!IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION INSTALLED (VERSION 2.40) BEFORE PLAYING!

ALSO, Cazu was kind enough to start a gameplay series of this campaign on Youtube. Check it out at this link if you want to get a better preview before you download : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhWUPBfPsk0

Thank you and enjoy!



Do you remember the cinematic where Thrall dreams a massive battle between the humans and orcs? During that battle, there were quite a few human soldiers that carried spears. Come to think of it, most of that army is composed of pikemen. But during the actual Human campaign, they are nowhere to be seen. The human army is composed of just swordsmen and knights. At first, that may be fine and all for an RTS, but the scarcity of the Human army became quite apparent in the 6th mission of the Expansion Undead Campaign, when Garithos' forces are comprised of only these two units. It was then that I realized that the humans were entirely reliant on other races for ranged combat and support (and that Footmen and Knights are quite boring on their own). And it was then when the idea of making a more, well, not so much realistic, but believable human army came up, an army where even a unit such as the Footman can be interesting and viable throughout the whole game.
And then I implemented this army into the original Reign of Chaos Human campaign, while also adding a lot to the campaign itself to make it (hopefully) a fresh and fun experience.

Without further ado, below is a list of what you can expect from this campaign:

1. New Toys to Choose From

•3 Specializations - at the beginning of each base building chapter, you will be given a Locus of Power (there may be more hidden in the last few levels). Place it wherever you wish and upgrade the Generator to choose your specialization (which MUST then be researched at any Supply Hold/Farm). Upgrading it to Crimson will allow you to research State of Arms, a doctrine that focuses on the physical strengths of the human army - discipline and strong defensive units/upgrades. Upgrading it to Green will allow you to research State of Divinity, a doctrine which will allow you to access superior healing and restoration methods. Upgrading it to Blue will allow you to research State of Abjuration, a doctrine that provides stronger spellcasters and support options. Each State will unlock different new units and upgrades for your army, while remaining faithful to the general strengths and weaknesses of the Human faction.

•11 new units - (not counting summoned units, variants or buildings) including Battle Mages, Assassins and Lieutenants– it may seem a bit like overkill, but these units are not meant to be used all at once. Instead, they offer the player more choice when choosing his army composition. As a Human player, you will need healers in any situation, but now you can choose between the versatile Priest or the mana-efficient Cleric. For a tier 3 heavy hitter, train the agile Knight or the resilient Cavalier. Or you can mix and match them whichever way you like, especially since the food cap has been raised to 300.

•Balance - I tried to the best of my knowledge to make each new unit have both strengths and weaknesses. The Cavalier may be able to use its Heavy Defense passive and Piercing attack to match an Abomination 1 on 1, but it will struggle versus smaller but numerous units such as Skeletons or Ghouls. Assassins are the bane of Heroes, but if they attack at the wrong time you can easily lose a very expensive unit.

•Plenty of new upgrades for the old and new units.

•New enemy units that you need to watch out for – Bone Golems are very resilient to ranged attacks while Archnecromancers will unleash poisonous clouds upon your forces.


2. A few new “mechanics”

•Officers - Heroes remain an inspiration for the rank-and-file soldier, but they are no longer the sole leaders of an army. Officers are a new unit type that can greatly boost your forces’ efficiency if used correctly. Officers provide a passive aura (Command Auras) that increases the damage of other units around them. The Humans are the only race that has access to all 3 types of Command Auras, having 3 Officer units: Lieutenants, Captains and Alliance Commanders. The auras from different officer types stack, (keep in mind that a Captain’s aura has a longer radius than a Lieutenant’s). The bonus from one aura is not that large, but when all three auras are present on all of your units (which is not that easy to maintain), alongside bonuses from Weapon Supplies or a Hero’s aura, your army becomes a lot more dangerous.

-Officer units can also carry and use items like Heroes, as well as providing other benefits based on their Race (Orc Officers can Enrage other Orcs).

-Be warned! Each faction reacts differently when an officer unit or Hero is killed – for Humans, nearby units will be demoralized, losing a lot of armor for a short while (depending on the rank of the Officer). Should an Officer die, it would be best to retreat for a short while and regroup your forces.

