Gnoll War: Prologue

[The Nightmare Book]

Strange that nobody still hasn't commented yet!

Right now I played that map, not finished but looking forward to do it.
And what I can say about everything I've saw:

• Gameplay is pretty smooth! I like that passion, but sometimes it fell extra-hard. If you insist, I would recommend to slightly tune kobold bandit squad and other few places, or even add difficulty selection before game start - someone want to play relaxed, but those moments can quickly turn all tables;
• Nice useage of cinematics - I can feel it, when we watched through spyglass on scout tower, or when I used torn map, etc;
• Elwynn Forest music - it's calming, but sometimes I felt that music is cycled and there's no other soundtracks at all. Maybe it's intended or not, but I don't count this as error - just remembered that moment;
• Quests. Most of them are look quite good for selected theme, but I think that fish wagon quest is bugged - when I tried to use circle near wagon, nothing has happen. Also nothing has happen when I destroyed wagon. Other quests works, it seems;
• Main Hero. It's long time when I saw map when you can get something from killing critters and this isn't junk. About hero at all? Well, I liked his "energy" concept, but I think that he lacks something - can't really tell what I want to expect from normal footman, but he felt for as "footman v2.0";

After all, it's surprisingly nice map, shame that nobody hasn't commented it - 79 downloads! Ppl, where are you?
I liked that map passion, and I'm looking forward to update my humble "review" after finishing map.

PS: If it's only prologue, do you wanna do an campaign about Gnoll War?

Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you like it so far.

I agree with your points, will try to fix bugs in my leisure time. Regarding the main hero, I'm aware of that and feel the same way, but was pretty fatigued lately and after the whole development process which was pretty messy at times, since it's my first map.

You can find a thread about the campaign here: [Campaign] - Gnoll War

 

[Achille]

This map is excellent, from the moment the cinematic started I was hooked. While acts of wanton violence ensued, the music gave it an almost mysterious an western tone just as the player is then introduced to Cedrik, wandering in alone from the forest road. The atmosphere created by this map using for the most part solely classic assets was quite intriguing.

What I found worked well far outweighed what didn't but there were a few hiccups:
-There are a number of grammatical errors scattered throughout cinematics, this would be a small concern normally but because I was so drawn towards the cinematics and characters these errors stood out.
-To The Nightmare Book's point about the Kobolds around the cave in the beginning, RNG can easily swing against you causing you to be nearly perm-bashed. In RPGs featuring a Single Playable Character, Bash is an incredibly powerful thing to come across especially so early. While you can attempt to kite the tunnelers and taskmaster around the cleric and the dog while you spam E to aoe down the Kobolds, it doesn't work reliably even with the boots of speed.

Conversely what worked well was abundant:
-Littered goods throughout the map ensure that exploration is rewarded, even just checking out the alcoves cut out between trees was fruitive.
-Alot of love was put into the cinematics, each one feels well-paced and driven.
-Looking at what went on under the hood was a pleasant surprise! The things I checked managed leaks, and had a proper flow to them, and your gui organization made everything easy to navigate (not that it should effect how well your map is experienced lol)
-Fog of war and map layout were managed at each point to give the player a greater sense of exploration, and having the character and the world react to one another were excellent. A good example of this would be travelling over the ridge and cedrik commenting on the murlocs and their catch below.
Overall this map was awesome to experience, and I enjoyed its delivery alot. This is excellent for a first map, and I am excited to see what comes next.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the playthrough.
It was encouraging to read your review from the creator's perspective

Just updated the map description with list of used assets. Hope the format is appropriate

