Topic: Custom campaigns?

From what I understand there are a few official campigns now, but none of them are finished? Also I believe you can play custom ones? Has anyone made any? Any recommendations? Are the official campaigns worth playing yet? Should I just skip the Barbarian one, being a Settlers 2 veteran? Top Quote

The campaigns are a work in progress with new scenarios being added frequently (in release 1.1 expect a new scenario each for the Atlantean and Frisian campaign). However the existing scenarios are all perfectly playable – the under-development status is only about adding more new scenarios and further continuing the storyline. I definitely recommend playing through all of the campaigns; especially if you didn't play very much (or at all) with a tribe yet its first one or two scenarios will give you an introduction to their unique economic and strategical features. The difficulty of the campaigns varies from a fairly simple tutorial (Barbarians) to long and very challenging (Frisians). Custom campaigns as add-ons are in principle possible since v1.0, but nobody has created one yet. Most of the long-term fun of Widelands comes from free play however, with a huge variety of very different maps, starting conditions, and win conditions which can be combined in an infinity of different ways.

Props to whoever is in charge of the music, by the way. Custom ones would be as add-ons, I see. I get why I couldn't find any in the maps section! I'll look nto the official ones for now, thank you!

Furthermore I finished the 2nd Atlantean scenario lately which is now subject to playtest and review. Top Quote

I could dive into that once I'm through the campaigns! Top Quote
