Accompanied by the dreadlords Varimathras and Dalvengyr, he plans to first resurrect the armies of the Undead Scourge, who had once terrorized the human kingdom of Lordaeron.

Throughout Resurrection of the Scourge, the story will refer to several key events that occurred in The Adventures of Rowan the Wise and Jeopardy for the Horde, revealing important events that have so far been hidden from the story.

Hey Lord Simon. Thanks for playing my campaigns :)

You'll be glad to know that Malfurion's Quest will feature new heroes and models (I'm not sure what you meant by "is gonna be a new hero" since it is a campaign I am making, but I hope I understood your question).

Anyone have a good strategy for last mission? No matter how many units I produce or towers I build, try as I might I am getting my ass handed to me every time on normal. Is the tower builder acolytes faction supposed to be ally-player controlled and the base faction player controlled? I had seen a youtube video where it was the opposite. I have no clue what to do here to beat this...

Hi Forsaken Ranger,

Its hard to give you advise on this, because I am not sure how you play. However, a good strategy can be the following:

- At the start of the game, start building and continue to build towers throughout the mission. If you need more Blight, you can either purchase Skulls of Blight from the Tomb of Relics or find the Staff of Blight near where you start off.

- Use the two dreadlords to defend from the Humans at the start of the game. If used correctly (using their spells and keeping them alive) and backed up with towers, they can fend off against most of the human attacks throughout the mission.

- The units to build should consist of Abominations, Frost Wyrms, Crypt Fiends, and an Obsidian Statue or two. Get Necromancers if you want. Make sure that there is an army of these guys down at the obelisk to fend off against 3 human wave attacks. Once the 3rd wave is defeated, you can send this army to defend against the main human attacks.

Basically, the idea of this mission is to not just rely on your towers or units. When you use both, your towers act as DPS while your units distract them, giving your towers more time to attack.

Also, this campaign was updated not long ago to change the player's main team due to rallying-point problems.

Hope this helps :)

Wow definitely still can't do it. Had abominations, necromancers, frost wyrms, obsidians, tons of towers. Way too hard for just normal difficulty.

Turnro, your campaings are amazing, and after doing the other two, I recently finished this one.

Now, I have a question. About the Apocalypse: Which regions and places of Lordareon were destroyed? and which spared of the destruction?

Hi, 88Teutonic88. Thanks for playing :)

The spell was summoned in Silverpine Forest, you can assume that the West of Lordaeron was affected most. The east of Lordaeron would also have been affected but not destroyed.

You can also assume that the Eastern Kingdoms was spared from the Apocalypse's destruction.

Well done campaign again. It was long and engaging, with a variety of different kinds of maps, a fun tower defense map, and some interesting custom spells.

Some of the undead units were missing...or didn't have prominent roles, like the destroyer, the Crypt Fiend Hero, and the Death Knight. But that's petty nitpicking, the campaign has a very strong undead feel.

If you like his previous campaigns, you'll like this one too.

Strengths:
- there were several custom spells. They weren't particularly complex but they were fun to use which is the point.
- there weren't too many giant maps where you are controlling too many units. It was all of appropriate size.
- the maps were varied with multiple different tilesets and reasonably good terrain and doodads
- tower defense map was well done
- a few custom items that were interesting

Weaknesses:
- the plot was incomprehensible to me. I don't know WC3 lore except for the actual games... so maybe that's the problem. But the climax meant little to me, which was unfortunate. I still didn't know who did what or why.
- No healing at early levels is very rough. I'd recommend an easy item based on deathcoil or something.

Possible adjustments:
- Chapter 5 was very very hard at the start
- Chapter 6, my plan to mind control a peon ended in disappointment when I learned I couldn't build orc units
- Chapter 10, the micro is very very hard if you don't get the blight-staff. I recommend just putting the item out there for newbs like me so we don't get stomped.


All in all, another well done and enjoyable campaign. The author's effort was well spent and greatly appreciated.

5/5 and +rep

Thanks for taking the time to reviewing another of my campaigns, darwin :)

I agree that the Staff of Blight should be easier to find. I will consider it when I update this campaign next.

I'm glad that you have enjoyed my series so far.

Hi kcryan, and thanks for playing! :)

You are right that Varimathras is red. However, his color was changed because it collided with what Tichondrius looks like, who is also red.