Spoiler: comments

1. Aw man, no minimap!?
2. Defend takes mana but doesn't say it does.
3. Critical Swing and Shield Bash also don't mention values for the stuff they do.
4. I guess meat from bear cubs should give less healing.
5. The rock doesn't say how much time the stun lasts.
6. Cedrik the animal killer.
7. Man, even spider meat!? At least we don't need antidotes.
8. Smart, reading gnolls!? I mean, it's a risk anyway; the messenger could just bark the commands to those at the destination.
9. I guess the dog is hurt if it moves that much slower than an armoured human. Why force the dog to follow the footman?
10. You can't cook if your inventory is full. The cooking items in the bonfire should be runes/tomes instead. Also, you can't take more meat if your inventory is full and you already have some.
11. Not sure if intended but in the scene with the trees, one of the peasants was still cutting lumber and was killed.
12. The quest update (observation tower) should appear after the cinematic mode goes off.
13. If I found the flares in a crate near the tower, do I really need to get them from a shop ?
14. Loading Cedrik in the rowboat ended up with a model of him on the boat and him invulnerable and underwater near the boat. The boat can't unload him since there's no such ability but only Load remains.
15. Then, I move the boat with Cedrik on to the south where I found it and a quest finished and a cinematic scene started with him rowing somewhere. Basically, the map ended and I haven't even reached the shop with where I should have bought the flares.
16. Gnomish Cloaking Device's icon doesn't have active icon borders and looks like a passive ability. You can make the borders with: Button Manager v1.8.2
17. The spyglass and gnomish goggles have the same icon.
18. Not sure if it's a bug or something but I killed a rabbit with one of the militia troops and it dropped no meat.
19. The Rusty Key's icon looks like a green square on game pause. You can use the program linked above to make a DISBTN version of the icon if it doesn't have one.
20. If you have the key, you can release the gnome with any unit even if that unit doesn't have the key on.
21. Kind of lame that it's trial and error with the crates. What if you don't have an archer? You gotta save-load a several times.
22. I guess the needed flares were a special kind. Same thing with this item's icon as with the cloaking device.
23. The alchemist (or the quest) doesn't say how much of each resource is needed.
24. Alright if after you get the quest you pick the item stack you get a message but I got 6/5 and 7/5 for mushrooms and weeds and I picked them up again and got the message 7/5 and 8/5. Weird. I just had 5 of each. The message adds 1 each time I pick the item stack. So, yeah, the quest can't be finished.
25. Corn and Wheat's icons also don't have DISBTN versions.
26. There seems not to be much thing to do with gold. I suggest some strong items or tomes.
27. Every time you switch stance/form you get 0 mana.
28. Oh, you could add glow to the hero if you want: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
29. You can't trigger the quest if you bring the flares with a militia unit.
30. Going to Farmer Jerome who has a ! sign after the flares have been shot, nothing happens. Well, apparently you have to first go to the priest but the sign should appear afterwards.
31. Gold could be used to strengthen Westwind but there's nothing to buy apart from healing. Well, at least the Boots of Speed.
32. Some non-cinematic mode transmissions are lightning fast, especially those when talking to Jerome.
33. The bush blocks the way to Emerald. I assume there are some pathing blockers or doodads that should have been removed after talking to him. Alright, I had to find the random travelling commoner that was outside that zone.
34. The rowboat is moved near that place if you choose to give gold to the thieves.
35. Few hours training!?
36. The boat was moved in the cinematic scene after all preparations have been made.
37. Not sure if intended but the Stables isn't invulnerable.
38. Holy Nova doesn't say how much it heals.
39. Magicians, not medics, honestly, the way they heal. Also, could find representative models for them since they look like usual village women. On second though, they can't even do it in time, so they're not wizards, I retract my words.
40. Restart Triage doesn't work; the button appears after each click.
41. One villager remained in front of the archery targets during the siege after the heroes died. Also the women medics and others in the burning village where the gnolls are attacking the buildings. The alchemist was fine too.
42. Cedrik moves Slow in the last part of the map, for some reason.
43. You can still cross the bridge even if it was burnt.
44. You can go around places where the fixed camera ends if you move Cedrik there. The minimap can also be used.
45. If murlocs ensnare you, you lose. I had to change to crossbowman not to get netted. Actually, I also get the "you got caught" defeat message for no reason. So, I can't finish the mission. Well, I found a way around the murlocs and I didn't get that message anymore. However, the real issue still stands, the rowboat isn't where it should be because it was moved as mentioned above. At least I know what should happen next since I accidentally triggered this part way before even reaching the village.

It's a rather neat concept. You could go deeper into custom and creative gameplay. Even so, it's a really unique way of using usual Warcraft III material/gameplay mechanics.

Approved.

Approved.

