Hmm. May be a bug or new problem. You will have to ask the author of the game on that one.

It's probably because of the latest patch bugs. Please refrain from rating without actually playing first.
Also, try informing yourself first, like from the posts right above you.

I have removed your unfair rating! As @deepstrasz stated, it is clearly a bug because of the latest patch.

Thank you if for your answear !!

 

[deepstrasz]

Thank you if for your answear !!

A bit of reading and searching would do wonders. Try some posts above.
Would be nice if the authors posted a proper message about this in the start of this thread description though.

hello, the project is NOT abandoned, we're heavily active in development and majority of our updates can be found on our platforms such as discord/twitter and Ytube, however with Patch 1.33 it destroyed a lot of custom games and the majority are inaccessible.

 

[mnadeau1992]

I'm eager to try this one. Thanks for your hardwork in bringing good RTS games to life!

Can't start this company. The app launches the company via regular Warcraft 3, not via reforget. And this mistake constantly crawls out when in additional companies I press Warcraft 2:

 

[standardtrickyness]

Can you make this playable in WC3 classic?

There are 3 possible reasons:
1.Your campaign installation is corrupted. Solution is re-download the whole campaign file + installer.
2.You are using the outdated Quenching Mod. Download the latest one and make sure you disabled the QM-related features before playing this campaign.
3.Even worse, it might be related to the latest Reforged patch (1.33 and 1.34). If this case is right, then sadly, you can't play this campaign because a lot of custom game functions are broken.

Can you make this playable in WC3 classic?

Make sure you read the "Recommended version" section before downloading the campaign. It's for Reforged, but 1.33 and 1.34 aren't compatible because of known issues (see the author's notice above).

 

[lichao001486]

Is the demo playable in 1.35 version?

 

[OutsiderXE]

Is the demo playable in 1.35 version?

I played the first mission for two minutes, just to test. It was perfectly fine in 1.35.

Very good.

 

[DesMarekle]

Just finished playing the first three and a half missions.

First off, technical issues:

• It is in fact playable in 1.35. The file needs to be downloaded and put into "Documents/Warcraft III/Campaigns" and it will show up just fine in the Custom Campaigns menu
• Oil is broken. You can gather it and use it for buildings, but you can't build ships with it. I whosyourdaddy'd the second half of chapter III with my single destroyer, but chapter IV is not playable without a transport (which I assume costs oil? I quit after exploring the starting island and checking out the blacksmith.

Secondly, ideas, criticism and so forth:

• Although I really like what you did with them, some cut scenes and especially some sections of them are too long. Some cutting and editing is advised.
• Have you considered cutting a digit from every resource amount? There is no gameplay difference in workers gathering 100 or 10 golds each time and a grunt costing 400 or 40? The only difference is that repairing is currently very cheap and numbers are unnecessarily large. I know that's in keeping with the "original spirit of the game", but that part of it has always been stupid.
• Radical idea: scrap the oil system alltogether; just cut that part of WC2 out and replace it with something or nothing and just rebalance the gold and wood costs for naval units. It never made much sense lore-wise anyway.
• Overall, I like the mod, although I'm trying not to compare it to re-reforged, which I played directly before ... Anyway, I'm looking forward to playing the whole thing in some distant year.

I’m curious, does this have heroes or no heroes? warcraft 2 is no heroes which leads to amazing gameplay. warcraft 3 is entirely a different game. so my end question Is this warcraft 3 with wc2 assets or wc2?

Based on playing the game so far, the story is Warcraft II but uses elements of Warcraft III, which is not bad. There are also some things that couldn't be executed due to WE's limitations, like Adv. Structures and whatnot. And when you say 'wc2 assets,' yes... sorta. Well, it remade almost all things you've seen from Warcraft II, but with Warcraft III's--specifically Reforged's--twist in it. Like a way to remaster the game using a different game as engine somewhat. Game being Warcraft II, and engine meaning using Warcraft III as a baseline.

 

[Danym333]

Works well for me on 1.36 as a custom campaign. Just drag and drop in campaigns folder and this amazing demo functions. I've played through it multiple times and I can't wait for more

They just released a spellcasters showcase video on youtube a month ago.

 

[JStryker47]

So this project is still being worked on then? If so, I'm eternally grateful to hear it. I've seen some pretty great custom campaigns so far, but regrettably, most of them haven't been very reforged-friendly. (Not that it's any fault on the creators' parts, of course.)

Idk about this project (last month is the last quotes for this thread), but currently, you can't play this campaign right now until the author had made a decision for the final release of this campaign.

Eh, I'm not bothered so much by not being able to play the beta. I can totally wait for the full release.

At any rate, I did come across their youtube channel, with some pretty recent updates.

All I can say is, it's a massive project, easily twice the size of regular campaigns, if not bigger, and that does not even include the crazy amount of custom assets and work done for cinematics and terrain.
I am not going to mention a release window, but I can give a bit of insight into my tasks: I joined the team 9 weeks ago and I am now done 2/3 with my tasks. Those include:

• Re-structure triggers/variables
• Identify and remove leaks in triggers
• Fix buggy AI/attack waves
• Balance Easy difficulty
• Polish quest messages
• Polish cinematic fade outs/ins
• Provide feedback on gameplay and cinematics

 

[Yawghomoth]

Absolutely perfect trailers. I can't wait to play keep it up! This is definitely going to be my favourite campaign in WC history.

They've got you as part of the team in this project? Well then, this promises to be fun!

I only helped out for a few months with some bugfixing

 

[JStryker47]

Did... I do something wrong? I've installed this game and when I play it, the orc models all appear untextured. Except Gul'dan, he's fine. But all the other orcs just have the red parts of their armor showing correctly.

Edit: Okay, I've downloaded the asset installer and pack, but when I open the installer, it doesn't have the "load resource" button. It just has "load CSW", "start game", and "delete CSW". And when I click the first, it only accepts .w3n files. (Selecting the campaign file appeared to do the trick, but it just made the game crash when I tried to run it, until I deleted.)

[Rommel]

The trailer alone is very impressive. So many small lore details like chains holding the Eye of Sargeras' pedestal being the same as ones used for his avatar in WoW. Congratulations on the release!

 

[paladinjst]

woal~~~~~~~~~~~~~finally~

 

[OutsiderXE]

Yippee Ki-Yay Murloc Friends!

 

[Sapprine]

A lot of models are bugged out for me

 

[Fugrim]

Very nice installation.
Really has the feeling of an entire new game
Time to take it slow and enjoy exploring / finding everything.
Those features for skins is also included? Remember there were some that we got from echivements unlock

 

[Raven80]

well, this campaign is so well made and grand that my pc cant even run it xDDD
anyway, definitely going to enjoy it when WalkThrough gets on YT, probably jayborino
Awesome job!

If you have issues with textures - reboot your PC. I already added that into instruction)

 

[PanZaraza]

Better than Reforged

Ive done that and theyre still bugged

 

[Symphoneum]

Ive done that and theyre still bugged

when you ran the installation program, did you run it as administrator?

 

[Bitterman]

Can we get a Alternative Link, Hive's Download servers are giving me 1h

 

[ShadiHD]

emergency link is up.

 

[raypack]

Cannot download the asset pack:
"Too many users have viewed or downloaded this file recently. Please try accessing the file again later. If the file you are trying to access is particularly large or is shared with many people, it may take up to 24 hours to be able to view or download the file. If you still can't access a file after 24 hours, contact your domain administrator."

Same for the campaign through the google drive link.

Asset Installer did download though.

I'm fine with waiting 1 hour for the campaign to download through hive, but from what I gather, I won't be able to play this without the asset pack.
