Congratulations, Turnro! Your campaign(s) is so popular, there are comments here from this week!
Outstanding.
I remembered, that you helped me in the past. I finished your first campaign, I will write an objective, logic-centered review.
Interesting parts marked with purple.
First, I quote this comment about the nature of the fan-fiction:
This looks to me to be an alternate warcraft story(there sure are a lot of THOSE) where horde never took off to Kalimdor. Although I question if he filled in all the plotholes resulting from making such a "seemingly simple yet so complicated" change in the storyline(if the horde never went to kalimdor several things have to be accounted for that are now ripped out and replaced, think of history like a pool of ripples. Take out one small detail and you remove everything that is related to that event. With the orcs never leaving Kalimdor, that's a BIG ripple, as everything in the third war is based on that event transpiring. I know this may be a little complicated but I want you to understand when time is changed how complicated things become. In my guess you probably didn't fill in every plothole.
Plot review use the quoted method.
I saw "ripples" many times here, they are horrific, mostly when I saw/played substandard maps. I can tell for the people, if the forumreaders will not accept the review, I will surely not begin to create a new campaign. So leave the old make better responses, because that is so irrelevant. Waiters surely not tell this to the guests, when they have real problems with the food or the drink, but I can say this for all product.
I begin with the gameplay:
Map 1: This is easy... bandits are easy to defeat. I quickly collected the skills from that cool little pool from Strahnbrad maybe? Later, when younger Rowan collects more power, he will take his first challenge. I successfully completed the quest by defeat the orc base.
IP: 1. This is anime/eastern cliché - End of the training, the apprentice went to his quest. Not a too big deal, just a mention.
Map 2: I will write for this more in the plot section: Second map is about to build a base for Prince Arthas. 7 minutes is barely enough to build buildings and upgrade the center building (Town Center). Later I found the chicken Uther and I deal with him with relative ease. I do not listen to the night elves too much, however I claimed the box items.
Map 3: This is a hard map. I went to the high elf base, then there I followed the way to the second one. Here I met with Bevan. He is an useful hero, because of his mass-healing spell. His other spells are not so useful like the heal spell. His ultimate the arrow shot is however useful. I was able to deal damage to the necromancers and the banshees with this arrow shot. The green undead base are hard to destroy.
Map 4: This map is easy, I just met with the dwarves and head to save the 20 high elf in Silvermoon. I however appreciate the original-esque Silvermoon, I found weird the WOW Silvermoon and found horrific to the substandard map Silvermoons. I fought here many undeads, Bevan's heal ability come in handy. I completed this map.
Map 5 - Here I receive a Jaina copy...

Why you not use a skin at least? There are so many Jaina skin. Otherwise her abilities was useful, at least. The Frost Bolt saved the hero from the death some time, so I needed to ressurect them fewer times. In this map I barely used Ivory Towers. I trained Knights and Gyrocopters... anyway Knights was the most useful units in the early maps. Here, they saved me again. I able to hold off the Undead.
I failed in the optional quest, in the plot part I will mention that quest as an attempt and not reveal anything.
Map 6 - Hard mission, I barely fought my way through those revenants and skeletal creatures. In the end of the road, I saw goblins. With the goblins I needed to assault the draenei base? Well that was extra hard, their boulder towers and salamanders nearly killed the heroes... but I defeated them in the very end.
Map 7 (playable 7th) - In this map I needed to deal the demon summoner Kel'Thuzad first. What happened his voice? This voice recordings are somewhere interesting, but look like a 80's European film with that "narrative" sound. When I storm through the gate and quickly kill Kel'Thuzad, a video-game style fight begun between Arthas and Rowan. Why?
IP2: This idea stole the uniqueness... looks like I am playing again 312321312th RPG, where the boss send the mobs first and he only show up to a brief.
Later Arthas left him and Rowan met with the Kael copy-replacement, called Logan. It is really necessary? Well by using the high elf units, I able to clear the orange base.