!Members of the Cult of the Damned and Undead Heroes act as pseudo-officers for the Undead race – killing them will damage all nearby Undead units!

•Food and Weapons – Food is an aura which helps your units regenerate their life and mana faster, though not at such a rate to count as actual healing. Proper usage of food combined with other healing methods will ensure that your army has a higher chance of surviving consecutive battles. Food is generated directly by Farms or by buying Food Supplies from Farms.
-Weapon Supplies can be bought from a Blacksmith. When placed on the ground, they increase the attack rate of all nearby units.

•Combat Casters – while casters were a little too powerful in Warcraft I and II, I don’t really like the approach taken by Warcraft 3 where casters mainly just provide buffs or debuffs. Each race will have at least one combat spellcaster with means of inflicting direct damage or influence the battlefield in a stronger way. Humans now have two such units. Don’t worry, they’re still just as squishy as your average Priest.

•Mounted Units – Knights and other mounted units behave differently: they can more easily pass through most other units, enabling them to break through an enemy line and attack the fragile support units behind. However, mounted units cannot form a defensive line by themselves and have a slower turn speed than most units.

•Different Armor/Attack Type Values – The damage ratios for armor and attack types have been changed. For example, Heavy Armor now reduces damage from Normal and Magic attacks, but takes extra damage from Piercing. Check the description of each armor/attack type to see what it is good against.

3. An Enhanced Campaign

•Challenge – The campaign features two difficulty settings: Normal and Hard (Easy can be unlocked should you happen to lose a mission on Normal). Normal shouldn’t be too difficult for anyone that has completed the original RoC campaigns, but Hard is aimed to really put your skills to the test. Playing on Hard also unlocks more item rewards, boss fights and, in some missions, changes the map itself significantly. Play on Hard if you want to get the full experience.
!In order for difficulty to properly work, you must select it in both the Custom Campaigns menu and in the Frozen Throne Campaign menu (the one that contains the 4 Frozen Throne original campaigns)!

•“There must be some other way” – The 6th mission (The Culling) now has an alternative completion method. Be warned though, this method is significantly more challenging than the base one! Consider it as a secondary difficulty option. If you can do it while also playing the game on Hard, you will be rewarded with a nice item!
-The 1st and 2nd missions have a new quest chain that can be completed in two different ways (though you will have to search a little for the second method).
-Your small choices will be better reflected within each mission where you take them.

•Boss Fights – Remember fighting Khel'Thuzad in the original Human campaign? Yeah, me neither. But in this campaign he will put up quite a fight. Don’t expect WoW levels of depth, but most unique characters that you must defeat now have a few tricks up their sleeves that you need to pay attention to. You will encounter more bosses if you choose to play on Hard.

•Secrets - Each level has around two-three new extra secrets that await for you to discover them. Most secrets just require a bit of exploration, though getting others will demand some creativity (Hint: The Stormreavers hate the Blackrock Clan).

•A more believable setting – It’s a fantasy game after all, but you can expect a few changes in the environment in an attempt to bring the story in line with the lore revealed in World of Warcraft.

Features

Arthas and other units can now Mount/Dismount
Spellcasters of a certain type (Mages/Holy Casters) have spellbooks containing a few basic spells known by any member of their class
Captain Falric will accompany you throughout the Campaign (credit to the makers of the 2Player Campaigns for this idea)

This campaign is NOT protected. Why?
1. It would be a little hypocritical of me to protect a campaign that is based on Blizzard’s hard work – had they protected their campaigns I would not have been able to create this one.
2. It makes easier for people to learn and/or make their own versions, as well as add little tweaks for their own preferences. Make no mistake, I intend to update this as the feedback comes in, but if you want a small, subjective change to happen (like a smaller/larger food cap) you can easily make that change yourself.

If you do decide to make your own version, crediting me would be nice :D, !BUT! crediting the resource owners is mandatory!

