This campaign has been updated.
These are the following changes I made:
- Added in more sound recordings (more details down below)
- Slight changes to dialogue
- Now added in the option to play the campaign in Normal or Hard version
- Any other minor changes to gameplay
- Re-edited AI for all maps except Chapter 10
- Slight changes to Ballista to make them more like the Ballista in Reign of Chaos
- Modified Shield Breakers, as well as giving them Resistant Skin. However, they are no longer immune to magic.
- Minor changes to terrain, especially Chapter 6
- Fixed a problem in Chapter 2 wher killing Uther did not complete the main quest
- Minor changes to cinematics
- Changed Blood Elf worker and Dwarf miner models
- Decreased the timing of the main quest in Chapter 5 from 45 minutes to 35 minutes
- Fixed problems referring to Rowan's and Bevan's custom sounds pathing
- Dragonhawk Riders now have reasonable health in Chapter 3 (before they only had 1 hit point!)
- Fixed pausing problems after cinematics in Chapter 7
- The hotkey for Shield Breakers from A to B has been fixed

If any of you read the map description, I tried adding in some screenshots but they just ended up as code. Any help?

There are now sound recordings in every chapter. There is just a couple of Tara's sayings that are yet to be done. In the next update, all the sound records will be included.

As pointed out in the map description, if you wish to play in Hard version, keep in mind that each time you complete a map and begin a new one, the difficulty will automatically reset back to Normal version.

For my other campaigns, an update for Resurrection of the Scourge will be available in a few months time. I am also considering updating Jeopardy for the Horde, mainly to do with adding in the option to select the difficulty. However, I am not considering adding this option for my Undead Campaign at the moment.

Remember, feedback is still much appreciated. I need to know of any bugs/errors or anything out of place so that I can take it into account in the next update.

For starters I'd like to begin with thanking you for the amazing campain. If every map maker was as good as you I could spend all my time playing custom campaigns.


I really liked it, I played it all on hard (made sure to enable hard after each map) and I had great fun. The maps were challenging without being to hard.

However, I did play after you changed Dalaran timer to 35 minutes. Did that really effect the map much? Because when I won I had my army placed at Oranges entrance, intercepting purple/green as they arrived without breaking a sweat. I also had large reserves of resources.


Same with the last map. Everyone says it was to hard, but I felt no such issues. All my heroes were virtually gods, The elves+human heroes could easily solo a base just the 4 of them. And after reds side was safe from attack it was a cakewalk.

Ok, I've just finished playing this campaign, and I must say it's a very good campaign. Good work, Turnro!

Full review:

[+] Custom voices for the characters and cinematics. This is a very nice detail, very blizzard-like. Arthas' and Rowan's voices were specially well done.
[+] Very well designed custom tech-trees for the different alliance races. I really liked controlling dwarven and blood elven bases.
[+] Nice imported models (specially the dwarves and the Ranger hero)
[+] Powerful heroes. The heroes' speciall non-hero abilities were a nice touch (Rowan's spell immunity, Nathan's ensnare, etc).
[+] The story was creative, interesting and fun.
[+] Retarded Uther was hilarious! and he turned into a chicken lol!
[+] In most (not all) levels, the difficulty was good. Challenging but possible, and overall well planned (see the negative part of the review for exceptions).

[-] Arthas was way overpowered! He had a spell that healed him back to full HP and summoned a bunch of invulnerable monsters, WTF?? Not to mention he's immune to magic. Sylvannas is also a bit too powerful.
[-] Chapter 10 was almost impossible! I had to cheat in order to see the end (I couldn't resist) you should consider tuning down the difficulty, prefereably by having more time between waves of attacks, less units per wave, removing some ziggurat towers from the fortress, and giving some more space between the player bases and the entrace to the fortress.
[-] The terrain in outdoor maps could really use some work. Try to open some of Blizz's original campaign maps in the editor (and play them) and pay careful attention to the terrain, to make yours more blizzlike. Blizz terrain feels much more... natural somehow.
[+-] Lore inconsistencies: Even for a fan-made alternate storyline, some stuff just seems out of place, like everybody is acting out-of-character.
- Why is Tyrande obsessed with conquering the world?
- Shouldn't Maiev be underground, watching over Illidan's prison?
- Uther was turned crazy by the Night Elves? Or was he already crazy before, and Maiev just focused his madness towards inocent civilians? (the story doesn't make this clear).
- Why is it that nobody is suprised by the existance of hostile, tall and blue skinned elves? Rowan and Arthas act like they've always known of their existance.
- How did Tyrande and/or Maiev know about the humans or the Eastern Kingdoms?
- How did Arthas become part of the scourge? why is he working with Mal'Ganis? Why didn't he kill his own father?
- Why is Antonidas a dick for no aparent reason? (besides comic relief)
- There are jungle trolls working with the Blackrock Clan. But they didn't join the Horde until Thrall traveled to Kalimdor. I know they are also present in the original Human campaign, but that's because of a mistake from blizzard, and you could have corrected that in your campaign.

