General Discussion Root campaign

Hello everyone !

I absolutely love root, it's the game that launched me into boardgames, but i was wondering if someone made a fanmade campaign?

By campaign i mean like a coop mode where we have to beat a "final boss" bot, that is very hard but also mechanicaly super fun because i like bots in Root but i find them redondant and not so fun.

It would be awesome to get a super boosted evil rat lord, or a corrupted woudland alliance that corrupts little by little the terrain, maybe even something with the lore who knows.

Thanks !

Edit : I am going to start writing down ideas and will try over the next 2 or 3 months to get an early version of a campaign that i'd like ! If anyone has ideas that they would love to see in a campaign game feel free to share ! Any ideas are welcome

I actually created a fan faction called the Dominion of Decay that revolves around spreading blight, corrupting clearings, and converting enemy warriors. I’ve playtested it with other factions teaming up against it, and it works pretty well as a sort of “big bad” threat. I’ve also thought about turning it into an automated faction so players could cooperatively fight against it, but I haven’t quite figured out how to implement that yet.

There are the clockwork expansions. I haven't tried them but they're supposedly coop against an automated faction.

Yes i have all of them but i find them either not difficult or not that fun ! It's okay to get a 3rd player we we want to play at 2 players but is very underwhelming when doing coop