Speaking of which (the bigger credits list is at the bottom), Special Thanks go to:
•Blizzard Entertainment for making this game and the original campaign!
•The Hive Workshop team for taking care of this wonderful website!


!!!If you see a resource in-game that belongs to you and you are not credited, please PM as soon as possible so that I can properly thank you! This campaign uses quite a lot of resources and it didn’t cross my head to make a proper resources used list.

Version 2.0

General Features:
-New Structure: The Arsenal. The Arsenal is the new shop building of the forces of Lordaeron. It contains classical items such as the Orb of Fire and Tome of Retraining plus 3 new items, each unlocked by one of the three States. These new items give additional benefits if the wearer is NOT a Hero, allowing you to properly gear your command units without giving making the Heroes feel overpowered.
!As a bonus, the Arsenal serves an additional function: up to 3 Villagers (trained from any Supply Hold) can work there in order to produce a steady (but quite low compared to a gold mine) flow of income. This is part of my plan to implement a secondary system economy for all races.

-Jaina now has her own personal horse (the cape is readjusted magically for riding -yeah it was the only model I found, credits to the unknown and unreadable for me Russian modeler that created this)

-Falric can permanently die in the 3rd Chapter and the first part of the 7th Chapter. Should this happen, the mission will be lost.

-New Chapter available! Don't get too hyped, it's just a melee map where you get to play the Undead race versus a Human race opponent. But you will have access to some of the new undead toys:p

-Quite a few human units have received slight buffs. Arthas' Holy Smite has been buffed.

-You can no longer accidentaly build the same generator twice in chapters 7 and 9.

Specific:
-Chapter 6 - some more bugs have been fixed and the difficulty slightly adjusted

-Chapter 7 - the first part of the mission has been made more interactive, requiring the player to pay some attention to his enemies. Furthermore, the Hand of Wrynn now has a purpose and you can get an alternative route to the Green Undead base.

-Chapter 8 - difficulty has been overall reduced in Hard Mode. You can now buy all types of Mercenaries from the first Camp, allowing you to pick and choose what units you'll be using for this mission. However, players will have to keep a closer look on the skies on both Normal and Hard mode.

-Chapter 9 - difficulty has been reduced (but not drastically) so that more than 10 people can beat this map.

+Plenty of other smaller bugfixes/changes.


Version 2.10 Mainly Bugfixes
-You can only build two Arsenals
-Morphing issue has been hopefully fixed (even the one in chapter 5)
-In chapter 5 the Undead will be a bit more aggressive towards the end on Hard mode
-The Dragon in chapter 8 drops a Tome of Knowledge if killed
-Removed some unfinished units and buildings from the Extra Chapter

Vesion 2.20 Quite a few additions

Fixes:

-Made the alternate questline in Chapter 1 a bit clearer
-Fixed the resurrecting Captain in Chapter 6
-Cure can only be cast once per Zombie in Chapter 6 as intended
-Fixed some Auras affecting enemy units

Changes:
-Riflemen now have Light Armor
-Farms and Food are more costly but will heal for more
-Changed the models for Farms and Arsenals

Additions:
-Arthas's Holy Light does increased healing the more Intellect Arthas has.
-Arthas's deals extra damage equal to his Strength to targets affected by Holy Smite
-Footmen, Riflemen, Liutenants and Mortar Teams can be replaced with alternate variants at the Altar of Kings starting with Chapter 4
-New upgrades for State of Abjuration available at the Arcane Sanctum: Arcane Overload and Violent Thaw.
-New upgrade for State of Divinity available at the Church: Communion
-There is an additional independent Undead Base in Chapter 9 that will aid Mal'ganis. Players can instantly destroy this base on both difficulties at the start of the mission by killing the red book pedestal. This serves as an additional challenge.

+Other small fixes and additions

Vesion 2.35 Fixed bugs created by 2.20

Hopefully all bugs have been fixed, including Formation targeting enemy units, weird names in Chapter 2, units being available for training when they were not supposed to be, weird targetting bugs and many other bugs.


Vesion 2.40 Bugfixing

Fixed a major bug preventing the use of alternate choices from Chapter 4 to 7, as well as removing some upgrades that had no use in the current level.

