I uploaded the map and many people wanted it more difficult. I pleased the wishes of both admins and my testers. I added and changed something for the testers while the description I updated to be more understandable and in order. Hope you like it. Enjoy.
This map is originally made by Blizzard Entertainment for Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne's Scourge Campaign. The map is called "A New Power In Lordaeron", which is Chapter Six in the Scourge Campaign. The map was edited by me so two players could play, but not just that. It's more just then just that. The map's difficulty selection has been removed and the map has been made to be challenging for anyone who plays it with another. Also added a bonus. Same map, but with 3 PLAYERS now. Look below for more information. The map is highly updated and features the battle from the original Legacy of the Scourge Campaign. The battle between Garithos' Alliance and Sylvanas' Forsaken versus Balnazzar's forces. Features 2 player and 3 player mode.

BONUS MAP - Coming soon.

Description of the Player's Armies - The two player armies are "The Forsaken" of Dark Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, and "The Alliance" of Lord Othmar Garithos. Each sides has two heroes, which means that one new one has been added, including sounds for that very specific new hero. The new hero is at the side of the Alliance and is a undead, not a human. The Undead's Altar of Darkness building has been modified into a "Gargoyle Spire" and many skins of the undead has been changed. They look more "undeadish" then before. Unlike in Blizzard's version, the Alliance have new models and skins. Their Knights can Esnare enemy units. Also the Alliance can build the Arcane Sanctum, which has got Priests, Sorceress', and Spell Breakers to train unlike in the original map. All these units are human, which replaced the Blood Elves who Garithos banished. When rescuing the Dwarves of Ironforge, the player also unlocks the Gryphon Aviary in which she/he can train Gryphon Riders, which wasn't possible in the original version.

Description of Balnazzar's Servants - The Undead Forces of Balnazzar have been reinforced in this map. Their bases have a really good defense and their enemy attacking heroes have been modified. Two undead heroes were also added to attack the player's bases, which means 5 undead heroes will attack the player's bases. Every hero of the enemy is level 15 and made to fight you as long as it takes. They won't go down easily, I assure you of that. Custom Heroes for the enemy have been made as well to make it harder to destroy the enemy. At least 4 - 5 enemy heroes protecting each enemy base, which put up a really good fight. The enemy heroes have got better skins, while some didn't get new ones at all.

The Scarlet Crusade slays all who stand in their way and are allied with no one. The Scarlet Crusade's mission is to purge the land of the infected ones, which carry the undead plague. The Scarlet Crusade has finally begun their crusade, but even against the living. Why? They are convinced that those who are outside of their order are plagued, including the forces of the vile Alliance. Although their primary concern is to wipe out Balnazzar's forces and the Forsaken. They also lay heavy siege to the Alliance who allied them selves with the Forsaken them selves. The Scarlet Crusade has established a base to the north east regions of Lordaeron, thus send their forces from the north to lay siege to anyone who stand in their way. Lead by Lord Shikashi and his champions, Tuffnut and Ruffnut. The Scarlet Crusade plans to wipe those they think are plagued. Now seeing that the Alliance has allied them selves with the Forsaken. They are convinced that the Alliance are, indeed, plagued.

The Raven's Edge Clan have appeared and allied them selves with Balnazzar's forces. Not Fel, Chaos, or anything of a sort. They are "Dark Fel Orcs". Trained to be destroyers. They lay siege to all who stand in their way and in Balnazzar's way. The Raven's Edge Clan have established settlements within the Capital City Ruins of Lordaeron and protect the valuable treasure they found within the Ruined City. Their Champions are the most brutal of them all and will not stop at anything to kill you.

Custom Lore:

The Raven's Edge Clan was a brutal clan on Draenor. The most powerful and the best organized. They feared no one and were more intellectual then any clan. They were lead by their mysterious leader they called "The Raven" and they were her servants. The Orcs called them selves her weapon's edge, which is why they named them selves the "Raven's Edge Clan". The Raven's Edge Clan was responsible for the beginning of all the clans on Draenor and they brought glory to them in many battles with the axe called "Raven's Edge". The Orcish Clans suspected the Raven's Edge Clan weren't lead by an orc, but someone appearing as one. The Clan was formed since the beginning of the everything in the universe and for that were suspected in more by the clans. However, in one day and one night, the Raven's Edge Clan mysteriously vanished from Draenor. Their homes, their kind, their ways, and everything else just vanished mysteriously, but one thing remained. The very axe their leader carried into battle: "The Raven's Edge". Shortly after their mysterious disappearance, new orcish clans began to rise and new orcish civilization arose, thus replacing the old orcish traditions. The Raven's Edge Clan remained in the orc's legends and mythology. No one knows why they suddenly vanished that day, or how, and why they left their chieftain's axe behind. However, maybe one day that story will be discovered.

well, the map is really good :D

Sugestion

-but about the tower is so strong and kill many warrior because the caos'attack(perhaps only 1k of HP is good ) and some hero is so powerfull

-about one "bug" lets say when destroy the orange base, the orcs stop, but sometimes come the hero crypt lord and kill the base if have there.

