2P Campaign: Sentinel 02

Sentinels Campaign: Terror of the Tides
Based on the work of The-Spoon and Blizzard Entertainment.

Chapter Two: The Broken Isles
"The next day, on the shores of a mysterious island chain, Maiev and her Watchers inspect some ancient, yet strangely familiar ruins."

General Changes: Features Warden Saithis as the second hero. / Features a number of systems: shared powerups, techtree, upgrades, infromation, tribute commands, tweaked upkeep levels and food limit, slow harvesting. (See Useful Links for more information.) / You can choose from two difficulties: Normal and Insane.

Insane Mode: The AI of Naga Strikeforce and Illidan's Servitors are improved.

Important Information: The 2 Player Campaign is a concept first brought to Warcraft III by The-Spoon. The idea is to convert the original maps of Blizzard Entertainment so that it can be played by two people. The-Spoon, however, only wishes to complete the Reign of Chaos campaigns. Therefore, I have decided to do the Sentinel campaign.

Useful Links: You can view the full list of credits here / You can read the complete list of systems, mechanics and commands here. / If you want to be notified automatically when a new map of the 2 player campaign is released, subscribe to the thread found here.
This version recognizes the loading codes generated by version 1.00 maps as valid. / Bounty is now split. / The heroes' levels, stats and skills are now displayed at the start and end of the map using a Multiboard. / Saithis now has an ultimate. / Twilight Guardian now lists its damage and hit point values correctly. / Saithis' hotkeys finalized. (Blade Shield; Shift; Summon Twilight Guardian; Maiden of Pain) / The Staff of Preservation may now be used on allies. / A severe issue that allowed players to skip cinematics prematurely has been fixed. / The maps now use a higher resolution map preview so as to look better when uploaded to the Hiveworkshop.

Possible Changes:

  1. Drak' Thul's side quest is too easy to complete with 2 players, you will need to make it harder. Perhaps adding a mini-boss there or have 5 spawning zones instead of the default 3. (right now it seems like it is exactly the same as single player).
  2. It would also appear that the naga defending the Tomb of Sargaras (the finale) have not been altered. It was comparatively too easy for 2 players and provided a very 'anti-climatic' final battle for the map. (Keep in mind that I am playing with my GF who is fairly new to micro/macro-management so if we find a battle extremely easy it most likely is for everyone)

Overall: Good map, fun to play.

First of all, a big thanks for these much needed reviews. I see the devotion in you that I have for TheSpoon's maps and that's a great thing. However, I ask you to post bugs and reviews in the hosted project forums found here. It is much easier to keep track of what I've fixed and what I changed if it is in one place. It would also eliminate the need for six seperate discussions and constantly repeating myself.

As I read through your posts, it became clear to me that most of your difficulty problems are because you're playing on normal mode and for the most part, I was only testing insane mode. For example, the Drak'thul side-quest features a number of stationary guards near each Ziggurat, making it impossible to destroy using just two heroes.
Also, the Naga Guards at the end of the map are replaced by Royal Guards, a total of six, which are extremely hard to defeat, once again, only if you are playing on insane.

However, my failure to test if the normal maps are hard enough should not be a concern for you. Instead, I would be more than happy to discuss how normal could be made a bit harder without making it too hard. Please, open a thread with your ideas in the hosted project forums.
I'm also thinking about introducing a new difficulty: What is currently normal would become easy, normal would be a bit harder, this is where you could help me, and insane would remain the same.
