VGsatomi: Approved. An old but good campaign.
Read full review...
hey malv this is perfect never played this nice campaign before :P would be cool if arthas dident die :(
 
most of the grammar was wrong and it is much better if u stayed in one team and in the story admeral proudmore is already dead even before arthas and nerzul combine but it was good i gave it 7/10 sorry
 
Ganganto, before you start the campaign, it says that it is excluding the Rexxar campaign of the lore. And yes, this does go off the lore completely, but I don't think it was intended to follow it. The plot was good, but Arthas dieing was cheesy. But what will be even more cheesy is if you ressurect him because you want him back. It's like when blizzard brought back Anub'arak from a heroic dungeon to an engame raid boss. I would of liked it if Arthas said

"Kill her!"
"Protect her!"
"Kill her!"
"Protect her!"
"ENOUGH! I AM IN CONTROL! KILL THIS MORTAL BEING! I AM THE MASTER!"
 
AMAZING! This is the first custom campaign I ever made and it offers a nice fill-in-the-blanks between some of the maps. It's not exactly what happened but it's got so little plotholes between this map and the lore that it might as well be what happened. Why don't I give you a little rating based on my opinion and what I thought the map's rating was.

{-} A great story that stuck by the warcraft one almost all the way through
{-} Didn't have a lot of custom models and yet still transmitted an amazing warcraft feel
{-} Had a great variety on the map types
{-} Also incredibly innovative
{-} Had many Challenging Aspects to test your warcraft skills
 {-} Cinematics worked quite well to transmit the story
{-} Cinematics functioned properly in-game
{-} Cinematics were not boring to watch and were actually pretty fun.
{-} One of the best Campaigns on hive in my opinion
{-} This map is so good that even though this map did not get a perfect score, I am rating it in decimals which must be rounded up. It gets a technical perfect
{-} There was at least one part where the cinematic skip trigger did not unhide the hero.
FINAL SCORE:4.96 Technical Perfect
 
When i download the map and put it in map game folder, and then open the game in order to play the map , it is not there. Any help?
 
Let me geuess.. you played warcraft 3 before?
well, It's good to also make a story about Ilidan, or kil'jaden, sargeras, the Titans, or anything that was supposed to die in warcraft 3 nor WoW..

but Ill give it a 50/1 :D
 
Loved it, thanks very much for uploading it. The story was great and immersive and you did a solid job of adding in unique aspects into the maps (loved he naval blockade storming you at the end of protecting Theramore!)

I've but two complaints, and those are the death of Arthas and the encountering of a single bug.

On the escort map with Danzil or whatshisface, I didn't speak to the dragon prior to finding its egg, and this cause some weird text and trigger issues.

Anywho, 5/5 :D
Edit: =O I can't rate yet? Oh well, I'll have to rate it in 8 days then :P
 
Well, a great campaing!
Good history, some parts are hard, like ironforge, but the challenge makes it very enjoing!
It remembers a little blizz campaing because you see the history from various sides...
The lich king's model is very ugly and i think there should be more chapters playng with lich king and his forces.. But I liked it a lot!

5/5

Sorry for the bad english but i'm not from USA... Hope you understand!
 
prolouge is like WoW wrath of the lich king and good campaign 5/5 super awesome
 
Best map ever 10/10

Having trouble on chapter 7. When the queen dragon is to go kill the base she doesn't completely destroy it, and when i go to kill the buildings, no trigger. I've also tried walking to the cave she opens after you return her egg but it does nothing. Also "allyourbasearebelongtous" does not work in this situation. Help!?
 
One simple question. In chapter 4 how do i get enchanted jewel?

Problem solved.

I have just finished playing. AWESOME.super amazing.GODlike.This is a blizzard-quality campaign, very well made. I praise the campaign's difficulty (very high, but missions are also very interesting because of difficulty), plot turn-around and some special tricks borrowed from original Blizzard campaigns:
-The ending bonus is similar to that of RoC ending.
-Summoning undead from cemetery just like Arthas-Death Knight did in RoC.
-Fighting paladin left-overs in Lordaeron,which Arthas did in TFT first mission for Undead.
-Sneaky type of missions (two such moments), similar to how Tyrande had to sneak past Doom Guards in RoC night elven campaign.
-Holding a dark portal (Varimathras), like in last mission of RoC undead campaign.
-Lots of sound files from blizzard campaigns are used again in dialogues and cinematics of this. And they are actually fit.
-Must protect houses with villagers, as Arthas-Paladin did in RoC human campaign.
-Morality turn-around, similar happened with Arthas in RoC campaign
-Undead takes over a base and converts it, there are many cases when this happens in blizzard campaigns
-Some sort of cave-style missions, without a base, but these have much better plot for them. (Writing and scenario, characters are all extremely well done)
-Treacherous side-switching, which Varimathras did in TFT Undead campaign.
-Elven race is separate, like in both TFT and RoC campaigns.
-Noooo!.. cant remember! this is too much.. well done!!

