If the afflicted unit dies while under the effect of Outbreak, four Maggots will spawn from its corpse. Also stores maggots inside the Abomination's body that crawl out to fight after its death.

Doing somewhat better, thanks! There's a bunch of things I had planned to change. I think the most significant changes I had in mind was adding some troll enemies to break up the monotony of fighting the undead in the Quel'Thalas chapters, redesigning the map where Kael'thas goes full demoncrazy and adding a new intro cinematic. I think there was also some draenei stuff I wanted to add, involving them more early on and such so the story is closer to what it is in WoW, so it would have been a somewhat significant update, actually.

But it's fine in its current state as it is. Except that cinematic where Aewynne faints. I can't express how much I hate that. Why didn't she just lower her weapon!?



Weirdly enough, I'm mostly fine with Shadowlands, even though I'm not really into the concept of what they came up with. I quite liked all the zones themselves and their stories, but the actual "main" story surrounding Sylvanas is presented so badly. I don't even care that this was clearly not planned 10 years ago and they just came up with a new story for her, but like it wouldn't even be that bad and infuriating if they just had her talk like a normal person instead of constantly talking in cryptic monologues and sassy one liners.



Thanks for the kind words!



Oh yeah, I've definitely been feeling similar in regards to writing. I'm glad you're managing to get through that. I'd say for me, it's actually not as much a struggle of finding the motivation but the discipline to just get through it, cause as much as I love writing, that feeling of inspiration that makes the words flow themselves is honestly not there a lot of the time, so it's mostly a matter of just sitting down and getting through it. I think a big part of it is also managing my own expectations. Did this chapter turn out as I wanted it? Not entirely, but I'll leave it aside for now and return to it later. Most of the time I find that, as you said, it's actually pretty good! It might need more or less work, but that gut-feeling of disappointment I sometimes have when I first finish it mostly ends up being false. You can fix a turd and make it good, but if you don't have anything, you don't have anything to fix. It's good to be self-critical, even though it's sometimes a struggle not to get overly critical of yourself.

I think these campaigns, in a way, were a great help there. Aside from the fact that the mostly positive feedback left me with a feeling that I am doing something right, they were good practice in writing stories without the burden of actually creating the world, the characters, etc. I still had to juggle a lot in regards to pacing, dialogue, language, characters being consistent, and so on, which I think I succeeded in (at least in CotF v3.0, I think RotBE leaves a lot to be desired), so working on all that definitely left me with enough certainty that I can write my own story. Writing a book is a whole different beast, however, there's much more to consider than writing this kind of campaign where you have quite severe constraints.

But back to Warcraft 3, it's quite humbling that you (and everyone else who commented) think so highly of these campaigns! Being somewhat removed from them for years now, as I re-watched your playthrough of CotF v3.0, I was actually finding myself thinking, hey, this is really fun! Weird to say that about my own work, but as the fantasy author Joe Abercrombie once said (I'm paraphrasing), he loves his books cause they're exactly the kind of shit he loves to read. I guess that's why these campaigns worked. There's a lot of work involved in making them work, but at the end of the day, I just wanted to make something that I found fun to play.

If you do end up revisiting them, I'll be there to offer my thoughts in chat or comments! It's much easier to praise or shit on myself years after. I also find it oddly amusing to mock my own work. Seriously, why did Aewynne faint!?

And LOL I also wondered whether I should mention the "chapter won't load" thing. Hilariously (or infuriatingly), as I was watching your videos of the campaign, I think pretty much every video had multiple comments of people asking this question. Maybe the instructions I left are too vague? I also think a lot of people pirate this game so they may not be familiar with various versions of the game. Not sure, I don't really have any proof of that. Maybe people outside the mapmaking community just don't know about different versions. Interesting stuff.
Hey, Tomoraider. Your campaigns will always be awesome with high replayability factor. Wonder how will the next update of RotBE like... it would be a bombshell. In the deepest crevice of my heart, I harbor the hope of Seeds of Faith being revived in the future also (I recall it was 90% complete before it was mauled?).
As a writer of fantasy genre also, I can so fully relate. You will almost always hate what you've written everytime the written pieces are reread. Whenever I write poetic-themed piece and incorporate unto the story, the feeling of "Wow! I'm getting close to Shakespeare!" would birth but then dissipate immediately after realizing what shit I've written. The huge challenge is at creating a new race as many times are needed to polish to make it more "humane" and "proper". Worldbuilding seriously takes years and it's my insight 10 years are needed to build a world like LoftR. Best way to get better is just read and continue writing. And yeah: whenever muses send sudden revelations, record it down even on phone notes (whenever pen and paper are unavailable). The character development is quite a pain as even killing them off must be meaningful and well-written. But well, since creations are technically creator's children, they must be cherished at the end.
Good luck, Tomoraider. Director's Cut is certainly awaiting you.:ogre_haosis:

You should rate all best campaigns like OutsiderXE's and Rise of Blood Elves as "Director's Cut", too. They are Warcraft-related stories.