The Scourge of Lordaeron - Enhanced (Campaign)

Reviews
10:51, 10th Sep 2015 Shadow Fury: Great revamp of the human campaign. By offering new units, spells, quests and buildings, players can replay the campaign using more synergies, tactics and strategies. More secrets are not lacking in this campaign...
Dagomar
I've loved Warcraft III since I was a kid as it was one of the first RTS games I ever played. For that reason I was a little sceptical of this campaign because of the amount of changes it makes. Having played through it however I can safely say I was...
In the Original campaign, if you got all the obtainable tomes, only his Strength would go -1. The rest would either increase for each unobtained tome, or stay the same.

In the enhanced version, theres way more obtainable tomes, and im 100% sure I didnt get all of them... Might do a cheat run to ensure I get all...

I did find some really hard to find ones, though:

- There is a tome of Agi in the trees under the Alterac camp in the 2nd chapter.
- The scout tower in chapter 3, next to the guy you get the optional fountain of health quest, drops a tome of agi
- The firelord in chapter 3 drops a tome of knowledge

Ugh, I could write them all down, but I wont. Im pretty sure I got at least 80% of obtainable tomes in my legit-hard run, though.
 
Well, as promised, I did my cheated run today, ensuring I got 100% all obtainable tomes.
Arthas Before Frostmourne:
Before Frostmourne.JPG


Arthas after Frostmourne
After Frostmourne.JPG


The Crownprince of Lordaeron after picking up the most powerful runeblade in Warcraft history:
- 550HP !!
- 10 Strength
- 5 Agillity
- 6 Intelligence
+ 4 damage (wow)
- 1 armor
- Losses horse abillity
- 90 mana

Conclusion:
Frostmourne never was Arthas' salvation, nor did it make him any stronger (+4 damage, though) It immediately cursed him, made him weaker and crushed his sanity the moment he took hold of it... But it went further....
After Frostmourne's influence had officially made him into an undead, he also lost all of his Strength, and experience for some reason, making him Level 1 at the Scourge campaign.

If only he kept his hammer, strength and items (Scepter of healing, Acient Spellbook and his Advanced holy spellbook), he couldve saved Lordaeron with ease.... Even without an army.

I see that the hotkeys for Arthas' abilities are still not QWER, which would be really handy, especially for his Holy Smite ability (which conflicts with Holy Light). But seeing as this hasn't been updated in over two years, I shouldn't get my hopes up on a change.

On chapter two with the heart of searinox, my inventory was full and I didn't notice so a lieutenant picked up the heart and now the quest doesn't work. Also found a bug where the staff of reanimation summoned a permanent copy of my captain falric who was very much alive.

How do I know if I'm playing on hard? I set it on hard in the custom campaign menu and put hard in the "normal campaigns" menu as well like it says in the instructions but some way to check if I'm on hard would be appreciated.

Normally campaigns have health handicaps on the enemy faction. If they are on hard mode generally they have full health. Not sure if they do it for this though. Another way is to quickly check the culling mission. If you see a lot of red town guards you are on hard mode.

Yeah I saw a lot of red town guards, and I killed them all, and I cured all the villagers, but in the next level I only get the reward for healing all the villagers, not the "slaughtered everyone" reward that I saw someone in the comments talking about. Do I have to first kill all the red dudes and then cure the villagers or it doesn't count? The red guys weren't attacking me by the end.

The item you get out of this is one that gives the hero a 25% cleave (not all too strong) and the ability to use Berserk, as well as a little bit of bonus damage.

Before picking up frostmourne, Arthas without items was this strong:
View attachment 302479


After picking up Frostmourne, (the most powerful runeblade, acording to lore)
View attachment 302480

- 425 HP
- 7 strength
- 2 Agility
- 2 intelligence
+ 7 damage
- 30 mana
- 1 armor

I'd rather do this mission without frostmourne.

the stat reset is the exact same thing it does in the Vanilla campaign. Same thing for Grom and Illidan.
Also the Frostmourn stats ARE BOOSTED from vanilla to counteract this reset.

without frostmourne eh?

