played it and finished it on 2 day
first of first i played on 1.26
the campaign starts off small you are just doing some tasks to become a paladin and the 2nd mission its been 20 years since the end of the second war you got a title now that is the wise obviously anyway here is my take on the first mission and since the 2nd war wasnt so long over the footman should resemble more of the wc2 one same as the knight and other units will be better for lore sake.
now now the 2nd mission is crazy you kill some bandits some ogres and arthas comes and tells you uther is a chicken!! what?? at first i thought we will be battling the night elves and them coming to the alliance lands instead of the alliance first coming to them , is interesting then we reach the chicken farm i dont know if its intentional or not but the scene of the chickens and you dont know which is uther reminded me of the culling a reference possibly? since its said that arthas killed all citzens infected or not same thing here u kill chickens until uther is found he is beast to kill but there he goes then u kill maieve
and GG.
after that craziness of chasing uther we go to the mystical lands of the high elves i like the elven towns there is a charm that cant be described to them i see you used lily pads just like blizzard did on the elven buildings when we go invade their land in the path of damned funny how the blademaster just stand few feets away from you yet doesnt even attack you instead challenges you for a duel in the near hill bro legit could have taken the chance with rowan guard down but no well bevan healing is great early on.
we arrive at silvermoon and man damn the city has fallen! the music is unsettling as if its trying to tell the tragedy that befell this land walking among the burning buildings and cleansing the land from the dead with this music in the background was...a new experience the city is huge way more detailed than its original version in fall of silvermoon mission would pick this one over the original it was weird how there is survivors i mean the undead must have killed all then arthas shows up and well it was a trap for bevan F for the guy having now to stay in a prison with the rotten undead flesh in his face and their smell.
we go to dalaran now again much better city than the original this was a tough one even though i have my game modded with all units costing 1 food i was unable to go over 30 food for a while took me a restart to properly win so mistakes were made by thinking that holding the undead at the first gate is good idea and wasting money on southern area towers was bad 2nd time i fell back to the entrance behind the elevation did pretty well here it was easier to bottle-neck the green and the purple and man i cant believe we let all these people die! was truly a sad moment when that was said i liked this role we play as a paladin not going crazy and taking a cursed sword in middle of nowhere anyway u evac the city get the good loot and retreat further to hold the undead on a street that separates them from the gate very good place to bottle-neck the undead as tara just gets up on the little elevation and spam blizzard all day funny how we meet tara "who are you?" "im just a woman living here" "ok cool we defend city now" "ok" at first i thought her shield ability regenerates the caster mana then read the desc again and realized i read it wrong its supposed to regin the person whom the shield is casted on after some unpleasant wrestling with the undead the mission ends and the old wizard decides that the portal he was summoning is only for him to escape this version of antonidas is like a 180 degrees of the original i was shocked by his attitude even with the 2 mages that helped him! he deserved his ending and he had a son?.
now we are in the deep underground of dalaran this place just doesnt feel right and death revanants appear out of nowhere not a nice place to live in i took the north path and came across some golems who werent attacking , broke the gate and all of a sudden they lived this was a scary moment as they moved without them moving their legs imagine a static looking golem moving full speed at you while not even moving his legs ran away of course not fighting all those golems and you telling me goblins were living under dalaran ? WHAT? and the dreanai are also here ? WHAT WHAT? so after wiping the last out from existence the undergound secion was over too bad i didnt find what items were across the ruined bridge
after getting out of that hellhole fought some undead and mission over and hey its good to see the men we kept with bevan coming back to us so now we march to the capital city but meet arthas along the way after killing the demon gate summoner and an intense boss fight was really tough to beat but after that arthas goes away and now we are about to be gang-banged by abominations until the elves show up now called the blood elves after some talking with them we wipe out orange undead base the music here doesnt help at all and the land looks toxic and the village is just sad pretty good atmosphere i gotta say well done there.
so now tara and a footman and a knight got so close to silvermoon their stealth level must be very high after some funny conversation with the dreadlord asking his mindless undead guard to say something which the guard says.... some facts and rescuing bevan in the easiest rescue mission i ever seen tara is tasked with getting the silverhand to northrend in the meantime we and our boy logan have landed on northrend and made a nice camp but the elves are scared of this place! of course they are scared with some spooky looking trees and freezing temperatures and some unholy creatures lurk in these lands AND most importantly knowing its here where the undead scourge originated from you will be scared a lot anyway we meet up with some guy called nathan and man his voice acting is just too funny like the voice acting in the entire campaign is goofy but this takes the cake after baking our way through 2 fortified undead bases we now face an actual fortified undead base i wanted to find that healing item nathan talked about looked everywhere and killed everything that lived in the land problem was the undead would attack my base when im far away and at first i saw that 350 gold spent on a town portal were too much and better spent on a gryphon rider but after losing many gryphons to undead i saw that paying 350 instead of losing some more gryphons who cost about lots of gold isnt bad after using the gryphon riders to scout i found it and anubarak is guarding the room? what up with these dwarves makes the most nonsensical decisions? and the undead base is huge! easily the biggest undead i seen so far
so now we want siege engines yeah those are pretty dope units and rowan is a based human player who knows their value so he wants them cuz they great anyway it appears the place nathan stored them in isnt so empty in fact it crowded with nerubians and lets just say they were tough to fight constantly raising the dead and i had no way to dispel it i knew my normal units wont survive so kept them away from fighting and they came so handy when i needed that ring of protection +5 or the spell immune amulet or the orb of frost thats why you care for you men
now we facing faceless ones? ok fine time to wrestle with them too and i didnt lose any unit in both rounds just as i promised wont leave the labyrinth with any losses! but it was the end anyway.
now after we got these siege weapons we get an epic speech by rowan the alliance is back! with elves,dwarves,and humans united together against a common foe we strike at the lich king home turf the icecrown glacier itself this is a pretty tough mission the hardest so far 3 bases to micro was too much so i tried my luck with TPing the elves and dwarves to my base and then pushing with into the purple undead bases and there is a lot of undead that need to be purged after purging the undead and thankfully making 1 building for both elves and dwarves means they dont get defeated so you dont lose! but i wanted to avenge those 2 bases that fell to the scourge so i purged the undead all of them all of their bases with this i made these ex-undead bases alliance ones of course! and retook the elven base and made it a dwarf one and the dwarf one a elf one anyway now the time to kill the lich king once and for all has come , at first i thought this is gonna be a walk in the park but after seeing that the 5 undead heroes gather at the LK place i thought that i just need to kill them once and then smash the lich king the under the might of the holy light and the alliance but nope it took me 3 attacks to finish him off he is a tough nut to crack and the siege engines were so useful here no wonder rowan wanted them so badly.
and its just funny that malganis wanted to give up then arthas killed him , why you would you banish arthas he must have been executed at the spot! but oh well we just banish him too bad we didnt smack our hammer in his cold dead face 1 year later and the king of lordaeron is very ill we visit him and see the antagonist of the founding of durotar in the king castle to comfort him he assures us that the king will be taken care off and we see nathan again after a funny conversation ending up with him getting chased by the soldiers rowan is told to be the king! thats a big task!! first we ask if the holy light can help him but as said before the admiral assures us he will take care of king terenas and it ends up with someone opening a door king terenas begging someone not to do it and a sound of a stabbing that was shocking to hear admiral proudmoore is also a crazy man? like uther? and antonidas? .
quite a nice campaign man looking forward to try jeopardy of the horde
