I think support for difficulty selection in MP campaigns would be fantastic and widely used. Good idea! With regard to game selection, I think it's excellent to organize the types of MP games with tabs as the draft does. I wonder if things should be broken into three (or more?) groups though. We have 3 basic 'game types' currently: 1. Standard maps - Maps for 2 or more players using normal Wesnoth rules. 2. MP campaigns - Campaigns for 2 or more players which may have some special rules and events but which will be explained in the course of the campaign. 3. Scenarios - Maps for 2 or more players with some-to-lots of WML modification (includes RPG and ANL like games and "Survival" type scenarios, among others), often involves some amount of figuring things out (I.E. "Ah, a bunch of units just spawned over there on turn 3). I would suggest that these three groups would be a good way to categorize games. I would like to separate the WML scenarios from regular maps because there are often many things to learn about them that really change the game. I think it would be useful for users to know that stuff in "Standard maps" doesn't have any special rules. It might also be useful to be able to categorize or sort through "types" of WML-scenarios because there are commonly used labels associated with some, such as RPG, but I'm not sure about the best way to think about that.
