Battle for Azeroth: War of Thorns

[SyrDyus]

A wonderful company in terms of atmosphere, graphic solutions and plot, many thanks for your many years of work!

Do you plan to continue this story - BFA: Battle for Darkshore?

 

[OhGee]

Would prefer to give 4 1/2, however giving 4 seems low. Very good campaign, missions & items, however could be longer, which suppose is a sign that was enjoying. The story is dark and at the end am really gunning to kill Sylvannis, however since is based off a book, am hoping she gets hers in the sequel, as she is a total bitch in this one. Wish Wally had really killed her. Actually would of been good to not have any missions as the horde and played as night elfs & allies the whole campaign. At least the orc has a shred of decency, am not sure why he is siding with those other low lifes.

crash on macbook M1, patch 1.36. How to solve it?

I don't provide a solution for the macOS. There is even more bugs when you attempt to play custom campaigns with 1.36.
If you want to avoid crashes, please try playing this campaign on Windows.

 

[eFarren]

Is there a 1.31 legacy download for this mod?

 

[Ravager16829]

Is there a 1.31 legacy download for this mod?

Please check the Map Description. Latest updates are only work for 1.36 (Reforged). This means, you have to buy the game!

 

[LordDxl]

One of the best Warcraft 3 campaigns I've ever played, you can see that the creator really loves what they do.

I haven't played much WoW, and definitely not any of the newer expansions, so it's really sweet to see story, especially in an RTS format.

Hello,

The archer corpses in the first map are standing for me (it looks like the archers are alive, just paralyzed...)...

Is this a known bug?

EDIT: To clarify, I'm talking about the corpses in the first playable map. By the way, during cinematics, the main hero's portrait in the same map is periodically covered by something pink flying over their face for a split second... It's very distracting. That should be another bug since the portrait doesn't have this problem during gameplay. Only during cinematics.

If the game is compatible with Reforged and not Reforged version please state this somewhere in the description so there is no confusion.

Custom Voice Acting Update Development

• I started experimenting with ElevenLab's Voice Cloning tech a few months ago and the results were promising
• While there are limitations, adding voices in a campaign added a lot to the immersion
• I began work on adding voice acting to my follow-up campaign Battle for Azeroth: Blood and Fire (release to follow)
• Began implementing voice acting to this campaign, War of Thorns
• Small visual updates like standing corpses, Sylvanas having bugged animations during cinematics have been fixed

Clarifications

• This campaign has been updated to work exclusively for Warcraft III: Reforged (v.1.36)

Just out of curiosity, do you have plans to add voice acting to your Rexxar campaign Med.mapguy (and your others ones)?

 

[muaddib]

im having careful optimism with reforged, but i admit, this looks dope. nice to hear from you again med map guy. been enjoying it all so far!

 

[Kallel]

Hello,

I would like to signal that in the latest version neither the bug with the corpses nor the problem with the portrait that I signaled in my last comment were actually fixed...

I'm using the latest WC3 version. Didn't buy Reforged.

 

[Med. MapGuy]

For whatever reason on the download section, the "recommended version" to play my campaign is displayed as 1.30, when it's for 1.36.

Just out of curiosity, do you have plans to add voice acting to your Rexxar campaign Med.mapguy (and your others ones)?

Yep, I'm currently working on adding voices to the Book of Rexxar campaign, which will be followed by Joe's Quest Remake series.

I would like to signal that in the latest version neither the bug with the corpses nor the problem with the portrait that I signaled in my last comment were actually fixed...

This latest update only works for Reforged. If you're interested, you can grab a copy of Reforged now for 15 bucks as its currently on sale (at the time of this writing).

Is it too much to ask for a re-upload of the latest version that didn't require to buy Reforged (a concurrent re-upload with the current version of the campaign, I mean) ?

To be clear, I'm actually on WC3 version 1.36.1, it's just that I didn't buy the """"updated"""" models... Nor do I want to no matter the price, honestly.

Do you have some kind of modified wc3 local files or multiple versions of wc3 that could be conflicting with each other? Those are the only two issues I know of that could be causing you to have problems that others do not when playing on the latest patch wc3. I was just playing the first few chapters of this a few weeks ago, and did not experience the pink cinematic bug you experienced, and I do not recall any archer corpse issue.

This current version Medmapguy uploaded does not require reforged graphics, it just needs the latest version of wc3. He might even have it set to classic graphics only, since he uses his own WoW style of models, which might conflict with "reforged" graphics. Uploading multiple versions of the map would potentially create issues for people who casually want to play custom campaigns, since they will not necessarily know what the difference between the multiple concurrent map versions are (even if they are named "1.32+" and "pre1.32"in the campaign name, since casual players just want to download a campaign and play it without needing to know much extra information.)