Well that's my opinion on your campaign. I'm giving it a 4/5, but if you improve the terrain in some maps and moderate the difficulty, it can easily turn into a 5/5. You have talent and potential man, and I'd like to see your other campaigns upgraded to match the quality of this one.

EDIT: Changed the lore stuff from negative to neutral, since it doesn't affect the quality of the campaign in any way, and it's mostly explained.

First of all, I would like to thank you for your feedback, SidheKnight. I will work on those couple of things for the next update (like the terrain and difficulty).

There is one thing, however, I have to state:
[-] Lore inconsistencies: Even for a fan-made alternate storyline, some stuff just seems out of place, like everybody is acting out-of-character.

Indeed, this campaign may be off-lore, but most of it can be explained:

Tyrande, Maiev and the Night Elves
Of course, the idea of coming to conquer Lordaeron sounds non-night elven like. However, there is one thing I would like to point out. If you played Jeopardy for the Horde, you would have noticed that the Night Elves took over the Orcs in the Barren region of Kalimdor. What I am basically trying to say is that all of my campaigns connect to each other in several ways. While some things aren't explored in one campaign, it is answered in another. In relation to my Human Campaign, you don't get to find out Tyrande's true intentions, yet. It is all revealed in my upcoming Night Elf campaign, Furion's Quest.

Uther being crazy, Antonidas is out of character...
When I started making The Adventures of Rowan the Wise, I wanted to add humour into it. One way this was achieved was by changing the personality of a couple of characters. From my point of view, there was no harm in doing so, since Antonidas only played a minor role in the overall Warcraft storyline, and that Uther suddenly went mad, not as in he was always like that.

Arthas and his roll in the Scourge...
We all know the story. Arthas goes to Northrend where he takes up Forstmourne and becomes possessed by the Lich King. In my Human Campaign, there was no need to explore this. It is taken as something that is assumed. In Chapter 2, there is a time gap between defeating Uther and Rowan and the Silver Hand being sent to Quel'thalas, so anything could have happened. With Mal'Ganis, it is assumed that he didn't die and was left to live. On a side note, he is actually working for Arthas, not with him.

I have to agree with the Humans never seeing Night Elves before, though. I will try to fix that. For anything else that might seem non-lore like, just remember that one of the advantages of making campaigns is that you are in control and can make them however you want. There is no requirement saying that they have to fit in 100% with the storyline of Warcraft 3.

Ohh, I see now. I haven't played the Horde campaing yet. Antonidas is ok, since he really doesn't do much in the story. Uther being crazy I had no problem with. Mal'Ganis was just revived by the Lich King I guess.

I'm glad you're updating this campaign, maybe I'll be able to pass chapter 10 without cheats next time xD

I liked this campaign, great job on it overall. I liked chapter 10 because I used a strategy to solving it that is outside of the box. I think maybe the terrain could have just a little bit more detail in every chapter. I think the one thing I didn't like, but really never do like, is the Paladin's ultimate skill. The only place I found it useful was in the map where you battle the faceless ones, but that was the only map. When fighting undead, it's really a bit useless because they just use raise skeletons or animate dead and you really don't get a chance to use your ultimate. At level 3, it has the ability to raise I think like 18 corpses but if you're lucky/quick enough you get like maybe 1 or 2. In that, I would maybe suggest giving Rowan a different ultimate. More units or not with each level increase, that ability isn't much use against the undead. I would maybe suggest giving him a different ultimate. I don't know, maybe a mass damage spell targeted specifically on the undead like Mass Turn Undead or something. Kinda like the reverse of the elven ranger's mass heal spell except it is an offensive spell. Or it could be a completely different ultimate. This is of course entirely up to you. I don't know if anyone else thought the same about resurrection as an ultimate, I just know I didn't really find it very useful.

