I would like to thank -Kobas-, who gave me some useful advice on how to write map descriptions. His 'Map Description - Templates' page has helped me a lot.
I would also like to thank Fallen Angel Boy. His reviews and feedback for Resurrection of the Scourge has allowed me to make great improvements in the campaign.
Finally, I would like to thank all those who have played Resurrection of the Scourge. Your advice and suggestions allow me to make better campaigns
I love you and your campaigns a lot, Turnro. They re just what we - those who really really enjoy the campaign mode expect. It's been a very long time since war3 has been released with its amazing campaign, and now I just have those feelings again playing your
Hello Turnro. A couple of bugs I found in chapter 6:
.Although now I can research the destroyer upgrade for the obsidian statue I still can´t transform them into the destroyer.
.The mission of the santron reinforcements don´t start, the cinematic plays and the reinforcements arrive but the mission never appears. If I destroy their camp I can complete the mission though.
.Not a bug but you should consider adding an altar of darkness at the start of this chapter.
I also want to suggest a couple of esthetic changes, they don´t affect gameplay and are just my opinion, so feel free to adding it or not:
. In chapter 6, the santron reinforcements color is brown. It was ok before but now that Rokhan is their "leader" you can change it to Rokhan default color: blue.(He has this color in both the Blizzard campaign and also in yours before Thrall recruits him in Jeopardy for the Horde)
. In chapter 7, at the Kul´Tiras camp, change their hero model from a paladin to the Proudmoore model:
I found myself getting bored halfway through, and as much as I hate cheating, I just sat there and let my dreadlords destroy the rest of the waves while I went afk. I feel bad for doing it but I honestly felt bored in that mission, but on the rest of the campaign, well done! I enjoyed it a lot.
I liked that in most levels I just played with my heroes vs armies
.
Finally finished. I've never been fan of Dreadlord in wc3, i consider them as most boring hero in game but this was very fun campaign i must say. Most chapters gave me headache, i needed to load many times from saves for each chapter except maybe chapter 1
For me it is.
Balance 5/5 (hard mode)
Gameplay 5/5
Fun 5/5
Story 4/5
Terrain 5/5
When Frozen thrones expansion came out the night elf campaign was so hard, i failed in every chapter, always needed to restart few times, sometimes stuck in a one chapter few days. This was same, i stuck in some chapters so long. Another fine work
I found 2 bugs, but nothing serious.
chapter 6. http://i.imgur.com/CQUifuz.jpg
When this quest came out, cutscene happened but it doesnt say you received new quest. After destroying that small camp, quest log stays unknown even though its completed as you see.
chapter 8 http://i.imgur.com/eGOgjDs.jpg
This mob stuck there, i can kill him without getting hit. I think the little barrel is blocking his way. I dont know if its intended or not.
.
then I think it is ok because I finish the paladin so early and never gave him a chance to attack so thats why he didnt.
You already know what campaign is coming after this
Now that's a good idea.
When in Prologue people are talking but i can't here the sound why ?
In answer to your question, the fact that Kil'jaeden is more powerful than Tichondrius makes total sense. According to the lore, Sagaras, Kil'jaeden and Archimode were the most powerful in all the Burning Legion.
despite my bad english i must post and say that this is the best custom campaigns i have ever played,whole series is such well made...i am having so much fun playing it in hard mode especially chapter 6 and 7...i like how you have 1 dreadlord agi 1 str 1 int so their item build can be independent.i like how you can have such powerful items if you take time and explore map to the fullest 5/5 from me
I have a little question:is it possible to open the door in dalaran mission that require ghost key because i cant seem to find it