Playable 8th Map - How I supposed to do this? Answer: Run through bases. Even if Rowan and Nathan
(Creepy voiced dwarf, totally not early Muradin copy, only joke

) means a considerable force, six units are not able to defeat two large bases, so I ran through them. I reached the grey base and begun to prepare to defeat the enemy, that was not too hard.
Playable 9th Map - This map is grrrr... hard! I need to save it sometimes in order to prepare myself to reload it. How a few unit can destroy a large bases, even if the heroes are super-powa strong. Well... I successfully entered the Labyrinth, there there are easy puzzles, nerubians await me. I found the Steam Tanks and later I reached to the Round One mission, I planned to avoid, that trap, but I accidentally controlled Rowan to there and now then I defeated 45 enemy. In there Nathan nearly died 46 times. I however make my way to the end, in there the Faceless Overlord was a real challenge.
LAST MAP - FROZEN THRONE :O This is what? First time I thought it was a joke, but not... Rowan collected the alliance AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENE OF THE CAMPAIGN, he united them. I not able to make that scene in that quality. When everybody used the victory animation, that is heartwarming with the speech and the music. I will write it and more to the plot part. This map is hard, really... really hard. Or I use soft words? It was really-frenetically hard. I controlled three bases, I felt that the humans are somewhat mined the gold with lower speed, while the dwarves mining like hell. Well... I always lead attack from the three sides, but I broke the gate from the right side. However Sylvanas and Mal'Ganis

(Why he appears?)attacks Later, Rowan and the heroes deal with Ner'Zhul personally. This ends the gameplay part.
Gameplay overall: Both easy and hard, seems like blizzlike in some part. What can I say?
Voices are both:
(And know it, I am personally favorize floating text and other subtitles, BUT I NOT REJECT THIS VOICES, because this is the best fan-voice collection, that I ever heard)
- Ancient narrative themed from the 70-80's (Footman, Rowan and wizards)
- Robotlike (Orcs)
- Schwarzenegger-esque (Lord Nicholas Buzan)
- Unfit (Arthas and Kel'Thuzad)
- Fit (Tara, if she is a young, creepy voiced girl) (Lord Nicholas is fit for his voice, also Bevan and Logan had a fair sound.)
- Unbelievable (Mal'Ganis, Nathan)
Here comes the plot (with theories marked with orange):
We are in Strahnbrad, our younger Rowan wants to be a retribution paladin. Or a simple paladin... he met with Lord Nicholas, a possible leader of the Silver Hand. He sent him to the cool sunshine-well to learn skills, which needed him to become a paladin.
He met bandits beside the cathedral.
1. Plot Question: It is really necessary to use the bandits-attacked cliché, always in the first map or the first quest?
Well... his training is finished and became a paladin by defeating the local orcs, which terrorize the land.
Second map opened with years later in the "present" of the Reign of Chaos. Rowan currently living a small town somewhere, I do not remember. One of his men told him, that Terenas II sent Arthas with a message and the town have to prepare to his arrival.
1. Plot Hole Question: Why the Prince personally arrives? Even the message is so important, this is the utter form of the gasconade, where the King send his son with the message instead of any courier. In a later map they sent courier, then I migth ask this: Now the prince receive a free day and not the courier?
Arthas arrived to the town, okay. We will know, that Rowan is a really-famous one. A second-in-command in the Silver Hand maybe. It is possible, that he worked under the tutelage of Nicholas Buzan.
IP3: Lord Nicholas Buzan is never used in the original game, this was a very good idea to use him.
The possible death of Buzan carries his rise amongst the ranks, maybe. Well the Prince told him, that Uther went mad, because of night elves. What? Are you serious?
2. Plot Question: Why Maiev comes to the Humanlands? Why she act like a bored rich teenager? What is Tyrande's ultimate goal? Why Maiev sounded like an english girl chav?
