Lordaeron's Destiny

Footman16 Presents
lordaerons-destiny-png.421108

An Alliance Campaign

The Second Campaign in the Tales of the Alliance and sequel to Lordaeron's Legacy (It is not necessary to play Lordaeron's Legacy to follow the story)


Made for Version 1.31
Now Fully Voice-Acted by the power of AI!



The Setting
During the period of time known as the Cataclysm, Azeroth was shaken when Neltharion now known as Deathwing awakened and reshaped the continents. During this time, the Alliance and Horde went to war again due to the aggressions of the Horde's Warchief Garrosh Hellscream and the leader of the Alliance, the King of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn. Shortly before the Cataclysm occurred, an exiled Noble from Lordaeron had retaken Durnholde Keep and its surrounding area. After achieving this he declared himself de facto King of Lordaeron. In this period of great unrest there are many heroes and villains trying to survive, claim power or just do what they believe is right.

The Characters

Lord Candor was once a prominent Lordaeron Noble who ruled his lands sternly but fairly with an unyielding loyalty to his people and the Kingdom of Lordaeron itself. After retaking a slice of the former Kingdom he has now styled himself as King Candor, a move which has proven unpopular with many in the Alliance.

Commander Istan is a decorated officer in Stormwind's Royal Army. The son of a Knight and Mage he has travelled Azeroth extensively and embodies much of the spirit of the Alliance. Whilst some might fight him lacking in seriousness, his flexibility has proven useful in battle.

The Warmages of the Kirin Tor are among some of the most powerful on Azeroth and Pyraelus Buren is no exception. Were it not for his eccentric personality he would be a contender for the Council of Six, nevertheless his penchant for destructive magics make him a force to be reckoned with.
Alongside these three main heroes are many side characters with many based on characters from WoW itself such as Admiral Tarlen Aubrey, Thassarian and Koltira Deathweaver.

The Campaign's Features
The Campaign has 10 playable missions, an intro, an epilogue and 2 interludes. The cinematics are skippable as well as a functional game cache.
In terms of gameplay expect the usual Blizzard style of non-base dungeon crawl missions as well base building segments as well as twists on the objectives and defeat conditions. Hopefully you'll enjoy a wide range of fast-pace stressful missions and slower, more relaxed breather levels. There's also new tech-trees for the Forsaken (Thank you Tomoraider for your permission!), the Alliance and a modified Horde tech-tree.

Every map also features easter eggs, secrets and unique dialogue depending upon your actions, I've tried to account for the various ways people might try to play a mission and to reward these with dialogue or differences to the standard gameplay. For example entering a cutscene using one hero compared to another might change the dialogue or completing quest objectives in a strange order or trying to progress without completing objectives have all been foreseen.



Gameplay
Should anyone wish to play the campaign on Twitch, Youtube etc you have my full permission and let me know so I can enjoy watching it and link it here! If anyone wanted to chat about the process of making the campaign that would be fun too.

The YouTuber John Maximous has been nice enough to play and upload a playthrough of the campaign with the first video being this one here:

I cant believe it. Just yesterday I got the urge to replay some old WC3 custom campaigns and had a blast replaying this one, and what do you know literally the day after i played it a sequel comes out. I was reading the forums of the first campaign yesterday and seeing as the original was made in 2017 I thought the project was abandoned. Still cant believe part 2 came out today, what are the odds

Hey footman, I thought it best to not wait until I was done with the campaign to tell you the Jandice Barov fight leaves Scholomance permanently as a neutral faction still damageable by spells but it is very hard to fight. I had to cheat against Gandling because of it my troops were just dying and I can't attack every unit individually all the time.

And turning on the autocast for blinding light turns on the autocast of inner fire for priests if they're in the same control group.

Cheers! Will fix ASAP :)

EDIT: Fixed, I consider the Scholomance mission my Magnum Opus, so I hope you enjoyed it in spite of that bug. The Blinding Light/Inner Fire bug might be harder to fix since they're based off of the same ability.

Looks like I got the good old softlock for the next mission at the last ship, forsaken forces going after the ships that group up at the original landing site and of course attacking them with the now reduced hp for the ships. And when the first ship appears on the map and the camera locks to it you can't actually see it nor any of the subsequent ones until they land. Not sure if the no boat can be destroyed should be in the optional objective either.

