The Adventures of Rowan the Wise v4.5

[ironymon]

This is an excellent parody of some of the most horrible custom campaigns out there.
I mean this story has just so many flaws that I am tempted to believe these flaws were all planned out.
Nevertheless, the creator still succeeded in creating a fun gameplay to deliver this parody. Good job.

One little mistake though is that the Goblins can be possessed on the underground mission and if you get a Goblin possessed and then you kill it, you make yourself fail the game.

What are you talking about.. This is purely an attempt to show what if scourge had invaded lordaeron and a great one.. The voice actors were funny... I don't get the part how uther got mad i mean wth?

Now with the bug i found... When your in the chapter hunt for siege "the one you must find steam engines" when you walk into the faceless chamber trigger the floor trap the screen goes black and IF you repeatedly click escape the impenetrable wall won't appear and you'll be able to escape... EVEN worse at the second chamber if you click escape at all your heroes and everyone dissapear thus restarting or loading is the only option. These two bugs occured to me idk if that even happened to others.

 

[Kel-Thuzad Rules]

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
fucking loved it
Excpt Logans voice. The only horrible thing in whole campaign. xD

 

[GamingFreak212]

You areone of the greatest campaign creators that ever lived you rock for life

 

[GamingFreak212]

Dude if you are to be in a contest of campaign making you may have a good chance of winning it

 

[dethwaker3]

A very nice campaign indeed!

The voice acting was very nice...but it doesn't fit the characters really well. Like Rowan's voice sounded too young...(He has white hair). And Logan's voice seems way too young. Also, the heroes are way too overpowered in the last 5 chapters. All 5 heroes can defeat the any base in the last chapter...Didn't even need a single unit (maybe a siege tank or two)

 

[Wa666r]

Sweet its everything i ever wanted Maive with a french acent

 

[nic]

Oh yeah this Campaign is the BEST 100/100%!!!

 

[Turnro]

This campaign has been updated. To see the changes that have been made, view the change log in this campaign's description.

The campaign has now been updated to match the unit stats of the user’s current version of Warcraft 3. This is because Warcraft 3 has been updated quite a bit since the release of Frozen Throne (version 1.12 or something) and now the unti stats have been matched to the more newer versions (but also depends on the user's current version, so the gameplay may vary from user to user).

I will now try to focus on Resurrection of the Scourge. It has been a while as I haven't had the time to make it. If I don't finish Chapter 8 within the next few weeks, I will instead update the current maps (including the Hard difficulty option error).

As always, feedback is much appreciated

 

[Kiamati]

There is a problem with chapter 4. The map doesn't upload, the loading bar stops halfway through.

I'll have a look into it. Have you tried more then once?

 

[laczzard]

I played this campaing last year, but i only finished the firs chapter, i don`t know why, i will let you know when i finish it

 

[laczzard]

Ho yes, i remember now, i left the campaing because i didnt like the second chapter

 

[Kiamati]

I'll have a look into it. Have you tried more then once?

I tried 4 times, both from the end of the previous chapter and from the campaign main screen.

 

[Tleno]

This looks like a one great and fun campaing... the overall idea kinda reminds me of Joe's quest, only more... much more ambitious.

 

[GerkaLT22]

omg best map then i ever play !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in 2 Chapter uther say i like horse and spell chicken that make me laugh 10/10 !!!!! DD

 

[GerkaLT22]

omg 4 Chapter can't load full it's stop at half !!!!!!!! no :O

 

[Turnro]

This campaign has been fixed from the bug which would not allow Chapter 4 to load. Normally I wouldn't update a campaign that needs only a couple of fixes, but this time is an exception because it was a major bug and I really want to get into making my other campaigns.

This bug was a result from the compression methods I used for the maps. Now that it has been fixed, there shouldn't be any more bugs. As always, feedback is much appreciated.

The Campaign gives a good alternate story just at times I felt a bit less efforts put regarding terrain and spells
but still it was much enjoyable considering the work put in with the voice acting
I've played all missions till the last one where it had so many units that my pc heavily lagged xD

 

[X21Reaper]

Great Campaign

just played the first chapter, 5/5! i hope the rest of the campaign is the same.

