Turnro, congratulations on this campaign. It's really awesome! 10/10
I have already played Rowan The Wise and Jeopardy for the Horde and they're both great! Can't wait to see Malfurion's Quest in full version... Can you tell me how are the preparations for the campaign going so far and when will approximately the campaign be done?
Thanks in advice and keep up with your campaign!

I really felt that Tichondrius died in a indignant manner even though he deserved to die for committing many wicked and vicious deeds in this campaign...I really hope that Malfurion's Quest can explain more on the process of how Kil'jaeden will suffer his retribution for killing Azgalor and Tichondrius in order to usurp the leadership of Burning Legion.

Haha...I think I would have to wait for another three years. By the way I had played the campaign on Rowan the Wise Paladin and this one...I liked this one out of all three campaigns you designed so far, because I myself prefer to be a 'member' of the Burning Legion.
Another point to note is that, I think Tichondrius' Inferno spell should actually be replaced with the 'Rain Of Chaos' spell, which summons two Infernos at the start , and the number increase by level.

thank you for the good campaign!
i enjoyed it
i will give you 5/5
I didnt like the end though
Tichondrius should have been the king of undead not kiljaedn
Waiting for more campaigns from you )
I finished the campaign and my answer is this: WTF?
I went through so much and in the end what does this change? The demons get a book telling where to find magic which can be used for their invasion, the orcs and humans got beaten a few times, two of the dreadlords and the lich ended up dead. That is it? Jus
The Undead Scourge, an always growing army of undead and perharps the greatest threat to the world, was ressurected and then killed again in what? Three months?
And Araj, after all, dies like that? That bastard Kil'jaeden hasn´t even rewarded him for him aiding the orcs which would lead to Azgalor's death.
Its been a great campaign so far but i keep getting a bug on chapter 3. Straight after the cinematic in chapter 3 it freezes and it does the same if i skip the cinematic or i don't. Please Help!

Yes this is a strange bug. I played this chapter up to the cinematic where you experienced this bug, and the game works fine for me. Have you tried restarting the chapter?

Good challenge factor, decent story, good mission variety. It never really "wowed" me like other campaigns (Dwarf Campaign, Rise of the Blood Elves, Curse of the Forsaken) did but it was good enough to keep me playing until the very end.
I adored how every hero had their own "normal" ability. Really added a needed bit of variety and fun to the map and it's something I really wanna do in mine when I get the chance.
My favorite mission was the one where you had to fight off Nerubian soldiers while trying to rescue new units for you to train. Easily the best. I love missions that play around with the standard racial dynamics. Custom races, having to "earn" units, upgrades and buildings, things that differ greatly from the vanilla game are always a treat. There were little touches of that all throughout this campaign, like how some armies were entirely elves or Dwarves, or how some armies didn't have any non-human units. Or how in the mission you get Frost Wyrms, you have to earn them by defeating a pack of dragons instead of them just showing up unexplained.
One thing I didn't like how the undead race remained, for the most part, virtually unchanged. Aside from the heroes you play as a few minor touches I might not have caught, the vanilla undead race remains exactly the same as it is. No new units or upgrades or buildings or anything. I can understand why it's like that and I totally get that not every map can be a custom race one but I would have enjoyed it more.
Overall though, it was a very solid experience and I quite enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it.
The campaign is amazing. I love the dialogue, the terrain and everything. This a very good campaign. One small question however. Of all the Dreadlords, why did you pick Dalvengyr? It doesn't really matter to me, but Dalvengyr is a pretty unimportant character in the game. You could've picked someone like Mephistroth or Anetheron (Since Tichondrius is alive, I'm assuming Anetheron is alive as well.) In fact, you could've used Tichondrius, Anetheron and Mephistroth themselves since they're the three most powerful dreadlords of the Nathrezim.
Seriously though, great campaign as always Turnro. Just wondering why you picked Dalvengyr.
Please update me of any new campaigns you're about to make. They're pretty cool.

I don't really remember why I picked Dalvengyr. I just looked through the World Editor for the different dreadlords to choose from, and I just happened to pick him.
Excellent campaign , if not for my slow computer I would have finished more quickly instead of staying saving and restarting the PC in the mission Da Alliance Power.
I downloaded the map, but for some reason the third mission won't load. I've tried deleting it and downloading it several times and it still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Yes. The dreadlords gain new abilities in that chapter which have imported icons. Unfortunately, these icons appear to cause the game to crash on Mac computers.
This will be something I will fix when I update the campaign next.
Hey turnro wanted to ask if there will be legendary items on hard and if the hotkeys will be set on q w e r like in the other 2 campaigns witch were btw awesome AWESOOOME..sorry fo the english

i don't think you need to put legendary items on this campaign because unlike the other 2 campaigns this campaign already have UNIQUE powerful items and i think that will suffice. good luck for the MQ though
I restarted the scenario. I was stuck because I used the summonings from Araj in two of the three levers and I thought it really have a trap (you warned in the game). So after the fightings and choosing wisely each one, I finally won the chapter 8.
Hey Turnro, loved the Rowan campaign and looking forward to playing the others. By any chance have you gotten to fix the problem with crashing on the mac or in the works anytime soon?

Rowan the Wise and Jeopardy of the Horde should be fine on Macs, but unfortunately I haven't fixed the problem for Resurrection of the Scourge. I am intending to fix the issue when I get up to updating this campaign, though it won't be anytime soon.
Jeopardy of the horde too but only the last mission where the night elves and the demons has more health than usual. And for Resurrection of the Scourge i think it's better to add new background music just like Jeopardy of The Horde

I agree. Turnro, maybe it would have been better if you had add more enemy units with normal health and damage, than usual number of hostile units with more health and damage like you did. And I also agree that there should be some custom background music to the Undead campaign like you add in the other three campaigns. It'll surely make the campaign more epic and fun to play.
there is something wrong with chapter 6, "orc reinforcements" side quest. i destroyed the orc settlement of rokhan, but still the quest appears as not finished