That's all for now, have to go for a while.

Wow, now that is definitely a new bug, how are you achieving these lol? When the camera locks a visibility modifier is created which works for me, what version are you playing on? Not that it should affect it too much but might change some things. Either way, I'll definitely need to check about fixing these bugs :)
 
Ok that should be fine, can you describe the specific events leading to the softlock? So you were on the final boat but the Forsaken attacks went to the original landing zone rather than attacking the fourth boat?

Also for the No ship can be destroyed, defeat conditions are automatically added to all quests :)

Alright I'm back.

After getting the first boat back to the landing zone I was clearing out the middle of the map but the forsaken got around me, I saw one of my towers had gone down but didn't think anything more of it since I had thought the AI leashed back to base after destroying a target. But they apparently just kept going to the landing site, there was no way I'd make it back in time to stop at least one boat from being destroyed. When it got blown up I thought I would get a defeat screen when it didn't I went forward with the mission, retrieving the other two boats and eventually blowing up the main forsaken base because I was getting annoyed by the constant attacks. And you saw with the screens what happened with the final boat.

The last northern base never attacked the last boat even with all the time I spent destroying the main base. One last thing, you get upgrades from rescuing the boats is that intended? I'm pretty sure I didn't upgrade most of these units, somewhat.
 
I see, thanks for the in-depth description.

In all my testing if there's no boat present they attack straight to your base never seen them attack towards the landing zone but that should be fixed regardless.

Also strange you didn't get a defeat screen but that should also be fixed, the inability to rescue the fourth bug was a very dumb mistake where I forgot to set the correct region in the events so was unrelated to the Forsaken attack but that should be fixed. The map is now completely fixed and people should re-download since you can't progress unless you go in and edit it yourself.

Hi, I think i found a bug. In chapter 4 "House of Barov", when you go left from your base to that Alliance camp, cutscene starts, the first line plays out but after that there's just nothing, and nothing reacts, can't ESC, F10 or anything else besides Alt F4. Tried 3-4 times just to see if it'll do it every time and it did.

Interesting, another new bug, what version are you playing on?

One last post from me for the day.

You can research animal war despite not being able train any corresponding units.
If the good captain dies in the mission he does not show up in the outro.
Odd situation where scarlets and forsaken didn't attack eachother just to get at me.
Call to arms doesn't work, no militia.
Ballista side quest finishes before they're actually done.
Once the main quest completes it repeats completion, prompting the outro to go a bit crazy.
And finally no crypt fiends.

Mission eight builds up zombies very fast by the time I actually quit there were 240 already even with the first cauldron destroyed.

You can train Dragonhawks that use it :p
Fixed Morson not appearing.
Scarlet and Scourge will fight, but Forsaken and Scarlet won't for gameplay reasons.
If that's an expansion Town Hall then it won't have the Call to Arms ability would need to be upgraded to Keep :)
Fixed the Balista timing
Fixed Main Quest Completion (very dumb mistake on my end)
Fixed the Crypt Fiends, Crypt fiend unburrowing has always been a bit buggy in my experience but hopefully this sorts it.

I've played through Mission eight a few times, I recommend taking out the first cauldron quickly to slow them down, but the mission is definitely doable ;)

Also I really appreciate you taking the time to list these bugs with screenshots, hopefully once these bugs are all fixed the experience will feel much more polished than this rocky start.
 
Can't play as in it doesn't work? Or can't play as in you don't have that version? Because the campaign was made, edited and tested in 1.31 so it should work.

If you need to download another version you can from here WC3 Download Archive (1.00 - 1.31.1 + BETA & DEMO) maybe it needs to be 1.31.1

It's 10/10 campaign for me. Loved every second of it. Especially the finale. The music really set the tone and it was action from start to finish. However, i do think that the gunship could be a little bit tuned. Having 8 of them really trivialized the mission to the point that i just effortlessly a-clicked through the entirety of the map lol. Can't wait for the next part!

I undoubtedly missed most of the map, oh and the forsaken, the banshee at least has no mastery just odd considering the other units have 1/1 upgrades.

