Very well done!
Just finished "Pursuit"- wow! Love it!
I had to re-start 3 times to get through it, but I did not use what I had learned to "cheat". I still sent troops down dead ends, got munched up by bad critters, and stepped on "hot tiles" that triggered massive attacks.
I finished in exactly 70 turns and ended up with 65,000+ gold (yes, 65,000+!), a special weapon I can't wait to use, a bunch of level 3 Dwarvish Lords, a pack of level 2 Outlaws, a Great Mage, 2 White Mages, a Druid, and some Guardsmen.
I don't want to spoil this for anyone but I strongly suggest you do all your recruiting- and I mean a TON of recruiting- all by Tallin at the bottom right from the start. I suggest recruiting only Thugs. Buy every one you can- spend every gold piece you have. If you win, you get it all back and then some!
Be VERY careful what characters get Holy Water. You can't change your mind later if you find you've made a mistake. You should not engage your Holy Water fighters until after you clear the long main hallway. If you use them too soon, you are screwed. You MUST coordinate your assaults so as to clear the main hall while you are arming with Holy Water; you must clear the Dungeon while clearing the left and right passages; and you must carefully time your attack on Malifor with your looting of the Treasury. Use your troops wisely, use the healers well, and watch your turns- 70 is cutting it right to the bone.
Nasty surprises await- be warned. Even killing a character can be worse that not killing it- if you kill it the "wrong" way!
Your losses will make Gettysburg look like a church ice cream social. Expect to lose 95% of the units you recruit and a couple you came in with.
Very well done indeed. I can't wait for "Old Friend"!

You know, you guyz are right, The Persuit is a bit to hard. Lots of enemies and not enough room to kill them. Anyhow, that is fixed now (hopefully) in verison 0.4.4. It's basically the same, I just gave you a bit more room for all that fancy swordplay (or axeplay, or clubplay, whattever you are using 
).
And oops, I accidently erased the campaign. There goes all the download count. Ahh well. No big deal. Seccond time I did that.
And thanks for the feedback Mortsubite, glad you liked it! The remember everyone, I would say the same rules still apply for the new version, you just move though it a bit more faster (for the benifit of those playing on medium and hard), so cordination is even more important!

I killed Malifor, and he re-appeared on a keep down on the left. I killed him again, and he appeard in the wall. Killed him again, and he appeard in the wall again. (each time I did get the messages)
the 4th time i killed him with a dragon stick, he just disappeared. No message, no game over. Don't know what to do now....
Also, I did have many times when the enemy recruited, and they would up being recruited in the walls, or even in adjacent passages.

Uh oh! You let him get away 
Well I don't want to spoil it for you, but try killing him with different weapons and/or unit types. If axes and hammers wont' work try clubs, or swords, or arrows, or fire. I don't know why he just dissapeared like that. Could you send me a replay?
Oh, and when they are being "recruted" they are not actuall recruting. They are just appearing. So if one of your units are in the hexes where they are supposed to be then they will cram im wherever they can.

To your problem with more than one leader:
I believe, if one side has two or more leaders (canrecruit=1), recruit only works, if all leaders of the side are on a keep, and only the leader with the smallest x,y-coordinates can recruit (on the castle hexes connected with his keep, not sure if small x or small y coordinate is more important).

Geez, that sucks. Well, I delated the "canrecruit=1" from Hamel so that takes care of that for now. Does anybody know if there is a way to have two leaders who can recruit?
But anyhow life goes on. Version 0.5 is on the server and yes, that means a new Scenario. Oh, and watch your step. I am an evil person who likes my supprises.

Version 0.5.3 is up on the server. All I basically did was tweek “The Persuit� a little bit and added a few things to “Old Friend.�
I am sorry I keep changing the icons, it’s just hard to find the right symbol for your campaign. But I think this one is here to stay. Hey, after all the name of the image IS “dwarven-doors.png)

I am currently attempting to upload version 0.5.5 on the server. In this version I have added a new music track to "Infested Caves" and "The Persuit" (same track for both). Check it out and see what you think. I REALLY could use some feedback on that one.

Hey man am I going to have to fix all of the {GOLD} and {TURNS} macros every time I update your campaign?
I checked out caves.ogg - it's pretty cool. I suggest that you try to tone down the echo a little if you can. That way it will sound like the other music that comes with the game, if that's a goal for you. If not then leave it. I haven't listened to the new ones.

{GOLD} and {TURNS} 
Why what is wrong with them? I know that there is a loose end hanging there for the Impossible level, but I haven't gotten around to programing the Marco yet. It works fine for me on the other three levels.
Oh, and thanks for the feedback on the music. About the echo, I kinna wanted to get the closded in, cave feeling to the piece. It doesen't really go with Infested Caves so I took it off that one. It goes best with Persuit.

It gives me a game-killing error in 0.9.2. Strange that it doesn't for you. Oh well, I can keep doing it.