EDIT: Another thing I didn't find to be of much use was the scepter of healing, at least not in the last chapter. That is a common artifact that I've seen in several different games, except yours does not extend to heal heroes with it's aura. You might want to consider changing that, even if it's only like 1% instead of 2. To use it for just it's healing spell is really kind of a drop in the bucket when healing heroes. I know I for one just use my heroes when attacking because Sylvanas mind controls any units I bring, except ballistae of course, but those don't benefit from the aura of the scepter.

Like I said, overall I really liked this campaign. It was a bit difficult at times and there were a couple maps I had to try several times, but it forced me to try different strategies to successfully complete them. I like that. So all in all, keep up the good work.

Thank you.

Actually, side, I would like to help you and everyone else who is having trouble, because I am writing a guide to campaigns, similar to the Warcraft handbook. I will post it here, and in the social group. I am currently on chapter six, and as I have gotten much more skilled with my playing recently, I should be able to finish it, the campaign walkthrough will be finished soon, but I will need to transfer it off of it's holding place on my macintosh, you will soon be helped warcrafters, we are going to do much the same for starcraft campaigns, though there is no news of how that will playout yet. Thanks guys! Good job turnro!

In a week's time, I will be uploading e newer version of The Adventures of Rowan the Wise. Its main features include:
- Fixes to minor bug/errors
- Reduced the difficulty in Chapter 10 in Normal version
- Changes to terrain, to make them more natural and blizzard-like
- All custom voices for the characters will be included

I have been taking into account everyone's opinions and suggestions. There are a couple however that I haven’t completely agreed with, but I still looked into it.

[-] Arthas was way overpowered! He had a spell that healed him back to full HP and summoned a bunch of invulnerable monsters, WTF?? Not to mention he's immune to magic. Sylvannas is also a bit too powerful.

Arthas is only the normal strength of a death knight. He's healing ability is Death Pact, and he has Animate Dead. Not much to say, other then that although some enemy heroes may seem to be strong, don't forget that your heroes are strong too. Rowan is able to turn invulnerable for 60 seconds and if you equipt him with a Mask of Death, he is almost impossible to defeat!
With referring to Arthas, I have changes it so that the undead summoned by Animate Dead are no longer invulnerable.

I think the one thing I didn't like, but really never do like, is the Paladin's ultimate skill... When fighting undead, it's really a bit useless because they just use raise skeletons or animate dead...

I won't be changing Rowan's Resurrection ability. However, I have changed it so that the enemy undead do not use corpses as often. Ghouls and Abominations no longer have cannibalise, and the necromancers do not get upgrades in base missions, meaning that they do not get as much mana.
I will also be editing Resurrection a bit, so that it dosen't raise as many warriors. Instead, it will have a shorter cooldown so it can be used more frequently.

... I didn't find to be of much use was the scepter of healing, at least not in the last chapter. That is a common artifact that I've seen in several different games, except yours does not extend to heal heroes with it's aura. You might want to consider changing that...

When I first made this campaign, I made the Scepter of Healing able to heal all units. After first testing Chapter 9, I realised that the item made your heroes invincible! I didn't want this to be the case, but neither did I want to get rid of the item. The item is still useful, as it gives normal units increased hit point regeneration. If they didn't, you would come to realise that your units would drop like flies when versing the undead!

On a side note, The Adventures of Rowan the Wise has been on hive for some time, and it has not been approved yet. Are there any map testers or staff playing this campaign, because at this stage there is no reason why this campaign should still be pending.

