1.Foreword:
Phewww, made it :D for the third time! And hard it was this time. I had said once that I would rather cut off my hands than create another campaign (though in the meantime I broke my leg, so I guess that counts to...) but in December 2007 I was so bored that I tried to create a map to see how an exterior-Karazhan would look like, and 20 months later a campaign was born, based on the book "The Last Guardian". This campaign is so much different than my other projects. An experiment. This book has so much text that I thought it was inpsossible to create something playable, until I returned to the idea to create an adventure and combined it with it. In February 2008 I had to do military service in greece so UI had much time to think of the gameplay elements. I returned 5 months later and neither worked nor went to school for aobut 2 months. In september I started doing both and the planned 5 months needed to finish this project became 20 (- 5 military actually). What am i going to do now? NOT promise that i'm not going to make another campaign, because I already have started!! my frist two campaigns brought me an internship with a popular german developer called Blue Byte (famous in germany for The Settlers series) where i've been helping with their project for the last couple months. And when Blizzard one day releases StarCraft II...I will enjoy their campaign first ;)
2.The campaign (mini-spoiler):
The campaign follows the story of the book "The Last Guardian", written by Jeff Grubb. During the Warcraft 1 period, young Khadgar becomes apprentive of Medivh and unveils the hideous machinery behind the orcs' coming. Like DotD and LotD I don't follow the story 100%ly, to supprt gameplay, otherwise I could have made a cinematic series as well. The campaign contains 10 maps. 7 normal, 3 cinematics. There are no optional quests. The gameplay is strictly linear and you control mostly only Khadgar from fixed camera perspectives. You solve riddles, fight monsters now and then, combine items and have conversations.
3.Bugs:
They exist, like always, and I fought to the end to kill them. There may be a patch but only if the reported bugs really prevent fluent gameplay, but I hope it won't be necessary. Please report bugs to outsiderxe [AT] web.de . The campaign was last tested with 1.23 but seemd to work fine with 1.24 as well.
-General-Some teyxts may be too long or too short to read them properly. Grammar mistakes may be there. I did the QA myself.
-General-Units and objects may not play the proper animation.
-General-Camera angles may be confusing at times.
-General-Various floating texts may not be removed.
-General-Dialog question in dialog windows may not be shown.
-General-Items, objects and Units may be destroyable when they should not.
-General-Cheatcodes are allowed, but may kill your game, because the project wasnt made with them in mind.
-Chapter 1-Gargoyles may be attackable too early.
-Chapter 1-You cant buy the expensive items on purpose.
-Chapter 2-The second page of the alchemy guide mayy not be readable.
-Chapter 1-You can open the first chest even if you had all wrong.
-Chapter 3-Khadgar loses or gets a skill point when becoming a grunt/mage.
-Interludium-Aegwynn and Sargeras are not alone in the endfight.
-Chapter 4-You may miss the street signs when trying to click on them.
-Chapter 6-Khadgar loses or gets a skill point when becoming a grunt/mage.
-Chapter 7-The endvideos are not skippable.
-Chapter 7-If you kill medivh or one of the statues the game may not continue or medivh may be duplicated.
Please report any bugs, even the above, to the above mentioned e-mail address.
4.Walkthrough-Guide (please ask in your favorite warcraft 3-forum if you have any questions):
-General-Read all dialogues and hints! Pay special attention to colored text!
-General-there is a hidden medivh-specter in each map you should click on.
-General-Use spells and items as often as possible. dont care about mana!
-Chapter 1-You have to activate the three rune-groups to open the waygate.
-Chapter 2-Khadgar carries a letter fro medivh in the first chapter you should read carefully.
-Chapter 3-Use all dialog options when speaking to Lothar.
-Chapter 3-Attack anything you can attack.
-Chapter 4-Use the street signs. Remember where you are. Dont lose orientation.
-Chapter 5-Use Garona when you can.
-Chapter 6-Learn the use of Khadgar's new skills.
-Chapter 7-Use everything you learned so far.
-Chapter 7-Statue Combat combinations are left-left, right-right, up-up, down-down or left-right, right-down, and so on.
-Chapter 7-Beat Medivh a different way...

Seems very entertaining so far, I have got to the part with the way gate and... HOW THE FUCK DO YOU OPEN IT? >:O I've stepped on those things for about half an hour.
Edit: Seriously... This must be a bug, I've walked back and forth over and over and the way gate never activates.

activate the lower runes and then go the upper left to activate the upper right (may need to do the last step more than once).
it sucks that you have found bugs already and this time i think i'll have to update the project, but i wont do it until i got comments about a complete playthrough for the campaign.

Okay, i found another bug. The mines (after the Zombie Quest) deal no damage.
Okay... More. The Swamp Chapter. I managed to cut the first tree, but then my gather skill changed to Return Resources! And i can't return it anywhere!
Nvm.
Some of the riddles are nearly impossible, like the Order Code one after Stormwind Chapter... I don't get it.

I'm testing your campaign and it is really great, even if it isn't easy to understand sometimes. But now, i'm stuck for a while so i ask for help :x
in the second chapter, i have to count deads for a peasan, and cut tree and give it to another peasan. I did the first, then i cut a tree near a rune, and now i don't understand how to give the wood to the peasan. i tried to cut a second tree (second rune) but now i haven't the cut ability anymore. So, don't know what to do.

could you drop the axe and pick it up again to regain the cut-ability? if not you should restart.
