesn't offer a strategic challenge. Too many scenarios don't allow the recruiting of units and are just attack the nearest unit -> attack the nearest unit -> attack the nearest unit -> win

That was five months ago and before the campaign server came out, don't mind it.

The only scenarios that do not allow recruiting are Rebellion, Open Ocean (which is not even a battle scenario, just blockade running), and Epilogue (which is not even a true scenario).

I had play it several times (during development). With this new drakes it is COOL.
Thanks to all developers, very good story -> good campain.

If I played in the past but not in the present, what sould I answer.

Anyway the reason I left the campaign is the same as Turin. I don't like Drakes, and you can't make nothing to it.

But I want to encourage you. I think it is necesary a campaign of Drakes (it is necesary at least one for each faction).

I liked the way it started, i don't want to spoiler, but that was original.

I liked also the animals that spread across the map.

But, sorry, I don't like those reptiles.

The poll is hopelessly out of date, and I will delete it.

EDIT: Crap, I can't.

I don't really like them in MP either.