Why Uther went mad? Arthas tell the truth? Not really... although the night elves are still there with their boxes. Uther transformed to a chicken to hide? This is untraceable, but not really...
It is possible, that Rowan or someone else may contributed with Uther's state, by poisons or magic. That is also a weird, that Rowan accepts too fast the murder of Uther! THEY NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE HEALING OF UTHER IN A SMALL SENTENCE. Somebody wants to push Uther the Lightbringer off for good reason. Weirdly Rowan swiftly accepts the hunt for Uther and kill a dozens of chicken to reveal Uther and later finish with the famous paladin, without remorse or any second-thought. Rowan had a part of a coup against Uther, as well as Arthas.
Later, many days later Rowan now possibly the main commander in the Silver Hand. You worked your way! It is also possible, that Rowan push aside Dagren the Orcslayer and the other paladins. Rowan arrived to Quel'Thalas and make his way to their villages, where he met with Bevan, a young high elf. Bevan not able to convince the local captain about the danger.
3. This is a typical commoner not able to convince the sheriff scene, although the trope is introduced with other races. The Captain needs only walk a bit too see himself the undead. This part is a bit silly, because of this.
In fourth map, Bevan reached his beloved capital and wants to save the trapped villagers. He met with dwarves on the way and they helped him about his route. I not complete their side quests so let skip it, Bevan fought against the undead and successfully saved twenty citizen. In the Sunwell, he is trapped by Arthas and taken away.
2. Plot Hole Question: Why Arthas not killed Mal'Ganis, why they showed us like a comic-relief company?
Rowan return back to Dalaran in order to aid the wizards against the undead. Here are a beautiful blonde sorceress Tara showed up... I lied! She is ugly, boring and have a creepy chav voice. I imagine her like this: https://www.google.hu/search?q=chav+girl&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=923&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiI68_hpPrNAhUJahoKHdkhBdMQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=Ltny6UwZXIXNrM: Antonidas here are a a bigger "cu-nt" than the original game. He do not try to protect his city with the outstanding aura, just summon a portal. Rowan and Tara, aside from their personalities.... protect Dalaran and make an attempt to evacuate the citizens. In the end, Rowan better side showed up, he rejects Antonidas's coward attitude. You know Turnro, a story has an actual message, which you want to told and an indirect one. It seems indirectly you made Rowan irate, wrathful to the current ruling persons. I read amongst the lines, that he not saw them worthy and want to overthrow them. Although he let Antonidas and his mages to escape. Tara not showed any sign of suprise. They entered to the tunnels of Dalaran, while Antonidas reach a new level in prickness. He commit treason against his pupils.
3. Plot Question: Why they not kill Antonidas? He simply push them to Scourge. Antonidas entered to Hellfire Peninsula or Blade's Edge Mountains. There he met with Arthas and he deal with the traitor mage. This is a calculable event.
In the tunnels of Dalaran, which is look like a Heroes: Might and Magic underworld, they met with goblins. Their leader Tek agreed to help him in exchange of kill all Draenei (Broken).
3. Plot Hole Question: How Draenei entered the Dalaran tunnels without any sign of trouble? Aside from Goblins, no one knows, that they build a complete village with powerful towers. Where they come from to Azeroth? Magtheridon or Kil'Jaeden know about this? Akama is look like a comic villain... :-/
Well... in the end, the goblins and Rowan defeat the Draenei with ease. Tara and our paladin escaped from Dalaran.
In the following map, Rowan overhear a dialogue between Kel'Thuzad and Arthas. Here one logical folly is happened.
- Why Kel'Thuzad is a ghost? After Sunwell event he became a lich, that is why the well became corrupted.
