Roland's monologue:

Scenario 1:  

My faithful vassal.I greet your pledge of loyalty with gratitude and
relief.  As you know, my wicked brother Archibald has seized my
father's castle and usurped the throne.  Only the lords nearest the
castle have been quick to swear allegiance to him, But I fear even
distant lords may take the oath in the absence of a viable
alternative.  I am determined to provide that alternative, even if
means making war on vassals formerly loyal to my father.  Therefore,
it is with a heavy heart that I must order you to compel the loyalty
of the barons nearest my summer palace by force of arms.  Since we
cannot afford to fail, I have provided you with a sum of gold
sufficient to the task.  I have also provided you with a magical
amulet to help coordinate our war efforts.  Wear it always and we
will be in constant communication.

Scenario 2:

Well done!  Our initial move is an unqualified success.
Unfortunately, we have no time to celebrate.  The remainder of the
local nobility is less than pleased with our recent military
victories, and have organized their defenses against us.  It is up to
you to put down their rebellion, but I will need the forces you raised
in your previous mission to secure that region properly.  Once again,
I needn't remind you of the seriousness of your mission.  We must win
in order to secure the taxes necessary to finance the war against
Archibald.  I am giving you the last of my gold to raise the armies
you will need to force their surrender.

Scenario 3 or 4 intro:

Congratulations!  A splendid display of military acumen!  With the
financial backing of this rich farming region, we now have the gold
it takes to win this war.  Now we need to secure the resources.  Our
enemy Archibald has begun to move troops into the mountainous mining
regions of the south known as Carator, and we need to oppose him and
seize these resources for ourselves.  At the same time, I have
received a plea for help from Roklin, King of the Dwarfs. Archibald's
warlocks have attacked  a dwarven village four days ago, slaughtering
every last man, woman, and child in their quest for dwarven gold.
Finding none, they press their attack against the rest of the dwarven
holdings.  My general, I seek your counsel.  Shall we launch an
immediate attack on Archibald's forces in Carator, or shall we go to
the aid of the Dwarfs?  (player makes decision)

If scenario 4 is entered from scenario 3:

Roklin has sent a messenger to convey his undying gratitude for your
assistance against the warlocks.  In return for your aid, Roklin has
promised you the unconditional support of the dwarfs for as long as
you should serve me.  Already he has sent troops to the Carator
mountains in anticipation of your move against Archibald.  His forces
await your command.  

Scenario 5:  

Our seizure of the Carator mines has strengthened our position
immeasurably.   This strength, in turn, has begun to convince some of
the more cautious  lords to join our righteous struggle.  Two of
these neutrals have finally agreed to join our side.  Their
strongholds lie in a key valley that must be controlled in order to
maintain supply lines to Archibald's castle.  Your orders are to raise
an army from the local population and launch an attack against the
other two disloyal barons in the valley.  Once this objective has
been achieved, we will be firmly in control of the continent's
resources and will at last shift from defense to offense.

Roland's betrayal offer:

General, this is Roland, your rightful king.   I have a proposal for
you.   Come and fight on my side.  You and I both know that you are
wrong to work for my evil brother.  It must gnaw at your conscience to
know that you serve an unjust usurper, and for what reward?  Money? I
can give you money too.  I offer not just riches, but honor, duty,
and purpose.  Come join me and serve the cause of justice.  Now, what
say you?

Scenario 6: (Thank you for not betraying me)

My seer informs me that you have turned down an offer to betray me.
Once again, it seems, I am in your debt.  You may rest assured that
when all this is over your service will not go unrewarded.  I have
received a request for aid from the sorceresses of Noraston.  Their
public declaration for me has made them the object of Archibald's
wrath.   Archibald has sent a large army to make an example of them.
They must be defended if we are to maintain our diplomatic
credibility.   I am sending Lord Halton to assist you in your efforts
to rally the Sorceresses.  And once again, thank you.


Scenario 6:  (Welcome to the good side)

You've made the right decision!  If you remain true to your service
with me, you may rest assured that a reward awaits you at the end of
this war.  I have received a request for aid from the sorceresses'
guild at Noraston.  Their public declaration for me has made them the
object of Archibald's wrath.  Archibald has sent a large army to make
an example of them.  They must be defended if we are to maintain our
diplomatic credibility.  I am sending Lord Halton to assist you in
your efforts to rally the Sorceresses.  And once again, thank you.