 

[ShogunFromBrazil]

Man I have resatarted mission 4 about 6 times - and loading always stops on a half. I was waitin for about 10 minutes - nothing changed.

And about Orc Campaign - Am I right - it was based on Battle Realms - Serpent Campaign - Capital City is a Serpentholm, Necromancer on the top of the mountains - than kill human without base but with necro - it is a mission with Shinja and Necro when they are fightin with dragon clan - and again next mission - is analog of return to the serpentholm.
Am I Right, Turnro????

 

[Turnro]

Man I have resatarted mission 4 about 6 times - and loading always stops on a half. I was waitin for about 10 minutes - nothing changed.

That is a problem that has now been fixed. Download the campaign again.

And about Orc Campaign - Am I right - it was based on Battle Realms

I had some inspiration from Battle Realms if that was what you meant. I'm eventually going to update that campaign since it has a lot of work to do.

 

[d34thst4lker]

no offense or anything but the custom voices annoyed the hell outa me xD

 

[Aayush.007]

I want to ask you two questions Turnro

1.How did you create your own units like Dwarfs Guardian, Shield breaker and Bowen The Swift

2. When will the full undead campaign Resurrection of the Scourge will be uploaded because I do not want to download it again and again for each map

btw,Great campaign I have also played the orc one but that do not have sound

In answer to your questions:

1. I didn't create those models. I downloaded them from hive and gave credit to the creators of those models.

2. Unsure when the full Undead Campaign will come out, but give it a year. I don't have much time into making it but will dedicate the time when holidays start. I'll just PM you when all the maps have been added

 

[Aayush.007]

Well I found a bug on the chapter 5: when undead attack you just send 1 man to stop them and after the man is killed they will return they wont advance further or just send Rowan there as they attack Rowan use Divine Shield and they will return if no one else is attacking them I finished this chapter by this way.

 

[Aayush.007]

Well i see them on this site sorry for the first question but I don't find Dwarf worker [Miner] will you give me the link for him please. I want to ask you one more question as I am new in world editor I don't know how to import Hero from other maps well when i opened your maps in world editor except the first and second map non of them have Rowan also you have given him some commands such as dialogues and to move and also other commands will you tell me which Event,Conditions and action to use for it.

 

[Aayush.007]

Great campaign man Orc one is also great.

Will you create one with neutral Hero like Goblin Tinker,Alchemist and Fire Lord and your custom made Hero as well.

 

[Turnro]

To answer your question easily, upload the Demo Campaign in World Editor. The triggers used to upload Thrall will tell you exactly how to import heroes.

Will you create one with neutral Hero like Goblin Tinker,Alchemist and Fire Lord and your custom made Hero as well.

If your into map making, I'm sure that you will be inspiried to make your own campaigns with these heroes

 

[Drunki]

It has to be said

Kudos to you for using custom voice actors in your campaign, as risky as it is, it is so very refreshing instead of reading line after line of silent dialog.
I especially liked the voice actors of Arthas, Rowan and the mage woman (what her name was).
Maiev, The Ranger, the blood mage and demon summoner... terrible sorry : /

I am curious as how you managed to create the orc voices? The normal orcs i mean, not the blademaster. It sounded like you used some program to change their voices to sound more orcish?

 

[Turnro]

I didn't use any programs to modify the voices. Its called good voice acting skills.

Thanks for the feedback, by the way. I might consider changing some of the characters voices in the future.

 

[Gamling]

Thanks for the campaign, now the Ressurection of the Scourge Campaign explains Rowan. 5/5

 

[Elite Slayer]

I have only just finished the fifth chapter of this campaign, which is entitled 'Invasion of Dalaran', I do believe. And thus I am unable to submit a full review until I complete the entiriety of it. However, I would just like to share a brief statement detailing my general opinion of 'Rowan the Wise' thus far.

I won't be rating it as of yet, but, so far, I'd have given it a 7/10 (3.5/5, rounded off to 4/5).
The terraining is competent, despite being slightly rough-around-the-edges in certain chapters (such as in chapter two), the gameplay is appealing and enjoyable, utilizing generic Warcraft play but in an original and fun fashion, and the plot, while lacking a certain flare here and there, is original and coherent.
However, I must mention these two words: voice acting. While some of the voice actors were the right people for the job, such as they who acted Rowan and Antonidas, a few of the cast just didn't seem to put too much effort into it, or, ironically, too much effort, such as they who voice-acted Tara and Maiev (my goodness...). A fairly decent cast, and I can see it was worthwhile to include voice-acting to spruce up the gameplay, but it wasn't flawless.

