Resurrection of the Scourge

[Turnro]

As already mentioned, this campaign has yet to be finsihed. Feedback for the maps made so far would be appreciated.

 

[HD888]

nice i like it 5/5

Question:how is it able to be opened in world edit if there is only one file thats in the w3n format?

 

[GhostThruster]

Note: Tichondrius was killed by Illidan [A Destiny of Flame and Sorrow] before the legion invaded. Sorry, just lore-wise it is incorrect.

Sorry, but my campaigns DO NOT follow from the Warcraft 3 storyline. It is different altogether. I just used several of the same characters.

 

[Arthas_the_Mad]

great campaign. liked it. hope to finish it soon. can' t wait to play the next chapters. 10/10

 

[Vengeancekael]

Hmmm, this is the first time i see a campaign with a hard difficulty Will check it out later.

 

[krisserz]

The campaign is.. ok. Nothing really special but good enaugh. Pretty balanced, kinda fun and generally well done. I`d suggest you to display dilogues during the game coz it`s like for now only moving mouth.
The thing I enjoyed very much was that it`s pretty hard.

I give it 3/5 and vote for approval.

 

[Erader]

Your lore is extremly retarded!!!!! And why TF did you put impossible missions?! It's like you're begging people to use cheats.

 

[knight26]

Jeopardy of the Horde and this campaign are very great!. i really dont like the fact that u dont use any imported material, but that doesnt mean that the campaign is bad. very enjoyable and great overall..!
you are getting 5/5 to both campaigns.
P.S: Is there any release date for your 1st campaign(human one)?. i really want to understand the storyline better.. atm its kinda... twisted
keep on man

 

[YeeShadow]

Good campaign with basic warcraft gameplay.

The cinematics are great, there's nothing I can complain about.
The gameplay, is normal warcraft gameplay, I hate it, but, it works, so I can't complain.
Terrain, good, sometimes a little flat though. And there are lots of "squares" in the water you should fix that, it looks awful specially in the second and third level.

There are somethings that I don't like, specially with the characters, they have no personality at all, must of the dialogues are just generic, is quite obvious that they were writen by the same person, as I said, no personality for any character, they are all the same person...

SPOIL WARNIG

Ok, the dialogues sometimes are just out of place, in the first map one elf that says "Demons! They are after the ship" I know they are elves, and they have great and mystic powers, but as far as I know, they can't read minds, so, How they knew they were after the ship? Another mistake was in the last map, and it really ruins the entire atmosphere, because the only thing you can do is laugh... Samuro says something like this "triple the defenses" or something like that and in the next scene an orc opens the main gate... that doesn't makes any sense... I suggest you change the dialogue to something like "Open the gate! Prepare to attack brothers!" or something like that.

I suggest to give another reason to Varimathras, apparently Kil'Jaeden doesn't care about the deal he did with Azgalor, so, why he is so worried? Azgalor is dead, Kil'Jaeden doesn't care, so there's no reason for all of these.

Overall, these is a good campaign, the main troubles for me are in the lore, and dialogues..

I forgot something really important, there's a bug in the last map, something with the cinematics, the camara fades, someone says something (can't remember what, but is something of the first cinematic), nothing big, its just weird.

 

[Turnro]

P.S: Is there any release date for your 1st campaign(human one)?. i really want to understand the storyline better.. atm its kinda... twisted

There is no definate release date for my Human Campaign, yet. Expecting it to be some time in March. I will give the date closer to the time.

 

[CaoSong]

awesome, downloading this now, I'll have a detailed review for it shortly ^^

***SPOILERS***

Chapter 1: Love it, I'm a major fan of the Nathrezim so getting to control 3 different Dreadlords is awesome. Like the difficulty and the payout for going and destroying the Night Elf bases (a nice item or 2). Nice placement of creeps on the well made map. Only problems I had was that 2 Night Elves stayed invulnerable after they fought with the Lost Orcs, and after I saved the Doom Guard he split, would be better if those Burning Legion guy's joined my group.

Chapter 2: Nice placement of creeps again, and a good map. Kinda annoying fighting Hydra's then suddenly getting attacked by the Naga from behind, but still fun none the less. Wish Arthas could have played a bigger role, was disappointing to see how easily he was killed and how little a role he had considering he was the head of the Scourge and all. Only problem I had was that the Royal Naga Guard's followed me, all the way back to the fountain of health, thought they'd break off their pursuit after a time but no such luck.