 

[Kallel]

UPDATE: It seems that the bug with the corpses (at the very least) WAS actually fixed for the majority of archer corpses... But two of them have been missing from the bug fixing and are still standing... It's the first two that you meet in the map "A Disturbance in Ashenvale" - those that are standing among a pack of wolves. I saw them without checking the rest of the map and I thought that the problem was still persisting generally.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've uninstalled and re-installed WC3 and nothing changed, those two archer corpses remain standing. As for conflicting WC3 versions, I DO have two separate installs of v1.27b, that shouldn't actually conflict with the main WC3 installation since they don't use the Documents folder...

Hey There awesome Campaign! If anyone wants to see it, here you go!

 

[dantesaki05]

can anyone can provide with 1.27 version of the game please?

 

[Ravager16829]

can anyone can provide with 1.27 version of the game please?

Unfortunately, this campaign has been updated to be ONLY PLAYABLE on Reforged (1.36). There is no even an older versions of this campaign for Classic 1.27. However, the sequel of this campaign, Blood and Fire, is still playable on Classic 1.27 (the custom VO version of Blood and Fire still requires 1.36).

(Im using google translate)
Hello. Im newbie Wc3.
May I ask why, after I completed chapter 1, when I clicked continue to move on to chapter 2, I was informed: This map has been saved by a more recent version of the editor. It may contain data which are not supported in this version. Continue loading map?
I clicked Yes but every time I clicked the notification reappeared no matter how many times I clicked yes but when I chose to play chapter 3 it was still normal and it was fine.
i am using version 1.36.1.21015 x86_64

 

[tulee]

i am using version 1.36.1.21015 x86_64

His campaign was saved on the latest patch of wc3 (1.36.2+). You are using an older patch, which is probably why the issue is occurring.

 

[w3maniac]

IDK if that's intended but probably not - seems like a bug:
In chapter "Stalemate at the Wildbend", when I reach the base in top right corner, I can't root any Ancient Protectors I've built (and they can't be repaired by wisps (it says the Protectors are organic)). It's OK in the next chapter.

 

[PenetratorGod]

In the sequel campaign can play with version 1.27, but why not in the first one?

 

[Ravager16829]

In the sequel campaign can play with version 1.27, but why not in the first one?

I don't even know about the main reason, but the Rexxar custom campaign (Drum of War) is also playable on 1.27.
An updated version of this campaign compatible with the latest patch has an AI-generated voice-lines.
The same thing also applies to Warcraft Adventures series (Joe, Mordork, Deandra).
Keep in mind that the original author will most likely update the other campaigns that make them unplayable on 1.27 due to the inclusion of the custom campaigns on 2.0. patch, which is still buggy right now.

 

[IronKorean]

Hi,
how do I download/install this?
I downloaded the campaign-file and moved it to my wc3 custom-campaign-folder...however I do not see it in game.
What am I missing?

I have reforged, but use classic d graphic.

Do other custom campaigns work for you? Can you post a picture of the folder where you are putting your campaign in?

Custom campaigns must be placed in "Documents/Warcraft III/Campaigns" folder. There's no need to add something other than the "Campaigns".
Also, make sure your campaign file MUST NOT be placed within a sub-folders if you are using the latest patch of Reforged. The game doesn't support any kind of sub-folders in custom campaigns, but your downloaded custom maps will do.

I just realized that there is another Campaign-Folder in the WC3 files and it does not work with that one.
As you said I have to use Documents/...

Thanks!

Med. MapGuy's campaigns are only playable on the latest Reforged patch (currently 2.0.3). Unfortunately, the older versions for this campaign, which works on 1.27, isn't available anymore.

 

[Shatterfury]

In the mission "Stalemate at the Wildbend" the Ancient Protectors you make cannot be deployed.

Edit. The Sentry doesn`t have access to any upgrades.

Feedback: Battle for Azeroth: War of Thorns​

Game Version: Warcraft III: Reforged (2.0)
Map Version: Updated Jul 12, 2025

This campaign was absolutely amazing — I truly enjoyed it from start to finish!
The models, voice acting, and overall presentation were top-notch. It’s a very high-quality project, as expected from this creator. Every cinematic and gameplay sequence felt well-crafted and faithful to the Warcraft universe.
However, I encountered a few minor issues during my playthrough:

• Chapter 2: One of the characters (Onu) had dialogue during a cinematic, but no voice was heard. There were also some unopened barrel crates that seemed like they should be interactable.
• Chapter 3: The Warden who appears with her army from behind the trees did not move and remained stuck in place.

Aside from these small bugs, everything else was excellent.
I’m eagerly looking forward to playing the sequel — this campaign truly deserves all five stars for its dedication, atmosphere, and execution.

