Demon Campaign

[Karak]

• Adding more lore references from the Warcraft universe could deepen the storyline.
• The AI voice acting felt unnatural in some places.
• Some voice lines weren’t working, disrupting the flow of the game.
• Using Reforged models for graphics would make the visuals more impactful.
• The final map was quite large; the addition of the zeppelin helped reduce travel distance.
• The inclusion of a different race and mechanics added a refreshing element to the gameplay.

Hi, I played on the latest version, here are some thoughts:

Spoiler: THOUGHTS

~Negatives:

- The AI voices are bad. The only decent AI voice is of the main character, and even some of his dialogues were a bit rough by the end.

- Demon skill passive is bugged, the crit isn't working, only evasion does. (it works in Chapter II somehow)

- Music stops at random parts then starts again for a few secs then it stops again. (This happens in every Chapter)

- I can't buy pot of healing from the shop cuz it requires tier 2 or tier 3.

- In Chapter II the Player is blue and the enemy humans are also blue, there should never be 2 sides that are enemies having the same color unless 1 group of the same faction rebels.

- Not sure if is intended but when I build a building with a puppet and there are other puppets nearby they all die.

- Whenever I change the stance from catapult to static cannon this happens:

Spoiler

- Killed the entire enemy bases and nothing happened... (Chapter 3)

- The cinematics are a little rough and could be worked on a little bit more to make them feel more interesting

- Oh yeah almost forgot, I see you are not a native English speaker so I suggest using some tools to help you with the dialogue writing, I suggest using Grammarly, it's free and is great.


~Positives:

- I like the Imp model.

- Hero has fast-moving speed, except the second hero and third.

- Hero has Q W E R hotkeys for spells, good

- The quests and side-quests weren't bad, it's just that they were super basic, I liked the ones in Chapter 3 I guess.


Overall the potential is there, but this is super basic and full of bugs.

Spoiler: THOUGHTS

~Negatives:

- The AI voices are bad. The only decent AI voice is of the main character, and even some of his dialogues were a bit rough by the end. I HAVE TO SAVE TIME AND BUY OR SUSCRIBE TO SOME GOOD AI´S VOICE SYSTEM, I WILL DO A COMPLETE REWORK ONCE IM DONE. BUT SO FAR I HAVE IMPROVED THEM QUITE A LOT IN THIS VERSION.

- Demon skill passive is bugged, the crit isn't working, only evasion does. (it works in Chapter II somehow) IT´S NOT BUGGED (SUPER CHECKED), YOU WERE JUST UNLUCKY, SINCE ITS A LOW PERCENTAGE (ITS QUITE GOOD ANYWAYS)

- Music stops at random parts then starts again for a few secs then it stops again. (This happens in every Chapter) I LIKE IT THAT WAY

- I can't buy pot of healing from the shop cuz it requires tier 2 or tier 3. MISSION SIAD YOU CAN GET USED TO THE SHOP, IT WAS INTENTIONAL, SO THAT YOU KNOW DEMON´S RACE HAS HEAL POT FOR T2.

- In Chapter II the Player is blue and the enemy humans are also blue, there should never be 2 sides that are enemies having the same color unless 1 group of the same faction rebels. FIXED FOR THE 5TH MAP LAUNCHED VERSION, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE COLORS YOU SEE IN THE EDITOR ARE NOT THE ONES YOU SEE WHEN YOU PLAY (DEMONS ARE IN EDITOR, THE RED)

- Not sure if is intended but when I build a building with a puppet and there are other puppets nearby they all die. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY PART OF THE RACE MECHANICS

- Whenever I change the stance from catapult to static cannon this happens: I KNOW I AM WELL AWARE BUT I WILL FIX IT SOME TIME ONCE IM DONE WITH EPISODE 5.

Spoiler

- Killed the entire enemy bases and nothing happened... (Chapter 3) WHY SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN? IT WASN´T A MISSION OBJETIVE

- The cinematics are a little rough and could be worked on a little bit more to make them feel more interesting I THINK THEY ARE FINE, NOT VERY LONG BUT THEY EXPLAIN ENOUGH

- Oh yeah almost forgot, I see you are not a native English speaker so I suggest using some tools to help you with the dialogue writing, I suggest using Grammarly, it's free and is great. DID YOU DETECT ANY TYPE O?

More and more lore references keep being added as the story moves on.
AI voices improved now but when im done with chapters ill buy an expensive ai voice to rework it all.
Turns out that voices break on their own sometimes if you edit an old map, but i think this version has all of them running.
ALmost anybody plaus reforged , you have my campaign "Animals Rebellion" for reforged graphs.
I liked to include big maps, so that it´s not always the same.
It´s my intention to include a 0,5 or 0,7 new race (short of adaptation of an old one) apart from the demons one, later on in the campaign.

This is simply the best custom campaign ever made.

Are you saying that of your own campaign?

1. Most icons are green during F10/game pause as they either don't have a DISBTN imported or were not properly imported. Complete Icon Tutorial - All About Icons
2. Units selected during cinematic mode.
3. Aiding humans for the lols. Orcs calling them undead instead of demons. Stuff like this kills any seriousness or sense of the story.
4. Puppets train in doubles. The other one is considered a different unit when selecting them all.
5. Pretty annoying linearity with the rock chunk blockades opening sequentially.
6. Some neutral camps don't attack even when you get super close. You have to attack first.
7. The attacking elves are also blue as your faction.
8. Some transmissions run too fast in the scene with the centaur Khan.
9. Aura of Regenerating Wounds should look passive. Could be done with: Button Manager v1.8.2 Similarly with Illness Spit, it should look active.
10. Some enemy player names are invisible while others are Computer (normal) rather than a specific faction name.
11. For some instance Durnholde Keep Heart is not visible, a shadow only. OK, attacking ground with siege weapons worked although they continued attacking during the ending scene and hit the hero. The chapter didn't continue with the next, the custom campaign menu being loaded instead.
12. Not sure if a bug: chapter five starts with no heroes after the intro and moving units near the wolf riders does nothing.

Overall, a niceish campaign, which isn't finished but has some thought put into the faction and the story (I guess).

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Both 1.31 and 1.36 can not open this map

 

[Ravager16829]

Both 1.31 and 1.36 can not open this map

Check deepstrasz's post above. The campaign file states to use 2.0. patch, NOT 1.31 or 1.36 patches.

Shouldn't demon deal chaos type damage?