Thanks for the kind words! Seeds of Faith is never going to happen. It's been, what, like 5-6 years? More? I wasn't happy with how it turned out and I don't intend to go back to it. If I ever come back to Warcraft 3, I wouldn't want to work on that.

Personally, I don't spend a lot of time on the specifics and details of worldbuilding anymore, I'm more interested in exploring characters and their relationships with themselves, with the world and with each other. What makes them do what they do, and similar stuff. I also often jot down notes on my phone, sometimes at 2 am in the morning when I can't sleep and ideas keep coming to me lol.

Huh Seeds of Faith, that's a forgotten name, there was Shadow of Blood iirc, every update you did for your 2 projects were amazing at their time and will be preserved as jewels for wc3 imo
Just as the guy who said he's still waiting for Seeds of Faith, i'm kinda hoping you come back and do a coop campaign thingy or some maps from your campaigns too, they'd be a lot of fun playing with someone else, glad to hear you're doing fine, and make sure to let us know your book's name in the future to buy it :D

Hey, how's everyone doing? I've been rewatching Jayborino's playthrough of Curse of the Forsaken v3.0 and I thought I should come back here for a moment and let everyone know I'm still alive. It's been, what, almost a year since I last posted here? Been personally quite a tough year for me, but I'm on a bit of a break from everything right now so things are looking up. Jayborino should replay this on hard difficulty so I can suprise even myself by how hard I made this campaign, because I actually don't remember how it even plays on hard. Didn't I make it even harder when I did the v.3.0.1 update? This campaign came out three and a half years ago? The fuck. The pandemic has broken my perception of time.

Anyway, I have no idea what's going on with Warcraft 3 nowadays. I'm gonna say nothing, but maybe I'm wrong. I wanted to buy Reforged once it went on sale so I can play the official campaigns, but it never does so I guess both Blizzard and I are pretending it never happened.

It'd be fun to do that Rise of the Blood Elves update I've been talking about... for years now? Oof. I'd like to say someday I'll do it, but honestly, I've actually been writing my own fantasy book quite seriously for the last 3 or so years, especially this year, and that's where all my creative energy goes these days. Writing a book is hard. It's torture. Sometimes you force yourself to push through a chapter and you think you wrote the greatest pile of shit in existence and wonder what illness set you upon this path, then you reread it a week later and discover you're a god. You find one profound sentence and wonder why no one ever told you you're a genius. Then the next day you wonder again whether anything at all you wrote makes any sense and if you should just quit while you're still sane. And so it goes on and on. But I'll do it. I'll finish it! Then hopefully someday I can come back here and shamelessly shill for myself.

I haven't really been playing a lot of WoW lately either so I haven't really been super following up with what's going on. The story of Shadowlands has been horrifyingly amusing to follow, at least. I'm dreading how Sylvanas is gonna end up (they're gonna Kerrigan it, I know it), but I'm here for the memes. At least we'll always have the memes.

Anyway, thanks for reading my madman's yearly update. Not sure why I ranted about writing. It's great to see lots of people are still playing these campaigns, though. Thanks for all the kind comments, even though half of them are people asking why the second chapter won't load.
Broo im happy that you back, im in a project remastering your campaing, please find Lean Wolf Games Curse Of The Forsaken in youtube, isnt a spam, there have videos with the progres, but im working and stoped that proyect, i hope that you enjoy it, is in spanish but i will do in english too

So, I've recently been doing a playthrough of every campaign on hard, but with the twist of not being able to go above no upkeep, or 20/25 supply, if it was one of those missions where you can't build stuff. After doing all the vanilla campaigns, I decided to do this custom one first, since I remembered that it was pretty great. I sure as hell remembered right

The story and the music are both awesome.
  • I really liked how Sylvanas wasn't exactly the nicest person out there, but you can kind of understand her because she basically went through hell, and didn't really have bad intentions.
  • The music choices all fit perfectly into their situations, and it was nice to have the default Warcraft 3 undead theme swapped out for something new that fits the forsaken better (while keeping it consistent with Rise of the Blood Elves, which also had the default music swapped out for something more appropriate).

