In a daring campaign against the Scourge in Northrend, Illidan faced off against the death
knight Arthas in an attempt to destroy the Frozen Throne. However, Arthas defeated Illidan and left him
wounded in the snow, allowing Illidan to witness the creation of the new Lich King.

Kael'thas Sunstrider and Lady Vashj, realising their defeat, brought Illidan with them as they fled back to
Outland. Seeing their master's ugly wounds, they decide to bring him back to the Hellfire Citadel so that
he may recover... but, unbeknownst to them, Outland was in a state of a minor civil war.

Soon after that, tensions rise in the blood elven society as the Grand Magistrix Alessandra Katryne
proposes a dangerous idea: reclamation of their homeland, Quel'Thalas.

I have finished this map right now and still deserves 4/5 unless you fix the bugs I mentioned on the review even if its not updated.

You can VM/PM me but preferable PM if you want a review once again on this map.
 
Well I can't say I wasn't looking forward to this. Just one problem, as soon as the first mission cinematic had finished and I selected the Sorceress, the game quit. This is a problem that arises from some icons. There's a thread about it somewhere here on the Hive.

I really hope you could fix this problem as a Mac user it can be a bit disappointing. If you want I could scan through the campaign and tell you what icons are causing this?

That's too bad, but even if you told me which icons caused it, I don't know how could I fix this since I don't own a mac. :\

Well you could use a different icon or I could try and find the thread which details what can be done to the icon to make it work on Macs as well. I'll get back to you on the problem.

Alright, love the campaign so far, but I found a bug in chapter 9, a few moments after I got the first quest, it was finished, even though I did nothing.

Oh lol I know what I did to cause that bug. I'll go fix it immediately, and you should replay that chapter then because you missed a nice cinematic :)

EDIT: Fixed.

That sign above the tower should be higher as the tower itself is taller. I think, you has to creat another version of the upgrade.

Why don't u use Arcane Sactum,Blood Elf Farm and Blood Elf Workshop model when i need to hunt demon i haven't hunt it they have been already fighting themselves

Because I don't like those models. Also, I don't understand what you mean.

That sign above the tower should be higher as the tower itself is taller. I think, you has to creat another version of the upgrade

Yeah, I know about that, but I think that's the problem with the model itself, it's a bit too tall.

The escape after that was pretty sweet though, that was probably my favorite part of the campaign.

Thanks, I really like that part too, probably one of my favorite parts of the campaign :)

In Chapter 1 you can free some units. I think the bug is that identical units (Swordsmen in the screenshots) are sorted into different subgroups in one group.

Tell me a bit more, so we can see what could be the problem.

After the first Cinematic (when Kael visited the Tempest Keep for the first time), the game returns to the chapter selection. And when I click on Chapter 3 (which typically appears in the selection), the chapter does not load and stay playing the menu's music.

*sorry about my english*

That's weird. I just tried it, and it didn't happen to me. There aren't any big imports in the map itself, so I'm not sure what could be causing that...

Forsaken's Review

My Opinion
Terrain


Let's say the terrain is classic ,perfect, really remember the Blizzard campaings, the terrain of Quel'danas are amazing !
Gameplay


The Gameplay is very insteristing when start play the campaign the player can not stop want know about the end, maps with very varied style, and holding a lot of the songs that were placed, cause get more exciting than it already is, we can see this clearly on the map "Chapter Seven: The Traitor's Destruction". that was my favorite map, Gameplay is fascinating !
Spells


Very well thought out the spell, well balanced making the gameplay does not become easy and boring.
Heros and Storyline


The heros like in your other campaign you use the Blizzard Caracters and create your owns, remember me some other cachaters, like Aewynne, he remember me Halduron in the finnale.

The Story has been really elaboreted, i don't have many for talk here, but i loved the storyline of the campaign.
Bugs

The bugs that i have found you already have updated fixed, i just suggestion you change the name of "Dalaran Guard Tower" at Tempest Keep.
Overall

Your campaings are amazing ! Awesome Work !
Rating: 5/5 + rep for this good campaign :)