Scenario 7 and 8:  

The sorceresses send their regards for your aid, and promise to make
available their  best practitioners while you remain in my service.
My good general, I require your counsel.  The time draws near when we
must prepare and launch an attack against my evil brother.  My
advisors have given me mixed advice.  Half say that I should send you
to gather troops for the attack against the lords that remain loyal
to Archibald, while the other half tell me to send you on a quest
through the travel gates to find the fabled Ultimate Crown.  What say
you?  (player makes choice)

Scenario 9:  

I see that you have gathered your force and are poised to attack
Archibald's defenders.  Due to a desperate counter offensive upon my
holdings here in the West, I am unable to send you aid in this
crucial hour.  I can only hope that the forces you have gathered,
magical or otherwise, are sufficient to the task.  Lord Haart will
assist you in your endeavor.Oh, and one more thing-Be sure to capture
general Corlagon.  If we can deny Archibald his wisdom, Archibald
will fall more easily.

Scenario 10:  

At last, the war draws to an end.  My brother refuses to surrender in
the face of your army, and instead sends his undead armies to
continue their war against his own people.  I must redirect the
forces you so cleverly led to victory against general Corlagon to the
defense of the people.  I have decided to put Lord Haart in charge of
the defense and you in charge of the attack against my brother's
weakened arms.  You have free access to the holdings you recently
confiscated from Archibald's vassals.  Use them wisely and capture my
brother!  Let us bring this civil war to an end!

Roland's sentence of Archibald:

Brother Archibald, for your crimes against the kingdom and myself, I
give you a mercy you surely would not have shown me:  I sentence you
to be turned to stone and locked in the west tower until future
generations should take pity upon you and restore you to life.  If
they ever do.  In any case, you may rest assured you will never lay
eyes upon the crown again.

Archibald's monologue:

Scenario 1:

Thank you for choosing to serve me.  You will find that I can be a
very generous lord to vassals who remain faithful, which is more than
I can say for the cowardly lords who refuse to take the oath from me.
I am King!  Not Roland!  No one can stand before me and refuse to
serve!  Go!  I have allocated a sum of gold for the purposes of
making an example of the lords closest to my castle.  Crush them, and
report back to me by means of the magical amulet I have sent you.

Scenario 2:

Excellent work, my good general.  I think we made an impression, don't
you?  The lords nearest us will certainly profess loyalty, although
the more distant ones still waver.  I think, however, we will require
a second demonstration.  In the frozen wastes to the north of us, the
Krashaw region, are a number of barbarian tribes that my father did
not bother to conquer.  These barbarians can be powerful if organized,
but fortunately they've never managed it.  I am sending you there to
conquer and unify them.  They will make excellent foot soldiers in
our efforts to put down my brother's rebellion.

Scenario 3 and 4 intro:

I.have a decision to make.  It has come to my attention that Roland
has struck an alliance with the king of the Dwarves.  I am certain
that you recognize the potential danger this alliance presents to
my-our position.  At the same time I have received a plea for help
from the Necromancer's guild.  It seems the Wizard's guild has moved
against their ancient rivals while they believe the royal forces to be
otherwise occupied.  The question I put to you, my general, is shall
we shatter the Dwarven alliance, or shall we rescue the Necromancer's
guild?  (Player chooses)

Scenario 5 intro:

(If coming from scenario 3)
Congratulations.  You have simultaneously weakened our enemies the
wizards and strengthened our friends the Necromancers.  The
Necromancer's guild sends its undying gratitude, and wishes to inform
you that one of their best practitioners will always be available to
serve you for as long as you serve me. And now I must direct  you to
an urgent military matter involving the Lorendale valley barons.  Two
have openly declared support for my rebel brother-a crime that I
cannot tolerate.  You must generate an army from scratch using the
castles of two of my loyal supporters.  Do not fail me.  

(If coming from scenario 4)
Well done, general.  The King of the Dwarves was so unhappy with your
work that he has sent me some hate mail.  It reads:  "To Archibald
Ironfist, Murderous and Vile Usurper:  We bid you down, down, down to
burn forever in the fires of eternal damnation!  We pray that your
foul general, who we name forevermore Dwarf-Bane joins you in this
fate."  (giggles) How charming!  The King of the Ogres has also sent
a message on this matter.  It seems that they were pleased with the
outcome, and have offered to permanently ally with us and send us
troops.  And now I must direct  you to an urgent military matter
involving the Lorendale valley barons.  Two have openly declared
support for my rebel brother-a crime that I cannot tolerate.  You
must generate an army from scratch using the castles of two of my
loyal supporters.  I will view failure with.displeasure.