This is very major work, brilliantly done, it is unbelievable how you could simply say "that's all folks" in end and just get over it, this deserves a lot more words actually, and even though I understand it is clearly the end, I want more like this.
 
This is cool campaign, my only problems are when I skip cinematic it make the screen black and nothing happening, that french sentences to translate , and at terrain there are in some maps ugly-tight ramps need to fix. To be honest Ironforge and the last siege was so hard. Mainly in last mission those uber waves in every 20 sec came + have to control 2 bases.. was so sweet victory hardly at end. But indenepedntly from this things its a very well made campaign, sounds used wisely and dialouges were funny+ the stroy line is very interesting. I really like the credit movie. Would be nice to fix this errors and may add 1-2 more missions for fun.
Its still to me 9.5/10.
Thanks for sharing that campaign.
 
Several plot holes, broken/improper English, poor characterization, and very poorly timed script boxes. HOWEVER this campaign /w polishing could be a blizzard campaign. Interesting facets include daylight damage and scourge invasion of Theramore.
 
There's an annoying bug in chapter 3 (Arrival at Theramore).
After destroying 2 scout towers on the west, the gate won't open and
the 2 naga guards get back to their starting position.
Also "allyourbasearebelongtous" didn't work.
Please help!
 
I.. have no idea how to download this. I just click download and it leads to nothing. Can anyone help?
 
The dialog is so horrible I had to make an account and post this after the first scene. I have yet to play the maps so I won't comment on those but dialog is very important to me in a campaign and this is almost unbearable.

I'll make an edit after I've played the maps to post my review.

Edit 1: The dialog only gets worse and another problem is it scrolls to fast when there is a wall of text but when there is a sentence it stays on it for a minute. Despite the dialog being utter crap I'd still like to read what's going on too bad I can't apparently unless I read quicker than light.

Edit 2: Difficulty seems to bee a little too much too early instead of a natural build up. I find it more annoying than challenging really since it's still easy to beat for WC3 player but would be too much for the casual player. Despite that I am enjoying the maps so far. Dialog is still annoying.

Edit 3: The difficulty actually is getting to be very annoying. There is no balance at all it just goes to Fuck you and after that Fuck you harder. I imagine by the end it will be I'm going to rape your butthole with no lube and you're going to take it over and over again. Anyone saying this could be a Blizzard campaign is very mistaken.

In my eyes this campaign gets a 3/10 sorry. Too many cons over pros to make me like this.

Final Edit: Actually I'm retracting my 3/10. This campaign doesn't even deserve a rating, it's that bad. Don't bother playing this campaign it will only annoy you. Whether it be the broken English, the not so creative terrain, the horrible difficulty, the tight and narrow paths, the fast text boxes that won't let you read etc. etc. Something will bother you in this campaign and if nothing does well then you sir have an iron will.

wow this is awesomeee :D !
but I found a bug, in chapter 6, whan I take kel'thusad to graveyard, if I press ESC, I can't see mine units, and than human go to horn and MISSION IS FUCKED

anyway it's 10/10 no other big bugs, campaign is only for pro players that play warcraft recently (like me) so begginers can't win this !

PS: can you make next chapter please :D ?
 
Very well done!

Strengths:
- each level is a little different, with some clever side quests
- the ending is actually dramatic and interesting! I prefer it to what Blizzard did in WoW
- variety of units made available for play
- challenging
- the jokes (mostly in the epilogue) were fantastic!

Weaknesses:
- the text goes too fast so it's difficult to read
- the text really needs to be edited by a native English speaker
- few custom units/spells
- I almost quit on the stage where you have to run Sylvannas away from the scourage (near the beginning) - it was extremely hard if you haven't discovered the ogre rescue side quest.

All in all a great and fun campaign. I enjoyed it very much. 4/5
 
Reviews and thoughts

Lord_Badass[TwH said:
Very nice.

Pros:
-Fun
-Difficult enough to be entertaining
-Characters stay true to their personalities
-Tells the story from all sides
-Inventive missions
-Nice effects on the Lich King

Cons
-Somewhat substandard dialogue at times
-Personally, i would have preffered if it had acknowledged the Bonus Campaign and did not include Admiral Proudmoore.
-I'm a bit OCD, so some lowercase names, grammar errors, and typos drove me crazy ha ha
-Some random stuff during the first few missions was in french for no reason at all. Luckily i speak it, but it might irritate some people


9/10
Click to expand...

When reading this post, I couldn't really agree with you more, lol :thumbs_up:. I'm also a bit OCD, thus the grammar errors made me go crazy as well. Either way, despite the grammar errors, I must say I enjoyed this campaign really, really much.
The gameplay was pretty much flawless, and I simply LOVED that you enabled us to play as
the Naga and as the Lord of the SCOURGE himself, the LICH KING,
which made this campaign unique in its own way. The first time I got to play with/as either of them stunned me, SOLELY out of excitement. I got soooo excited I can't even describe how excited I was, haha. All of the missions were terrific.

Last but not least, the reviews. This campaign gets a strong 9/10. The gameplay and terrain were really well-made. I enjoyed this campaign a lot, well done mate. Keep it up!