Still, I'm enjoying playing this so far, and I must commend you for all that you have done right - which is certainly a lot! I'm sure many others will enjoy this campaign as much as I am currently, if not more. Good job!

 

[KaiokenStylee]

I laughed so hard by antonidas XD The part where he goes in the portal and where Arthas catched him is just too epic
Beside the Dwarf Campain this is the best Campain I played
It was funny, story was good and it had varied tasks.
The voice acting was also a good idea and pretty good.
5* I hope you keep it up =)

edit: Too bad I can't rate Have to be a member for 10 days.

 

[Sarciness]

Hi, I think this is a fun campaign and the first I have played (other than original ROC and TFT). I am really enjoying it (up to chapter 5 now). The missions seem well-thought out and the storyline flows quite natually.

Over all I think it is very well done apart from the dialogue. It is not very natual English in places and some of the voices are... not the best. I would like to volunteer myself to help. If you would like me to edit any dialogue to make it more natural and 'medieval' sounding like original WC then I will happily do so (also your use to your/you're is often incorrect, plus other little errors). Also if you want me to voice act any parts I could give it a shot. I have a British accent.

This is great fun and I'd like to help make it a bit more polished.

Regards.

Sarc

Hi Sarciness.
Thanks for the offer. I'll PM you about what I have to say.

 

[hayatesasaki]

AWESOME CAMPAIGN XD !!!!!!!!! I know there wasn't exactly room for a sequal but make one!? Ive played this one like 6 times XD

 

[Dogzo]

tunro, how the hell did you suceded in recording such a good quality for roman campgain?

 

[Turnro]

Hey Dogzo. Check the wallpost I wrote from your visitor message.

 

[TDA]

I decided to review this Campaign. Please note that I have only played unitl chapter seven.
Here goes nothing

These Marks will be showen next to all my coments and have been atributed meanings (Wohoo!)

[*] Minor glich (usualy things that are easy to fix)
[-] Major inconvinience or downside.
[+] Things to admire.
[=] Nothing special nothing wrong.
[->] Sugestions.
[BUG] Well you get it.

General:

[*] At the loading screen of the very fisr chapter, the description seams to be eater incompleete, or has a tipo "he is determined to be a part of one of" The of at the end. maby you descrip was to long and it was cut short. or it is just a simple tipo. and at chapter seven it says "Rowan the his warriors" I think you ment "and" instead of "the".

[*] The range at wich you compleete the return to buzan quests (and in fact all got speack to person quests) is just a little bit so small. When I other click to move to buzan, rowan moves to a certen distance away from buzan, and that distance is not within the complete quest radius. just enlarge the compleete quest radius of all of these quests by a bit.

[+] I liked the way you introdiced the defend skill

[->] Second chapter first impresions. I tought to my self "Argh the town has no villigers!" In the first map you had villigers runnig around, you should make some neutral villigers moving about there buisnes here two. and also 3 or 5 workers that start in random places around the town and all move to the town hall exactly in the place where u usualy get workers at the begining.

[->] In the second chapter It would be grate if you had a timer counting down the time until Artas arives. so there would be some time presure. also a quest to aquire a gift to give the good prince for his arival, somthing like a special golden wolf skin (to add some action to the begining of the chapter). and after that have another knight come in and say that Artas will be ariveing quiker than expected so the time presure realy gets to the player.

[->] I like Bevan to bad you don't have more custom heroes and less standard ones. Surely you could take the standard heroes you have and twist them by giving them original spells, and then just name threre class an other way.

[-] I didn't like the cave map. It was just to plain. Dungeon maps should have higher noumber of units than just 2 + summoned elementals. it is what makes them fun. Freadom of choice. what you have just forces the player to use the paladin shield shield in every battle, summon elemental and blizzard. and when the mages life is low holy light then start over and repeat. and the few mobs you get later stil aren't enough cause all they do is overpower you.