The gameplay has also improved a lot over the original, with a lot of small details that add up.
  • It's pretty cool how the forsaken race uses elements from the human and undead races (as they're kind of in between the two), but they still have access to a ton of weird and messed up things that carry on a theme of mystery and horror, which is what makes them unique. Are they overloaded and have a lot more overall features than other races? Absolutely, but it's compensated really well with lower overall stats, so the units aren't too overpowered.
  • It's also really nice how you've added flair to some of the other races you encounter, and that the undead scourge and the human alliance use a lot more than the vanilla units that you have in the Frozen Throne. The vrykul, the blood elves and the demons are also a completely new race made basically from scratch, which made it pretty refreshing to see these guys. The orkish horde was the only race that got nothing new, but I'm willing to look past that.
  • The maps themselves definitely kept the feel that the original campaign maps did, while still putting in that "Tomoraider flavor", which made them pretty enjoyable. The early games of macro missions got pretty oppressive a lot, which just makes it all the more satisfying when you get all of your cool upgrades, and you effortlessly push back all the opposition, which is also kind of on theme with the forsaken. Micro missions really do emphasize the micro, but they're also pretty big and adventurous, while having a their own unique identities (too bad there aren't many of them).

The heroes were pretty good too.
  • Sylvanas, Jaina and Thrall had to keep similarities with their original kits, but the campaign still gave them some neat new tools, usually in the place of old ones that weren't flashy or consistently useful. Specifically the Totem Mastery is a really cool idea for an ability, and it feels amazing when you get the mana to spam these lovely wards non stop.
  • I really like the idea of Vereesa as a long range artillery type hero with an ultimate that punishes mispositioning. She felt pretty unique, and I wish more custom campaigns would have heroes like her.
  • Lor'themar being an aggressive mage-tank hybrid is also neat, but I'm not sure if I agree with the choice of his new E. It fits with the theme of a fire mage better, and it also helps him do aoe damage which is his thing, but the ability to do an aoe knockup in a line was far more unique than... the Incinerate from Firelord (it's not an awful spell, but there could have been something more interesting).
  • Varian is fine, but it's not great that his W is a worse version of Searing Arrows and his ultimate is the Taunt of the Mountain Giant, except that it costs mana. These spells fit him well, but they could definitely be changed to make them feel better.
  • Putress' kit (and personality) definitely surpasses Phaelynne's. It's debatable if it's actually more useful, but it for sure is more consistent and user friendly, since his E and R can no longer harm you upon bad usage. All hail the Ooze!
  • Bolvar is shockingly good for a hero that is only there for one chapter (just imagine if he swapped Qs with Varian...). It's quite nice that Quel'Delar has his Divine Purpose ability, since it's a pretty fun to use.
  • Varimathras is just Varimathras. He didn't really need a new kit, and he's the only hero whose ultimate is inaccessible because he turns on you like the dummy he is.
There are a few minor things that I also really appreciate.
  • The way the difficulty works is great. I really dislike the original one that Blizzard did for custom campaigns, since it resets back to normal constantly. There are quite a few people that do this "select the difficulty upon starting the mission" thing, which is definitely great, but the one used in Curse of the Forsaken is even better, since you don't have to worry about accidently misclicking it anymore, you just press it at the start, and you never have to think about it again (unless you wanna change it mid-way, which you can do any time btw). The one weird thing that I noticed, is that when I check the difficulty on the "gameplay" section of the "options" menu, it says "hard" when I've watched an interlude before the mission, but "normal" when I didn't. Not sure if that last thing actually impacts anything, but I thought I'd report it anyway.
  • The terraining is great. It's not exactly the best I've ever seen, but it's up there. And I do acknowledge that it's a pretty hard, yet pretty overlooked part of mapmaking, but I feel like you've done a good job on the terrain with most of the maps in this campaign. There aren't many huge nonsensical open spaces without anything, needlessly tight paths or gigantic empty areas used for literally nothing.
  • I really appreciate that you've actually put up a link of two older versions of this campaign. You absolutely didn't need to do that, but you did it anyway for the few that might be interested, which is pretty sweet.
  • The WoW voice sets are quite nice. A lot of the campaigns are forced to use voice sets that have quotes that don't exactly make sense or are just simply repetitive, but hearing new things from a plenty of heroes and units feels refreshing (it gets even better when you mass click them, especially Jaina).

