v great campaign! 10/10

 

[RedSword]

Played campaingn, nothing special about it, interesting ladder games change (simplier priest/knight/archer) building, but I only played 3 map and found 4 bug/small error in only the 3rd one (I got 10k random resource with no reason and my wood kept increasing a lot, the pally was invisible during cinematics (cloak item) and was talking/being talk, the medkiv guy attacked me right after I talk to him (after the cinematic, but he was invincible and behind a big woodbranch), and the Archmage made the teleportation move but didn't teleport).

Rated "Ok", this campaign need to be updated.

 

[High-Elven Prince]

Hmm, decent campaign, but Luthien improved his campaign making skills vastly for The Last Druid. Compared to that amazing campaign, this one is only average. I'll give it an 8/10.

 

[Blackmorsel]

A good, solid campaign. It was good to play as the humans in the first war. I think there could have been a bit more variety in quests, but overall quite consistent.
The last druid was a lot better, I find.

 

[Hovnival]

Well there is a story error : Khadgar is old and medivh is evil in book is it medivh makes khadgar old and then he is killed by khadgar then medivh ressurects but normal not mad ( he never was mad just it was Sargeras in his body )

 

[takakenji]

cool map

 

[timothylaohoo]

i found a bug in the stage with returning the book thing... how come i can only find 3 items to return and the fourth is not in the map??

Attention

ATTENTION EVERYONE.

This is NOT the correct version of the Fall of the Lion campaign. This is just an unauthorized mod created by some guy that altered a few models and broke a few things.

The REAL campaign by Luthien is found at his personal site (http://fallofthelion.tripod.com/). His other elf-campaign map is there too.

The real campaign has none of the problems you guys are talking about...Khadgar's hair isn't white, the maps are all updated and glitch-free, and the campaign's final level is actually included.

I played through this fake version to the end, so I know what I'm talking about. As far as finding the fourth elven artifact, it's not bugged. Take a look around for a suspicious sheep.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Hey Darkness Squall, even Herogod is imitating, his campaign is good... but my question is: Do Imitating bad?

 

[Darkness_Squall]

^Imitating is one thing. Herogod stole someone else's campaign, changed a couple of units, and slapped his name on it. Nowhere does it give credit to the original mapmaker, Luthien. That's not imitation, it's theft.

As far as whether it's bad, well, this version has bugs and the original doesn't. That speaks for itself.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Yes, it's buggy but the terrain is much good than the original "Fall of the Lion" campaign.

 

[Darkness_Squall]

It doesn't matter if you think the terrain is better. How would you feel if you wrote an entire book, and then someone copied your book, changed the cover art, and then slapped their name on it, taking all the credit for your hard work?

 

[Ecrolls]

Why is uther an elf? =(

 

[jocacar]

Just WOW 5/5

 

[Pr0blemBro]

 

[Cioco]

WARNING: THIS IS NOT THE REAL CAMPAIGN! THIS IS A FAKE!

I just don't understand why don't you guys change the campaign? This is NOT the real campaign. This is some altered version by someone else. PLEASE change it. I played this shit 'til the last mission and it made me puke. For real. This dude altered the campaign and then wrote his name there.

THIS IS THE REAL CAMPAIGN:
Fall of the Lion

 

[deepstrasz]

What's the point of the story? I've no idea. It's a mix of the campaign Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and some of its manual information. There were three heroes implicated but none of them got any real development. At first I thought this was going to be about Uther and it could have proved to be interesting.

lev1:
-Uther is a blond elf
-the orc group that comes to the town from town to town spawns out of nowhere; the area is surrounded by trees, there's no road out of the map borders
-when the player engages that group, the townsfolk militia comes to help the player and it doesn't matter how far the orc group is from the town
-well, tough luck for finding the optional quest as the main quest ended with one group of orcs coming to town

lev2:
-Uther's hero glow is red now...
-because of the barricades the Ogres can only attack one at a time
-the whole first main quest description does not fit in
-the prisoners didn't look like they were since 20 months there
-this level is too short, don't even have time to feel it

lev3:
-Lothar already eager to help? He should look like a stick with his teeth fallen about now
-the Ballista shoots a glaive instead of a big arrow
-the orc Shrine looks the same as the Warlock Temple
-there's a Doom Guard in front of a ramp to somewhere that belongs to Medivh and nobody asks or says anything about that
-too many Gold Mines that no one will use anyway
-Khadgar supposedly teleported but he was still there

lev4:
-Conjurers have the portrait of Jaina
-Alonsus could have not been invulnerable to make it more interesting
-Aelir isn't special at all. He is even weaker than a normal Priest
-quite unreal to capture all Conjurers since they went in different directions; some of them would have surely escaped somewhere safe; they didn't even look like they ran but just hid in the nearby woods waiting...
-the player must be careful what he puts in Faol's inventory not just because he might not be able to get the items back but because he may not be able to complete the quest
-another level that the player can barely breath in

lev5:
-saving Decard Cain...
-the orcs would be able to learn human magic secrets in a matter of days?
-funny thing: Uther talks like the Paladin and Lothar like Uther
-saving the prisoners leads to the south gate which leads to the orc main base; killing their leader will result in an instant victory without the need of returning to the Town Hall to use it

interlude:
-the part with Aegwynn was just useless and unnecessary; she just came to tell them what they've already known as she could not help them with anything...

lev6:
-the melee creatures behind the prison doors can be attacked by the ranged mage and his elementals
-no hints regarding the library key; it's just not fun; it was very easy to get the book too...
-Finger of Death costs no mana
-I suggest an item instead of a summoned unit for the Marble Statue
-Garona's part is pretty much wait and cast Finger of Death...
-why would only Garona be an easy target for Medhiv?
-Blizzard has a weak effect on Medhiv's Skeletons
-this level could have been the best of them all with puzzles and gameplay RPG variety but...

