Character saved from previous version are compatible with this version.However if you want to have access to new character you will have to reset character stats by click New game button.

I had to emergency fix the Buggy Army creator.Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you wishe to help :

If you played the game you may notice horrible custom icon with smudge abuse that hurt your eyes.Those are made by me.If you wishe to make a better quality icon I will gladly use them.

I'd need a cool looking custom loading screen as well.If you wishe to make one I will gladly use it as well.

first time replying

first time replying with a map before, but i just had to do it for this one. This map was very original and the idea is something I have never seen in a WC3 map before. That's something very hard to do these days. I played through the game with only one character so far (Kai) but I've played 2 others through the first two levels to see their abilities (arachna, and fenir?). Throughout the entire game I only got one fatal error, and that was from arachna on the end of the second level right after the character was saved. Other then that no errors or problems, and since it happened after the save, the error was a minor inconvenience that can be overlooked. It is a beta after all.

I noticed that you have to let the attack animations go through fully before performing the next piece of the combo. You should mention that in the opening tutorial and that would help people with having problems at first trying to pull off their first A - D combo and it not working. Also the game is very Dynasty Warriorish. I have always loved that game, but the one thing that kept it going was not the hack n slash, but the variety to the hack n slash.

The cut scenes in the beginning of every battle, if you scripted a few more of those in for the bosses you encounter each battle, maybe a plot twist or two from time to time like you did in the fisher village when help came, it would bring a little more spice and make the game more interesting. Reinforcements, battlements you have to fight against and tear down, maybe a siege requiring you to destroy blockades or tear down a tower, etc would give the game some variety to the "Charge in, kill, advance" formula you got going. Also, the enemies should be just as much of a "wow" as your heroes and allies. Give them some abilities, and the bosses some skills just like the hero scripted. It should be easier to give them the ability then the heroes.

All ideas to help you out. The game just needs a bit of variety added to it. otherwise this game is amazing so far. I would recommend you make more missions first and foremost over everything else though. No new characters, no new modes, just more missions. That is whats going to make or break your map right now, and until you focus on periodic mission updates its going to suffer from lack of re playability or pulling in people that don't often play betas. Trust me we have enough heroes to go through already missions is the priority.

As a beta, 5/5
As a game, 4/5 until more missions are up, and fatal errors are fixed
And for christ sake, you don't need more heroes o_O

Well one I agree with the ideas. It will start acting like a real dynasty warriors experince (Destroying Blockades-Ambushes-etc) which is a good game but u shud add like a hero (exp-Lu Bu) who is in certain parts of the game that is in the oppsite team and you have to fight him or something.

These again ideas and its your game-also u got a great game in the future when its complete.:smile:

Add an option that we can lock the camera to the chracter. And with turtles' first and third combo you can get over cliffs and.. everything.

Also, whats the point of having so many allies and enemies. My fps was below 5 on the panda fishing place.

@syltman: Yes i'm still working on it but won't update anytime soon.
I'm planning to add new characters, mission , minigame and new type of map wich is boss battle where you fight a boss that fight the same way of playable characters in 1v1.

Great to hear. Will you in the future upload the fighting system that Heroes of Genesia uses here on hive?

edit: Or upload it in anyway?

I never said I'll upload a fighting system.
Trigger I use in my campaign is not even MPI since it's singleplayer.
I just said I'll implement boss fight in this campaign.
I you need a fighting system there's a request forum.
 
It'd be more interesting if you could block, parry and/or evade attacks with one or few spells. I mean a spell that ist a combo. And the map is mostly about spamming your aoe combos... because there are mass units.

that's why I love this campaign . I really like games, where you only have to kill endless enemies with destructive aoe spells. :p

...The gameplay is AWESOME! And the abilities are insane too... Fix the typos and it will be perfect. 4/5

EDIT: Eh, you can go trough cliffs with Willy's first spell? Also, what's with the camera? Sometimes i cant move it or it stops.

I am wondering, is this campaign working with the 1.24 patch?

I have been playing it on the 1.24 patch so far and it worked out great.
However (when playing with the spider, I havent checked with the others anyway), on Hard difficulty (if that matters as well), after the lumber jack mini game, the game crashes by a fatal error. It does not load the next map either, so I guess there could be a sort of conflict perhaps, at the end of that game.

~Eccho~

Edit: You say it's unprotected:p Well, I couldn't even open it in my jngp;o

Thx for testing.
Difficulty doesn't matter (I forgot to disable it).
And I think fatal error isn't influenced by what character you play.
It always happens randomly at the end of a mission So I'm pretty sure It's because of game cache upon saving data.
Also it never happened that when game crashing at the end of the game it doesn't load next map.It always crashed after saving and showing next campaign button.Maybe it's because wc3 memory is exceeded dunno.

