Normal

Maybe the "Explore" ones are not totally clear, especially in "Burning Suns", but 90% of the objectives are ok

5. Was there a bug in the campaign/scenario?
I got a problem in Burning Suns : I went to the oasis, then to the ruins, I saw the cross in the oasis a send every unit, and even when there were no enemies I couldn't go throw the scenario

6. Which (if any) changes should be made to make the gamplay more fun.
Maybe a clearer recall system

7. Which (if any) balancing changes should be made to make the MP era more fun?
I appreciate the era the way it is ^^

8. Is/are there errors in spelling/grammar?

Hum... I don't really see what you're talking about, if that's the campaign I took it a week ago so...

[Astoria]

There is an even newer version online.

Ok, Thought I'd give me feedback. I'm only a little way through, but I've got some fairly major problems with it.

In Stronghold and Mysterious Stranger, I've been given incredibly [censored] allies or outrageous situations to deal with. In Mysterious stranger you have no way of influencing the combat between the Twilight Mage and his opponents. He's not on great terrain, so they just beat the [censored] out of him before I could possibly reach him. If he loses too badly, he runs INTO THE FECKING RIVER, where he gets cut up. If he survives a turn in the river, he'll then run right up into the orcish general!

The scenario is pretty easy once you've done all the necessary savescumming just to complete the first fecking part. All in all, this was one of those scenarios that made me almost dump the entire add-on. It's not fun to savescum.

P.S. In that scenario, the Stranger plays the part of the Aragwaithi for some dialogue:
Stranger - "You're welcome, we always help strangers. But, if I may ask, who are you?"

My deacon, Prospero, is the one speaking, rather than the heretic deacon in "tunnel vision"

in the scenarion "Allied Assault" i killed the general from the demons but nothing happend

[Gwynnedrion]

At the burning suns, i get the same problem. I kill all the enemies, reach the oasis with all my units but nothing happens. And I am playing the latest version.

EDIT: restarted and it worked fine

[Konrad2]

in burning sun it is so but i tried it a little time and then it functionate
just try how your units stand around the icon
at best all of the important units around the icon

[Astoria]

Thank you for your input, all the problems are fixed.

[MRDNRA]

I experienced what I suspect to be a bug in the first scenario, where one of the loss conditions being the death of Cryssa (or whatever the warlock's name is), Cryssa got attacked by an Orcish Warlord, but didn't even get hit once, yet it still counted as a loss.

[Destructinator]

I love this campaign [even though i haven't finished yet] anyway I think you should make a campaign about the great fall. just a thought.
