Is it really only 400kilobytes?

Yes, 400KB. A very short campaign.

I don't understand, is it a demo or something? Are a couple of maps with almost nothing in any sense...

A short opener for a series I am planning, nothing much I can say for the moment.

 

[The Nightmare Book]

Short or not, looking forward to play and share my humble opinion about it!

 

[The Nightmare Book]

Well, I have completed this small campaign and what can I say...

• Is this story just Medivh's story for the Warcraft 3 startup?
• Yes, it's a short campaign. Strange that you can select difficulty, but I didn't feel that "hard" difficulty is hard.
• The landscape could be more interesting

After all - looking forward for a full campaign, nice startup and it could be good short campaign if you add some sophistication to each map, imo.

1. From the start we can see the terrain is less cared for than the backgrounds of SNES games. We don't get the feeling they are actually in another place when the scene blinks to the grave. Static camera. Generally, the campaign's terrain is bare minimum, or rather less.
2. The gameplay doesn't help either. It's linear and repetitive.
3. Not following the story but this forgotten one figure is not only arrogant but doesn't seem to do anything meaningful. He came to the bandit king to tell him he will leave and accuses him of not cooperating when he is the one who is being hard to talk to in the first place. Also, units selected during cinematic mode.
4. Oh brother. It's Reign of Chaos...
5. "What nonsense was that wizard on about?" Maybe the resurrected Dark Wizard could answer since he was silent all that time?
6. In chapter 2 the hero starts with almost 0 HP.
7. A Waygate that teleports you few paces further. What's the point?
8. For some reason the Crow Form ability disappeared. Now how to get to the castle? Weird. It happens if you get near the edge towards the dead red troops.
9. In the Epilogue the transmissions are based on the regions where the crow enters which means they run too fast.

A simplistic unoriginal "campaign" which at least has a seemingly fun map, the AoS or rather Offense type one.
Also, contains uncredited resources: Resources in use by The Warning

Simple.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
