Maiev and her watchers arrived in the ruins of the orcish homeworld, Draenor. They soon discovered that Illidan had come alone, thus the recapture proved to be fairly easy. Then the naga had arrived on Outland, and they had brought new allies: the same blood elves that Maiev had helped before. Maiev and her soldiers fought the naga and their traitorous elven friends, but the new army outnumbered hers, and eventually she was defeated. The naga and blood elves recaptured Illidan and freed him. Upon the warden's final moments, Illidan decided to imprison her instead.Soon after that, Maiev would be contacted by Akama, unsatisfied by not being given the Black Temple as promised and the wary Maiev agreed to enter a partnership and vowed to see Illidan dead.

Finally finished it.
Black Temple and Final Illidan battle was great. Shattrath in epilogue, particularly that quest and spiders and wolfs around city gave me such nostalgia, i still know most WoW maps like my fingers lol.
I wish i played more with Tirasalah and Sereia, i found that RTS aspect was a bit lacking, more techtree and minions, more maps to expand in the middle of the campaign. A bit too much interlude, didn't need interlude for every 2 maps.

In chapter 5, Aldor AI was bit OP. It can attack alone and clear bottom left camp then complete quest and recruit Avians for me.

TLDR : I enjoyed it, but 2-3 more maps in the middle would pace this campaign much better.

It is a good Custom Campaign but.... hahh. you know, there should be selected difficulty button before enter the game rather put it in game over dialog box. I'm tired play from the start again. No need to die if you want to change difficulty i mean. The problem is, it is hard difficulty when i start playing.

Hey Sclamerz!
I just made this account so that I can congratulate you. This is a very good custom campaign. It was very hard for a casual player for me, but this has a lot of potential. Thank you for uploading it.

Finished the campaign some days ago and holy damn it was enjoyable!

There are two things that make this campaign stand out from the rest for me:

1. The difficulty

I'm somewhat of a comebacker to War III after about a 9 year break, this being the first campaign/game I played. At first the difficulty was a discouraging factor, especially the first part of the prison level, the tight corridors, the huge damage on my weak heroes and units. It changed however quite quickly once I got used to it, from "kicking me while I'm down" to "great and riskful attempts at glory." It was not this impossible/irritaiting hard like most campaigns end up doing, instead it made me feel that: "Sure, I'm not thriving, but atleast I'm alive!" king of feeling, which I greatly enjoyed. The creativity of the multible blockades on the journey also helped alot on making it fun.


2. The Coop

I have always liked having a AI-teammate in campaigns. Personally, most of the time that you have one (which is almost never), they are done wrong, playing this very passive role that makes you wonder why they are there at all, and god forbid, that you have to babysit. In this campaign however they actually play a key-role in your survival, together with the difficulty, it feels like you and the AI got eachothers back, helping defend the others base, etc. And that you had a teammate for most of the campaign vs. this seemingless unstopable horde of enemies, just two thumbs up.


A honourable mention is the last three missions, the siege of black temple, the rpg-ish boss battles and the highly relatable "hero of the day, go pick flowers for me" mission. All these three have made it into my heart.

Only -Con I really have is the defend mission from Illidan's forces. My reasons being:
  • Too overwhelming attacks/ Your units being too weak, I would suggest giving your and your allies some kind of passive ability that buffs your units, examples being health/mana regen or bonus armour/attack.
  • Babysit your allies (Blood elf base), not only did I need to defend my own base but I had to have a constant army in BE's base as they could bearly survive the very first wave and could not rebuild fast enough for the next attack.
Absolutly wonderful campaign, would love to play more of your future work.

I also replayed this campaign with the new patch, it's still a very good one, very similar to Tomaraider's work
I'll only mention things I disliked because overall I really envoyed this campaign

My main complain is the unit path: sometimes my allies are blocking my path and we also have to take narrow path to push into ennemies bases, which make things harder.

- chapter 2: the ennemies attack shouldn't be so frequent (it's the 1st macro mission and the player needs to get used with the tech tree)
- chapter 5: our allies shouldn't be able to complete the main quest by their own (I barely managed to complete the side quests because of this)
- chapter 6: I had to face a huge Illidan's attack and at the same time blood elves and naga air units attacked my expansions
also near the end of the timer the naga ignored my allies and attacked my base from the rear (it was very frustrating)
the doom guard dropped a sturdy axe and I think I got another bloodbane armor when I first played (is it random?) and why the secret item is a useless amulet?

This took me a while uploading.

Hi!

I really like your work! :)

The campaign that you created was very entertaining. It was "TEAM" based.

Sometimes the missions were very difficult like the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd one.

Just a small recommandation to make it better and fluid. :)

1st Mission: Less orc warriors or more ally units
2nd Mission: During the base building at least 3 "Wisps" or one more "Moonwell".
3rd Mission: Was hard but Good! No need to change :)

Thanks for the Great Campaign!

I hope you will create more Campaigns!

:):):):):)

An early review after 4 missions. Note that despite me disliking outland terrain, I rather liked your campaign so far. I'm mostly pointing out things which are wrong to help you fix them.

Obviously, there is no difficulty selection in your campaign. While this is not really an issue for me, some player may like the option to have an easier difficulty for some missions (or if some future missions are easier, an harder one).

