Early Phase

[SoyMante]

Hello everyone! I'm the creator and current developer of Legacy of the Dwarves. The campaign is currently in the early stages of development. The general script and mission structure are finished; all that's left is to create the missions! At the moment, two playable missions and two cinematics are complete. I'll update the campaign's progress periodically, and I'll announce release dates when they're available.

Thanks in advance to anyone interested! - SoyMante

Hi! I'm currently on the lookout for adaptations of Warcraft lore into campaigns

When you say "faithful to the lore," does that mean:

A) this will tell some kind of specific stories from the lore

Or, does it just mean:

B) it doesn't totally contradict the lore with stuff like how Magni was always secretly in love with Arthas and so disguised himself as his brother Muradin so that he could spend more time with him and...

?

I might play it either way, but since lately I've been trying to fill in my knowledge of the lore (as it currently is...hurray for retcons! /s), I'm just wondering because I'm particularly interested in playing through some type A campaigns soon!

Definitely Option A.

My campaign doesn't just follow an invented narrative. While some creative liberty is necessary to translate the events of WoW Classic into an RTS format, this creativity is strictly guided by canonical events from the Classic questlines and official media, such as the 'Through the Dark Mirror' comic, which covers the crucial meeting between Magni and Varian at the Thandol Span.

Most of the 'invented' parts are simply there to fill the void left by the nameless adventurers from the MMO, replacing them with organized armies or established protagonists to fit the RTS scale. It isn't a 1:1 recreation of the WoW gameplay—as that wouldn't work in Warcraft III—but it is a faithful adaptation that follows the timeline of events while adding the necessary strategy elements.

There won't be any inventions that lack logical canon sense or that don't contribute meaningfully to the overarching story. I hope this helps you dive deeper into the lore!

I personally have never seen a campaign where the main focus was on dwarves. One of the most badass races in Warcraft, yet very underrated and now seeing a campaign of this quality makes me really excited to play it. I wish you the best of luck!

Looking forward to playing and recording it for my humble YouTube channel