So now, here are some of my random thoughts on the chapters themselves:

CHAPTER 1 - Most campaigns don't start off with a macro mission, but this is a pretty good way to do it, starting it small scale, with just one gold mine on the middle and a few tiny outposts. The thing I'd change about this mission, is that I would make the two outposts without Town Halls (the Gryphon Aviary one to the east of your base, and the one on the southwest corner of the map) attack you as well, but I'd also reduce the size/number of the attacks from the other three outposts. It would smoothen out the process between "oh god, they are attacking a lot" and "alright, now I'll be 100% safe for sure", while giving the player a reason to care about those two outposts. Otherwise, a great first mission, and I think the design of the treasure sidequest is pretty lovely.

CHAPTER 2 - Originally, the second mission was the one with the worgen and the gargoyles on Silverpine forest, and this one was the third. I understand that you removed that map due to lore reasons, though I feel like the gameplay was perfectly fine, and now we're actually stuck without a micro mission where you use the forsaken (unless you count the second half of chapter 6). Anyhow, this mission isn't exactly the most exciting one, but it kind of gives you a more realistic picture of what the macro missions in this campaign will look like. I feel like the constant level 10 red dragon attacks from the southeast orc base that come after you destroy one of the two aggressors is a little too much, but that could have just been the effect of hard difficulty (thanks for not making them spell immune btw, I dread to imagine what this level would have been like without the ability to stun or Acid Bomb them). One weird thing that I noticed is that the AI actually kills the neutral troll camp, and I'm not exactly sure if that's intended.

CHAPTER 3 - I really love the way you changed this map. You gave the Dalaran bubble more purpose than just being a teaser/easter egg, while also giving the player some sidequests, and making the forsaken AI somewhat competent, while removing Mr. Inferno spammer Balnazzar from the base. My only problem is that the attacks with the level 10 hero on Sylvanas' base are a little excessive (Sylv can only get up to level 5 btw), though again, that could just be the hard difficulty. One bug that I found is that the Murloc side quest doesn't work if you reloaded a save, but that happens on the third mission of Legacy of the Damned with the ogres and the bandits as well, so it's probably not on you. And having access to ethereal banshees makes that quest kind of a joke (I'd probably change Lament of the Highborne to something else, like increasing Possession range while making the banshee invulnerable during it), but I guess the difficulty is supposed to come from actually getting a fully upgraded banshee, not making past the murloc guards.

CHAPTER 4 - The idea of this mission is actually pretty neat, it's basically a holdout mission in disguise, and you don't really see these kinds of maps often. The first time I've played this, Balnazzar's betrayal genuinely caught me off guard, but I understand why Garithos was with Detheroc now. One thing I'd change, is that I would make Balnazzar betray the humans when you're just about the complete the meat gathering quest, because if a demon kills a human, then that human won't leave meat behind, so if you're a little slow, you might be unable to actually complete the quest. You don't have to change this if you feel like it was intended to force the player to be aggressive, but I think having the betrayal wait would make more sense, especially because Balnazzar would have a specific reason to get mad at the humans now (over them feeding the vampire bats too much) rather than just randomly out of nowhere.

CHAPTER 5 - On my first playthrough, I was struggling a lot and actually lowered the difficulty just for this one level. Now I've learned that maybe I shouldn't ignore the creeps near Garrosh's and Drek'thar's base, and that spending my money on Orbs of Lightning rather than sustain items might not be a good idea, and I guess I just got very lucky, since I managed to beat this on first try now. This version is a huge improvement over the previous, mainly because of the side quest with the allies and all the creep camps around the map, both of which reward you for leaving the base. I also really like how the snowing gets more intense as you keep defending, eventually ending up in a full on snowstorm. The only thing I'd change, is that I would make Tyrande and Cairne just stand still in front of the last undead base until you personally start running in there. This would allow the player to properly scout the map without the allies putting you on an invisible timer, but again, if this was an intentional design choice then you don't have to change this.

CHAPTER 6 - I like that you didn't really change much about this level, cus it really didn't need more than a few minor stuff. It's pretty annoying that 3 of the 6 bases no longer consist of forsaken units and buildings, but getting a new base for every general was definitely a little too much, and you didn't really need more than the first 2 or 3 bases. The new sidequest is nice, and I appreciate that Gordo stays with you on the second part. It's pretty neat that you have an extra room right before the Varimathras encounter, and the Orb of Venom is a reward that fits really well there. Though there's also a throne room thingy, which doesn't really have anything, so its gate should probably be invulnerable. Just like in the second mission, this enemy AI also attacks neutral creep camps on sight. I also noticed that not every forsaken unit gets affected by the upgrade that lets them regenerate health outside of blight, with the banshee being the biggest example. And lastly, I think the Defile ability of the meat wagons should probably be removed when you unlock the passive that lets you regenerate outside of blight, because it's an ability that will help enemy undead units, but will not help you in the slightest.