Turnro, this was a great campaign and that ending was just really surprising and I never saw it coming. Meanwhile I really loved how you laid the foundations for the reveal in Jeopardy of the Horde and showed in Resurrection of the Scourge how everything came together. I know why Thrall and the others thought the Night Elves were helping a demon, instead of imprisoning one.

Meanwhile I rather liked how Azgalor's position of the leader of the Burning Legion was being usurped from him even before he was killed. This could be seen with how he was surprised that so few of the Legion entered Azeroth with him and with how the Pit Lord (forgot his name) and the fel orcs spoke of Eredon in the Fel Orcs Ch. 5. In all honesty I'm convinced that the fel orcs will appear in the full version of Malfurion's Quest.

Now while the campaign was good, I found Dalvengyr's arrogance to be too surprising. I get that they successfully beat some of the Horde forces that had been involved in Azgalor's death, but they didn't face Thrall and they felt they couldn't handle Cairne and his Tauren. As such I had a hard time understanding why Dalvengyr felt so confident and assured about the Scourge beating everyone. I also thought it was weird to see the ghost Antonidas in Ch. 8 considering he didn't die in Dalaran.

Though I have to admit that one of the things I really liked about the campaign was that we got to see characters from the earlier campaigns such as Ajar (who I enjoyed playing again), Arthas, Drek'thar, Samuro, Rokhan, and Cairne. As such I began to wonder what was going on with the characters from Rowan the Wise and if we'll ever see any of them again.

Now I do have some suggestions for you:
In Chapter 7 three of the bases are the same color, so maybe you could change the Elven corps to teal and the Kul'Tiras Elite Troops to green in order to have more variety.
In the same mission the Stormgarde Brigade feels like the odd man out since they don't have a hero. So maybe you could give them a paladin or something.
Since we are seeing characters from Jeopardy of the Horde, maybe we could see some characters from Rowan the Wise. For example instead of a random Archmage in chapters 4 we could fight Nathan the Mighty (leading an expedition for more treasure in Northrend) and Tara the Magnificent could be guarding the book of Medivh instead of the ghosts.

I also have two questions for you:
Since Azgalor needed the demon to die in order to enter Azeroth how did he enter when Eredon lived?

This question is more out of curiosity but what made you decided on using Dalvengyr as the third Dreadlord?

Thanks for playing, X59. I'll take your suggestions into consideration :)

In answer to your first question, Azgalor placed the curse on Eredon's illusion form. So while the demon had to die, Eredon was not technically dead.

As for Dalvengyr as a dreadlord name, I was after the name of a dreadlord that existed in Warcraft 3 but was not a significant character. As Dalvengyr was only in one Chapter in the original Warcraft 3 campaigns, the name seemed a perfect fit.

I'm stuck on the first level. I have tried it about five times already. The problem is that as I'm trying to sneak around with dreadlords, I always pick the wrong path to take. The moment I see a NE brigade staring me down, I turn and run, but they already caught my scent and hunt me down. Then as I'm running away from them, I take another wrong turn on the fly and get sandwitched in between another NE brigade, then I die.

I'm stuck on the first level. I have tried it about five times already. The problem is that as I'm trying to sneak around with dreadlords, I always pick the wrong path to take. The moment I see a NE brigade staring me down, I turn and run, but they already caught my scent and hunt me down. Then as I'm running away from them, I take another wrong turn on the fly and get sandwitched in between another NE brigade, then I die.

Hi DarknessRain,

Sorry to hear about your troubles :( Perhaps the easiest way to help you in figuring out where to go is to watch this video palythrough of the first Chapter. It is a little outdated, but the way to complete the Chapter is almost the same.

The only thing that is different for you to know is when you encounter the first Fel Hound. Run south-west instead of going north. When you encounter the orcs fighting the night elves, you can either wait for the battle to end before running past, or fight without taking too much damage.

Hope this helps :)

Great Campaign I must say. One of the greatest I have played. :) One issue though. In chapter 8 I've looked everywhere for the ghost key, but couldn't find it(spent more than 2 hours, restarting a lot) . Could you please tell me were the key is hidden? I'm tired from searching

Hi XavierRockchester, thanks for playing Resurrection of the Scourge :)

As for the Ghost Key, if only you could see invisible units...

If you've killed all the bases, you should win the chapter.

I have just tested Chapter 7, and I was able to win it with no troubles. In order to destroy a base, you must eliminate ALL units and buildings. Perhaps there is a lone unit that you missed.

There isn't much for me to suggest other than to complete the chapter again, if you haven't already done so. If you still can't find all the units, you should use the map reveal cheat to locate any missing units.

Great campaign for the gameplay, made me finally register here to make a post about it. I don't really know how you would pass on hard if you don't find the tome of sacrifices in chapter 4, chapters 5 and 7 in particular that item is pretty much mandatory. I stacked periapts of vitality on Dalvengyr because he was strength and let him tank with his Reincarnation/Death Pact, while Tichondrius raised Pact targets and held onto the tome. Varimathras was basically entirely useless outside of his aura and ultimate. The Dreadlords all start with a point in their worst abilities. It would be nice if you could buy some tomes of retraining on some of the maps.

There were several bugs throughout playing, but the most important one is what made me stop playing. In Chapter 9, I don't get any Acolytes, even if I'm playing on normal. What's more, after I destroy the first base with the Blood Mage, the gates are invulnerable and don't let me pass by, preventing me from progressing. I cannot complete this mission, playing up to it several times to see if I screwed it up somehow. If you're not going to update it, fine, but can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Additional bugs:
  • In chapter 9 if you don't kill the warlord at the start with Varimathras, you can go through the area normally without the time limit (Though the lieutenants will be invulnerable until you kill the warlord)
  • In chapter 5, having an army doesn't even really help that much when the Heroes are doing all the work. It's better to not haunt a gold mine because doing so is what gives the other Orc bases their AI. While I didn't know this when I first played, I did find it much easier to just run through Samuro's base to the end without fighting anything to win. Of course, the start of the mission is still insanely difficult, so I wasn't exactly too upset. I had to build towers in that Orc base to win.
  • In Chapter 8, if you move Araj up against a wall and have him summon his Spirit Beasts, they will spawn on the other side of the wall. You probably want to remove that, given you ban Tichondrius from using Inferno in this level probably because of it. I used this to cheat the teleportation switches, as only the heroes are teleported around when something steps on it, not the summons.
  • Whenever an AI in a map goes to attack, it just kills the first thing it can see then turns around and heads back to base if it can't see anything else once it's finished killing something. I had to use this bug in chapter 7 to survive due to overly high difficulty, building structures out in front of my bases and expansions to fool the AI.

Hi MasterWarlord,

Thanks for your post. Although I won't be updating Resurrection of the Scourge for the time being (I am working on another campaign), it is always great to have players give their feedback.

You have made some very interesting points and made me aware of a lot of bugs that I obviously missed. I will get to fixing these bugs when I work on this campaign next, as well as make Tomes of Retraining available from the Goblin Merchant in Chapter 2.

As for your current situation in Chapter 9, this is what is supposed to happen: "Once you have destroyed the Gray Human base, a cinematic will play of some Acolytes establishing your base. After the cinematic, you will be able to build additional units and collect resources as usual."

The only explanation for this not happening with you is if you didn't kill every unit that belongs to the Gray player. You must kill every unit from the Gray Humans before the cinematic will play.

Of course, this sounds like another fix on my half, since you shouldn't be able to kill every unit to take over the base (for gameplay reasons). For the time being, however, scouting around the base for Gray Human units to kill may be your only option.

Again, I thank you for giving me such useful feedback, and I hope you can continue playing Resurrection of the Scourge and finish the campaign :)

Good play :)

Good Campaign :eek:)) Only in some way really hard or really easy :-D

The last chapter Apocalyps is not good for ending the campaign and really hard to finish... It is impossible for me to win it without cheats :-D maybe if the units have basic statistics it would be possible... Otherwise I cannot imagine how someone can win it on normal or even hard ... :) I am not a fan of tower defense. So it is probably main reason :-D

Anyone have replay of playing Last mision and WIN without cheats? I really wanna see it how it is possible :-D

Thx :eek:))

Hi Orie88,

Here's a reply that you might find useful. It is a play-through of someone completing Chapter 10 on Hard difficulty.