Thank you for such an insightful reply. I took the notes
I see you exploited some things in this map, and to a few of them I'm surprised that they even happened. Thanks a lot of approval, I'm glad the map made it through your scrutinous quality check.

I'm still "in-between" things in my personal life and hope to improve many bugs in the future, when I will begin working on Chapter 1. Not sure when, but still hope to do so, as I remember it was a great and fun journey.
PS. I was aware there were some minor bugs, but was kinda burned out at the end, so decided to release the map as quickly as possible. Perhaps I should've found some people eager to playtest it pre-release.

 

[lichao001486]

Is the Gnoll race playable race.

 

[Mashira]

Is the Gnoll race playable race.

It's not, but there are ideas for certain episodes to control them. At the moment current concepts indicate that it's primarily a human campaign.

 

[krawg]

hope next version is comming soon very well made

 

[Karak]

This game has a ripping yarn as a story. I liked it.
I don't understand how the game ends. I guess there are two endings...
First, halfway through the game, he escapes the war before the conflict by getting on a boat.
The second one escapes by finding a way to escape towards the end of the war and by running away again.
Some questions:

1. The triage mission is very difficult, even cheat codes do not work to win this part. Isn't there a way to make this easier?
2. Was there a way to pass through the caves? I couldn't reach Murluc behind the cave.
3. Who was the murderer of the body we found on the road to the gnolls?
4. Will there be a continuation of this campaign? In the rest of the story, it is known that the human king wins this war.
5. Is there a thread in the game where I can learn about mysteries that I missed or couldn't find?

Hi Karak, glad you liked it. I like writing stories & worldbuild stuff that is faithful to the original story; expanding it in general. Gnoll War theme got me hooked back then, which resulted in me creating this map, and canon was lacking in many ways, in my opinion.
I was inactive for quite some time, and I didn't go back to creating stuff in WC3 Editor but got it on my radar.
To address your comment and answer questions, here are they are:

Spoiler: Answers

It is possible to bug the game and finish the game earlier as it is intended, in a way that was not meant to happen. I noticed that and tried my best to cover these holes, but players' curiosity always wins over and that, on the other hand, is a great thing.
The game should end with a short cinematic with Cedrik on a boat, swimming away from the gnolls, with the village on fire in the backgorund.

1. I playtested triage mission many times, it has some buggy moments, and as I remember bleeding peasants are randomly assigned to the bed locations, so you might have gotten more extreme variation as the first try. How many times you tried to complete this segment of the map? I guess the best way to balance this is to reduce the bleeding damage over time.
2. In this segment, as I remember, there is one path you should go to reach the end (cave exit). If you stumble upon murloc you are caught and gnolls catch you (I think, I'm right on this one, haven't played the map for a long time already) so you have to check another way out.
3. I think you are referring to the hidden escort quest? The murderer is the quest giver himself, if you explore certain chest before going back to him, the game will tell you that you've uncovered the mystery
4. I was hoping to create a campaign, I have written a story brief, characters, and levels to create with specific themes, etc. Of course, the ending would be accurate to the original story. And I will spoil you here - it was meant to be the same map as the prologue, maybe slightly changed, but with the burned down remains of human settlements and more gnoll structures and of course, the mighty Garfang himself
   It was quite grandiose and if you've ever heard of "The Fortress Fallacy", which is a mental phenomenon when you try to approach a large project, you might begin to understand why I kinda gave up on it.
5. You can open the map in the World Editor and look up the trivia yourself. I tried to put every mystery for the player to find, in the quest log. Also, the descriptions and folders are rather logic, so it should make it easier for you to dig in.

Besides these points, after the map's release when I was reading Hive members' feedback and even watched Jayborino play my map for a bit, I understood some of my design's errors. And these opinions are all very valuable to me.
I spent long hours before I delivered you this map because I wanted to give ya'll quality time. And if I manage to get back to it, the very first thing before continuing with the story will be to fix some of the errors made on this map.
I have a list of things to fix, there is some work to be done, and considering the map's size and the fact that the Editor is an obsolete piece of software it might take more time than I wish it could.

I might not be back at it yet, but it hovers over my mind and before my eyes when looking up stuff on this website from time to time, and admiring people's spirit and creativity here.
