I still think people get too hung up on the word “campaign” and think that campaign is exclusive to a narrative driven story told over 5+ missions, whereas Ensemble already advertised The Battles of the Conquerors as a campaign in 2000, despite being just a collection of scenarios, so “campaign” can be one or the other, it just needs to follow the same idea.
I also think the discussion ignores console players who don’t have the option to download the original scenarios, since the Xbox version’s mod browser only allows official mods such as event mods (which is a shame, since the Xbox version also lacks access to the editor in general), so they experience those scenarios now for the first time.