Some carefulness is needed as your units as very frail compared to the orcs, but there is no major issue. I also found Timmy the Frog.
This chapter offers interesting balance.Trying to defend your base is frustrating because of the numerous enemy attacks. However, the enemy bases are lightly defended, so it's not hard to overwhelm them. Instead of a passive defensive attitude, being aggressive and striking as soon as possible to destroy the light-grey base does wonders.

I take issue with the base building at the beginning, however. The positions of the initial buildings are simply awful. The life ancient should be more to the left, and the ancient of war should not at all be in the top-right, where it is an hindrance to movement. Sure, you can unroot your buildings and change their positions, but the default one should not be bad.

Generally speaking, there are a lot of issues with units collisions in the narrow outland paths, and it can get really frustrating really fast.
Found the flying sheep ! Now, this mission is quite similar to the previous one : attacking fast to take out the brown base makes your life easier. Once again, collisions when moving get very annoying.

There are others issue. The bridge north of the draenei base is not at the correct height ; if you move units over it you will notice that they suddenly change height. The "Over the Mountain quest" has two errors in its text. One is a small typo, "atleast" instead of "at least". The other is "After finding the Sha'tar for days" instead of "After searching the Sha'tar for days".

The sidequest tells you you need an invulnerability potion, but what you really need is a minor invulnerability potion. This is slightly confusing.
Having changed the orientation of the map messes up with the minimap. Whatever you wanted to achieve with this move is, in my opinion, not worth it compared to the huge annoyance of the direction in the main view and the minimap not matching.

There is another thing which I absolutely hate in any mission - the spectres taking control of your units. The usual solution is to use only your heroes to kill them and to keep your other units in the back. However, this mission suffers heavily from collision hindrance to movement (I'll never repeat this enough, this is one of the most common flaws across the 100+ W3 campaign missions I played) and has spectre appearing in your back, meaning that escaping is extremely hard. Really ?

However, there are two excellent things in this mission, in my opinion. First, the riddles. They were all logical enough, and it was very satisfying getting the right answers (even more to find the "horizon" one before even having the 4 choices).

Then, the cutscene before the inferno monster apparition is absolutely great, with the voice, the camera and the music together. Your camera effects are undoubtedly of a very high quality in this campaign.

How's progress on 2.0?

Extremely slow.

Thanks for playing and for the long feedback. Gonna keep those things in mind.

Negative things : AoE Stun from Akamar is too op because it's instant cast as well as maiev's first ability.
Challenge isn't that great because of the stun combo you can do.
It kinda gets borring to play so often against these warlocks with unholy frenzy.
I have enough of that already from the dwarven campaign etc...
The NPCs are kinda stupid:
I can tank with my tree of life alone while I repair it with my wisps.
I don't even need to protect my main base.

Postive things: Great models, terrain looks nice and not borring.
Also the atmosphere and music are great.

I rate it 3/5

Thank you, I'm pleased that you like the campaign.

Hey, I really loved the campaign so far. I have a few questions though. Is the fountain in the first mission destroyable on purpose?
Also, Could you post or at least send me the list of secret items? Cause I spent a while trying to kill Timmy the Frog and breaking the Fountain to find an item.

I'll give you all some hints.

Secret Items are:
1. The item from timmy the frog.
2. Ring of Light (Chp 3)
3. Arcane Ring (Chp 4.1)
4. Arcane Shield (Chp 4.2) - this is quite tricky to obtain. hehe
5. Spell Shield (Chp 6)
6. Demon Book (Chap 7)

I think that's all the items as far as I remember. Happy finding them specially the 4th item lol.

In case of a question I've posted here a while ago WoW plot in the WC3. Suggestion - cover other DLC's plot (i.e. after Wrath of the Lich King). Apparently no one has such plans yet... But in terms of user demand - these are some of the most popular onces.

Well, for one creating such campaign is not easy. If you're looking for the campaign of Tides of War which was built around Mists of Pandaria but the author deleted it, I think.

Perhabs someone can help you? May be cooperate with tomoraider But seems to he don't want to produce something new anymore... Also. You can start from one campaign, i.e. cover 1 more DLC and see how it goes.

I don't know the name of it... So. Some info I've found about one that you have mentioned:

1. Tides of War 2.0. Still available for download. It's based on the book? I.e. not DLC plot?
(?). 2. There also was a sequel that was never finished, I suppose. Topic here: [Campaign] - Shadows of the Horde

Desription from another site:
Dark and terrible news arrives in Jaina's favorite city, Theramore. The artifact of one of the most powerful strong dragons in the world was stolen. The name of this artifact is the Focusing Iris. To solve the mysterious disappearance of the element, Jaina works with a former patron of the Dragons. Now two brilliant heroes will have to find an artifact and punish thieves!

3. That guy DarkRanger2 planned something about Legion DLC. But idea was never finished in the end product as I can see.
4. Battle for Azeroth plot campaign (?) from same guy here: [Campaign] - Even Death may die.

Don't know much details. So if someone can confirm that facts - I can add that links to the main list here WoW plot in the WC3 then.

Well, I for one have no plans to make another campaign of any kind at the moment.

That's the one. Based on the book, yes.
