a few things taht would be very nice
1. some actual loading screen game data/storyline
2.a bit more dealt in levels i mean i beat the first 2 in like 5-10 mins not really much difficulty at all
3. lots of minor fixer uppers would be nice
and whats with the whole main char? is it not meant to be a hero or havent u got finished with him yet but if u do get finished i do like the idea of having a hero which u can upgrade if u were going along that area.
but other than that mainly the first 1
this campaign has alot of potential and its original

I'm gonna try it out now.
I'll give you feedback on it.
Well for me I like how Lordearon is now the Plaugelands. That's just me, and I shouldb't be talking about my interests. I'll see if this Campaign is worth playing.

hmmm... It's good for a beginer. well only a question... why you don't make a "Hero"? With XP bar, spells and mana.
Bugs found:
In level 1:
Some Cinematics can be repeated, make it like
------
Event - **** enters region
------
- Action
Turn off (This trigger)
cinematic stuff
----
That way it wont repeat...
some bugs
- At the end of level 1 they ships are attacking you, and you can't attack them.
- The first orcs you find, the grunts, 1 of the gets stuck when the other attacks (at the pit fire)
anyway 4/5

It's a decent campaign for your first try, maybe a bit short..
On the first map i found there were too many cinematics, and during the one were you fight the scarlet cleanser Jeziah (i think that's his name) the boats in the water attack you if your units are within range and you only have one rifleman capable of attacking them so you may want to remove them.
Also, if this is supposed to be accurate to warcraft lore the Scarlet Crusade was created after the fall of lordaeron's capital and they fought against the scourge, although they did kill some innocent refugees.
But, a good effort for your first campaign

K, first BIIG problem, is the polishing. Tis OK, but the intro, the very end where the tropos are lined up ready for battle, they look sloppy.
And lvl 1, the captain isn't a hero, that's another big problem.... make him a hero, or this loses some points... I havn't tried lvl 2 yet..... i sure hope it's better.... otherwise...
Lvl 2. Horrid. Two bases, and you only need to destroy the town hall of one??? Also, maybe an ending cinematic for your levels would be nice, instead of just Victory, when you finish the requirements..... also... maybe a few quests?

That's something i'm totally unsure of. Best bet is to use triggers where every so often you create units and send them to the players base.
Also, you see, because the captain isn't a hero, you can't revive him. Which sucks. If you want to make him a hero, simply create a hero named "Captain" and change to model file to "Captain,Swordsman" and then go make a unit description and change the Name Strings to one... sounds like a lot of work, and it can be, i know.

Just to say, once you get into the custom modeling apect, it doesn't feel too long. But A well balanced hero is very hard to make. I've dived into custom AI before and it really isn't too bad once you look at it.

Well, that'd true.... but attempting to create a truely custom hero can take hours, especially if you want him to turn out nice. Custom Spells, Damage, health, mana... stats, all are important and it takes forever until you get used to it..
Oh, and that AI stuff... i get the feeling i'll never understand, cause i can't find a way for custom units to work....

But all Blizz campaign maps (where there is an enemy/enemies with a base(s)) use AI. You can make AI to attack at you when it reaches the required amount of the units blabla just all via AI editor.

Oh, i understand the basic idea and use of AI, i just don't think i'll be able to use it to it's full capacity... after all, i don't think it allows you to use custom units in it. But enough about me, this topic's about the campaign!

Well, I played this campaign before, I played it again and now I really should inform you about these problems:
1. The first cinematic is only camera around the bases and Medivh talking, that's not much a cinematic, you can music or something, add Fade out and fade ins
2. In the First chapter, there is no starting cinematic for it, you could even use a cinematic mode that shows the captain has reached there and you could say about that gate and that village in cinematic mode.
3. That village that was razed by orcs where those 2 orc warlocks were wasn't really called a village as I can say, 5 structures and 1 well, you could add some more doodads to improve it's quality.
4. You are in charge of humans but your race options appear as Night Elf.
5. Terrain is also unacceptable and needs much to be improved.
6. Most words in the sentences that were being said were started with capital letters even when they aren't the first word of a sentence, like "I Didn't Even Know You Are Here"
7. The first time you meet a Scarlet Crusader or Captain, he says "Plaque" instead of "Plague" which plaque means something far different with plague, and I know it' only a mistake while typing.
8. As some other people mentioned, the captain isn't hero and has no abilities with large amount of hit point regeneration, you can add a team glow to him, turning him into a hero with XP bar and some warrior fitting abilities like, Block, or Berserk or similar to these.
9. In the last moments of chapter 1, when you are heading to that purple Scarlet Crusade captain, you gain control of another captain, same models, same Icons and same size, that really bugs me.
10. Also a strange thing is I don't recognize the Scarlet Crusade to have dwarves in their group or race.
If I am to rate this campaign, I give 1/5, but I won't since it will really ruin it.
