Campaign Menu
The Introduction Campaign
The Introduction Campaign is a very simple set of easy levels that teach you how to play the game. The player will face an army composed of a single faction, and build an army using units from the previous faction that you just fought.
The Adventure Campaign
The Adventure Campaign is a set of levels that are very fun and do not require much strategy. The enemy army can use any units from the Tribal Faction, Farmer Faction, Medieval Faction, Ancient Faction, and Viking Faction. The player can use units from any faction including any unlocked from the Secret Faction. These also serve to teach you of some mechanics of the game, like how chaos on the battlefield can be an advantage to you.
The Challenge Campaign
The Challenge Campaign is a set of levels that require much more thinking and strategy than the other levels. Army budgets will also be lower than the enemy's point value. These will test you and will require very specific placements and movements of troops. This is most definitely the hardest campaign!

Campaign Creator
With this feature you make your own campaign and publish it for other people to play, you can play other people's levels by using a custom workshop, secret units can even be used in these levels and automatically placed friendly units can be put in.
Trivia
- The workshop for the campaign creator was made as a replacement for the steam workshop, Landfall said that they wanted the workshop to work across consoles; in other words, a custom battle made on the PC can be played on an Xbox or PlayStation if support is added. This is a plausible reason for the update being held back.
- It can be easy defeating campaigns using the Bug DLC.
- The Renaissance, Wild West, Fantasy Good, and Fantasy Evil are the only campaigns that use Secret units.