Chapter 3: Right off the bat I noticed that I dont like the fact that the Necromancy skills are items, shoulda just been skills, least that's what I would have preferred seeing as how many items you made available having to give 3 of them up for Necromancy items that I dont think are even worth it (not powerful enough, and beyond that Tichondrius's item is just a weaker version of Varimathras's item). Next problem I've noticed, when I reanimate corpses, they either wander of they're auto targeted to be stuck to the Dreadlord that summoned them... it's annoying when I send them to go attack the enemy and they suddenly stop and start heading back makes them almost more work then they're worth (except for Dalvengyr item which actually works correctly)

I'm still working on Chapter 4, so I'll be updating this soon.

Maps: 5/5 (original, nice placement of creeps, and no huge empty spaces)
Storyline: 5/5 (gotta love dreadlords XD)
Difficulty: 4/5 (A little too hard at times, but overall I'm loving it thus far)
Overall: 4.6/5

 

[GhostThruster]

If it is different lore, than you should state that in the description. I know a few people who worship lore.

 

[CaoSong]

“With Azgalor defeated, the Burning Legion has failed yet another attempt to invade the world of Azeroth. Now the Horde travels back to the Barren region of Kalimdor and the Sentinels attempt to clean up the horrific, yet small, invasion. However, the Burning Legion will stop at nothing to destroy Azeroth, as another plan is in process.
Tichondrius, leading dreadlord of the Nathrezim, has decided to take on the task for his demon allies. Two other dreadlords, Varimathras and Dalvengyr, have agreed to join him. Tichondrius tells them that he plans to invade Azeroth by resurrecting the Scourge, the undead army that had once terrorised the human kingdom of Lordaeron. Although all is hoped to go according to plan, both Varimathras and Dalvengyr have unanswered questions. How does Tichondrius plan to bring the Scourge back if the Lich King is dead, and why bring them back if they were defeated? It seems that there is more to Tichondrius' plan then what he is actually telling...”

errrrr that shoulda told you right off the bat that it wasnt following the exact Warcraft lore

 

[Turnro]

Quite useful feedback so far.

I'll be updating this campaign soon, so if there is anything you can suggest, please do it as soon as possible.

 

[EvilAfeRmAtiX]

Seems cool, lets test it.

 

[Costin_Razvan]

Just to add my thoughts. While the story in itself is good, the dialogue looks like written by a 12 year old. The characters talk like teenagers not like the fantasy characters that they are.

Secondly, hard would be a overstatement. The campaign is far from hard ( especially after you get necro items )

That said and done, It is a good campaign, as is Jeopardy of the Horde and I would like to offer to join you to help make it. I can make better AI then what you currently have as well as make the dialogue fit a fantasy setting.

 

[Turnro]

A note to players.

I will be making one last upload to Jeopardy for the Horde. I will also be continuously updating Resurrection of the Scourge when I have completed more maps.

My Human Campaign is almost ready. Despite some hold ups, it will be available to download on 16th March. It is called 'The Adventures of Rowan the Wise'.

 

[EvilAfeRmAtiX]

Nice campaign, very cool and nice stuff but you changed the storyline, that's why I rate it with 3/5

 

[takakenji]

looks like a great continuation of your other campaign, i'll try it out tomorrow

 

[Kiamati]

This is a nicely done campaign, good from all viewpoints. I look forward to playing the third espisode of the series.

5/5

5/5

It is the third campaign of my series!

 

[Pourquoi]

well, could you implement a system that loads the old cache info like in Ogre_Bob's Thievery Campaign? sorry if my English is incorrect...

