[PrinceYaser]

IS this like one of those story decision theme campaign?

What do you mean?

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Alternate stories where one decision can change the storyline

 

[ArchDuke]

This sounds interesting, I'll play it when I have some free time

 

[PrinceYaser]

This sounds interesting, I'll play it when I have some free time

Be sure to give me your ideas and suggestions.

 

[ArchDuke]

[Daffa]

[PrinceYaser]

So, is the second chapter up? Kinda miss the updates here.

Yeah, Chapter 2 is ready and done the terrain of chapter 3.

 

[Lord Siler]

This is one well done campaign, I support it, very good work

 

[Daffa]

Will try it when I have time.

This is actually quite nice but there are some problems for me even though it is an early version :
1. Terrain : Lacking and making it clear it isn't finished yet but it can use some work. Ex. Chapter 1's main quest village is...flat. It has doodads and all that but it's plain flat.
2. Grammar : Seeing a lot of grammar mistakes for example "that bastards" it should be "those bastards" (I do not want to be offensive in any way,just stating my opinion) Do not use "that" for plural,use that for pointing out objects and stuff,for example : That is my friend.
3. Gameplay : Not gonna say anything about that kind of stuff since it is an early version.
4. The commander to have a more royal looking model then the Queen is something I wouldn't like seeing. The queen should look more royal cause the Warden unit(not hero) model in my eyes doesn't look good in any form of royalty but if you already don't have in mind to keep the Queen's model that way then just forget about all the stuff that I have said at 4.
5.I don't like that in chapters you already have the map explored(considering even if it's still in early version),make it un-explored so that you don't already know where exactly to start going,cause I just simply hate to not explore around and look for more secrets.
Overall a good campaign so far,those are all that I don't like so far,hope you keep it up and wish to see this become a very good campaign. Even though I think this is your first campaign I think you can actually make something good out of this.

 

[PrinceYaser]

Hello, guys!
Sorry if I did not work more on this campaign!
Now, I've started to work on it. I'm making the terrain of chapter 3:

Chapter 3 Terrain

The whole map won't be just these parts.

How is the terrain so far, guys?

 

[Neruvatar]

FOLLOW! I always love Night Elves and Naga!

 

[PrinceYaser]

Some more terrains, guys:

Chapter 3 Terrain

 

[KamyarAI]

This terrain totally GORGEOUS

 

[Rufus]

This terrain totally GORGEOUS

I can't say I completely agree with you. It is good, but could be better.
I know that you can do even better @PrinceYaser; I've seen it before.

 

[PrinceYaser]

This terrain totally GORGEOUS

Thanks, man!

I can't say I completely agree with you. It is good, but could be better.
I know that you can do even better @PrinceYaser; I've seen it before.

I'll try to make it better. Thanks for the encouragement!

 

[Daffa]

Is the latest version attached to the first post?

 

[PrinceYaser]

Is the latest version attached to the first post?

No, it's still in progress.

 

[OblivionDeadra]

Well i test that before (From my old account Kjmaster) and i say the campaign it's semi okay i guess... but the terrain is flat and not enough so night elf nature feel.

 

[Lord Siler]

good stuff

 

[PrinceYaser]

Attention:

The project will be stopped and won't be worked more on. Maybe until the next notification(But I doubt I'll work more on this). Or maybe I'll come back with new and better ideas.

Thread will be closed!

 

[Neruvatar]

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[KILLCIDE]

Thread re-opened on request.

 

[Daffa]

Smells like a resurrection

 

[PrinceYaser]

Okay guys, I'm working on this project again. Updated the first post with the latest version of the campaign.

Latest Changelog Until Now

1. Fixed some grammar mistakes
2. Fixed some trigger and gameplay bugs
3. Fixed some of the location leaks except in the chapter 3
4. Added some progress of the chapter 3
etc.

 

[OblivionDeadra]

This is a creative and interesting custom campaign and I recommend other people should follow and support if possible.