Rating:

• Story & Lore:
• Gameplay:
• Visuals & Design:
• Audio & Voice Acting:
• Creativity & Originality:
• Technical Performance:
• Replayability:
• Overall Rating: (5/5)

• Streamlined level design of “Stalemate at the Wildbend”, cleaned up doodads, altered some dialogue
• Player no longer required destroy red Horde base’s Fortress in “Stalemate at the Wildbend”
• Removed rescue Wardens optional quest, repositioned Monstrous Shredder mini-boss units in “Stalemate at the Wildbend”
• Changed color of Horde units in "Fall of Lor'danel"
• Added more incidental dialogue for Grimfang, Lord Murray and Malfurion in "Fall of Lor'danel"
• Removed doodad trees which obstructed gameplay, removed Forsaken base near the swamp, redid Forsaken prison camp in "Fall of Lor'danel"
• Tweaked camera positions in "Up in Flames"

If you have any feedback, encounter any annoying visual bugs, glitches, etc, please share them here or send a DM. Thanks and enjoy!

Hi Med. MapGuy,
Is this new update meant to be playyed with v1.36 (as mentioned in the text description) or patch or v2.00 patch (As mentioned in the miniature below)?

 

[Kallel]

Hello Med. MapGuy,

Thank you very much for the great work as usual, and thank you for fixing the issue with the standing dead bodies...

But there's something that periodically passes over Delaryn Summermoon's face in her portrait. Is there no way to remove that? It's kinda distracting...

 

[Med. MapGuy]

Hi Bruce, the campaign should be playable with latest patch / v.2.0.3 of Reforged.

But there's something that periodically passes over Delaryn Summermoon's face in her portrait. Is there no way to remove that? It's kinda distracting...

Hi Kallel, you're in luck. I just updated the campaign which has an updated Delaryn portrait that removes the weapon she swings around while talking. Enjoy! Just message if you encounter any more issues.

Pretty much what MedMapGuy said (and tulee's suggestions). If you don't want to be confused about mentioning the required game versions for playing all maps and campaigns, just go straight to the latest WC3 patch from Battle.net either by redeeming your old key to the Battle.net account or simply buying a legit copy that unlocks the Reforged graphics. Be warned that the "CD-Key redemption" option is obsolete after November 21, so you have to do it immediately.

Thank you SO much!!

 

[ninis45]

Could have been much better. The RPG mission were fun despite being extremly bugged. Some objectives were accomplished randomly and sometimes they don't even if we fulfilled the conditions. Another annoying bugged appears in Valyria mission where in the middle of the map a cinematic which suppose to appear in the begining reappear and oblige us to replay the whole map once again...

 

[QuarantineAbser]

Great campaign!

I played on v2.04 - Hard difficulty, so maybe some of these were fixed, I made a mistake by not checking for new version before playing since I downloaded this 1 week before the update, ill list some things I am noticing as I play, if they are fixed ignore them

1) Chapter 1: Just wondering, would something change if I did not kill the children at the orphanage? I saw in Chapter 2 it was mentioned that the Horde set it on fire and killed them, so maybe we can change that if we don't touch it?
2) Chapter 2: Wally's E ability will be mapped as Q, if players already mapped Alchemist Healing ability to Q, so it will override it, for anyone that does not know, just map Alchemist Q as E in the settings, and it will make Wally ability E as well.
3) Chapter 3: There is wrong subtitle in the dialogue at the start of the mission, it was something like, "We must not let the corrupted beasts to their own devices", and the text was 'madness' instead of 'devices', or it was vice versa.
4) Chapter 3: It would be nice if you put something next to the Mercenary Camp owned by the player so I can buy units while playing the game instead of forcing me to move units back to get them since it requires Nearby Patron, which makes me 1 unit short anyway. Maybe you could move the stash a little bit to the right so it can act as a patron. I can see that it works like that for the Shop since the items are lit up (pictures below). Just QoL change imo.

5) Chapter 3: The tree Onu, does not have voice lines.
6) Chapter 4: Same thing with Barracks as in 4)
7) Chapter 4: I noticed that Berserkers spears when they attack are not visible and do not make sound, same with Sira, her attack animation is missing
8) Chapter 4: Sylvanass Ultimate oneshots Heroes as well, was this intended? I just pressed R on Sira, at first I thoughts its units only. I mean she should be strong, so maybe its intended idk.
9) Chapter 5: Ancient of War which is built by the player is not the same as the one given when I acquired the top right base a base. The Ancient of War built by me had Sentry as an option to train, the given one did not have it.
10) Interlude: Sauron says 'for the kaldorei', instead of 'on the kaldorei' before shouting "For the Horde".

Again, I want to mention I played v2.04 of this map, maybe some of these were fixed in the latest version. Great campaign, onto the sequel.

 

[Med. MapGuy]

Small update made which includes tweaked difficulty settings:

• Removed handicap in early levels for "Normal" difficulty
• Enemies in "Normal" and "Hard" difficulty all have upgraded HP and armor
• Changed Horde units that were the wrong faction in "Fall of Lor'danel"
