First Human Book of Arkain (Patch 1.29.2 or newer!)

[DD Mikasa]

Ehm,so you drop the 2nd Book Series or just need time to "enhance" the First one?
Because I can say that the 2nd will be awesome

According to Shar the project is dead so that means no second book

 

[Shar Dundred]

New version released.

Includes several fixes, nothing special.
No "real" Changelog because I cannot remember everything I have done myself.

Hello, I've decided to register here just to post on this topic;
The campaign is *fAbuLouS* if I may say, though I encountered a few issues.
Thanks to forumers here, my problems with chapter 5 and 9 are no more, though one still buggs me: it's the final chapter.
I simply can't complete is without cheats.. I get 4 heroes, yes, but the odds in the battle hugely favor the bad guys. I mean their troops have everything upgraded to max, plus their units are much stronger.
I usually rush to capture the two buildings and then split the heroes, two on each front to try and defend allies. But even when cheated gold, my allies still get owned hard even with full upgrades.
Plus, the red ally is 100% idle.
Not sure if my green base should be active but it isnt either.

Welcome to Arkain Univers sunshine...There are some guides(on how to beat those levels) writen by me and kaskrin in this thread but you have to search each page one by one cuz i cant't remember in what page i posted it.

 

[Daffa]

The last ch needs a little trick to deal with. I don't know if red will always idle regardless of choice.

Also, old guide are outdated for the last ch, they're irrelevant now.

 

[Mr.Tic]

No worries,I've read all the pages here and am familiar with tips for 5 and 9

Just curious about the last one, I was playing on easy the first time through, no idea how difficult it is on hard.. must be brutal.

Btw my fav hero is Blen a nice hero to have in battles, really helps to make a noob army slay demons better

 

[Daffa]

You need to research the special upgrade first, it's the tip scale for the war in the last chapter.
Avoid death for all hero at all cost, ensuring your money earning goes smoothly.

 

[DarkSword123]

hell this campaign is amazing it's awesome this is like a blizzard campaign but with bad terrain lol but that's doesn't affect the gameplay at all this is an amazing campaign and i enjoy it let's hope everyone else enjoy it aswell

 

[DD Mikasa]

this is like a blizzard campaign

Dont let Shar see that...He hates blizzard.

 

[Shar Dundred]

He hates blizzard.

Really? I did not know that.

I dislike everything related to the WarCraft lore from WarCraft III on, I don't hate
or dislike the company Blizzard in any way.
Actually, Blizzard is one of the few companies left that has my trust to create
good RTS games - despite the fact that I think they made many mistakes with
WarCraft lore.

That is absolutely off topic, though.

Help!

Guys I have problems for downloading custom campaign pls help.It says that Just another warcraft 3 map I dont know whats wrong with it so please help!

 

[Mr.Tic]

Guys I have problems for downloading custom campaign pls help.It says that Just another warcraft 3 map I dont know whats wrong with it so please help!

I had this problem, and most likely your download was not completed. To be able to download full file I'd say use Mozilla Firefox, and when the download stops, just press the button to continue. And do this until it is truly finished.
You can check file size that you downloaded and it must be same as on the site (next to "Download button").
Chrome can't continue downloads like that, this is what I noticed while resolving my problem.

If the partial download isn't the problem then I have no idea. :/

 

[Holy Fool Sehrael]

Don't take it as offense since the story is great, but they terrain kinda... sucks. It's all empty, no variations, no decorations (even at the elven throne room, I mean... they swim in glitter, normally ^^) I also lost motivation because they maps are not my playstyle. I played until chapter 8, so almost halfway done and the story so far is very good, but ugh... my eyes ^^ I still want to rate it 3,75/5.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Version 2.03 released

Version 2.03

Chapter One:

This campaign resembles Warcraft III campaigns but with more emphasis on RTS and slightly bigger battles. It's not short at all, missions can take around an hour. Many units, buildings, and abilities are basically customized versions of default units, buildings, and abilities, but it helps add some familiarity and ease in getting used to this campaign. It isn't only build an army and fight, there numerous side quests that are fun tasks including catching that damn emissary! The AI was really fun to fight against and fight along with, I had no problems with them. Story wise, it's quite interesting! I've only played three chapters plus the prologue, but so far the dialogue has minimal grammar and spelling mistakes (besides a few out of place commas) and they capture the players attention. It is a little funny to see words like whatever, moron, and totally in this medieval themed campaign. Overall, you've put together polished blizzard themed gameplay with your own twist, gameplay and story wise. 27/30 ​ Terrain & Aesthetics: The terrain isn't anything special in this map. The pathways looked great as they complemented the environments around it, but there are a few plain areas that can use a little more tile mixing and a little more height leveling. Cliff usage was nicely executed, it doesn't look excessive and out of place. The map doesn't look scarce, there are a few doodads and decorations across the entirety of the maps. The cinematics aren't decorative enough, at least make them look prettier than the regular maps. 13/20 ​ VERDICT The only way a map can be approved is if it follows the map submission rules that apply to the map type. - All rules followed, map approved! ​ NOTES Feel free to contact me about this review on this map page OR message me about anything.