Good luck killing Mal'Ganis. Has hundreds of Ankhs and Divine Armor before you grab it.

Chaos Damage

Arthas / Grom / Illidan reset in the Vanilla campaign also.

They are different units.

if it bothers you so much change his base stats in editor to acconut for tomes. POOF non-problem solved. But now your cheating and editing the game. so go ahead and just make his damage range 400-500 if you're gonna cheat.

You didn't notice it in Vanilla because Vanilla has no Tomes Except +3 Str

Go ahead and Hardcap your Food to 100 also while editing the campaign for a real Hard Mode.

As for stats -HP Arthas has Divine Shield who cares
Agi Arthas Has Divine Shield and the Food cap is 300 who cares
Str -10!
Yeah and he gets chaos damage and the base damage goes Up +14 negating the str loss.

With all equips arthas can do 80Max Damage with +52 extra in equips as CHAOS at the last level. AND he has splash damage and a haste effect if you grabbed his corrupted blade. Which you SHOULD. In addition the fire Orb will also spalsh 8 Damage on top of 25% of his total 130+ damage per swing splashing.

in addition with a 300 food cap you can have 70-75 Gryphons with SPLASH damage and Allerias Flute Aura+10% AND all the + damage auras for LT / Falric / Gryphon Commander

The can literally be cllicked to auto follow and you only control arthas. everytime arthas swings a hail of 75 hammers will rain on targets around him eveporating anything in the vacinity do they look a little hurt? Well air units have no hits box. and will follow arthas in a single stack. HURRAY HOly Radiance 300+ damage heal on 75+ units.

but Arthas lost 500 HP so it's game over :(

Yeah I saw a lot of red town guards, and I killed them all, and I cured all the villagers, but in the next level I only get the reward for healing all the villagers, not the "slaughtered everyone" reward that I saw someone in the comments talking about. Do I have to first kill all the red dudes and then cure the villagers or it doesn't count? The red guys weren't attacking me by the end.

The blade appears at your camp in the Culling.

I'm gonna guess you killed all the reds while they were Neutral. Doesn't work that way.

Clerics purify undead

In chapter 2 take insignia to the bandits east of the gnoll village thats south of the blademaster area

In cullingnof stratholm kill every single red before u make them non hostile to get an artifact that gives arthas a 25% damage cleave an active use haste and damage. Insanely powerdul especially after frostmourn. THEN AFTER you kill all reds purify everyone to gain the redemption artifact. Gaining both is hard since u have to fight malganis off longer while u wipe the map before you even start ripping houses down

After u make the turn in insignia and meet their leader. Use her to taunt a blackrock orc to the stormreaver necrolyte.

Your welcome

Also any campaign updates? How many chapters done? Potential beta at the least? Hype is really dying down

You mentioned in junen on your profile to someone hopefully summer release.... is there a surprise coming in the next few months? Because that sounds like its innthe home stretch :)

It seems like you really completed this campaign top to bottom. Given the abundance of items that you receive. I'm interested to know what final items you ended up having on Arthas and Falric for the final mission. I'm really struggling to decide what to keep and discard.

attack items

2X +12 claws
Culling Blade +7 / 25% splash
Frost Orb +6
Fire Orb +8
Medallion +4

Falric had
Redemption Aura Hammer
Fire Polearm
Enchanted Armor
Taunt Horn /armor
Healing Scepter armor/Damage
Emblazoned Shield

Grand Commander

Allerias Flute (trueshot Aura)
Full Plate
Dispel Staff

Arthas Had about 80 damage with the 2 Knowledge tomes in Last level


If you make any unit except Gryphons you're doing it wrong. 75 Gryphons > Everything and no collision

Gryphons and Knights don't mix. Gyphons kill knights.

Gyphons murder everything. everyone surrounds arthas and gets smited and cleaved down.

Falric is built like a brick shithouse and is invulnerable even without arthas heals so taunt and laugh your ass off.