This campaign has been updated.
These are the following changes I made:
- Added the final sound recordings. All custom voices have now been added in.
- Minor changes to existing sound recordings.
- Fixed a problem in Chapter 3 where the Bladsmaster would disappear after using Mirror Image.
- Edited AI for enemy bases in all chapters in Hard version.
- Exceptional changes to terrain.
- Attacking the Night Elves in Chapter 2 is no longer an optional quest.
- Edited the following hero abilities:
Resurrection: Cooldown decreases with each level, but does not raise as many warriors as it used to.
Mass Teleport: Cooldown decreases with each level.
Avatar: Cooldown still increases with each level, but not as much as it used to.
Wounding Arrow: Mana cost does not increase with each level.
- Shield Breakers no longer need to have Storm Boulder researched in order for them to use the ability.
- Shield Breakers can now gain the Improved Storm Boulder upgrade, which increases the damage and stun duration of the ability.
- Changes the model of Gyrocoptors.
- Replaced Troll Headhunters with Forest Trolls in Chapter 1 (for storyline reasons).
- Decreased the difficulty of Chapter 10 in Normal version. The Lich King is no longer immune to magic, enemy heroes do not have items, the number of towers have been reduced, and the unit numbers in Arthas' and Kel'Thuzad's base has been reduced by 50%.
- Numerous minor gameplay changes.
- Due to gameplay reasons, Logan's Phoenix ability is disabled for the first part of Chapter 8.
- Fixed a problem where the High Elves in Chapter 3 would only attempt to attack the Undead once and not send additional reinforcements.
- Decreased the damage Arcane Towers deal in Chapter 1.
- Rowan no longer gets revived at the Sunwell if he gets killed Chapter 1. Instead, the player looses the mission.
- There is now background music at the start of Chapter 7.

Now that the campaign is complete, I will not be updating it for a while. However, feedback is still accepted.

I will now be spending the next few months updating my Orc and Undead Campaigns. At this point, I have not decided which campaign I will update first, but I will make an effort to work on my Undead Campaign.

Over the last few months, I have been gaining ideas for my Night Elf Campaign. In my opinion, the Night Elf Campaigns in Warcraft 3 tend to be my least favourite, which is why I have decided to be a little more creative with the gameplay. I can't give away much since I have not started working on the maps, but I have been working on the units and their spells. The campaign will also have DOUBLE the amount of maps compared to my previous ones.

It's perfect ! you know a couple of mistakes maybe* but I like it :)

Btw, the last chapter in fact it's "hard" :) but with a strategy it turns VERY easy :D, of course that is not funny because the main atractive is defeat the "big" undead base, that strategy it is focused in the lich king only, and the base it is not touched!

anyway 5/5 (Y)!

You opened it with world editor and you pressed the "test" button. The test button will only test the map with any custom content on said map. It will not include any imports made via campaign editor.
amirite?

The only explaination is if the map was opened and either tested or edited (and saved, of course). You may be right, but the doodads in the preview screenshots aren't imported.

Code:
I didn't edit it or (even) open it in World Editor .. I just finished playing Chapter 1 and it load to chapter 2, then I got the doodad problem...
That's all

Well, I played this campaign a second time and the updated version fixed its most pressing issues. Now that the black spots are gone, I give it a full and totally deserved 5/5. Great job.

A side note: in mission 10 Sylvanas can use her ultimate on shieldbreakers, who are supposed to be immune to magic.

I look forward to checking out the elves campaing.

You can actually use Charm on a unit that is immune to magic. It may seem wierd though since Banshee's can't use Possession on magic immune units, but it has always been like that. Play the Scourge campaign and use Charm on a Destroyer and see what happens if you don't believe me.

Fair enough, though I assume that might be fixed. Anyway, this is really a minor issue that doesn't affect the game by any stretch of immagination.
My personal preference, go for the elves campaign.
 
As a member of the Group Map Reviewers, I will be reviewing campaigns/cinematics :

[+] Voice Acting
[+] Nice way of learning spells
[+] Nice dialogues
[+] Different types of quests
[-] Not a lot of custom spells
[-] Flat Terrain
[-] No intro

This campaign is actually pretty fun to play and has a lot of potential but there are some things missing, for example a proper intro, or custom spells and the terrain needs some work.

Final Rating : 3/5
Status : Approval

Turnro,

I highly enjoyed playing your campaign. I was expecting a very difficult campaign when I read some of the comments; but I found most levels to be very do-able. I really like that some chapters call for various strategies to get the job done. For example, chapter 5 was really easy once I retreated to the camp.
Chapter 10 had me on my toes for an hour :p and was a very fun map to play. Here you did a good job of challenging the player to find his own strategy aswell. Personally I find that controlling three bases is a bit overwhelming. The first time around I let the dwarf camp bite the dust as I was swiping the undead from the east; but I suddenly lost the game as I wasn't supposed to do that. I can understand why you chose to make a multiplayer version of this map.