Archibald's betrayal offer:

General!  This is King Archibald speaking.  Your exploits in the field
have impressed me, and I have decided to offer you one chance to join
me and receive a proper reward.  I can offer riches and power that my
brother can only dream of.  Wealth and power against the certainty of
the hangman's noose when I inevitably crush my brother's feeble
forces.  Well, what do you say?

Scenario 6 (thank you for not betraying me)

My pet necromancer overheard your conversation with my brother.  You
chose wisely.  My brother doesn't stand a prayer of winning this war,
and your head would have joined his on the chopping block.  But don't
fear.  If you continue to serve me well I will reward you with an
Earldom at my brother's summer palace.  Now to business.  The
peasants that plow my fields are staging a rebellion directed by
Roland's men.  I am directing you to put this rebellion down and
capture the leaders of the rebellion.  I am sending lord Corlagon to
aid you in your fight.

Scenario 6 (Welcome to the winning side)

Welcome to the winning side.  You will see that I am an easy man to
work for.  I reward success and punish failure.  If you are faithful
and we win this war, I will grant you an Earldom.  Now to business.
The peasants that plow my fields are staging a rebellion directed by
Roland's men.  I am ordering you to put this rebellion down and
capture the leaders of the rebellion.  I am sending lord Corlagon to
aid you in your fight.

Scenario 7 and 8 intro:

Your punishment of the peasants was inspiring.  An exemplary job.  Our
next move is to conquer the rural lords near Roland's castle.  While
these lords can be defeated using conventional methods, it is the firm
opinion of my chief warlock advisor that the aid of the dragon king
would be an effective weapon against our enemies.  Unfortunately, the
dragon king will not help us voluntarily.  What is your counsel, my
general?  Shall we launch an immediate attack against Roland's
vassals, or shall we first conquer the dragons?

Scenario 8 (if coming from 7)

Well done.  The dragon king is cooperating with us now, and I have him
on a short leash. (aha ha ha.) They will supply extra forces for our
armies and will cooperate if you encounter any in the wild.  Carry on
with the attack against Roland's vassals.

Scenario 9 and 10 intro:

Your swift elimination of those country lords almost makes it look
easy.  Perhaps next time you should slow down a little, just to give
them a sporting chance!  (chuckles)  The time to prepare for the final
attack against Roland has come.  My advisors are of two minds:  One,
that we should focus our efforts on gathering the armies necessary to
defeat Roland, while the other is to search for the Ultimate Artifact.
Since you are the man in the field, what is your decision?

Scenario 11 intro:

Our finest hour is upon us!  Roland's forces have retreated to the
province around his castle, and Roland, the fool, cowers in his
summer palace, awaiting our final strike!  You have gathered your
forces for this final battle, now go!  Crush the rebellion and bring
my brother back in chains!

Archibald's final speech:


Well, Roland, it seems I've won our little contest.  But don't worry.
Not only have I decided to spare your life, but I am appointing you
monarch of the Western Tower.  You will be the ruler of a mighty
empire, one who's every crack and crevice you will know. in ten
minutes.  Perhaps I will come and visit your splendid court, when you
are not entertaining important rats and spiders.  (laughs, trailing
away)


Voice Descriptions

Narrator:  Old man, historian sounding, kindly, blah, blah, blah.

Roland:  Good guy knight type.  Deep voice.

Archibald:  Evil wizard type.  Think of Tim Curry, or John Hurt
in the role.  Cultured, faintly British accent.

*** The Price of Loyalty ***

Intro:
------
Viscount Kraeger - a companion of your youth and commander of the
empire's northern reaches - has turned against the Emperor in open
rebellion.  Though he lacks the forces to topple the throne directly,
he has embarked on a quest for a legendary artifact that will grant him
powers great enough to destroy us all.

The Emperor has called upon you to march forth with your armies,
destroy the rebel Kraeger, and claim the artifact for the glory of the
empire.

After Winning Map 1:
--------------------
You have succeeded in suppressing the rebellious northern provinces, and
now you must pursue the traitor's armies into the Darkscale mountains.

The Emperor's Archmage has obtained some knowledge of the artifact
Kraeger seeks; it is composed of three separate pieces that must be
brought together for their full power to be unlocked.

Even now, the traitor is beginning his search for the first piece, deep
within the mountains.  Uncover it before it falls into his hands; without
it we will never be able to discover the location of the other pieces.

After Winning Map 2:
--------------------
With your successful retrieval of the artifact, Kraeger has fled to the
west, towards Glaive Island, where the next piece of the artifact is said
to be hidden.

Unfortunately, Kraeger has discovered a secret way through the Darkscale
Mountains, and is well ahead of you.  You face a choice of perils...