Great campaign! =D
But me as well got a crash. During the Lumberjack minigame. Ran around slashing down all trees and destroyed 63 of them I got my experience and poof! Fatal error.
The first and the second mission was kind of the same type so I'm looking forward to the next missions now!

One of the most entertaining campaigns I've played for WarCraft III. Only advice to improve this is add more levels and more characters to choose from! Other than that, great work. Would be nice to have an update with two or more additional maps to play through. The maps in the campaign right now are so small!

MAN AWESOME CAMPAIGN!!!

I read the whole topic... ( yeah, all posts :p)

and i know you read this other time but:

The game crashes many times, i tried and finished it with Arachna, Kaï, Po'Tarank, Dr.Frantz.

So a iguess isn't a character error. I noticed that the games crashes sometimes when i finish a mission that i already ended with the same character, anyway it occours randomly.


But i have to questions:
when the new version comes?
and
there will be an way of uses this version data on a most recent one? maybe an save/load system?

anyway keep working, this is one of best campaigns i played.

Here's the rundown.

Spelling/Grammar: 3/10-- Very bad, but I am getting at that you're French? Anyway, get someone to help you with that. Also, very vague and not descriptive enough.

Gameplay: 7/10-- Repetitive, at some points. The fighting system is very original but is kind of annoying, I felt like I was just button mashing A and D. Also, very hard to level at the beginning, because once you pull a mob, pretty much everyone on screen comes to you. But fun altogether.

Originality: 10/10-- Excellent idea and concept. Has a wonderful feel to it. If you could just polish up on the game overall, and you will have a 10/10 on everything. I am not going to go into the destructible environment because I could go for hours. All in all, one of the best things I've ever seen in Warcraft 3.

Bugs: 3 Problems-- Firsts, crashed once or twice out of my three playthroughs, with different characters that got up to level 20 --- altogether 5 1/2 playthroughs. Second, Arachna's second ability worked one out of five times. For some reason it would do the damage, but it wouldn't show the animation. Lastly, only one of the four special abilities of Rwolf's worked, and that was the third one.

Diversity: 6/10 The diversity of the characters were excellent! I loved how drastically different each character was. Although, I felt like some were more neglected then others. For example, Rwolf wasn't as polished or had as an original concept as Arachna. I felt like you just took Cleave from WoW and put it in Rwolf, which is the white one right? This whole time I've been referring to the white one. Anyway, an other thing which made diversity a 6 was missions. No side quests, or main quest for that matter. Everything was kill, kill, kill. You could make the whole campaign better by making a little better by given the player more than one option.

So, altogether here's the score.
26/40 --- So about a 68.5% Not bad, I would suggest this to people. It is a great campaign, it's just those little things that's giving this a 68.5% but it is still good, don't get me wrong. It just needs quite some polishing.

Why do we live to die?
Current Projects:
The Fall of Dalaran--72%
The Sands of Time--15%
??? (Name of campaign)--5%

There's this skill for Mr. (Something), that guy who looks like a Rat Miner, which needs the Numpad, I can't seem to get it to work even with Num Lock on, and I was using both the Numpad and the normal Numbers, is there any other way to get it to work...?

It's a tooltip I forgot to update use A and D key like any other character.

If you make the camera locked on the char, that would be enough for me... also i noticed that when you attack, not even hitting anything, all creeps around come to attack the char, and they will chase him until one of them dies, this sometimes piss me off because i need to recover, i end dead because of this. Nothing else that haven't been said here, so i would give a 8/10.

This was awesome. I really liked the fight system and with the music it felt like i was actually playing dynasty warriors... with a shark guy. But the point it, it was pretty unique and I enjoyed it. I got a bug though. I used my lvl 20 skill (Mr. Teeth) against the final boss of the fisherman village and I lost control of my shark guy. I couldn't move, attack, anything. I had used Mr. Teeth a few times before that but it didn't freeze my hero til the final boss there.

no ending and mindless attacking... hmm...

I love the custom animations and the part where the terrain can be destroyed. i hate the part where there's no ending. but the game's not finished yet right? 3 heroes are still unavailable. anyway, i got level 20 on the last mission on dr.ritz and it sucked. actually it was cool but the hammer only falls once which deals almost only the same damage as a missile.

one more thing, Mr. Shark's ulti is bugged. I got stucked when i used mr.teeth. and wtf, i got his ult at level 10, weird. too bad i have no screenshot. and it gets stucked when you use the skill again.

arachna's animations are l33t.
