	'''Important:''' The game tracks your progress through the campaigns via a save file, not a game flag. That means that you cannot play the scenarios in a random sequence. Start with the first scenario of one of the first three campaigns. When you finish that scenario, you create a save file. You should probably name that file by some appropriate name. Start the second scenario from that file. When you finish the second scenario, you save again. You should probably make a new file for this. When you complete the final scenario of the first campaign, save again. So far, so good. But when you start the second campaign, you MUST load your most recent save file first, otherwise your progress through the campaigns is lost. Continue through the campaigns with this method.

 {{user commentary|As every campaign is a set of scenarios connected together, there should be special tactics and strategy for playing campaigns, regarding that you will upgrade your heroes throughout the campaign and, in most cases, one or more heroes should be invincible, as their loss will make you lose the whole game.

	* Visit ''all'' objects giving experience on the map: [[Learning Stone\|Learning Stones]], [[Tree of Knowledge\|Trees of Knowledge]], [[Altar of Sacrifice\|Altars of Sacrifice]]. For the latter, try to get as many artifacts as possible if your hero has good or neutral alignment (artifacts are usually guarded, therefore you will also get experience for winning combats), and sacrifice superfluous troops if your hero has evil or neutral alignment. Apart from getting artifacts on the map and in creature banks, you can buy them on [[Black Market]], from [[Artifact Merchants]] if the town can build this structure, or get them by saving [[Shipwreck Survivor\|Shipwreck Survivors]]. A good idea is to sacrifice all artifacts you have prior to the very end of the scenario, as something like [[Sword of Judgement]] may help you very much in tough battles in the mid-game, but won't help a lot when the game is almost won.

	* Try to visit a Tree of Knowledge only when your hero is on the penultimate possible level (e.g. if the limit is level 30, visit it on level 29 so as to get level 30), as every new level requires more and more experience points, thus being harder to obtain.

	* If it requires adequate time (both game and real life time), don't win easy scenarios until your hero or heroes who should advance to the next scenario get highest level possible.

	* Try to visit a Tree of Knowledge only when your hero is on the penultimate possible level (e.g. if the limit is level 30, visit it on level 29 so as to get level 30), as every new level requires more and more experience points, thus being harder to obtain. If level limit is 30 and there are two Trees, visit them on level 28 and 29, if there are three ones, visit them on level 27, 28 and 29, and so on. However, if the highest possible level is unreachable (mostly on small maps), visit Trees of Knowledge first, so as to have some extra points of experience above the amount necessary to get the level.		* Try to visit a Tree of Knowledge only when your hero is on the penultimate possible level (e.g. if the limit is level 30, visit it on level 29 so as to get level 30), as every new level requires more and more experience points, thus being harder to obtain.