[=] I would have liked to see more originality regarding the gameplay. Let me explain. This campaign is supose to have blizard like maps and gameplay, and it does that 100%% right, but blizard has 7 campaigns of this sort, and what makes them special among each other is the different races. your map is like a third Human campaign. and I ask you. What if it ware it's own kind of campaign species? Wouldent it have been spectacular? I know it sounds cruel, but the best your getting from using blizzards units and heroes is a no good no bad mark [=] Bevan whas the highlight of the campaign (Gues why).

Story:

[-] The Dialogue can be preety cheeasy "As a reward I have placed a tome next to me" this can be replaced with "Take this book of knolage. Perhaps it will be of use to you." and it will sound much better. (There are more lines that will need replacing)

"Your next task is to read the tome of knollage" this is by far the worst line I have encountered in the campaign.

[BTW] OMG what the hell did you do to Uther!!! (That is all I have to say about the subject) but some of his fans might want to kill you.

Sound:

[+] Music was used properly alltough briefly

[->] Perhaps you could use music outside of cut-scenes cause human theme (The thing that is allways playing in the background) is old and borring. try some of the others, and maby even import some. (I mean over a 86 MB campaign, you can aford 10 Mb more for nice Rowan specific music) Thrust me, this will give it soul!

[+] Voice acting... This is one of thouse things that has got to go straight to the upside bin regardles of how pour the voice acting realy is. because it's existence says something in its self

[+] Rowans voice and the voices of orcs, Knights, Footmen, Huntreses, Emisarys, Arthas and bevan sound grate. and evil Arthas sounds exactly like the real thing and there are a few good voices wich I forgot to mention

[*] Nicholas Buzan sounds like he is constantly being strangled. And the Priests are ridiculous. I know that I can't complain about the voice acting much, due to the fact that it is so dificult to come by, and even it's presence in a pour format, can be better than nothing.

[-] Maiev would have been better of without voice acting! She sounds like some kind of 6 year old balerina, and she is anything but!

Terraining and map ballance:

[=] The teraining is looks well done, but won't take my breath away.

[+] The Terain setup is very well tought out.

[+] The Balance seems to be good and that is one of the harder things to achive.

Bugs and Problems:

I'm glad to inform you that I found no such things in this campaign

Conclusions:

(If you exclude the sometimes ridiculous lines that the caracters have to say) The Mistakes in this campaign are few and far between, and I belive that You can enjoy this campaign as much as I have.
I admire the work you have put in this map and if you look at my review, there are 7x [+] 5x [*] 3X [-] and only 2X [=]

I have to give this map a 9/10 for the fact that it reminds me of the blizzard human campaigns so well, and it does it in grate fashion.

I recomand this Campaign as one of the finest

PM me for extra info or help on any of my advices. enspecialy the one about the music cause I meen that one alot.

Ps: Where did the mage girl disapear to after the cave map? she was just gone! did I do something wrong?
and please excuse my pour spelling.

 

[Blackdoom59]

An interesting alternative storyline you created here.Good job yet some parts are kind of fastfoward and quickly maded(exaple : The parts with uther).

 

[Dogzo]

[Turnro]

Thanks for the review about my campaign I'll PM you more about your opinions soon.

@tda about the bug you said to the shreder, im sure you cant revive because hes mechanical and not organic ;/?

You can't revive Goblin Shredders in the normal Warcraft 3 gameplay, so that's the way I kept it in the campaign.

 

[TDA]

Alright, the bug isn't a bug... I edited the original Review with the new information, and am waiting for your PM

 

[Aloush95]

Ive played your previous campains and i must say that they are exquisit. The only problem is that this campaign file is too big. It would be better if u put it in a zip folder dnt u thinnk? i dnt have the best intenet speed

 

[Vongola20th]

the heroes' max level is 10?? the invasion of dalaran, tara and rowan reached lvl 10 and stopped lvling.. Is there anything wrong or what?

 

[Turnro]

the heroes' max level is 10?? the invasion of dalaran, tara and rowan reached lvl 10 and stopped lvling.. Is there anything wrong or what?

Not at all. The max level in the campaign is 20. In the mission your playing, you can only get the heroes up to level 10.

 

[Dogzo]

how much did you terrain your campgain? i like to make campgains to but i suck at terarin, at now , im gonna make a hero survival, but i still have taste in campgains