 

[Turnro]

This campaign has been updated.
These are the following changes I made:
- Added in 2 maps:
Chapter 6: The Sorcerer and the Horde
Interlude: The Will of Kil'jaeden
- The necromantic spells each dreadlord possess are no longer items, they are normal abilites
- Changed Varimathras' necromantic ability to 'Summon Dark Minion'.
- Made changes to dialogue
- Fixed a problem with Night Elves being invulneable in Chapter 1
- Fixed a problem which allowed the Naga Royal Guard to follow units owned by the player
- Minor changes to terrain, mainly to Chapters 1-4
- Skeletons summoned by Dalvengyr can now learn attack/armour upgrades
- Fixed pathing problems with Pig Farms (for AI reasons)
- Minor changes to cinematics
- Minor changes to gameplay

Sorry it has taken a while to upload. I have been busy doing other things. In the next update, the following maps will be included:
Chapter 7: Diverse Paths
Chapter 8: The Ruins of Dalaran
It will take a few months for the next update.

Feedback is still needed, especially for the new map, Chapter 6. It is suppose to be the hardest map so far, so I would really like your opinions.

well, could you implement a system that loads the old cache info like in Ogre_Bob's Thievery Campaign? sorry if my English is incorrect...

I will definately look into it in my next update.

With the game catches, they're exactly the same (which basically means that you can load the game catch with any map, once it has been saved). So there is good and bad news. All I would need to do would be to unlock the newer chapters to play.

However, with the recent update there is probably no point. If your desperate, cheat. I have changed quite a bit to the earlier chapters, so if you wish to understand the storyline better, it is advised you reply the first 5 chapters.

 

[orcyngiser]

i think its good enough to be approved. make sure u fix the small bugs here and there though.

 

[knight26]

Yeheayyy, an update, I'll make sure to check this out again.!.

 

[Legion_King]

Good if you can add voices for the dialogues, I can act as Dreadlord, I guess I can do all well with practice, and maybe Pit lord, but I need a good sound recorder.

 

[Turnro]

Good if you can add voices for the dialogues, I can act as Dreadlord, I guess I can do all well with practice, and maybe Pit lord, but I need a good sound recorder.

While additional voices (or sound recordings) do add interest into a campaign, I wasn't intending to do it to Resurrection of the Scourge.

I was only interested in adding voice to my Human Campaign, and it created a lot of problems for me. This includes:
- Finding people and voices that fit characters
- Disables changing dialogue (unless your willing to redo them, as most people aren't)
- Increased amount of production time of the campaign
- Having people do half of their voices, then being unable to continue with them for certain reasons

From my own experience, if I was asked to make a new campaign with added voices, I would say no! One campaign with sound recordings is enough.

 

[CaoSong]

I downloaded it again... going to write another review level by level, so I'll be editing this a couple times I'm sure

***SPOILER***

Chapter 1: The Elf units were no longer invincible after their battle with the orcs... however I still don't like that the Burning Legion demons split after you save them, don't think the Dreadlords would let them just leave either.

Chapter 2: Still don't like the little role that Arthas plays... his death just seems way to quick considering how powerful he is. Only problem I had seems to be fixed, the Naga guards broke off pursuit and didn't follow me all the way back to the fountain.

Chapter 3: Same problem still happening with Tichcondrious... the reanimated corpses ignore orders and try to auto follow him wherever he moves, makes them useless when trying to send them out to battle without sending in my Dreadlords... other then that no problems... oh and I'm happy that the items were turned into skills instead, much better.

Chapter 4: Love the map, nicely done. Only things that annoyed me was that the Human Expedition wouldnt let up... each time I moved forward and took a bit of their outlying base, they'd relentlessly send units to try and retake it, couldnt get enough time to get my Mana and stuff refilled... other then that I like the rest of the map, collecting the Scourge is fun though it's difficult at the start there having to deal with the spiders constant attacks.

Chapter 5: Good map, however for some reason the Brown base didn't do anything... even when I launched an attack on it the only units that defended were the ones that were in range to attack, none of the other units came to defend, which made overwhelming the base pretty easy. Also the Red base sent 1 unit to attack me, however they got stuck looking like they were trying to cross the water to attack the base I had made there... even when I attacked the red base that unit didn't move, they just stood on the shore. Didn't find any other glitches or anything else wrong with the level... I enjoyed it, but putting more importance in the outlying red bases would be nice... currently they're just kinda... there... dont have to destroy them, and they never once sent troops from them so they're just kinda lurking around.