CHAPTER 7 - The thing that I really like about the new version of this mission is how instead of you just facing everyday regular undead, you're actually fighting vrykul and san'layn, whereas previously, these two races both had their one mission and that was it, but now they're more of a persistent threat. This level did come with a pretty big bug though. Apparently, it's actually possible to possess a val'kyr if it's on the ground, but then you basically made it impossible to complete the side quest, as the counter will not go down, even if your possessed val'kyr dies. Also, when I possessed one of the ranged san'layn, I noticed that they have a passive lifesteal (the exact same one that the vampire bats have), yet they didn't actually heal at all when they attacked an enemy.

CHAPTER 8 - This is a weird one, because I really liked both the old and the new version, but for completely different reasons. The old one was about a small group getting lost within the tunnels, forcing the player to look for an exit while slowly rescuing everyone, and at the end, you have a choice to kill Anub'arak now, or deal with him later. This new one however, is about a bigger squad looking to enter Azjol-Nerub in order to shut down the nerubian attacks, which makes more sense for the canon story I suppose, but I genuinely found both pretty fun. The one little detail that I really appreciate is that all of the light related abilities (Bolvar's Wave of Light, the draenei's Consecration, the shaman's Lightning Shield, etc) actually provide a bit of vision the same way the torch does, which is pretty neat, and also kind of helpful if your torch hero isn't near. But the main thing I liked about this mission is how you get to have fun with that huge alliance of multiple races, which is something you don't really get to do that much here (the campaign is called curse of the forsaken after all).

CHAPTER 9 - Since you now have a big squad in ch8, it only makes sense that you have a small force here. Lor'themar being removed is annoying, but it makes a lot more sense since he and the blood elves are supposed to be stuck with the forsaken after all. It's pretty interesting how the player only has a few footmen as the frontline, forcing him to use the different backline spellcasters really well in order to succeed. That WoW-like sidequest with Quel'Delar was really cool, and I really appreciated it as someone who played quite a bit of Everquest (another MMO) back in the day. The boss fight wasn't as epic as it was before, but it's not like you could do a lot more for the small force that you have. It wasn't even the last time you see Lana'thel, so I'm ok with this fight not being as memorable. The Scroll of Truth is a pretty nice addition, though I wouldn't make it cost gold, since a lot of the players would rather spend the small amount that they do have on more useful stuff, and then they don't get to see it.

CHAPTER 10 - I really love how you changed this map. The section with Syvanas is basically the same, but the alliance and horde vs scourge section feels much more like a grand battle that you're completely missing out, now that it's a constant tug of war with the heroes yelling things, rather than the old simple AI bases that occasionally launch attack waves at each other. One weird thing that I found, is that none of the vrykul actually take up any supply when you possess them, with the exception of the armored wolf. This came in pretty handy, since I was limiting myself to 50 supply, and their units are actually quite good, but I thought I might report this. Also, remember how the abomination can put an infection on the enemy, which makes four timed maggots spawn when the target dies? Well, those maggots leave behind a corpse, and they can apparently be resurrected as permanent maggots by the val'kyr, and I'm not 100% sure if that's intended to happen.

CHAPTER 11 - Oh good lord. The difference between the difficulty of the original and this one is enormous. But I've heard that the mission was much harder before, cus allies used to play a lot worse, and they're still a little too passive and indecisive for my taste, but it's undeniable that they've helped me a ton, and they still attacked the enemy bases a few times, and most of those attacks did result in the destruction of said base, cus the attack forces of my allies were absolutely massive. The addition of the first part with Putress is pretty nice, and it gives you some actual consequences for the mistrust that the alliance has in you, while also letting you prepare for the grand battle of the second part. I like that you added Vereesa to the forsaken team, because it wasn't great that you only had Sylvanas while the alliance had 3 heroes, and now the player also gets to have more fun with Quel'Delar. Overall, this mission is definitely fitting as the final battle between two huge armies (even though it's wasn't the actual final battle), and I really enjoyed it.