Thanks for taking the time with that detailed response. That really helps to let me decide what items I should be holding onto. Great advice with the gryphons to just ROFLstomp the last mission. Almost there now.

Well, as promised, I did my cheated run today, ensuring I got 100% all obtainable tomes.
Arthas Before Frostmourne:
View attachment 302647

Arthas after Frostmourne
View attachment 302648

The Crownprince of Lordaeron after picking up the most powerful runeblade in Warcraft history:
- 550HP !!
- 10 Strength
- 5 Agillity
- 6 Intelligence
+ 4 damage (wow)
- 1 armor
- Losses horse abillity
- 90 mana

Conclusion:
Frostmourne never was Arthas' salvation, nor did it make him any stronger (+4 damage, though) It immediately cursed him, made him weaker and crushed his sanity the moment he took hold of it... But it went further....
After Frostmourne's influence had officially made him into an undead, he also lost all of his Strength, and experience for some reason, making him Level 1 at the Scourge campaign.

If only he kept his hammer, strength and items (Scepter of healing, Acient Spellbook and his Advanced holy spellbook), he couldve saved Lordaeron with ease.... Even without an army.


I have 2 questions that arise out of this post:
1. I'm curious given the stat drop once you pick up frostmourne, is it better to perhaps give all the manual of healths to Falric instead? AND
2. Those are some impressive stats prior to frostmourne. I'm wondering how did you get some of the books in the north-east section of mission 8 <see screenshot>

Arthas can pass through the map bounds while mounted. But be careful he doesnt get stuck.

Hello, I love this mod, you did a good job. I'd love it if you did ones for the Undead, Orc, and Night Elf campaigns as well. If you've already started on those projects, let me know when you expect to be finished with them so I can mark it down on my calendar.

I played this before and I will replay it now :)
Will give you feedback later, just saying now that I like the new animation for the aoe heal a lot more.

edit1: I love the third map's secret bosses! haha it was funny to explore and to be rewarded for it.
edit2: I wish you could play an alternative ending with Arthas curing the zombies. The alternate story telling was nice but it was too much in short time. It also made kind of sense that Balnazzar would influence a war etc.
edit3: It's really hard for me as noob to micromanagement all this units and to use spells/abillities...
Also there are so much to research etc.
edit4: I just found out how to research the different "states" in the 7th Mission and it's a really cool concept I must say. Too bad you don't have so much missions to get used to it. I just read carefully the descriptions and produced a 270 food army :D. It's funny to send them in combat all at once^^
edit5: Holy Smite and Holy Light share the same hotkey. Also I get wc3 crash when I face the 4 ice dragons in the 8th Mission. Is there a way to get the tome of knowledge? The book in the base
edit6: I played the campaign through, though the last mission is really time consuming. U need to prepare a very big army for the siege. I understand now more about the state thing but it's sad that it's over now. The new human and undead things that you added are well done. Not unbalanced and challenging to master it. Hope you keep working on it because there are many things that could be a bit better optimized and I wish for more Missions to play. 5/5

Question which is propbably the most obvs one that everyone is asking, but when is path of the damned enhanced going to be finished?

Hes not working on it so....
teozamait Hey guys thanks for reaching out :) I'm still working a lot of personal things right now, have a day job and everything and I even got a new PC. But with the new Battle for Azeroth coming along I think it's a good time to get back into some WC3 projects, though I make no promises. I've learned and changed a lot since my first campaign - if I ever do the Damned one, it's going to be a lot different, but hopefully in a good way :) Also, all the models in my campaign were taken from this site - you'll have to check the permission that each author gives though I'm sure most will allow the use of those resources.


Keep in mind years ago when TSoL Enh was released he was hopeful of doing ALL the vanilla campaigns. Now the 2nd one is just a big "maybe" in the modding world that going to be a no.

I really liked the changes you made to the campaign, especially the Footman equestrian and the Arthas equestrian, but the Jaina equestrian model was not very good because it did not have a portrait talk in cinematic, and can you make map with same changes you made in the campaign ? make it, I think the map will be great.:infl_thumbs_up::infl_thumbs_up:
