[Campaign] Rise of Gul'dan

[Lord Kil'jaeden]

Well, I was thinking of creating a campaign where Gul'dan does survive and manages to consume the Eye of Sargeras. Is it a good idea?

 

[Nowow]

It's titled "Rise of X" so I'm automatically not very much for it. In any case, this should go here: Idea Factory

 

[Lord Kil'jaeden]

Names can be changed. Besides, would playing the Legion change your mind?

 

[Chaosy]

Well..
WoD was basically 'The Rise of Gul'dan'
So there is that.

Anyway, more than anything it depends on the execution.
I would play a map with katana wielding elves in service of dreadlord Jaina if it was well done.

 

[Lord Kil'jaeden]

Sigh... I was not thinking of that. Well, Gul'dan did not betray Kil'jaeden in WOD. Here he does. And he embraces the shadow. Not to mention he has the Eye.

 

[Lord Kil'jaeden]

And he manages to sign a pact with Ner'zhul, gaining half his power. You can see the result on my profile...

 

[Chaosy]

Well, there are obvious differences which is to be expected when dealing with alternate universes.

I just look back at WoD and ask, what changed in the main timeline?
The only difference before and after is that Gul'dan enter the main timeline, and that Garrosh/Bronzie disappear.
So the expansion literary just served to be a reason for Gul'dan to be relevant.

Some lore fuckups aside, I geneuninely think he was the best villains Blizzard made in years.

But the reason I like it over pure alternate universe is that it does not alter canon lore, it adds on top of it.
That is the benefit of time travel, if executed well. *hint*

 

[Lord Kil'jaeden]

No, I haven't planned time travel. Okay, scratch that. I've found a way to reset everything back to normal lore once everything ends.

 

[Lord Kil'jaeden]

Hmmm... I've anyway started the maps. Could you review them? I'm an amateur at this, this will be my first map. Give me some positive criticism.
