Ah, I see that I must have gotten the value of 15 on this by random. Must be my luck finally changing.The turn the enemy retreats on is determined randomly by:
I would suggest to leave it as it is since the defence and offensive power of the player is largely determined by recall list composition.

Re: The Earth's Gut for BfW 1.14
Hey. I'm going to be testing out TEG; haven't in years. I talked a little on Discord about it, and I do remember it being fun. I like Knightmare's ideas for the final scenario(s). I tested a bit of it out on a 1.12 I use for modding; and as this is, of course, modded, I don't get the full real experience.
About monster infighting; I do think it makes sense for them to have separate sides, but personally, I would raise the gold amount for each side if they are infighting, so they don't split up into two weak armies which easily get defeated. After all, the caverns scenario does have troll/undead infighting. Very similar to "Subterraenian Struggle" in UtBS, minus the possibility to join one side.
Perhaps the Dulatus issue could be solved by having something over there he has to go to as an objective? Maybe some dialogue with him, then have the player move him over there to investigate?
Also, doesn't SotA have a fire-y cave scenario with drakes? I think I remember one from my quick run through of that campaign. That might help with ideas as well, but SotA was mainlined *after* the original author stopped working, iirc, so, maybe not as much? I suppose it is probably more north than usual as well.
I do think the best way to handle the ending, as at least Hamel appears in 2 other campaigns, might be to do an HttT-style ending, go through each character and their fate, if they died, etc. In this hypothetical end slideshow, you could also have some lore mention of why the Hammer made it to Karrag.
Those are my thoughts on campaign development. From what I remembered already, the one issue that bugged me the most was the insanely short "Lost" turn limit, which you said you corrected in Discord. I'm going to give it a go on my non-modded Wesnoth soon.

Re: The Earth's Gut for BfW 1.14
Small addition to what I last wrote. In scenario 5b, "Unknown Tunnels", the trolls are at the south of the map while the undead are at the north. However, the next scenario with Dulatus, scenario 08, "Lost", occurs *north* of these last caverns, and the trolls seem to have a settlement to the very north (there's an outpost nearby and the settlement is north-west iirc). Now, while those two troll keeps could be outposts, I think it would make sense to swap the sides in this scenario as undead suddenly appearing between the troll outposts would be..odd. I hope I'm making sense here, lol.
Also, to clarify on my Dulatus thought: Perhaps have a nearby unit give a line of dialogue, such as "Hey, I see [x], perhaps we should investigate?" and make it so the *player* must move specifically Dulatus over there to investigate, *then* trigger the event. This might require adding more turns to the turn limit in both 5a and 5b, however, as Dulatus is generally slow.

Re: The Earth's Gut for BfW 1.14
Progress on the new scenario I'm working on for this campaign is coming along; my checklist for what still needs to be done is in this issue on GitHub: https://github.com/cooljeanius/The_Earths_Gut/issues/8

Re: The Earth's Gut for BfW 1.14
So, update: I've released version 0.3.0 on the 1.14 add-on server! It now includes a playable preliminary version of S22, The Caverns of Flame! The ending cutscene after that is still unfinished, though, so I won't be marking this as a 1.0 release until that's done. The corresponding GitHub tag to this latest release is here: https://github.com/cooljeanius/The_Earths_Gut/releases/tag/0.3.0

Re: The Earth's Gut for BfW 1.14
The Earth's Gut is now translatable! I haven't finished writing all the additional dialogue that's still needed yet, but if any translators want to get a start on translating what's already written, I've decided to upload the potfile here, too, for anyone unable to download it from GitHub:

Re: The Earth's Gut for BfW 1.14
all of them, but it was okay. One thing I would point out is that the ambience wasn't "caverns of flame" enough for me
can you adjust the color to be a bit..warmer?