There are a few things that bother me however. I can fully understand that this is an early build so I won't say anything bad about it considering the amount of effort and time that went into it.
The English is weak and the character lines are flat, I assume that the author isn't a native English speaker. There area a lot of grammar issues and weird sentence structures such as: " Yes, In this place I have a friend" instead of "Yes. I have a friend nearby"; or in chapter 2 "So this is the Soul of Elune that bastaerd Goddess of the Elves. Doom Guards you must guard this soul very well" or "You bastaerd Night Elves, our Master have destroyed your kingdom" instead of "You bastard Night Elves, our Master destroyed your kingdom". There are many errors to point out nonetheless.
The maps need a little bit more immersion to make you feel like you are in Night Elf territory, I know how hard decorating a map is and how much time it consumes but the end result makes you feel more immersed in the story and the landscape.
I was a little bit disappointed there were no secrets on the maps. The Warden hero has the blink ability and I hoped I could find some goodies on the map if I teleport around a bit such as hidden tomes or little items. Though it is an early build and there is always room for improvement or adding little things to reward the player.
The cinematic scenes are well made, I have to just point that out. I've tried a lot to get a hang of making a decent cinematic but always failed or it came out wrong. The angles give you a good look over the scenes and what's happening.

Bugs that I've found (or are probably known):
- Thaalaria's first skill shows that it deals 0 damage in a line and has no mana cost. Despite the tool-tip error, the skill does damage to units if cast and will show its mana cost if you skill it.
- Thaalaria's skills have no level requirement. You can max up any skill you want early on.
- Chapter 3 has no intro/mission message in the loading screen (though this might not be a bug I've decided to mention it)
- In Chapter 3, the Felguards that spawned were friendly to me though I believe they were supposed to attack me.
- In Chapter 3 the gates can be broken without you going after the Power Key in the Satyr camp. The tool-tip still pops up but you can pass through the gate if you broke it.
- In Chapter 2 after you capture the Soul of Elune the Legion no longer attacks you and becomes passive.
- In Chapter 2 Queen Eralia and Hyenia Sagebranch both reached level 7, when I got to Chapter 3 Queen Eralia was level 3 and Hyenia was level 4.
- In Chapter 3 the Nature Orb quest gives you no reward (I was expecting to get to train the Glave Captain custom units as a reward).

On a personal note: Thaalaria is a very strong hero. As long as she has her mana up or has mana regen, your army is almost unkillable because of her second skill. I also find it odd that her passive skill gives her Crit and Evasion since she's an intelligence hero though I believe that if she had Brilliance Aura (not to mention her high intelligence gain per level) that would have made her really broken considering she could spam her first and second skill to no end.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not a native English person. I think I need someone to do this.

Hmm, I'll try to make it more Night Elvish.

The Warden hero has the blink ability and I hoped I could find some goodies on the map if I teleport around a bit such as hidden tomes or little items. Though it is an early build and there is always room for improvement or adding little things to reward the player.

Of course, there are always rooms for improvement. Thanks for the ideas!

Good.

- Thaalaria's first skill shows that it deals 0 damage in a line and has no mana cost. Despite the tool-tip error, the skill does damage to units if cast and will show its mana cost if you skill it.

Yes, I was about to fix this but I always forget it. :C

- Thaalaria's skills have no level requirement. You can max up any skill you want early on.

Will be fixed soon.

- Chapter 3 has no intro/mission message in the loading screen (though this might not be a bug I've decided to mention it)

Yeah, I didn't write it still.

- In Chapter 3, the Felguards that spawned were friendly to me though I believe they were supposed to attack me.

Really?? Will fix it.

- In Chapter 3 the gates can be broken without you going after the Power Key in the Satyr camp. The tool-tip still pops up but you can pass through the gate if you broke it.

Ah, I had to make it invulnerable.

- In Chapter 2 after you capture the Soul of Elune the Legion no longer attacks you and becomes passive.

Well, I'll think about this.

- In Chapter 2 Queen Eralia and Hyenia Sagebranch both reached level 7, when I got to Chapter 3 Queen Eralia was level 3 and Hyenia was level 4.

This seems to be from spawning new heroes, I must fix it by using caches, I think.

- In Chapter 3 the Nature Orb quest gives you no reward (I was expecting to get to train the Glave Captain custom units as a reward).

Will fix it.

Thank you for your review!