You may wish to follow Kraeger along the hidden path known as the Abyss,
but you will face mortal perils.  Nonetheless, this is the faster route.

Your other choice is to circle the mountains, through the forests to the
south and west.  These are elven lands, however, and there are those
within who might take great affront should your forces disturb their
shadowed glens.

After Winning Map 3:
--------------------
As you have proven responsible for the removal of a hated rival, the
Elven lord Ilthanis has agreed to support the Empire in its hunt for
Kraeger.  He has promised to provide you with a tithe of wood, and any
elven forces you encounter will aid you in your quest.

However, there is also less fortunate news.  The traitor has already
unearthed the second piece of the artifact upon Glaive Isle.  Turn your
attention to the north, where the last piece lies deep within the snowy
wastes.

A great barbarian kingdom straddles the passes to the northlands, and
you must subdue these fierce raiders before your expedition to the far
north may proceed.

After Winning Map 4 or 5:
-------------------------
Alas, Kraeger has already retrieved the second piece from Glaive Isle,
and all that remains is to race for the northern wastes to seek out the
last piece.  Whoever regains this piece will have an advantage when it
comes time to bring the traitor to ground.

Curiously, our scouts have returned with strange tales of verdant green
lands in midst of the snowy wastes. Whether these tales are true or
merely the ramblings of snow blinded travelers, none can tell.

After Winning Map 6:
--------------------
The Emperor's Archmage has made a crucial discovery, plucked from the
thoughts of Kraeger himself as he fled the battle for the third artifact
piece. Kraeger is not alone in his treachery!

A cabal of Necromancers within the heart of the Empire itself has guided
him towards the artifacts they sought.

Now we may strike at the source of this chaos which threatens the empire.
Gather the Emperor's armies and destroy the Cabal and with it the traitor
who has evaded you these many months.

After Winning Map 7:
--------------------
It appears that Kraeger fell under the sway of the Necromancers by means
of magic.  With the power of the Helm you have freed his mind and put an
end to his rebellion.  With this knowledge in mind, the Emperor may show
leniency for his rebellion when he faces the justice of the Empire.

But regardless of such matters, you have reclaimed the final piece of the
artifact and now it's full power is at the command of the Empire.  Take
up its might and wield it against our true foes!  Destroy the
Necromancers and their nest of treachery and deceit!

You've Won!
-----------
The might of our vast empire is maintained throughout the ages, with the
great wisdom of the Emperor to guide us and the strength of our noble
heroes to protect us.

You claim that Viscount Kraeger - a former friend and compatriot of
yours - did not act of his own will in this uprising, but was held under
the magical influence of the necromancers.  Be that as it may, he has
been seen by the people of our lands to raise arms against the Empire.
Such an act cannot go unpunished.

You may rejoice however, for the Emperor has chosen to grant you all
lands and titles that Kraeger possessed, in return for your great service
and obedience.

Such is the price of loyalty.

*** Descendants ***

Intro:
------
Many generations ago, before this kingdom came to power, the land was
the battleground for a handful of warring tribes.  The Barbarian
Jarkonas, first of a long line of rulers, had a vision: To conquer
and unify the tribes...

After Winning Map 1:
--------------------
Several generations passed, and the kingdom which Jarkonas had
established grew and prospered freely.  But then, in the east, the
kingdom of Harondale grew to power, and a bitter rivalry over the borders
began.

After Winning Map 2:
--------------------
King Jarkonas III, grandson of Ethania, lay on his deathbed and pondered
the fate of his weakening kingdom; the constant struggle with its enemies
had taken a heavy toll. He knew that if the kingdom were to again
prosper, it would need aid from  distant relatives. The final choice he
had to make was this: send help to recruit Crazy Uncle Ivan the warmonger
and his barbarian clan, or send a search party out to look for the
family's wayward son Joseph, a wizard of some repute.

After Winning Maps 3 & 4:
-------------------------
In the 200th year since the unification of the tribes, during the dark
times of the family, a scout came frantically riding from the southern
border towns.  He reported that a barbarian horde had taken several
outposts and burned down another.  Geldria, the queen at the time,
sent an army south to reclaim the lost towns and secure the border.

After Winning Map 5:
--------------------
As war and unrest threatened to topple the kingdom of Jarkonas, a blow
came which might have crushed it. The castle of Ivory Gates fell due to
the treacherous actions of a spy from Harondale. The ruler at the time,
Ethania Geldria II (the second), had to decide whether it was better to
send for help from the elves, or attempt to retake the fallen castle
directly.