The footman comes back to stand at his previous spot.
Pyraelus can't actually break crates, cages, and I'm assuming barricades.
Thassarian's forces all leash back to their outside positions and the 'base' eventually built inside is very small.
I have no clue what that red pinging is.
A destroyable cage and buildings around the city, prop limit?
There are seemingly several spots around the city that my two casters and seemingly the ghouls can actually get through.
Araj doesn't leash back to his spot meaning you can just pull him a bit and kill him easily, also spellbound trivializes the fight even more.
The steam engines like to pile up but there's probably not much to done about that.
The dialogue before Candors I believe went by extremely fast.

That's all for now, going to do the finale later.

There seem to be bug from the last ship which made me could't finish my quest and is already my fourth time trying to finish it.
This has been fixed in the latest version :)
I undoubtedly missed most of the map, oh and the forsaken, the banshee at least has no mastery just odd considering the other units have 1/1 upgrades.

The footman comes back to stand at his previous spot.
Pyraelus can't actually break crates, cages, and I'm assuming barricades.
Thassarian's forces all leash back to their outside positions and the 'base' eventually built inside is very small.
I have no clue what that red pinging is.
A destroyable cage and buildings around the city, prop limit?
There are seemingly several spots around the city that my two casters and seemingly the ghouls can actually get through.
Araj doesn't leash back to his spot meaning you can just pull him a bit and kill him easily, also spellbound trivializes the fight even more.
The steam engines like to pile up but there's probably not much to done about that.
The dialogue before Candors I believe went by extremely fast.

That's all for now, going to do the finale later.
Yeah, he does that, he's just chilling.
This is a weird bug I'll need to look into; hopefully its just the attack fields being screwed up.
Yep this is a known issue but isn't major so will try and fix it at some point.
Red pinging? Should be pinging the location of the phylactery or Araj will double check. EDIT:This is the ping for the Gargoyle Spires :)
Those should be blocked, I'll double check the pathing :) FIXED
I originally had plans for those destructibles that I ended up not implementing since the mission will get boring quickly if there's too many distractions and the Skysword is so powerful. I might change it at some point. Not to mention just cos you can break it doesn't mean there's something inside it :p ADDED EVENTS TO THEM
I might add a leash trigger in then to make it a bit more difficult :) ADDED
Yeah I wanted Steam Tanks in the cinematic but they're pathing sucks so I might change it. CHANGED STEAM TANKS
I'll lengthen the dialogue times, I'm a fast reader. DONE

Thanks again for all the bug reports will hopefully have time to fix them tomorrow and update!

EDIT: Also fixed spelling mistakes and some other minor bugs in earlier missions as well as bugs reported by Sapprine.

Is Pyraelus third ability the one that makes his attacks aoe suppose to hurt allies?

If you give Thassarian items in chapter 9 for whatever reason, he loses them in chapter 10
Going into chapter 10 Ishtan lost his 2nd and 3rd slot items.

Hi, Footman 16. I have been waiting for this follow-up story for a long time!
Can I translate this map from English to Chinese? But before that, I need the 1.27 maps.
Hi Baiyu, I'm afraid this campaign is only compatible with 1.31+ as it uses features such as 24-players that are only available in these patches.

You are more than welcome to translate it just let me know where it's being uploaded afterwards unless its for personal use.

OK.Oh, I see. The main reason why I need 1.27 is that we Chinese people basically use this version to run wc3. instead of the latest version.if possible. It will be uploaded to the UP combat platform. This is a platform similar to Blizzard Entertainment.

Ah I see, it might be possible to re-create some of the missions so they're 1.27 compatible however this isn't something I'd be able to do or have time to explore, if you know someone that is willing to do this I'm fine with a 1.27 version being made :)

I'm back albeit a few days later.

Paladins already have divine shield unlocked as default even though the upgrade text says they need it to have it.
I'm assuming that counter in the corner is for valkyr kills but it doesn't work.
Should paladins be able to be possessed, that might just me thinking it's odd a banshee can easily take your most powerful melee. Oh and charm.
I was afraid of that, Koltira is selling his items or something whenever he's back at his base.
Shouldn't the first northern alliance base be still rebuilding? They have everything else left at this point.
Down to one item for Koltira.
Argents being useless since cata.
The southern hero doesn't sell his stuff I'm assuming at least he always just has two items.
Units getting stuck as they're trained from the building being too close to the tree line.
It's rather easy to get stuck at the various barricade lines, AI and player both.
"We can't win conventionally" I love the smell of dead horde in the morning.
For the house spawn event neither the apothecaries or banshees have master training despite all the other units at this point being 3/3.

