Gnoll Campaign (Voice Acted)

Required Warcraft III Version
Warcraft III: Reforged, Patch 1.35.0 or later (SD graphics)

Installation Instructions

As of Warcraft III: Reforged, patch 1.35.0, you can install the campaign as follows:

Windows
  1. Download DwarfCampaign-v7.w3n from the Hive Workshop (using the big download button)
  2. Copy DwarfCampaign-v7.w3n to Documents\Warcraft III\Campaigns. If the Campaigns folder does not exist, you must create it.
macOS
  1. Download DwarfCampaign-v7.w3n from the Hive Workshop (using the big download button)
  2. Open Finder.
  3. Press and hold the OPTION/ALT key down, then go to the Finder menu in the top menu bar and open the "Go" menu. When you are holding the OPTION/ALT key down, the Library option will appear in the dropdown menu. Click "Library". Now you are in the Library folder.
  4. Open Application Support → Blizzard → Warcraft III.
  5. Create a "Campaigns" folder, if it does not exist.
  6. Copy DwarfCampaign-v7.w3n to the Campaigns folder.
Playing the Dwarf Campaign
  1. Start Warcraft III: Reforged.
  2. Select Single Player → Custom Campaign.
  3. Select Dwarf Campaign in the file menu.
  4. Click Play Campaign.
Selecting the Right Difficulty
Easy:
If you have been long time away from Warcraft III and you have not honed your skills to play the game lately, please choose the Easy difficulty.

Normal: If you know how the game functions, you are able to use hero abilities effectively, train a good mix of units, and create a good army, but you do not consider yourself as a super-good player, we recommend playing on the Normal difficulty.

Hard: If you are actually pretty good at the game, you can use hero and unit abilities to the maximum effect, you are able to micro units well, you know how to build an extremely effective army, and you know well what different abilities, items, and upgrades do, we recommend that you play on the Hard difficulty.

Very Hard: This difficulty is probably best used when two professional players are playing Chapter 3: Temple of the Old Gods together. It can also be chosen when single players want ultimate challenge.

SPECIAL! Playable as separate map files
You can download the Dwarf Campaign chapters as separate maps from dwarfcampaign.com:
- Chapter 1: Defenders of Dwarvenkind
- Chapter 2: City of the Seven Mithril Golems
- Chapter 3: Temple of the Old Gods (this chapter is also playable by two co-operative players online)

Dwarf Campaign (Campaign)

Reviews
Bob27: An excellent campaign, with a great story, gameplay and terrain. This would have to still be one of my favorite Warcraft III Campaigns. Approved.

I don't remember them myself, so they must be totally random.

I'm sorry for asking so many questions but i'm quite excited to hear about the chapter 4 and i'm replaying the Campaign again.I'm looking for all secrets/easter eggs and interesting things i could have missed.

I can't believe the Dwarf Campaign came out 10 years ago! We're old, aren't we? :eek: I still remember the first time I played it soon after its release and how impressed I was with it. Now I just (re)played the campaign and I have to say that I'm still impressed. In fact, I still think it's one of the BEST custom campaigns ever made. When you think about all the limitations custom campaign designers had in those times (when the campaign was made), that makes the Dwarf Campaign even more impressive and amazing today.

I am wondering though, will there ever be a sequel, since the story seems incomplete? Or a remake, since there are inumerable more possibilites to enhance the original campaign? :D

I'm really interested in what you are doing with Chapter Four of this Campaign.

Keep up the great work...<3
Really nice Campaign too and full of re-playable features too.

This campaign is like wine. The older it gets, the better it tastes.

By no means this is a perfect project, but then again - which one really is? This campaign is filled to the brim with creativity that was and continues to be both impressing and inspiring. Add to that a good, well written story and a very enjoyable gameplay experience... and there you have it - the Dwarf Campaign, a truly remarkable classic that holds its own against the test of time and contiues to be one of the best custom campaigns ever to be released for Warcraft 3.

Great concept for a campaign, it's definitely very unique in it's premise. Although the journey was a little convoluted at times, I had a lot of fun playing it all the way through the end.

The story was very interesting too, especially that whole gnoll backstory and whatnot.

I would love to play more but apparently the whole project was abandoned a long time ago. What a shame. :(

Thank You Tommi. As far as I know it is on development, right? I guess by the feedbacks you then will create the rest of "chapters" of the campaign. Btw, keep up the amazing work you and your team!

I found some kind of abuse. In mission,where you in dwarwen caves seeking for artifacts(and finding 7 mythril golems) there is a treasure room and a key to it in a room nearby. Dont kill the lvl 10 spirit dwarf,take the key. The abuse is that whenever you pick up the key,hostile to everyone spirit guards summon around you. I just turned paladin's immunity on and spawned a horde of spirits killing everyone except the boss by dropping and picking up the key.

With the hype from the Gnoll campaign, i replayed this one.

Funny like always, isn't nostagia factor just quality. Something that always bugs me if the upkeep cost of the heroes, depending of the map you will lose like 15 to 30 of food in heroes, even with the extra food on the Temple of the Old Gods, it just crush your army composition, because in the last map you'll need tanking from the brain golems or the armor golems, to deal with the boss enemies.

Another point is the distribution of items, The Jewelstones are an original way to add alien items, but some items in that map are for mele units, and our heroes are all ranged in that one xD.

Hi all,

Can someone please help? I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I can't get this campaign to work. I created a folder called "Campaigns" in my WC3 directory and moved the file there, but I don't see it under custom campaigns in the game.

Hi all I figured it out. FYI for anyone having problems playing this despite following the instructions.

I don't know if this is a recent change, but I found the proper "Campaigns" folder under the following path:

This PC -> Documents -> Warcraft III -> Campaigns

I copied the files here and it seems to work fine now.

We have released VOICE ACTED versions of Chapter 1: Defenders of Dwarvenkind and Chapter 2: City of the Seven Mithril Golems:
The voice acted version of Chapter 3: Temple of the Old Gods is coming in 2019.

The chapter 1 is actually a remastered version of the map, which was voiced in 2005. We have added a narrator voice and applied noise reduction to old voice files.
The voice actors in chapter 2 are different than in chapter 1, because naturally we could not find the same actors after 13 years.

Have a look at them and let us know what you think!

A great job, when you start designing is when you realize how difficult it is to create something of quality that people like. Without a doubt, and despite how old it is, it is one of the best jobs I have seen.

MOST EPIC CUSTOM CAMPAIGN AND EVEN BETTER STORY THAN WARCRAFT ITSELF IMO
...

Atleast better than this bullcrap we have today in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azerite

edit: I decided to replay the campaign with voiced dialogs. I am now finish with the first chapter:
The voice actors are well done! Feels like they got paid to do it.
Other than that I find the ending from chapter 1 a bit easy on "very hard".
The demons don't even come close to the vault and I personally don't like having too much ressources.
Chapter 2: As in Chapter 1 some speech lines are not voiced at all.
Might be the patch though. Dunno why but most of the times I don't hear the voices from the actors.. Only if I load it works and then it doesn't anymore. Anyway Chapter 2 is by far my favorite map!! I love everything about it. The map, the gnoll base, the library etc. ^^. I really enjoy picking up the books when you come close enough to a bookshelf. I completed Chapter 2 and I'm just impressed by the work done overall. Good job!