CHAPTER 12 - The biggest and most important change here is the fact that instead of having to choose two extra heroes and their units, you just have them all. This basically lets you do all the fights while your heroes, keeping the units only for the finale with the Lich King. But there isn't really a way to solve this, other than by making the fights stupidly hard (which the previous version actually did xd), and doing this To the Bitter End style multi hero brawling is quite fun, so I'm fine with this. Now what I would change, is that I would swap some of the lumber pickups with gold, because the player simply gets too much lumber, while not having nearly enough gold to get enough units to use up all the supply. Another thing that I noticed is that you get access to blood elven swordsmen and human footmen at the same time, along with priests from both races as well. And the blood elven versions are just straight up upgrades, since they have the same stats, but the BE ones have Arcane Affinity. It's not a big thing, but I'd add something new to the human versions to make them a bit more special. Oh and lastly, there was a bit of a bug with the Lana'thel fight. If you kill her while an orb is out, the orb will disappear, and the controlled hero will remain hostile forever (maybe not after you start fighting Arthas, but there's no way I'm testing that). I'm gonna put up a screenshot as proof.

But overall the level was still miles better than the previous one. The sidequests were great, the fact that you have access to everything is awesome, and the Lich King fight is probably one of the most memorable boss fights I've had out of any Warcraft 3 campaign, and the ending was -chef's kiss- absolutely perfect.


Aaaaaaand that's it for my Curse of the Forsaken review! This campaign truly deserves to be the second most downloaded and sixth highest rated. I absolutely recommend it to anyone who liked either WoW or the original Warcraft 3 campaigns, and even if you're someone who is just looking to relax while enjoying the story and a new custom techtree, you can still select the easy difficulty, which will presumably make the macro missions a lot less oppressive.
The previous version of the campaign was an 8/10 or a 9/10, but now it's an absolute 10/10, even despite the minor bugs and nitpicks that I've had (you can pretty much nitpick anything after all).
Thank you for putting in the time and effort into this wonderful campaign, and I wish you all a nice day, and very happy holidays/new year!

Greetings, Tomo!

There is a bug in chapter 3 (posessing giant Murloc doesn't clear the optional quest, as other murlocs are still hostile), and in chapter 5 (defend against the Scourge mission, Garrosh and Drek'thar are sending reiforcements for 1 or 2 Scourge attacks, and after that they stop sending reinforcements even after activating the gateways, they just go back and forth in their bases until the end of the mission, so it's almost impossible to hold out even on normal difficulty, so I have to save and reload over and over again until I manage to finish the mission)

These problems were already discovered several years ago.
1.31.1 [Bug] Loading saved game breaks some unit events
You should not use 1.31.1 because the save-load thing will alter the whole gameplay.

Hello to all,

First of all, I send you all my best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year.

I'm sorry to ask a question that has probably been asked many times before but I can't find how to do it even when I google it.

I used to have a legal version of Warcraft 3 which I can't access anymore since the release of Reforged.

I found a 1.26 version. But how can I get access to a 1.30.4 version so I can play this great campaign again (or other versions depending on the campaign) ?

Thanks a lot!

Tommi Gustafsson had already posted the thread for 1.30.4:


As that guy's post above said, you'll need a working ROC and TFT keys in order to play this game.
If you are going to play OutsiderXE's campaign series or Malfurion Quest, you'll need 1.31.

If I ever come back to Warcraft 3, I wouldn't want to work on that.

Personally, I don't spend a lot of time on the specifics and details of worldbuilding anymore, I'm more interested in exploring characters and their relationships with themselves, with the world and with each other. What makes them do what they do, and similar stuff. I also often jot down notes on my phone, sometimes at 2 am in the morning when I can't sleep and ideas keep coming to me lol.
In case it will happen one day. Just two notes.

1. There are some people exist that prefer RTS more, it seems, and who still looking around about further WoW plot adaptation, me including. It is basically can go around pack of heroes and strategy & RPG elements combination, dialogs pick perhaps, optional quests, etc., rather then long base / defence building & tweaking. There are enough of that here and there, anyway. Original bonus orc campaign, perhaps, gone too far in this way, but it is one of the good examples in such case, I think.



Example from old " Nature's Call - Return of the Dragon" campaign. It also has interesting concept about sub maps using.

By other hand after all this years not much people get near the "Curse of the Forsaken" level of quality from my point view, same as basically covering the mentioned question especially. I've asked "Shadows of Hatred" author about some things two years ago, Shadows of Hatred v2.2.2 (Patch 1.30), but, it seems, he gave up back in the day in case of building new stuff for the moment, when other atempts, WoW plot in the WC3, didn't go far.

