** ''Welcome Home'' in Definitive Edition has you start with two bases at the opposite sides of the map, with a handful of soldiers defending them and four villagers per side. Gidajan, meanwhile, has two fortified bases filled with troops, but is not mandatory to fight him.
Added DiffLines:
** In ''DE'', the last scenario is drastically changed: now you're in charge of two opposite bases with the city of Aksum in the middle, while Gidajan has two bases located to the north and south. On one hand, Aksum is now much easier to take as you have to destroy at least five of the six souped-up towers defending it, with each destroyed tower reducing the number of buildings the enemy owns. On the other hand, you start with villagers, no buildings and meager troops in divided bases and Gidajan isn't shy about sending waves of mixed troops at you, which can cause quite some damage if you're not careful.

* EarlyGameHell: Something of a recurring theme for the campaign is giving you very little to start with, making the first part of the scenario quite difficult if you don't know what to do. Once you manage to establish a foothold though you're set:
** ''Path of Exile'': you start with a defenseless Yodit, her beefed up bodyguard Samuel and nothing else. You can gather a generous army of GlassCannon Shotel Swordsmen (which you cannot train, as you're restricted to Feudal Age and your only possible base is a desolate village with little resources and quite vulnerable to the raids of three nearby enemy bases. And this is the first scenario.
** ''The Right Partner'': You start with two distant bases and a handful of troops... but little resources and while one base is safe, the other is quite vulnerable to costant raids from the Gray player, who will costantly spawn troops (including camels, horse archers and ''Archers of the Eyes'') to harass your weak spots... namely the second base.
** ''A Fallen Crown'', in order to stop Dagnajan's brobdiganian army and his well-protected camps you have [[WithThisHerring about five villagers, four Shotel Swordsmen, four archers and a Scout Cavalry]], meaning that you have to start by making a base, with the ideal spot being right next to a enemy village. Fortunately, it's possible to quickly defuse said village's threat with an early, strategical attack.
** ''Broken Stelae'': You start with five villagers, five Shotel Swordsmen and a small base with abysmal resources. And while you can acquire supplies by capturing the Stelae, doing so will periodically summon swarms of Gidajan's soldiers from Massawa to retake the Stelae and build a Guard Tower next to it.

* TheSiege:
** Subverted in ''A Fallen Crown'', Dagnajan's final objective is a scarcely-protected fortress on a mountain pass. You have to defeat him before he's successful.
** ''Broken Stelae'': you have to lead a small force to gain the support of the local rebels and destroy the port city of Massawa.
** ''Welcome Home'': you have to enter the besieged Aksum and crush Gidajan's loyalist, fighting through the barricated streets, with the allied houses forming a labyrinth of streets.
* TimedMission: In the third scenario, after establishing a base, a 50 minutes [[note]] up to 75 in ''DE'' on easy [[/note]] timer will appear, letting you know how much time you have before Dagnajan and his army start their march. During this time, you have to find his camps and resources (such as the base of the Orthodox Monks and the Elephant pens) and destroy them. The more damage you can do, the weaker Dagnajan's army will be. While running out of time won't cause an instant loss, wasting too much time without accomplishing the objectives will make the final battle harder and possibly unwinnable.