Chapter 6: Nice map, could have used more meaning for the creeps, given better items or something but the layout was nicely done. Level was pretty easy considering from the comments I was expecting the Tauren to destroy my base like a hurricane... all it took was about 25 spaced towers mixed in with about 10 of the ice towers and a couple acolytes to repair, and they were no problem (However I noticed that Cairn went around and tried to attack the other side of my base alone... I defeated him with just my Dreadlords). The Orc reinforcements... way too easy to destroy ^_^; I rushed them as soon as they appeared... 5 Crypt Fiends, 1 Meat Wagon, 2 Necromancers, and my Dreadlords were able to destroy the Orc reinforcements. I liked the hidden Spellbook, however I found it to be quite useless... +75 Mana, -33% from Magic damage, and the ability to teleport to your town Hall... no thank you (kept my Rusty Pickaxe, +1 damage and 15% to confuse). The red base was on the other hand pretty challenging since it was like 2 vs 1, every time, as soon as I'd get the upper hand against the lower part of the base, the upper base would send out it's troops and I'd end up getting destroyed... it took me attacking with my Dreadlords, 7 Necromancers, 14 Crypt Fiends, 12 Gargoyles, and 7 Meat Wagons before I finally destroyed the Stronghold and killed all the peons... after that I was able to pick off the rest of the lower base at my whim. With the lower base gone it was basically a 1 vs 1 game, so it wasnt too difficult.

Maps: 5/5
Storyline: 5/5
Difficulty: 4/5
Overall: 4.6/5

Score is unchanged cause I still think the level's are a little too hard at times, while a little to easy at others =P

 

[GhostThruster]

I think there is a person round here called Perry_ that's a good voice actor.

 

[rafaelrq]

I have played the updated version and i have some suggestions:
Why don't you change the Shadow strike on Tichondrius for a Howl of terror or a better ability for controlling battles?
The Darks minions raised by Varimathras should have less Attack and Armor, but they should be able to gain upgrades from the Graveyard, as well as reducing the cooldown of the ability by 0.5 or 1 second, it is just less useful than Tichoundrius and Dalvengyr Necro abilities.
I had a problem with the last chapter, when the Tauren are coming, i destroyed 3 of the 4 bridges, and they still were able to pass through my units and base, they were just too powerful to destroy, they had Resurrection (all of them), OMG Resistant skin AND i think a more powerful AoE attack. After all that, they destroyed almost all my base and the optional quest was Failed. You could nerf the Taurens of just to make it so, when they reach the first bridge the quest should be already failed. It just slows a bit their unstopable arrival.

 

[Turnro]

I had a problem with the last chapter, when the Tauren are coming, i destroyed 3 of the 4 bridges, and they still were able to pass through my units and base...

The optional quest 'Stop the Tauren' is intended to be hard. You said you destroyed 3 bridges, when the actual fact is that destroying the bridges ONLY STOPS THE TAUREN TEMPORARY. You can destroy all the bridges and still loose the quest.

This is noted to you when the tauren start repairing the bridges. Varimathras says that destroying the bridges will only hold the tauren for a short period of time. Then Tichondrius says that no time should be wasted and you must hurry to destroy Orgrimmar. Did you have subtitles turned off?

The only way to win the quest is if you complete the main quest of invading Orgrimmar before the tauren reach your base. Think of it as a timed mission. When the tauren come, you have a certain amount of time to destroy Orgrimmar. Destroying the bridges only bides you more time. The only difference is that you only fail the quest if the tauren reach your base instead of failing the whole chapter.

 

[rafaelrq]

Oh, so that happened. Well, if you could add that simply sentence: Stop the Tauren temporary i would be happy.
What about changing Tichondrius' Shadow strike and the other stuff i mentioned?

 

[Cryptstalker]

Wow that was one of the best things I have played.
It was a really good camp and it was to summon alot of different units!

 

[lord_ken]

Awesome campaign, Like all the other previous chapters.

• Pro's
• Awesome story
• Decent enough terrain

• Con's
• I didn't see any worthwhile necromancy spells, :/ Also, The shadow strike ability on Tichondrius should be replaced, It doesn't really fit his category that much I don't know why.


My suggestions are that you should add some more custom spells, Also, Could you try adding an option where we could choose our own necromancy spells when we finish the Necromanic book quest? That would be awesome. Overall it is 4/5 Complete the campaign so that I can make it 5/5.