2. I've made fast check of the converted version of the "Curse of the Forsaken" via QM, Converted Campaign Download. There are some bugs exist, but in overall can tell that this sort of sd & hd combination looks / play fine enough. So, perhaps, with the help of QM loading feature, that first become available in version of 1.5 as I remember, something Reforge related might be done too.

I see people asking about patches. I've played all of the 3 mentioned campaigns here in a such way:

Shadows of Hatred 1.4 - 1.27b. No bugs.
Curse of the Forsaken 3.0 - 1.27b. 1 strange thing with the items in one place, in total - no bugs.
Rise of the Blood Elves 3.0 - 1.26a + near the end of the mission 10 switch to 1.27b to fix the specific bug.

Since then there have been updates, but perhaps someone will find this information useful.

There is part solution exist. Currently you can play hd & sd combination via Converted Campaign Download, but it contain several bugs. At end point, I suppose, till Blizzard will not add custom campaigns support and some other features, not much folks will care about / will continue to stick to the classic, but I'll be glad to be wrong, in case QM basically solves the problem for now in overall.

The new upgrade of Royal Laboratory Fortified Defenses has bug. The Coil and Virulent Towers wouldn't get fortified armor when you upgrade from Guard Towers. If you already built Coil and Virulent Towers then those would get fortified armors. This made me have to build line of Guard Tower to tank for those towers for. Btw I love how you make Banshee Possession use on worker. I had a lot of fun with Legion buildings, Scarlet Crusade and Scourge (Just to take the orb of corruption)

Very nice campaign. In the end I had no patience anymore and just watched Jayborino's Video. But I played it legit till chapter 11.
I wish there would be some more items to acquire and the epic items seemed a bit boring and weak. Veressa Windrunner has cool abillities and I wish we would have played her a lot sooner. Turning into the Banshee Queen was also very cool and strong! In my opinion was Azojl Nerub the worst chapter and wasted potential. Now only 1 campaign series left before I leave hive workshop forever...

edit: I rate it 4/5

This is one of the games that I have played several times over the years. The reason for this is that I don't remember anything about her. From a positive point of view, this is very good. On the negative side, I don't remember anything about the game because every time I've played it I've been forced to finish it. I like the Forsaken race, here and there some bugs that doesn't bother me in any way, but every chapter I play it with a feeling of boredom, and maybe Monotony is the more correct word - I don't know. From chapter 1 to the last chapter without exception. And I always start the campaign from the beginning with great desire and always sit down to continue the game with desire. Technically and visually, I have nothing to say - everything is great. I don't like the default music - but somehow I can live with it.

Tomoraider, what is there in Rise of the Blood Elves that is one of my favorite games that I forced myself to get off the computer to enjoy it for tomorrow but is completely missing in Curse of the Forsaken? Even the Hard difficulty level didn't improve the overall experience.

Hi, I just finished the 1st mission in the series, but there's something wrong when proceeding to the next level. It returns to the campaign screen, and when I click mission 2, the whole screen turn black. I click my mouse and hear the clicking sound but nothing ever happen, can anyone advise me how to solve it? Thank you.

Hmm, anyone can actually beat the mission 5 on hard mode? (I mean is it beatable)?

I really hate when there're new enemies showing up, the screen is moved to it, really distractive. And the snow at the end is a pain as well, it makes things more difficult to see and manuver, in such intense game

P/s: Ironically, I just reload the game and won, still barely. Guess the key was patience + learning a little by little to play perfectly, though I still lose a few time even after sucessfully defending for 20mins.

And thank you @VanAndro , for your help :D

Hello.
Awesome campaign. I stubbled on some bugs and I added some comments. All of thoses are in hard mode.

Mission 1 :
You can take down some of the trees (west entrance) to the "hidden" scarlet crusade base that you must destroy in the second part. I cleared them before ending the first part, but the quest did validated and completed the mission.

Mission 2 :
The red dragons are painful in hard. The game had to turn out in a full turtle/tower defense to reach any orc base.

Mission 2 & 3:
The starting towers have the Coil upgrade shown, but it's not available in the tech tree yet.

Mission 5 :
Drekthar and Garrosh have a bug in their pathfinding. They run around their bases and sometimes take the portal and goes directly back to their base. Sometimes, they do the long run in the creeps between their bases and Thrall's. I didn't killed all the creep to recrute them quick. In Hard, it's almost impossible to get out long enough to clear them.
Also, sometimes, the battlemaiden who come from the east side of Thrall's base, goes back up after hitting a few times or if the closest building is destroyed.

