This completes the remaking of (nearly every) entry of Joe's Chronicles, beginning with Joe's Quest and Mordork's Quest! These campaigns were reworked from the ground up, with new characters, new music, new vibes! I wanted to enhance the dreamy, ethereal nature of this entry with the music and its visuals, and I really hoped I achieved that. Anyway, thank you to those that have continued to support me in this mapping journey!

FAQ
1) Have all levels been remastered?
Yes, all levels have been edited and remastered.
2) Why does Deandra have a crush on Illidan? Because Illidan's the tall, brooding type, the complete opposite of his tree-hugging brother.
3) How did you go about remaking that infamous 'stealth level'? You're referring to the level where Deandra sneaks around an orc fortress where she constantly gets caught by wolves, right? Spoiler alert, but I basically completely scrapped the alarm mechanic, and streamlined the "stealth" system. I personally never liked how clunky the system was in the original.
4) Will you remake Joe's Quest 1.5? No plans, but I am considering incorporating elements from that chapter into a possible sequel if it ever pushes through.
5) Is that the soundtrack to Space Runaway Ideon? Yes! One of my favorite scores of the late Koichi Sugiyama.
6) Does this campaign have voice acting? Yes! Thanks to the tools provided by ElevenLabs!

Just great... I have the latest version of WCIII REFORGED, but can't play the latest versions of author's Remakes (except Mordork's Quest) — they just crash without any explanations 🤯
But I also have 1.27b WCIII...
Can't understand author's logic: if old buggy versions (GOLD, WOOD, BRONZE) are not to be upgraded — why doesn't he post all other versions!? Everyone could have chosen the most suitable one and enjoy 🤷
Other people playing on "reforged" do not seem to have issues playing this campaign. You might have a 3rd party mod, or maybe you have multiple versions of wc3 which are conflicting somehow.
Adding too many versions of a campaign to a map download would just confuse players, who just want to play the campaign and do not want to spend time sorting out which version of the campaign is the one they should play. Right now, it is clear Bronze is for old versions, while the campaign with "Remake" in the campaign name is for the latest version of wc3.

I have 2 computers and 2 independent WC — Classic WC III on the old one and Reforged, updated to the last patch on the newer one. Both have never been modified in any way.

Unfortunately I have no error messages describing the problems which other players had in this discussion above so I cannot provide possible issues causing my problem to have troubleshoot it accordingly🤷

That's why my proposition is to add 1.27b versions that once had already been included into a downloadable archive, had proper names, clearly distinguished from one another and a decent description so even a yokle could choose a proper version...

People have different issues, OS, capabilities so this proposition might sound reasonable and help author of the campaign to promote his product and increase his popularity even more. Decision is up to him anyway 😔