-i think the orange base and green base can be like a bridge between them

-in the human base can have the wall like in the forsaken base.

-some undead heros, doesn't appear like undead and can't use the holy light them.

-perhaps the Scarlet Crusade can be a player and be more full.

But the maps is cool, for win the map i need use 3 hours and 27 minutes of game until kill all undead bases ! 4/5 + rep :D

-Thank you for the feedback. I will explain why I decided to leave the towers to be strong. I tested my own map multiple times with another player and we both realized how easy it was to infiltrate and destroy Balnazzar's forces. The Towers have many HP, due to the fact that we want to make sure it's one hell of a battle. 1000 HP was easy for it to go down. So we put 2000.

-I am totally unaware of the orange base Crypt Hero spawning. Perhaps I screwed up something there. I shall take a quick look into it.

-That is a really nice suggestion. I will think about it.

-Those walls in the Forsaken Base are big and require some space, which in the human base is kinda too big, but it's possible to be added. I'll see if I'm going to do it, because I wish for the terrain to same kind of the same like Blizzard made it.

-Ah, it's an item. Doesn't bother me much. xD

-The Scarlet Crusade? You mean to be allied with the Alliance and the Forsaken? I think they wouldn't like that, but another army to ally with them is possible. Maybe I will release a version where three players can play, but I got to stick to the lore for that idea. So, I will need to think of an army which was there and at that very time, thus I must think off the sole purpose of why they allied them selves with humans and undeads versus Balnazzar.

yes, and about the lore the scarlet crudade only is created after the forsaken is created( after this battle) if you don't want put the scarlet the silver hand is cool or perhaps some high elves that remains in the lordaeron's garden :D

That isn't confirmed when the Scarlet Crusade was formed. All it said was after the destruction Arthas left. Then the Scarlet Crusade was formed. It's unknown if they were formed after or before the battle, :p. As for the High Elves. Um... Garithos is racist? And if Balnazzar would take over whole of Lordaeron. Why the hell would he leave the elves back in his garden? Wouldn't make sense. XD

Yes this is true, but in the campaign still have some high elves and perhaps they can stay with Sylvanas, like you put the fel orc haha'

Obs: I forget told about the human tower, is better put them armor to fortificaded.

I'll leave the Human towers as Blizzard made them. They put it for a reason. Balnazzar summons demons and other servants from demon areas. Unfortunately some orcs are from those area even today in Warcraft lore. So the orcs can be there through a portal. XD

blizzard made the tower with fortificaded armor only change because was add + 1 tower, the arcane tower, and i think better remove them, they are elf tower and put the other 2 towers fortificaded.

The Arcane Towers are also from Dalaran and were already in the game in the original map. However, the cannon tower wasn't, which I added, but if it bothers you so much. I will change the armor of the Guard Tower to "fortified". xD.

I don't have anything for suggestions, but, the Scarlet crusade wouldn't be working for the undead, for they came to lordearon to exterminate the remaining mindless undead after prince arthur left.
They're not working with the undead. They are destroying anything in their way. They're against everyone and thank you for the comments, thus thanks for testing.

EDIT - Screwed BBC Codes fixed. Also can someone tell me how my custom minimap thing can show when I upload or update my map. I can't seem to find out. xD

EDIT 2 - NVM about the last edit thing. I hope someone replies and gives feedback.

This is a really nice map, but it would make sense if you'd add more detail to how that demoin knight is there and how the Scarlet Crusade is not an ally with the alliance of Garithos, it would also make sense where the fel orcs came from, it would be nice to see how the the scarlet vrusade and the fell orcs are there exactly, it's also AI right, so you control one base wile the other is controlled by the computer, so the base that's controlled by the AI will attack the enemy

anyway i would give this map a 9/10, for design, the map and the support units in garithos' army, and items in each hero,

Maybe you can add an additional cutscene between the Scarlet Crusade and Garithos' forces?

Some bugs:
When I charmed one of the Scarlet Workers, I found out that they have Varimathras' Inferno ability. The turrets of the Dwarven Siege Engine are also firing while walking. The Knight still benefits from Animal War Training even though he is no longer on a horse.

Anyways, here's a version with AI. If you set either player to be played by a computer, it can function as if it were in a Melee Map. The Alliance AI adapts to the addition of Dwarf thanks to some triggers I added.

NOTE: If the Alliance AI gets "stuck", have either Garithos ,the other hero, or both die so that the AI can "reset". This is useful especially after rescuing the Dwarves.