 

[Regeneration]

Not that bad actually but it's way too easy. Chapter 1 is also unecessary too long.
Orcs doesn't even attack the villagers and instead the focus the soldier units..wtf? Even if the villagers stand right in front of them.

Chapter 2: I didn't even found the paladin. I just killed an ogre boss and he dropped tome of divinity. Mission Done. What?

Sorry but I'm not motivated to continue playing. 2/5*

 

[STEVENS0N]

Story seemed to be lacking and i dropped it after several chapters

 

[Shellshock]

Played the original campaign instead of this *edit* so my review is the link actually.

I have to agree its surprisingly easy but annoying especially the last mission. For some reason you can make a base but not revive heroes?

The last mission is literally ridicolous forcing you to go amongst this tight terrain repeatedly trying to defend against the orcs so you men can follow through. I mean this campaign was pretty weak but it was also pretty fun.

I did like the series but again like many it lacks polish (this one a bit more than normal)

Overall 2/5

 

[Abeto]

Even tho the campaign has a lot of aspects to improve im a sucker for pre-Warcraft III Lore so 4/5.

 

[Symphoneum]

Tried this out with the Quenching mod custom campaign feature with Reforged graphics and it really holds up well!

 

[dafirus]

Nice Mod campaign!! I´ll download now!! Hope to work on W3 Re-Forged with classic graf!!

 

[dafirus]

Guys... This is Uther ?! "Uther of Northshire (Servant of the Light) - Before he took up the sword and became the first of the Paladins, Uther was a simple Cleric, a man of peace and faith." This Uther ?! Who will become Uther The LightBringer?! It definitely has the wrong model... Maybe because it was made a long time ago and now I know and have seen that there are excellent models made here. Is it possible to replace them here in the campaign mod?! Is there any tutorial to do this?? Or can someone teach me?? If it works, I'll put the new version here myself to make this campaign mod even more perfect than it already is.

 

[dafirus]

Yeah... looks like nobody cares...

 

[Fyar]

Was somewhat of a campaign. The terrain was good but the campaign was very short. but as people are saying this is not the original version so..

 

[Runic Cat]

The campaign is good, but it as a lot of bugs and the last level is very unfair.

Notes:
-Some chapters don't unlock properly.
-In the chapter Three, you start gaining resources out of nowhere.
--In the same chapter Khagdar doesn't disappear after teleporting.
-In chapter five the game says to return a peasant to get control of town hall and conjurers tower, but that same tower is destroyed in the intro and can't be rebuilt.
--You can complete this chapter with your starting units and heroes.
---Also this is the last chapter where you control Uther.
-The Garona section of the last level is unfair and impossible to complete without cheats unless you know what units hold the keys beforehand.
--The Medivh fight is also pretty bad, you can't get to him because he is protected by an unbreakable door, so only Khagdar can damage him, yet Medivh does far too much damage and the infinite spawning skeletons are hard to kill without strong area damage, this fight could have been doable if there was some healing.

Those issues might be related to the game version. This campaign is quite old. There are quite a few things that were broken with the latest patch.
As for the "missing chapters" problem, you can always solve this bug by manually editing the campaign file through World Editor and making all chapters always visible, provided that campaign is unprotected.

I'm curious if the same bugs still appear in the original version linked in the thread's description.
Actually, gonna just post the page: Fall of the Lion

Although I have still to finish the last level, (which for some reason it is not included in this version of the campaign), I haven't found any bugs playing the original version and the Garona section is slightly easier, but the terrain is not the best.

 

[Fyar]

I have now replayed the campaign via the original site it was posted. The biggest difference is the terrain, but the one here has lots of bugs. Chapter 6 is also a bit more different.
There's a chapter that's not include in hive, Exodus. It's on the original page and the chapter is actually very decent with good story telling. It is also somewhat hard. If the original campaign was combined with the terrain from here, it would have been a much better campaign. It's still a great story, though.

 

[Teuthex]

Tried this one, but there were invulnerable units that I needed to kill for the main quest in chapter 4. The terrain was pretty bad anyway, lots of awkward bottlenecks, and the campaign overall was simplistic. Nice to have it preserved but I don't recommend playing it today.

I recommend you his other campagins "The last Druid" very fun and unique
Also, this campaign has been "stolen" I think and the terrain has been remade. The original is on his site

So it was actually the opposite problem -- I was playing the original on his site. I've played up to the spot I had to stop in the Hive version now and it's actually playable -- improved terrain and many glitches fixed. "Stolen" or not I would recommend the version hosted here if people want to play it today.

I'll come back with a proper review once I finish it, but I'll change my rating from 2 stars to 3 in the meantime.

edit: I meant to quote Fyar's post in my reply but it didn't work. Trying to it edit it in? edit2: Yes, good, fixed.

edit2: Finished the Hive-hosted version. Given it lacks the last mission, I'm back to a 2/5

 

[WC3Wonderer]

Сhapters of varying quality. Some chapters are very good. Others are very bad. Bad text. A lot of towers. Feels like some chapters are not finished.

It works now and then. Downloaded the file to be safe in case it really won't be working anymore.

 

[Mahell]

Good campaign.(played both - edited and original)