For the outro the heroes do their best to run around as much as they can only stopping to attack after a good few seconds.
The Skysword got moved out of its guard spot early in the outro messing up where it's supposed to die at as well.

You barely see the retreating line of men behind Candor before they're gone.

Status quo is god huh? I admit I'm a little disappointed it's the same outcome as the battle for andorhol back in cata.

Screenshot order got messed up in upload.

I was dreading to see how much you could break the final mission :p

Tomorrow I'll see about fixing all these, the item selling is weird but should be easy to fix, I'll fix the divine shield and maybe give them resistant skin, or maybe add resistant skin with their upgrade.

Yeah I actually really like the Argent Crusade but this campaign does them dirty lol.

The rest should all be easy enough to fix. I thought I'd made the bases in this and mission 7 too tough to beat but clearly people find a way. The Units running around instead of attacking is a weird one as I thought I'd fixed it in my tests, will go back to it. I'll also see about the skysword as I thought I had its positioning all fixed too.

I'll make Candors procession a bit longer behind him too.

Yep I don't want my campaigns breaking WoW lore too much, instead I want an original story people can enjoy whilst also being able to integrate with the already established lore :)

Thanks again for the in-depth bug reporting, I'll definitely add a special mention in the credits :) and let me know your overall thoughts on the campaign.

I did like it, there is a noticeable degree of polish and the continued ease of creating a new story in an established very very messy setting. In terms of difficulty though it is not that difficult with your previous two campaigns being more difficult in the Build and Destroy sense but not by much. At times the world feels very small because you don't fight a lot of armies/factions at once especially the forsaken at the bulwark with their main power base close by I'd expect to fight three or more forsaken factions along with the scarlets/scourge.

The elves and dwarves chapter is a bit odd though because I was thinking there were going to be elf and dwarf characters added in the quest to reclaim lordaeron instead it was just the justify tech tree level. Also it's a bit odd the shamanistic wildhammers are supplying steam engines and mortars, maybe they'd bring an army or two because the hinterlands is right there.

Overall the campaign is fun but it does feel like it could use more missions and a higher intensity, it also feels like you never really -use- your tech tree with some alternate objective taking precedence over I want to kick the absolute crap out of those corpses and burn their buildings with the exception being the bulwark and barov.

Fixed the Divine Shield
Fixed the counter
Gave Paladins resistant skin
Selling items bug should be fixed, no idea how that was happening, never seen that before in an AI and there's no functions SetHeroesSellItems(False)
Yep, the Argent are meant to be there as an Easter Egg to show that they're there but won't do anything.
Fixed the tree line and base layout.
Widened some of the barricades, but they are meant to be chokepoints :p
Again I'm shocked people are destroying these bases lol I thought I'd made them stronger than that, might need to toughen them up.
Added the training to that player.

Fixed the outro Heroes running around, also fixed the Skysword positioning.
Added more of a procession to Candor in the final cinematic :)

You know I thought I'd made the difficulty a lot more "fair" in this campaign but overall more consistently difficult but clearly I failed, maybe I'm not as good a player as I thought I was as I rigorously tested the final mission to make it as hectic, hard and chaotic as possible.

I can see your Arkain influences in some of your feedback and can appreciate your particular tastes in this regard, I definitely wanted to vary the mission objectives and gameplay as much as possible to be more like a Blizzard campaign rather than just the regular build base and destroy and dungeon crawler missions (hence the inclusion of unique boss battles).

Yeah the Elves and Dwarves chapter is literally just to justify the tech-tree so that's fair enough lol you saw right through me. Yee, I get that with the Wildhammers but meh, I can let it slide.

More missions?!?!? Higher intensity?!?!?! I have timed missions and everything! Just kidding, but honestly I thought I'd balanced the difficulty really well for this campaign but clearly I'll need to vary it up, perhaps a variable difficulty setting will be needed :) I'm always worried I'll make things too difficult for some players, but also don't really care much for an easy mode.