Rowan interrupts a summoning of someone, it is not Archimonde. He needed to summon before the fall of Dalaran. Possible a nearly strong one. In this map he met with Logan, who claims himself as the leader of the blood elves. Where is Prince Kael'thas and Lor'themar Theron? Logan also an usurper? It seems two conspirator meets in the times of danger. The elves sees this Logan as leader. Logan takes Kael's role in the campaign. It possible and maybe useful that he taken up leadership and possibly kill those people. We know that Kael take the blood elves to nothing and Lor'themar Theron joined to Horde. So it is a fair change, this leader seems to be far more loyal to the Alliance. Where is Garithos anyway? How he accept Logan?
Logan defeat the undeads and he and Rowan simply take off the majority of the Alliance to hunt the dead. Did the king know this?
The Silver Hand simply risks so many life in a dangerous, unpredictable mission. Well no one care about this complex things. What about Rowan's wisdom? He is not wise, just a paladin with nuts and tremendous bravado. He himself led an assault to the North. In the North he met with dwarves and by their help... he defeated the undead. As far as I remember the majority of the Silver Hand late from the assault, so Rowan technically led the vanguard. He arrived to Northrend and met with Nathan, he is a comic-relief version of Muradin. He only have a small men and Rowan also did not carry a proper army with himself, yet they break through the undeads and reach the dwarf base. Rowan and Nathan defeated the Undeads there.
4. Plot Question or not... this is a rhetorical question and statement both. Why the enemy so stupid? This is a plot hole technically instead of "r.q and statement": I mean why the scourge not kill Rowan in his dream or anything else? They just wait them to kill everyone or sometimes send a small raid party. Or why they not bombard them or use a suprise attack?
After this, they went to found the steam tanks, the empty labyrinth was not empty... and was not labyrinth at all, just a building. With so many nerubiam, faceless and step trigger. The heroes move through the labyrinth... they became slaughter-machines. After kill the Faceless Overlord, the group reached the exit.
4. Plot Hole Question: Why they not carry with them at least a small squadron to defeat the base? In plot perspective, they are nearly doomed... few men attacked base. But for sake the fandom, they reached their victory.
Rowan later make a good speech with good animations, my handfur became cold when I saw that. The best scene in the campaign. Rowan here show his skills at politics, he unite the people, AS TERENAS, ARTHAS, UTHER, GARITHOS, VARIAN WYRNN COULD NOT. He is maybe not wise, but a very brave man with a lot of low-cunning, if we saw it in that perspective, that he wants to be king, the plot become more clear. He collected the forces of the Alliance! With the Alliance, he attacked the early-constructed Icecrown Citadel and defeat the undeads. Kill Ner'Zhul and all of his lackeys. Killed Arthas, Kel'Thuzad and all the others. This is a fool, yet outstanding end, here comes the 5th and more plot questions and statements with logical outcomes. (I can understand, if the sequels will not use the proper logical way)
5th and more:
- Did he defeat the Scourge? What Archimonde and the Legion doing? What are they doing? They just left them away? Are they retards?
- Where is Kael, Lor'Themar? They are really killed or captured by Logan?
- What will the Legion doing? Ner'Zhul is died and the plan to destroy the World Tree is now interrupted.
- Daelin Proudmoore or Rowan killed Terenas in the end? It is nearly obvious that you make directly or indirectly an usurp plotline. Rowan killed Uther, without the thinking of somehow cure him from madness. Even is he was dangerous, there are surely ways to heal him.
- The Rowan supporters are exist? Like Daelin and some others?
- Why it is so necessary the chase Nathan in the end, why the others do nothing then?
- Why Tara remembers Felicity Smoak?
- Garithos will be racist under the control Rowan, the First?
- Why the Scourge move to swiftly to North? What happened with the Legion?
Currently I have no more questions.
Rating: 4/5 (But this rating should be 4,9 and not 4,0)
Story is good, somewhere bad and great. It have a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions.
Music is average, but the anime-theme in the early maps is an uncommon and great choice.
Terrain is "plain and blizzlike".
I will start Jeopardy for Horde.