Mission 6 :
I found the Abomination (Grobo ? Forgot his name sorry), but it didn't close the quest. I had it in every fight (except the first base). He is god damn fun to have.

Mission 12 :
Lady Deathwisper have a trigger that spawn ennemies but doesn't stop until she dies. I went out her zone to heal, but when I came back the zone was overfilled with units.
The bases are mostly useless. The heroes are really powerfull and you get not much gold or lumber. At least not enough to truly create an army to fight with.
The first healing spell in Quel'Delar can't heal Sylvanas because she is categorized as undead.
When the blood queen mind control Lor'Themar, he just run away in a corner and probably cries until the orb is destroyed.

General points :
Ghoul are pretty much useless except for lumber. They are way too weak in hard mode. Even if archers are really strong, they got cleared fast and they are in the back.
Banshees are weak to the point that I simply don't make them anymore. The debuff is strong, but they get wrecked so fast from all the attacks.
Apothecary have powerfull skills, but since they don't auto cast anything, they are a bit hard to relieve on. The bolt could be weaken and with a long cooldown, but with auto-cast or the cure, but single target.
Val'kyr are a nice add, but since their reanimation target anything that dies, they revive worms from the abominations most of the time. The worms should be timed units which would make them not raisable.


The quality of your campaign is awesome. You should be REALLY proud of this.

Thanks a lot buddy. Take care

Hello, I have a black screen after the "Journey of the sunwell", does anyone has the same issue ?
Refer to VanAndro's post above. It's likely due to the incorrect game versions, so you need to follow the instructions to make this campaign playable.
My version of wc3 is 1.5.0 (2003) and the forsaken version is v2.0 ...
Your version is not correct. It's supposed to be the version for TFT executable, which uses the wrong version (1.5.0.0).
If you want to check your game version, you need to look at the bottom right corner of the screen when the main menu loads:
Game Version WC3.png

The same thing also happens for the description of Warcraft III.exe (Game.dll for older versions).
 
chapter two sir, got a bug, i cant play it
Check what version of Warcraft 3 you're on and then make sure its the correct one for the campaign as listed in the description :) and if not download the correct version of Warcraft 3

Completed this game. Pretty challenging and I very like it.

I have found some... bugs? In this game.

It is at where you reach the Icecrown Citadel, when you kill the first lord, he will just spam 'Bound by Bone' for the game, which makes it annoying and I can't read the dialog correctly.

And another one is also in this map, where you reach the "betrayal" of sylvanas, and have some talk, my units and the demon units would not be able to move or attack.

I have only expected these which makes it annoying for me to play. By the way, keep it up for this game, :thumbs_up:

Be sure to check the posts above, especially VanAndro's one! This will solve problems about playing custom campaigns on the wrong versions.
In short:
1.You need version 1.30 or higher to play this campaign.
2.To get the latest versions of WC3, click on the link that he provided (1.31.1 + Beta + Demo), go to "Game Files" section, and download the appropriate versions (must be 1.30 or 1.31). Make sure you start the game using the "Warcraft III.exe". The other way will auto-update the game to Reforged.
3.Download the campaign and place the w3n file in "Documents/Warcraft III/Campaigns".
4.If you still play this campaign on older versions (1.26), download either v1 or v2.1 from the link the original author provided.
5.If you still get problems, even your version is on 1.26 and the campaign is on older versions, reinstall the whole game again using the same download link (1.31.1. + Beta + Demo), but this time, look at the "Game Installers" section.

So I see Reforged has finally reintroduced custom campaigns! I gave it a try, gameplay-wise both of my campaigns seem to work fine on the most recent patch - on classic graphics that is. Mostly there just seem to be some aesthetic issues, such as broken loading screens, cameras in a slightly wrong place, audios that are too loud or quiet, etc.

I think it would be cool to do a compatibility update, just to fix some of these issues. I think it will also just make it simpler overall to have both campaigns properly compatible for the last patch, given RotBE and CotF were made on different patches, and people endlessly seem to be asking how to download a certain patch/why don't the campaigns work properly. Admittedly, the "please read" part for both campaigns doesn't have a whole lot of info, but still...

So yeah, I'll consider doing a compatibility update, but keep in mind that is specifically for classic graphics. I don't really care to do an update for Reforged graphics, and to be honest, I don't even own Reforged. Now, the problem is, I haven't opened the world editor since like 2019. I'll need to remember how it all works...