I did design some missions around using the new units and to try and get people to use alternative strategies however I also didn't want to limit people, so going for the tried and true methods will also work, it was something I struggled with as I don't like shoe-horning people but also want variation I'm glad you appreciate it either way :)

And also another massive thanks for all the bug reports, I think the campaign is in an approvable state now.
i just finish your campaign. here some feedback

Hotkey has been changed.
This was unintended but I did discover during gameplay and now think its a feature (I also can't change it) think of it like blizzard or Flamestrike.
Fixed the items abilities.
Fixed the Silver Hand knights.
No idea why you can't find chapter ten as all the show button triggers are there and should be working.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback!

Since I replayed a few missions without work hanging over me for the next day I noticed somethings I should have the first time.

Something the matter with chapter ten?

This ballista is the only thing not invulnerable in the alliance camp.
While the farseer does just have random names selected whenever the mission starts nazgrel is very specific.
So I did some testing, he can break objects it just takes a lot of hits.
A question I have since the spell completely stops melee units from moving or attacking, is it meant to stop casters from casting?
The ogre juggernaut and orc frigate on the right both attack the middle battleship while the orc frigate on the left never shoots. Once this shootout ends the two side battleships turn around for a moment before going forward.

Noble aura's unit effect says melee instead of damage.
After the cinematic Candor is still outside the lodge despite being right next to the ranger in the cutscene.
Nothing in the cage?

Are the scholo undead meant to start out with master training? Maybe eventually get 1/1 too.
While Candor does get moved after the cinematic it is no where near the priest.
I'm not actually sure how I didn't remember to mention this but the scarlets are using the elf sorceress and not the later scarlet one used later in the campaign.
There's a single rifleman in the crusade, on a side note I miss the pre retcon crusade with Alexandros as the original highlord.
The lieutenant commander and Iralion say the exact same thing.
You can view the orb of fire in the vault but you have no option for castle upgrade.
This mission has a problem with quest discovered instead of quest updated compared to the rest of the missions.

The ogre juggernaut and orc frigate on the right both attack the middle battleship while the orc frigate on the left never shoots. Once this shootout ends the two side battleships turn around for a moment before going forward.

Noble aura's unit effect says melee instead of damage.
After the cinematic Candor is still outside the lodge despite being right next to the ranger in the cutscene.
Nothing in the cage?

Are the scholo undead meant to start out with master training? Maybe eventually get 1/1 too.
While Candor does get moved after the cinematic it is no where near the priest.
I'm not actually sure how I didn't remember to mention this but the scarlets are using the elf sorceress and not the later scarlet one used later in the campaign.
There's a single rifleman in the crusade, on a side note I miss the pre retcon crusade with Alexandros as the original highlord.
The lieutenant commander and Iralion say the exact same thing.
You can view the orb of fire in the vault but you have no option for castle upgrade.
This mission has a problem with quest discovered instead of quest updated compared to the rest of the missions.

^^^ Me when Kasrkin is able to break my campaign even more and find bugs that I've never seen before :p

Forgot to remove the visible from start for chapter 10 when testing bug fixes, should now be fixed.

Ballista is now invulnerable
Removed Nazgrel from the Hero names to avoid confusion.
I think this issue was caused due to how you set up the AoE for his autocast spell but I think I might have fixed it.
Yep its based off of entangle :)
The shootout should be a bit better now, the turn back thing is a bit finnicky to fix tho as its caused by the new weird unit return behaviour.
Noble's Aura buff has its description fixed
Yeah for some cinematics Candor will be returned to where he was before since that cinematic can be triggered by any unit I wouldn't want to teleport Candor away from a fight for example once the cinematic finishes so it returns him to his original position :)
Yep Scholo is the centre for Undead learning so their casters are good.
The Sorceresses in this mission have now changed their outfits ;)
Yeah this dwarf is in the Crusade, he is intentional :)
Fixed the wrong dialogue.
Fixed the Orb of Fire being available.
Fixed the Quest text.

Thanks again for the in-depth bug reports :)

Hey man, so its not a good idea to triple post, instead use the edit button if you need to add or change something to a post :)

As for the bug, the campaign is made for 1.31 and so ideally should be played on that patch, can you describe what the bug looks like you just say that it looks like there's some kind of bug but I don't know what you mean, perhaps a screenshot might help?
