Forced to flee to Moldavia, Dracula observes from the shadows as Vladislav II betrays his country and allies with the Ottomans. Following the advice of King Bogdan II of Moldavia, Dracula travels to Castle Bran, on wary of Danesti troops, in order to take control of the Order of the Dragon, a powerful order of Knights willing to espouse the Draculesti cause. With the help of the local Wallachian villages, Dracula must take control of Bran Castle, build a solid base and ally with Hungary in order to deliver a crushing defeat to Targoviste, Vladislav's stronghold.

Dracula achieved a great victory at Giurgiu, destroying the nearby Turkish stronghold and razing all those towns who dared to support them. However, these victories did nothing to quell his incredible hate towards the Ottomans, nor they dissuade Mehmet II from trying again. To further instigate Dracula's campaign, not only the Pope and the King of Hungary have ordered a total war against the Turks, but Dracula's own brother Radu is serving the enemy.

The Turks will finally meet their end outside Tagoviste, along with the forces of their puppet king Basarab Laiota. If a base for the Hungarians is secured, then the combined forces of Magyars and Wallachians are sure to be able to crush the pesky Turks once and for all, releasing Romania of this nightmare.

Dracula achieved a great victory at Giurgiu, destroying the nearby Turkish stronghold and razing all those towns who dared to support them. However, these victories did nothing to quell his incredible hate towards the Ottomans, nor they dissuade Mehmet II from trying again. To further instigate Dracula's campaign, not only the Pope and the King of Hungary have ordered a total war against the Turks, but Dracula's own brother Radu is serving the enemy. As a force of 18000 Turks slips into Wallachia, they find Dracula's mighty fortresses standing in the way. Will these castles being enough to repeal the massive Turkish army?

History forged an incredible legend, there in 15th century Wallachia. A man alone, cruel, sharp and just, stepped out to take over his country and lead a bloody war against the invading Turks. His ruthless methods and bloody ways strike fear in the heart of both friends and foes, making him the most feared man in Eastern Europe. However, will this be enough to fight the relentless Ottoman Empire?
This was the only Forgotten Campaign who was merely reworked a little in ''Definitive Edition'' rather than being overhauled.
The player is in control of Turks, Magyars and Slavs, the color being Red.
!!Scenarios:
!!!The Dragon Spreads his Wings
Young Vlad Dracula spent his youth in exile at the court of Sultan Murad, far from his homeland of Wallachia. Now that he has come of age, he's ready to return and move against his rival, Vladislav II of the Danesti. Knowing very well that his meager amount of troops won't be enough, Dracula has to seek the help of the three local Voivods in order to defeat Vladislav and reclaim what's his.
!!!The Return of the Dragon
Forced to flee to Moldavia, Dracula observes from the shadows as Vladislav II betrays his country and allies with the Ottomans. Following the advice of King Bogdan II of Moldavia, Dracula travels to Castle Bran, on wary of Danesti troops, in order to take control of the Order of the Dragon, a powerful order of Knights willing to espouse the Draculesti cause. With the help of the local Wallachian villages, Dracula must take control of Bran Castle, build a solid base and ally with Hungary in order to deliver a crushing defeat to Targoviste, Vladislav's stronghold.
!!!The Breath of the Dragon
Vladislav is dead, and Dracula takes over Wallachia, ruling his people with an iron fist, eradicating the criminals and slaying the treacherous Boyards in his court. Soon, the Dragon is stronger than ever, ready to exhale his fiery breath at the Turks: the Ottomans rule the nearby city of Giurgiu and have a well-guarded and well-fed garrison in Darstor, just across the river. Dracula is determinated to take over the city and destroy the Turks there.

!!This Campaign contains examples of:
* AdaptationDistillation: In ''Definitive Edition'', many scenarios are greatly simplified, and the scenario parts which were, essentially, [[{{Padding}} filler cutscenes]] were removed. For example, the first scenario immediately starts with Dracula in Wallachia, the three quests needed to obtain the Voivod's help are simplified and the final part with the unstoppable Hungar army is removed.
* AnimalMotifs: Dragons for Dracula, of course, as seen in the earlier scenario names.
* AxCrazy: Vlad Dracula means well, but enjoys staking a little too much.
* BadBoss: The fourth scenario has things such as Dracula slaying a monk for flattering him unrighteously and burning down defenseless Wallachian villages.
* BigBad: Vladislav II for the first part, before being quickly substituted by Mehmet II, Ottoman Sultan.
* DownerEnding: Best seen in the fourth scenario, where Dracula's attempted assault on the Turkish base ends in a defeat and ultimately Dracula himself is captured by the Turks and executed.
* FaceHeelTurn: Hungary in the first scenario supports Vladislav II. In the second scenario they're neutrals, but if you reach Imperial Age and give them enough food they'll ally with you. In the last scenario, Hungary is once again on your side in fighting the Turks and the Basarab Laiota.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Vlad makes an example of the fallen enemies and prisoners by impaling them on giant stakes.
* KickTheDog: The fourth mission has Dracula killing a monk who flattered him and later destroying defenseless Wallachian villages who are in the way.
* PuzzleBoss: Darstor in the third scenario is powerful and well-fortified, but needs a costant supply of resources from the neighbouring Slavs and Bulgar villages. If you manage to take them down, their production will slowly come to an halt and you can have an easier victory over them.
* ShoutOut: The old man met by the narrator looks dangerously like the vampire Dracula described by Bran Stoker (though at least he's shown commanding wolves through food rather than sorcery).
* SmugSnake: King Vladislav II, especially in DE, where he costantly hurls insults and threats from his fortress.
* StarterVillain: Vladislav II of Danesti is the first main antagonist.
* SuddenGameplayChange: All over the place in the original Forgotten HD campaign, which features in-game cutscenes, stealth missions, tactical battle sequences and a Risiko-like feature in the second scenario.
* VillainHasAPoint: Dracula's methods are inhuman and cruel, for sure, but at least Wallachia does become stronger and crime-free.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: One way to see Dracula, unless you want to consider him a full-blown VillainProtagonist.
