Users’ Forum • Re: Mainline campaigns

What is the criteria for a mainline campaign? I notice things like the new drake campaign being added and orcish incursion being taken out. But why?

The criteria is: high quality, lore consistency with rest of the mainline campaigns in the campaign's time period, community approval (positive feedback overall), previously selected as a candidate for mainline addition.

An Orcish incursion's removal was done due to "low quality and too generic". I do consider the removal with significant disdain. The developers could have just refined it to match the quality standards. The drake campaign was added to fill a gap (as previously we had no mainline drake campaign before).

And why don't they happen with some other amazing add on campaigns.

Either the Add-on author was approached and they declined it (IftU). Or, it had some inconsistencies (lore/story/units) which could not be resolved.
Currently, it's being considered if some add-ons should labeled as recommended as "canonical". Not sure how feasible that notion is thought.

is the dragon trilogy worth playing?

Yes, it's four campaigns, so it's a "Saga" though.

Does it fit into the timeline and canon?

I would say it might.
