I would really like this. I play a lot of team stuff with my wife, and I think campaigns are more interesting (when done well) than random maps. > -Reordering of mainline campaigns: I would like to see the mainline > campaigns behave like usercampaigns.

While I would like to see them behave like each other, I still think you want to be able to handle campaigns in either a system wide data area or a per user data area. The system wide area allows for space savings, and the per user area allows for users to have their stored campaigns, even if they don't have rights to save them in the system wide area. > The art would (partly) stay where it is now and the translations would > stay there, too.

Some should be considered part of the base game and usable by any campaign diretcly from the normal location. Other's should be considered owned by specific campaigns and other campaigns that need these objects should make copies, rather than directly refer to the object in another campaign. > beginners.

Another goal for "easy", is that you should be able to advance from any scenario with the minimum starting gold and no recall list. That way people playing on "easy" shouldn't have to ever replay previously completed scenarios in order to continue advancing through a campaign.
