This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Path of the Damned
Unholy Edition
Unholy Edition
A different take on the classic Undead campaign for RoC, with an updated game mechanic for the undead race, along with new spells for Arthas and Kel`Thuzad and new models for the Elven and Dalaran factions.
The Gameplay
I always thought that the undead on WC 3 had potential to be so much more unique instead of a simple build and train race like all the others. So I made this campaign in hope of creating a breath of fresh air for the shambling corpses. The campaign gameplay focuses much much more on the fact that you are commanding an army of risen dead warriors, replacing the traditional build and train method to something much more dynamic: using your necromancers to raise your soldiers for you, actually giving them the role they are supposed to have in an undead army, that is, to create the army itself.
Quel'Thalas and Dalaran
That's not all, of course, I also decided to address some other issues I had with Path of the Damned, like the elves and Dalaran looking way too much like traditional humans. I spiced things a little bit by replacing most models for both factions, to better fit their theme.
Arthas and Kel'Thuzad
And to finish things up, the Death Knight and Lich heroes (Arthas and Kel'Thuzad) are somewhat lame, they are probably useful on a melee game, but for a campaign, their abilities are way too underwhelming and some really not useful at all or do not have a big enough impact on the game. To fix this I've completly revamped Arthas' abilities, giving him the possibility to choose between three different spell kits (all inspired by WoW DKs) and added some new tricks to Kel'Thuzad.
Callahan, supertoinkz, Tranquil, -Grendel, Ujimasa Hojo, Alpain, Direfury, HerrDave, MatiS, GooS, NFWar, infrenus, Lichkings slave, San, viiva

I liked this rework of the original campaign. It's much simpler, reworking the basic concept of the undead tech tree, etc. I also liked, when I met units, that are different faction by faction (Footman -> in Dalaran: Sentry, Etc.). There and there are few bugs (you can't convert Acolytes to Shades example), but there is no game or campaign breaking bugs. I also forgot for the first two chapters, the campaign is recommended to play with 1.29, not with 1.31, but that's my fault, and yes, if someone does not play it, with the recommended version, than there is a campaign breaking bug : build 3 Ziggurats in the chapter 2, I completed every objective, and I cannot process towards chapter three, because the game does not sensed the ziggurats that I builded previously, so I cheated once again... Thank you for the fun, I liked this perspective of yours with the undead.
