I greatly enjoyed this campaign! Loved it! By the way, are you going to update the others campaign with voice actors?

ps: How come Uther can become the Silver Hand leader if he was a nut o_O

This campaign was more of a parody of the Reign of Chaos story, so not everything is supposed to make sense. As for the voice acting, we shall wait and see ;)

Umm.. Turnro, you wrote that most anti cheat system have been removed, and the player will instantly lose on hard difficulty if "WhosYourDaddy' cheat is used, but i used the 'SharpAndShiny' cheat, i also lost instantly too :\

I found a bug in Chapter 3: The New Enemy. When Rowan and his soldiers approached the Blademaster, at first he is invulnerable until the cinematics are activated; but once the Blademaster creates the mirror images he is still invulnerable while all the images have been destroyed...

Really? I just tested all the missions on Hard difficulty, and I did not lose when using the SharpAndShiny cheat.

- Which mission did you experience this bug, and how far were you into completing it?
- What was the exact lose message you got for cheating using both WhosYourDaddy and SharpAndShiny?

I have not come across this bug before. Did you skip the cinematic and, if yes, at what point did you skip?

Yes, I did skip the cinematic even before the Blademaster creates the images himself in it, and causes his actual form to be invulnerable (even to the extent of not attacking my troops). I restarted that chapter and wait for that cinematic to end and the Blademaster would have a vulnerable armor. I am not sure whether skipping the cinematic right after he created the images but before Rowan encouraging his troops would also cause the bug.

It was on the first and the second chapter, i skipped all of the cinematics too, i haven't finished the updated campaign yet, and the lose message is just the same for every cheat, i've tried every single one, if i'm not wrong it was
"No Cheating on Hard difficulty"

I'll look into this. Thanks for your detailed feedback.

It's interesting that you can't lose any cheats. Not only did I disabling almost all of them in the last patch, but I changed the losing description for WhosYourDaddy to "No using WhosYourDaddy on Hard difficulty".

When did you download the campaign to play? From what you have told me so far, it sounds as if you may be playing an older version of The Adventures of Rowan the Wise.

There was a bug in chapter 6 in case of book item. If Rowan holded it in the end of chapter 5, when chapter 6 started, there was no spell in the book. Re-picking book by dropping it on the ground would let heroes access all spells again.

Speaking of Swiftwalker Boots, it was unreasonable hard to get compared to other items such as Blessed Crown of Kings which is undoubtedly good.

Okay.. sorry turnro, it seems that i deleted the newest version of the game and played the old one, sorry, really sorry tho :vw_sad:

Edit : is it on purpose because why are my legendary items turning into normal items when i completed a campaign? My Ring Of Mastery that i got from chapter 2 just turned into the Helmet of the Watcher in the third chapter :\

Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about the Spell Book issue since it is an actual Warcraft 3 bug.

You used to be able to get the Swiftwalker Boots in a different part of Chapter 4 back in an earlier version. I changed it to where it is now because it was previously too easy to acquire.

The answer would depend on your circumstance. Did you replay the missions on Normal difficulty in order to catch-up to where you were from the previous version? If yes, you will have to replay the campaign on Hard difficulty and collect the legendary items again, as the items saved depend on the last time you completed the previous chapter.

If, however, you are playing the campaign again on Hard and you lost the legendary item in Chapter 3 after immediately playing Chapter 2, you may have encountered a bug in Warcraft 3 where the items for your heroes aren't saved properly after completing each map. I haven't looked into how to fix this issue, but you can try deleting the cache file in your Warcraft 3 folder directory and playing the campaign again.

File path example:
"Warcraft 3 -> save -> (Your Profile) -> TheAdventuresofRowantheWise.w3p"

This would, of course, delete the item data for the entire campaign so only do this if you are absolutely sure. If in doubt, make a backup copy of the cache file before deleting.

Somehow I still find it hard to destroy the Undead base in Chapter 3 Hard given the amount of forces combined by humans and high elves against the undead at any one time...

@Spell Book, could you trigger Rowan to drop the item and pick it back up before the gameplay begins to manually force a reset?

The campaign already does this. It just doesn't have any affect if the player moves the Spell Book into a new inventory slot after already possessing it (which means the book has to be dropped and picked up again).

Hey Turnro, i just beat your campaign on hard. It was excellent. I did not use cheats, the missions were extremely difficult (which was great), and i believe a key to winning this campaign on hard is to buy staff of silences + all the dispel items (spell books's dispel) staff of negation, etc.) Without them i don't think it is possible to win against all the unholy frenzy / mass summon. Fighting against all those necromancers also forces players to think about when they use the resurrection spell, which is nice =p

I won't lie though, when it came to the final mission, and i saw all those bases, i decided to be naughty, and send in the phoenix to the throne area, tp with tara with peasants in militia form to the egg, build a town hall, send all teams with full 24 squads to tp there, and won the game in less than 8 minutes. Except for this mission, i played all as they were meant to be played, and i never once resorted to cheats.