After Winning Maps 6 & 7:
-------------------------
Now, I suppose, it is up to me, Jarkonas VI, to finish what my ancestors
started. Our family has grown stronger since Ivory Gates was recaptured
many years ago, and Harondale's luck has turned against them in battles
on other fronts. In the morning, I will launch an offensive against
Harondale's main territory. One way or the other, this long feud will
soon be at an end.

You've Won!:
------------
Harondale's kingdom has fallen under our control, their rulers have all
fled to distant lands or been slain, and I am headed back to my castle
to live out my final years in peace.

*** The Voyage Home ***

Intro:
------
On my journey to the outer isles for Lord Alberon, a sudden and ferocious
storm wrecked my ship. I and a small contingent of the crew struggled to
the shore of an uncharted island. Now, I need to construct a ship large
enough to make the voyage back home to the mainland.

After Winning Map 1:
--------------------
Our journey is well underway, and we should be home in a fortnight. By
pure luck we have discovered the notorious pirate isles. These pirates
have been raiding the coast of Lord Alberon's kingdom for years, and it
is my duty to find and eliminate their leader before continuing my
journey.

After Winning Map 2:
--------------------
I arrived home last night, under the cover of a heavy fog. My cousin met
me on the beach. He explained that a civil war had broken out while I was
away. To my dismay, the leader of the rebellion is my sister the
Necromancer, with whom my family ties are very strong. Now I must decide:
should I remain loyal to my Lord Alberon who has treated me honorably
in my years of service, or acknowledge the more ancient bond of blood and
fight for my sister's cause.

You've Won! (Map 3):
--------------------
I made a choice to remain loyal to Lord Alberon, and now my sister is
being carted away in chains to be held in prison till death finds her. I
have made peace with my decisions, but I sorely wish this conflict had
not led to bloodshed.

You've Won! (Map 4):
--------------------
The Castle of my former Lord Alberon lies burning in the distance, and
even though my sister and I have triumphed in our cause, I will never
forget the betrayed look in my liege's eyes when he saw me riding against
him.

*** The Wizard's Isle ***

Intro:
------
Tales have recently been told of a mist wreathed archipelago that has
sprung up in the western seas where nothing but water lay before.

They are the legendary Shrouded Isles, wherein lies the Fount of
Wizardry.  It is said that every thousand years they rise forth from the
ocean, and that whomsoever claims this power will reign ascendant for the
next thousand...

Even now your rivals are surely aware of the archipelago's emergence, and
are laying plans for it's conquest.

After Winning Map 1:
--------------------
Through the inhabitants of these isles, you have learned the location of
an ancient library.  Within this library, an almost endless collection of
mystic knowledge might be gleaned.

Most importantly - within its dusty tomes must surely be information
concerning the Fount of Wizardry.  With this information you will be able
to locate and bind the Fount to your will.  Go forth and capture the city
of Chronos, wherein you will find the library you seek.

After Winning Map 2:
--------------------
With the Library now yours to study, the location of the Fount of
Wizardry has been revealed to you.  Unfortunately, it has already been
claimed by one of your rivals!  Without the knowledge in the library of
Chronos, it may be some time before they can control its power, but once
they do they will be unstoppable.

However, the existence of an artifact of great potency has also been
revealed by the library.  This artifact has the power to completely
nullify all magic in its presence, a most effective weapon against a
rival Archmage...

After Winning Map 3:
--------------------
The Orb of Negation is now yours, and with it's power your victory is all
but certain.

But move quickly, for time is running out and if the power of the Fount
of Wizardry is bound by one of your rivals not even the Orb will protect
you from their power.

You've Won!:
------------
With all your rivals defeated and scattered before you, the Fount of
Wizardry is yours.

Now you will control the power to shape a new age of magic and unlock the
secrets of time itself.

Wield this power wisely and you shall become the greatest wizard of this
or any other world.

¿Ya están todos, no? Muchas gracias Lord_Ironfist. Si puedes y no es mucha molestia ¿podrías hacernos unas capturas de los vídeos y/o de la línea de avance de cada campaña? Sería una info estupenda que añadir a la división del Heroes II del Portal.

¡Saludos!

Bueno, pero primero me tengo que pasar las dos campañas de la expansión que me quedan  :medieval: ¿se pueden subir archivos o imágenes directamente sin tener que subirlas a algún servidor antes?

Ahora que lo pienso, también me tendré/tendría que pasar las dos campañas originales porque me instalé el juego hace poco. Con tranquilidad se podría ir haciendo.

De todas formas no hay que dar las gracias por las transcripciones, se encuentran en dos archivos de texto dentro de la carpeta del juego una vez que lo instalas
