Re: A New Order.
I think it would be more accurate to say that Soldier of Wesnoth is a prequel to A New Order.HenryY2020 wrote: ↑June 9th, 2021, 1:50 pm Is it just me or is A New Order basically the sequel to Soldier of Wesnoth?

SoW is by far younger than ANO and there have never been any attempts to reconcilate the timelines of these two campaigns, or to fit ANO into the Dragon War canon.
It's an interesting idea though.
Re: A New Order.
Well, the narrator in Soldier of Wesnoth mentions the Akladians, so it must have been intended to be part of the same continuity ...
Re: A New Order.
Huh. I think I somewhat remember that mention... So if anything, SoW would be unofficially part of the Akladian verse, but it's not trying very hard to be, beyond that one comment. It's probably possible because neither insist on referencing things from the other story, nor do they deny anything about each other.

Re: A New Order.
Just asking but is this campaign canon? I've seen this page (https://wiki.wesnoth.org/Garardine_Dynasty) and I'm not sure if it makes A New Order campaign as canon or not.
Re: A New Order.
Well, in general, the only things you can rely on as "canon" are the mainline campaigns (i.e., the campaigns that come with the game). The wiki might mention things from add-ons in a few places; but the wiki and campaigns on the add-on server are not necessarily consistent or up-to-date with the mainline campaigns.HenryY2020 wrote: ↑June 21st, 2021, 9:00 am Just asking but is this campaign canon?

That having been said...
- A New Order is a very popular and well-regarded add-on campaign
- It has been around almost as long as the game itself (since 2005)
- I don't think there is anything in it that actually contradicts existing canon

Re: A New Order.
Thanks for your reply. I'm planning to make an add-on that takes place right after King Konrad II dies. I'm not sure if that's a good idea since add-ons like this existed.gnombat wrote: ↑June 22nd, 2021, 1:43 pmWell, in general, the only things you can rely on as "canon" are the mainline campaigns (i.e., the campaigns that come with the game).

So, you may well see references to the events of A New Order in other add-on campaigns (for example. Soldier of Wesnoth).

Re: A New Order.
I would not worry too much about conflicts with other add-on campaigns; an enormous number of add-on campaigns have been written over the years, some of which tend to contradict others, and it is not really possible to avoid inconsistencies arising among them.HenryY2020 wrote: ↑June 23rd, 2021, 11:49 am Thanks for your reply.

On the other hand, it sounds like it would not be very difficult to make your campaign consistent with A New Order, if you want to do so; A New Order takes place many years after the death of King Konrad II. Note that the page https://wiki.wesnoth.org/Garardine_Dynasty was originally written a long time ago (2007) and some of the information appears to be inaccurate; in particular the timing of the events of A New Order seems to be off by 50-100 years. (I'm comparing it to the history described in the file
scenarios/Timeline.txt
from the A New Order add-on itself.)-

It would be advisable to change the readme.txt wrt moneybookers and paypal part (about funding portraits and other art). While no one actually has donated in last few years, IF someone would nevertheless to do that, it would be better if the donation would go to someone who actually is in charge of the campaign.
Similarly, maybe it would be reasonably to delegate my email adresses to secondary role and add current maintainer's email as primary

Re: A New Order.
Egallager, cool job! One note re: ""still has the two of them disagreeing, so don't use that; come up with something better instead" and the image for "Karen and Lorin finally getting along". It is supposed to be Gawen being clueless about their true relations, and was originally used with intentions of making a humorous effect. They never actually get along.