Fantastic campaign, thanks for the effort :p

Hello, I have a problem with the campaign. The problem is that, I finished 3 missions on hard difficulty, then took a break and did some mapmaking in the World Editor. The damned WE somehow destroyed my single-player profile and created 'WorldEdit' profile instead which of course had no progress in your campaign. Now how do I quickly restore my progress and get to mission 4 on your magnificent campaign, a true work of art I must say?

Thanks a lot guys, your work is great.

PS. As I said, my original profile somehow vanished (got overwritten or deleted) and I can't switch back to it.

Hi morganxl,

Every time you test a map using the World Editor, the game always changes your profile to 'WorldEdit'. To switch back to your original profile, go to Single Player through the game menu and then click on the magnifying glass icon next to the word 'WorldEdit'.

Hey Turnro!

That's what I thought would solve it for me the moment I had this problem. But unfortunately my original profile vanished and I couldn't switch to it obviously. I actually went to 'saves' folder in war3 root directory and there was my original profile BUT it had no saves related to the campaign or anything of the kind and basically was overwritten, I guess.

So anyway, are there some kind of cheats to advance through levels or maybe I can directly jump to mission 4?

First of all, try to reduce the difficulty level if it's so hard!
Secondly, there is no cheat which allow you to jump through mission, but there is a way!!
Open the campaign in the WE, and then where you will see all the chapters make them visible, usualy only the chapters one are visible.

finished 4 chapters, chap5 hard is hard !! Died 3 times already, need to use hotkeys and found out that i the hotkeys I set up don't work :( .
My hotkeys is similar to the default hotkeys, except for heroes abilities are QWER instead. The custom campaign force me to use the BQ for Town Hall - - and BW for rax ...

got chapter 5 done after the 5 fifth try, dang it
Macro was the wrong focus, I forgot that W3 is all about micro. Have to micro like a maniac to keep everyone alive. Lightning Orb and Hoods of Cunning.
Uther -> chicken , Wizard scam , this campaign has very dark humor, but again human socalled "elite" are not always the best

So far i have only got Seal of Protection and Gem of Regen, I think i must have missed 3 legendary items. I think there should be sidequest or hints for them, killing everything and turning every stone is too time consuming

I recall someone earlier mention the places, not so sure though.
All Chapter has 1 legendary item, except chapter 6 AFAIR, it has 2, where Ch10 (or 11?, last one) has none

Any strategy to get close to the Frozen Throne guys :ogre_frown:
Have been running around for several hours finding solutions but that God damn Frozen Throne is too dangerous, 428-580 Chaos damage with 1800 range and has an attack speed average of 2 time faster than a normal spirit tower :|
AND.... It CANNOT BE STOP using HORN OF THE CLOUDS (ITEM) & CLOUD (Dragonhawk rider)
20 Gryphon Rider + 20 Dragonhawk Rider = All gone in less than 3 mins
Any bright ideas =))
Yes I used "Iseedeadpeople" to look at that God damn thing :goblin_good_job:

I hear siege units are an ideal choice against the Frozen Throne ;)

Need help finding chapter 4 legendary artifact. Been looking everywhere, leaving only 1 survivor.

Yep found it. Destroying that base was a pain. By the way, are you planning to add patches for your other 3 campaigns to add legendary artifacts if played on hard difficulty? Finding these and using them are part of the fun :)

I believe I will :) I want to patch Jeopardy for the Horde later this year, so expect some legendary items to find in that campaign.

Just a hint, there is an ogre that drops the item. He only shows up when you get close to his position.

Cool Campaing

Hello, im going post a review of this camapaing that i played and its good(if theres any english error sorry for my bad language).

-First of all, bug
In an mission Rowan gain an unsable aura whit ''Tool Tip Missing'', and the image its like an bracelet

-Heroes
When i played the firsts missions i tough that they are normal ''heroes'', but whit each level, skill abilities and powerfull itens, they turned an real heroes
whit super ability, and not these heroes that die too easy

On my point of view, to me if goes rpg its like this: dwarf as warrior, normal elf as archer, blood elf as fire/destruction mage, mage of dalaran as frost mage, and finally, Rowan as paladin of healing and tank

One thing i love is the destruction of the blood elf mage, he turns everything to ashes whit its spell and phoenix(when it get lvl 3, man that thing is too strong)

-Maps
In some maps there's secret things that is cool, but if can, add more: only few maps have

On chapter 10, its some hard to control the races, if they was Ai will be more easy, but i win the game using heroes, because look more fun

The campaing changed much since last time i played(of course to better)

-Especial: The voices
I liked much when i listen to the voices, because its not all campaings/maps that have a difference character sound.Much better than listen to character that dont says nothing and only have subtitle.

-Final
Goin play more of you campains and going review(going try at least)
Rathe of 5/5
I like the three type of races
The dreadlord ''we should surrender'' its too fun
Epilogue was fun too

So this is all that i have to write to you, sooo...
See you later!
