There are no bats on the first level of TDH. Maybe you mean the second level.

Wtf? That is weird, I find the dark hordes almost too easy, because, if I use him, I can get the main character to lvl 3 by the second level! If you start the second mission without any 'veterans' I can see it being tough, just keep trying!

For the first mission, I just made 3 ghosts, along with the leader, and beat the mission, getting two of them level ups, including the leader(I forgot his name) I didn't go much further, because I found it too easy.

I thought this was a fun campaign, and I hope the author finishes it soon. Calling it "stupid" is pretty offensive...Can a mod kill the poll? {edit: nevermind, I read it wrong}

You should spend the first level advancing as many units as possible, then just burn them up in the second (with the brothers); you can advance a whole bunch more in the third and fourth. Most of the later levels require a handful of "good" units and then some cheap fodder. The Undead don't play with the same tactics as the HttT faction you're probably used to.

I think he meant "Am I stupid with this problem I'm having?" If not, it should be deleted.

In that case, let me apologize for misunderstanding you.

Having trouble with Wesnoth doesn't make you stupid, just new at it. It took me a LOT of tries to beat Elensefar in HttT. I'm still a newbie. Good luck!

Hehehe. You really should play the other scenarios -- the first scenario is just a training scenario to get familiar with playing with Undead, which most MP players don't really need. If you think it's too easy, it probably is -- but you shouldn't write off the campaign until you've won Mages and Elves at least.

I think this is a fun campaign as well, and agree with ott. If you finish mages and elves and still think of it as "easy" then it may be for you, elsewise you may find it more fun then you previously believed.

What version of Wesnoth do you have? (check the version number in the bottom left of the title screen)

It sounds like you have a very very old version.

I finished this campaign on hard mode recruiting only ghosts and walking corpses (on maps like elves and mages and that one that you can recruit only corpses).