 

[CaoSong]

***updated my review... again***

 

[Turnro]

...for some reason the Brown base didn't do anything... even when I launched an attack on it the only units that defended were the ones that were in range to attack, none of the other units came to defend...

This suggestion is quite weird. The only reason for this to happen is if you attacked the brown orc base before you haunted a new gold mine (a main quest). AI is only given to the brown orc base if you have completed the quest.

I will have a look at this when I upload the campaign next, but I would like to know whether you haunted a gold mine or not (and if you didn't, did you cheat?)

 

[CaoSong]

ha, yea I didnt haunt a new gold mine XD and the only cheat I used was "iseedeadpeople" so I can see the whole map... I actually haunted the gold mine that the brown base was mining after I wiped them out.

 

[Bengtsson93]

dam freaking nice camp man

 

[bliz]

this map was good 10/10

 

[deepstrasz]

I'm waiting for it to be finished, will you buddy ?

 

[Turnro]

I'm waiting for it to be finished, will you buddy ?

I am working on it at the moment. Chapter 7 is nearly done and I have gone and made some minor changes to the earlier chapters. However, I have Chapter 8 to make before the campaign is updated. There is no date yet, but it is expected to come out within the next couple of months. Sorry if it is taking a while (I had been working on my Human Campaign earlier on), but rest assurred it is worth the wait.

 

[deepstrasz]

You don't have to be sorry for anything. It is your desire if you finish or not. I just wanted to know if you were planing to work on it. As I said before: I'm waiting for it to be finished.

 

[BlueDragon14]

I have a good chapter 7: The Dredlords arive in Dalaran but they discover that the Book OF Medieval is guarded by a Wizard cald Telcu the Great but as the Dredlords plan to attack Telcu and take the book of Medieval a Druid apers from the wood and present to as Ahile and he want to make a deal with the Dredlords he will give his NightElf's to help them with 1 conditione that and his men to be created Demonic powers.

Kil'jaden start to order the attack of the Undead,Naga and Demons, the undead ar comanded by Varimathras:you comand 3 armies Undead,Naga and a few demons you must destroy the castel

Pleas say your idea of my story and say it on my profile page you can make it and if you will pleas say that i have a minor roll in this campaign pleas

Um when do you expect to finish this? Its been at 6 maps for a long time man.

Pleas say your idea of my story and say it on my profile page you can make it and if you will pleas say that i have a minor roll in this campaign pleas

Your ideas are quite good and creative. Indeed they would be of use... if I actually needed a storyline made up for me.

I have already planned out what the remaining chapters are going to consist of and have since I started making the campaign. Even if I was to use some of your ideas, it wouldn't fit in with my storyline properly.

So thankyou, but no thankyou. If you like, though, you can give me some basic ideas for my Night Elf campaign. If you wish to know my ideas so far, PM me.

Um when do you expect to finish this? Its been at 6 maps for a long time man.

I know the campaign has not been updated for a while, but I have had other things happening. The next update will consist of the following:
- Addition of 2 maps:
Chapter 7: Disobeying Orders
Chapter 8: The Ruins of Dalaran
- Tichondrius' Shadow Strike ability will be replaced
- Varimathras' Dark Minions will be able to benefit from attack/armour upgrades
- The player will have the option to choose the difficulty of gameplay: Normal or Hard.
- Other minor updates

So far, I have updated half the maps and made Chapter 7. I am currently on Chapter 8, and at this stage I am not sure when it will be ready. I will try to finish Chapter 8 as quickly as I can.
Expect the campaign to be updated within late this month/early October.

 

[takakenji]

i love your campaigns, they're great

you should be your own game designer, you make good storylines

 

[Pourquoi]

A bug (Chapter 3): I found all the Crypt Fiends, Gargoyles, Meat Wagons and Necromancers but the chapter didn't end simply because one of the Crypt Fiends' corpse wasn't reanimated and when my dreadlords approached there was no cinematic. Stuck.

A bug (Chapter 3): I found all the Crypt Fiends, Gargoyles, Meat Wagons and Necromancers but the chapter didn't end simply because one of the Crypt Fiends' corpse wasn't reanimated and when my dreadlords approached there was no cinematic. Stuck.

The bug will be fixed. It is encountered by skipping certain cinematics, which disable the Main Quest being updated (If any of that makes sense to you). The update is to be available shortly.