[I love war III]

Oh, the firt time, Thank you a lot, i really love this series,
Legends of Arkain book. Nice work! Good job man

 

[xsarq]

I just finished playing this campaing. I must say it was quite the challange!

Awesome work, I especially loved the choice system.

 

[Shar Dundred]

A new age has begun!

 

[Daywolf]

Finally got around to play through this, I got to say this has to be one of the best custom campaigns out there. The story was great and is interesting, same goes for the characters and settings. Loved the new units and the models for them, overall very enjoyable and the fact I can see that so much effort/love was put into this campaign is outstanding.

I already can't wait for the second series :3, good luck with the second series and I hope more people discover these campaigns as you guys deserve all the support for making them.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Thank you!

 

[ozan]

hey people after the secret chapter and the epilogue of retreat, I cant continue, it shows like the campaign ended, can someone help me out?

 

[Daffa]

After the epilogue, you need to download the second book to continue.

 

[ozan]

you are my favourite mage in the history is medival ages xD thank you man

 

[ozan]

history of medieval ages sorry stupid keyboard

 

[ozan]

even in the second book, the final battle against the demon forces is not present? Do I lack some part of the campaign or is it not released yet?

 

[Kasrkin]

The campaign isn't finished yet.

 

[lesnarpower12]

I believe that the terror of the old or the bleeding maps are two dificult to beat with nine units and three heros.
i suggest than if you choose gardon you should add and a small base that will probably be controlled the player or the ironfist [if the base is controlled by the ironfist then make it like they will attack every netural or demon or forgoten that stands in their way to the corrupted fountain .]
when the player will have to kill the leader of the forgoten you its not nesecery to still have that base attaking them ,[same goes on for the bleeding map]

pls reply soon

 

[lesnarpower12]

i dont like the fact that you dont have us a base in betrayal map
NO FAIR

I disagree.

 

[lesnarpower12]

ok the first book doesnt look too dificult but what about the second one ???
i would apreciate if only that time you allow to train elite because : 1] the imperator is too powerful for my irofist units

 

[Branden2123]

Y'all need to learn to enjoy the difficulty of the campaigns. If anything, I say make them harder and even more challenging.

 

[Anaxie]

They are

Karskin mode is planned for the future

 

[Shar Dundred]

Absolutely, Kasrkin Mode is still on the schedule.

 

[Kasrkin]

Everything used to be a lot more challenging for the first human book but most of it was nerfed.

 

[Branden2123]

I am looking forward to Kasrkin mode quite a bit. I've been delaying my replay of the campaigns until it comes out. How much harder was it prior to the nerfs?

 

[Kasrkin]

I used to rage quite hard at some of the missions but now they're easy going for the most part.

 

[Branden2123]

It must have been a hell of a time, I am jealous you got to experience the difficulty.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Version 2.04

- First preparations for an upcoming update

 

[Branden2123]

Any chance it's Kasrkin mode?

 

[Lord Alyx]

I just finished playing this a day ago and I gotta say it is really well made,

Spoiler: click to open

especially how you actually get a choice on whose side you fight on, that's really awesome

Ye, it's one of the awesome things about this campaign, but if you thought this was hard wait til you play the 2nd book

 

[Darth Manu]

Does anyone beated level 5 on hard? It seems impossibel

 

[Piratemonkey]

I am loving campaign so far only thing is gardon just seems too strong specially with the fact that his ulti aura stacks with command aura from blen or items

2 more things so I dont forget. First I wasnt a fan of how your abils are auto chosen for you when you get most of the heroes and 2nd I wish after I had absorbed the shard i would have been able to change her abils or it was more than just 1 that changes

Also for 5 I did it on normal but my strat might work on hard so idk if you wanna try it though it was gay and hilarious. I just massed the flying magic immune and targetted down all towers and then raxxes then i slowly advanced and took down the castles and from there it just gets easier

 

[Lord Siler]

I used to think chapter 5 of this book was hard, then I played chapter 4 of the next human book....

 

[Percival Fallas]

Excellent Work, I wish you could make some more about Aedale she is the most interesting Character, though things should move towards Humor with her instead of the Grim focus of Gordon Bloodclaw, to make a balance of Noir and the absurd that happens in a war, she has a lot of potential.

 

[luispereira]

good maps m8 but they are EXTREMELY HARD on hard difficulty

 

[Heimgri123]

Has it been confirmed if the unknown green human faction were demon worshippers or secret agents? They can be found in the same level as where you kill Grael the Hunter, and can free Lady Aedale.

do not destroy them .

 

[Heimgri123]

Okey, but is there info on who they are(and why we shouldn't destroy them)? I mainly asked who they were because i'm quite curious.

if you wish to learn who they are you should destroy them but their identity will be revealed in the next book
