Re: What happend to The Dark Hordes ?
Unfortunately, the original developer of The Dark Hordes never completed the campaign. While there were several attempts to complete it by other people, they never really got anywhere. As Wesnoth matured, and additional high-quality campaigns became available to add to mainline, it didn't make much sense to keep an incomplete campaign in the main distribution.
Have you tried Descent into Darkness? It's another campaign where you play as undead, and it's in pretty good shape, too.

TDH > DiD IMO, although Descent into Darkness has a better story. More so after it was included in Invasion From the Unknown. (Which is another undead campaign.)

Re: What happend to The Dark Hordes ?
I never understood the draw to The Dark Hordes. Sure, it was an early attempt at an Undead campaign but there wasn't much to it.
Who knows, maybe it should be considered -the- Undead campaign, as it doesn't seem to ever die.

It's still being somewhat actively developed on wensoth-umc-dev. I should really release a 1.8 version already...
Re: What happend to The Dark Hordes ?
No, it isn't. The player can recruit undead and there's an undead hero by their side but that doesn't make that faction central to the plot. At least not until later scenarios.Hulavuta wrote:[...] Invasion From the Unknown. (Which is another undead campaign.)

I tried to download these Dark Hordes from add-on server but the campaign was broken, it just didn't start up (said about some error in WML code)

Re: What happend to The Dark Hordes ?
Yep, same. That is really sad.
Re: What happend to The Dark Hordes ?
I'd check it out to try to fix it, but I only got up to Scenario 8 (Underground Pool, the annoyingly bottleneck-y map with the single-tile wide tunnels) before giving up...

You would be a better maintainer for TDH, IMHO. The previous guy did complete it but left it as an unspeakable wreck.