The level 20 hero thing is both good and bad. In the last few chapters I was just owning with my Heroes. I didn't need the units anymore to back them up*. The +6 armor boost and healing of Rowan in combination with any hero was nearly invincible, especially with all the artifacts on him. I guess that makes the earlier investments searching for items worth the effort though.

Although playing with the regular units, you made some important changes that set your campaign aside from other maps a bit. The use of team color, extending the dwarves, the ranger hero, the level 20 cap and the custom unit soundsets** made the Silver Hand come to life.
I didn't really like the hurl boulder ability on the Dwarf Shieldbreaker. It doesn't fit it's tank strategy and therefore seems a bit random. Anyways, if you can upgrade the ability add a level in the tooltip.

In the underground level I suggest removing Possession from the ghosts. I went back with the goblins to check for items and my alchemist got posessed, costing me the game. Also, you could put in a few more puzzles to fix with your heroes. Kudo's to the teleport one, though.

Good luck on your NightElf campaign. If you need some creative help let me know.

* (Also, they were just being killed rapidly by the huge amount of enemies :p)
**(the Bloodmage soudset made me laugh: "do you see something", LOL)

It's good to see that you are giving me feedback, just as I gave you feedback on your campaign. I will remove possession, since I thought I got rid of it eariler.

I also see you found the secrets in Chapter 6. The map itself is not suppose to be full of puzzles, but it might be considered when I upload the campaign next time.

Well, feedback may be an overstatement :p I just love to place some random thoughts after playing. Sometimes they might even be fun to read :p

I made a custom skin which replaced the skin for Dagren's model.

2. slight bug: after finishing this i went to play the rexxar campaign and Jaina had Tara's voice

That's a wierd bug. My say would be that it is a bug in Warcraft 3. If you want to fix it, get out and get back into the game.

Loved the campaign! Gj :D Though the voices sent chills down my spine due to some being really awkward, tara for example. Other than that, very nice and challenging campaign :D

Hey, i found on the internet an old campaign of yours. It's called Furion's Quest , but there is only one map Legion of the Betrayer. i liked it. If it's finished, could you upload it on the Hive? I'd like to play the entire campaign.

I played the campaign a few weeks ago, and decided to do a small review.

Gameplay: The standard WC III campaign gameplay, which is fine with me. Never gets old.
And the AI is great. Really hard in some missions. More custom (triggered) spells would've been nice though.

Terrain: Good enough, but could be improved. Adding more environment doodads and props would be great.

Cinematics: The dialogs are good (except for some minor grammar issues), but the cameras could use some work. Cinematics are the best way to show off nice terrain, big fights, etc. But I saw none of that (not that I can remember, at least).

Voice-acting: Good. :)

I give it a 3.5/5.



I don't agree with this though: ''Voice acting - A feature that you will only find in the very best of campaigns!''

Some of the best (if not the best) campaigns on this site do not have voice-acting. Campaigns like Shards of Resistance, The Last Guardian, The Coming of the Horde, etc.

When I first looked at uploading maps onto the Internet, I experimented by first uploading Legion of the Betrayer. It is for that reason why I didn't upload it onto Hive.

There have been points where I got inspired to make my Night Elf Campaign, which explains why I made the map. It is also the only map of the campaign I made and looking back on it, I will have to make some changes to it eventually.

I won't properly start making the campaign until I have finished my Undead Campaign, which may take a while.

This is an excellent parody of some of the most horrible custom campaigns out there.
I mean this story has just so many flaws that I am tempted to believe these flaws were all planned out.
Nevertheless, the creator still succeeded in creating a fun gameplay to deliver this parody. Good job.

One little mistake though is that the Goblins can be possessed on the underground mission and if you get a Goblin possessed and then you kill it, you make yourself fail the game.

Hello Turnro.

I really enjoyed playing this campaign. I'm giving it definite 5/5.
Although, i found a little.. bug?
When i was playing chapter 6, at the very south, there are bunch of wraiths. Razzil, the bodyguard of the goblins leader Tek got possessed by one very easily and the campaign was lost. Shouldn't he count as a Hero or something?
