The last time TheSpoon was online was 6 months ago and the last time he gave news about the campaign was about a year and a half ago. I felt like he had given up on the RoC campaigns quite a while ago judging by that. I've also sent him a message about me doing this and have told him that if he ever wishes me to stop then I will.

I would ask before doing, not do it, then ask for permission.
That's just me. I'll check it out later though. If this get approved, it would be nice to see it get finished :)

Could you do another in which there is a Orc Campaign nine?
TheSpoon did one for the Alliance one in which it foretold the Expedition after Arthas defeated Mal'ganis.

Although true, the hosted project is/was lead by TheSpoon and McQvaBlood, where TheSpoon was in charge of the RoC campaigns, so doing it without at least a warning feels like 'hijacking' part of their project.
I completely agree, and if Spoon has no intention, then by all means, but at the same time, if he does, but just has been busy, perhaps he can say "DO so with my blessing" yanno.

At any rate, any map can be edited since they are all owned by blizzard, but still, I would ask before edited anyone's project. Just who I am.
As for the map itself, lety me know when to finish your to-do stuff & best of luck though Bruto.

I highly doubt I will. The only thing I can come up with is Grom and Thrall going to the canyon and killing Mannoroth, and that isnt alot to work with. Time will show.

You could have it lead to the cinematic on where Thrall and Grom kill him.
Letting the Orc and Human Forces leave afterwards to would be great.

I'm so happy to see some trying to finish this :D It was very sad that only one chapter from the orc campaign was missing, I really hope this gets finished so it's finally complete :) Good luck with this, and I really hope TheSpoon is going to be OK with it

Great to see this, I think map is gonna be real tough to beat though, Towers had Fortified armor and Pierce dealt bonus damage to heavy in RoC.

Probably going to be close to impossible to keep units alive from infernals.

while I agree he/they have some intelectual property of this(the notion of spliting the RoC and TFT campaign to 2-P mode), they have no physical ones, because this is just modification of Blizzard's work.

If I create new type of car, should I credit Ford for making cars 100 years ago?

Nevertheless, asking for permision from a user that didnt log to hive for 6 months is kind of ridiculous

For the Night Elf campaign, you could follow this:

It would be cool you add this hero for the Second Player: Pained

Chapter 1: Enemies at the Gate = Tyrande(P1) and Pained(P2)
Chapter 2: Daughters of the Moon = Tyrande(P1) and Pained(P2)
Chapter 3: The Awakening of Stormrage = Tyrande(P1) and Pained(P2)
Chapter 4: The Druids Arise = Tyrande and Shandris(P1) Furion and Pained(P2)
Chapter 5: Brothers in Blood = Tyrande(P1) Furion(P2)
Chapter 6: A Destiny of Flame and Sorrow = Illidan(P1) Alandien Maybe? (P2)
Chapter 7: Twilight of the Gods = Tyrande and Shandris(P1) Furion and Pained(P2)

Just suggestion lol

Looks nice imo. Though I prefer sticking to Shandris for the main secondary hero. The other problem is finding appropriate models for them.

Orc09, what about something like:
Mannoroth splits Thrall and Grom apart into two different segments of the cave, and have to battle their way through in order to reach Mannoroth. Soon enough, the two encounter Mannoroth and Thrall is knocked out. Fortunately, Nazgrel comes to the rescue (he was following Thrall) and helps Grom take out Mannoroth. That should be good.

I'd be more interested in playing the night Elf campaign rather then working on a bonus Orc mission.

Well, If I ever do a bonus Orc mission it will definetly be after I've finished the night elf campaigns.

Also, more good new - I've tested the save/load system and it worked perfecty with my code from the previous chapter(the one uploaded currently has a typo in a trigger so it reads the codes incorrectly), so I'll post the map in the Maps section later today after I have done a bit more testing.

Well, it would be actually nice to see something unique for awhile.
Anyway, it's your decision dude.
Good luck on more campaigns and stuff!

The fact we just had an addition to the 2p mission is not unique? not to mention you yourself could work on a campaign like many other that spin off the original.
Why try and change the current one, when the whole point is to just make it playable with 2 players? ;)

I agree with you. I know Pyraeus liked to add his own touch to the maps, but his last activity was 2 months ago.

is that the guy who did the bonus campaign too? and added like an entire new troll race as well?

I very much disliked those maps due to its failure to correctly balance the campaign, but it's just my opinion.

He did the exodus, and the troll race, but the maps themselve were good and while not the same as the original held the same main story with a bit of a twist to it.

Also the map has been uploaded the Maps Section[link]. I've fixed some bugs and now the loading goes like a charm. I'll keep this thread up just in case there is something major and it doesnt get accepted.
