Change Campaign Stories (Timeline)

[mckill2009]

I've always wanted to re-create the campaign of WC3 and change the timeline for it like...what if?...

so what if in the human mission, when Uther was removed by Arthas as a paladin. Uther tries
to save the people by letting them escape? but he should not be seen by Artha's force or
else he will be in massive attacks by Artha's...

in other words, Arthas & Malganis are AI's who do their normal campaign job, Uther is the
user Player, and all heroes has custom abilities and kill requirements are high...


so you can share your ideas here on campaign changes...

First actual creative idea I've seen. I like how you play as Uther while not being seen.

You could do a sort of campaign which has the same timeline as the normal campaigns but from a different point of view, as what you have said. Maybe even do a what if kind of thing, again, like you said.

For example in the Human Campaign, the quest where Arthas lands on Northrend to find Frostmourne, you could make the players play the local tuskarr tribes who are trying to slay the undead as well.

Good idea but it's unlikely...
During the cinematic at the beginning of the game, Uther was told the civilians are to be turn into the Undead and Arthas decides to eradicate all the residents...
So, if Uther were to evacuate the civilians, it only serve to allow evil to spread...

However, it's possible to make this 'What if...' scenario for this map by having this additional factor; Not all civilians are infected, allowing the players to go on a search & rescue mission...

nice ideas guys, actually there are so many things to shift the timeline and do it much more
challenging, Im not going to make the whole campaign but only 1 map of the campaign...

another example of this is;
what if, Tyrande really dies in the NE campaign and Illidan is locked again by Maev,
the Naga will engage the NE's and try to free their master once more, it would
be a great map since both NE and humans will battle againts the Nagas and the
undead force will be unstoppable...

Your another 'What if...' campaign has a little flaw...

At which part did Tyrande dies...?
If it's Chapter One, the whole Kalimdor is overrun by the Burning Legion since Tyrande is unable to awaken Malfurion and later releasing Illidan...

Illidan was released by Tyrande and captured again by Maiev...
If this happen, the Nagas will not surface since Illidan haven't made a pact with the Nagas and summons them prior to the Frozen Throne NE campaign event...
However, the Nagas may surface IF Queen Azshara has planned to conquer the surface long before Illidan offer their pact...


QUESTION : Is this 'What If...' map going to be single-player or multi-player...?

 

[mckill2009]

At which part did Tyrande dies...?
If it's Chapter One, the whole Kalimdor is overrun by the Burning Legion since Tyrande is unable to awaken Malfurion and later releasing Illidan...

No, Im talking about Maev/Kael/Tyrande, escorting the caravan, remember when Tyrande casts starfall at the Bridge?
what if she truly dies there?, Im talking about The Frozen Throne not ROC, lol...

Nagas will not surface since Illidan haven't made a pact with the Nagas

now that part is my mistake if I were talking of before Ilidan was released from borrow den, hehe...

a multiplayer will be good, as Im making it an option...

 

[Wandering Soul]

Here's a 'What If...' scenario...

What If... The one who answer the call of the Lich King, rally the Cult of the Damn and spread the Undead Plague on Lordaeron is not Kel'thuzad but Jaina Proudmoore...

I always wanted someone to do an alternate campaign where Arthas decides not to get Frostmourne and he stays a good guy. Which would also mean that the High Elves never joined Illidan and be blood elves. Maybe Uther and Arthas could go to Outland to slow the Burning Legion. I'd just really like to see Arthas on the Alliance's side again.
