[sergiociarlohidalgo]

[Nobel Massina Arben]

This troll campaign is indeed a campaign with unique features and terrain compared to before. Moreover, the monsters are beyond reason.

 

[PROXY]

Awesome! Was a pleasure to playtest during the early stages and had me hyped for its eventual release. Cant wait to test it today again

 

[A]mun]

This is it!

Spoiler: size matters?!

Hello!bro,would you mind i translate your map into Chinese?

 

[StormKnight]

We stand now at the brink of awesomeness, for the reign of voodoo has come, at last.

 

[Poluroslik]

/reported for troll posting

This needs to be in the spotlight on the main page!

 

[Carefree World]

The long-awaited troll battle has finally come out.

 

[Tryndamere]

After a long time as a demo, the full version is finally released, I can't wait to try playing it

 

[Griffith]

Wow Just wow, dude, this must have taken forever to make. I just finished the first mission, and the amount of detail from the terrian, the units, the music, and the cinematics in this campaign is something else.

 

[Bigger worse]

Hello,man.Can I translate it into chinese?

 

[tomoraider]

I only just watched the intro cinematic, but it was really compelling. And the thread looks amazing. Well done!

 

[BaiyuGalan]

Looks great.

 

[ginnaretur]

One of the best, most polished projects.
Now I'm just waiting for another act of this epic story

 

[Havanen]

I just entered the second submap on Chapter 3 and I gotta say that intro 'scene' really got me .
Really really well done though, it's the first time I have seen something like that in a custom campaign.

 

[jazznor10]

great campaign but either i missed a hint for the "Dormant hand of the juggler" or im stupid but i can not figure it out

 

[Paillan]

WHEN?!
WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?!
YOU DID IT MON' YOU MANAGED TO DO WHAT I COULD NOT!
Congratulations! Looks incredible!

 

[Gnuoy]

Wow I told my friend about this and he's been talking about it non stop ever since.

Is this based on canonical Warcraft lore or fan fiction?

Spoiler: Not the answer but a big hint

The game's UI can be used to your advantage

Is this based on canonical Warcraft lore or fan fiction?

Both actually. The story is framed by canon lore surrounding the Troll-Aqir War but the characters and individual story beats are written by me.

 

[JokeMaster]

Holly smokes. A high quality troll campaign. I'll give it a go after work.

 

[Yae Miko]

I need the answer to the riddle. (

 

[The Nightmare Book]

Finally.

 

[Flipper93]

Excellent campaign!

The terrain is the best of warcraft 3 with a layer of polish and use of custom models that just makes you want to explore the entire map. The custom skyboxes adds a lot to the cinematics and the music fits the gameplay really well. Use of existing items and the combining item system helps keep old items interesting.

Many of the cutscenes in this are masterpieces that must have taken ages to get just right, especially the intro to chapter 3 just oozes atmosphere.

On top of all this, the campaign has full voice acting which I was not aware of before playing which was a great surprise! And for the most part, the quality stays very good throughout! Some accents here and there which come and go but that is very minor and is barely noticable.

I played this campaign on the latest warcraft 3 1.36 patch and had no issues at all with completing it.

I will leave some issues/notes I found below but since the campaign is made for 1.29 some may be due to reforged issues.

Spoiler: Issues/Notes

General

• Loading screens do not work correctly. Still see horde symbol and the text is not in correct place. Looks like 4:3 dimensions.

• Spirit Snake level 1 has pillage
• Spirit Snake evasion has demon hunter evasion icon (Since everything else is so polished it feel wierd there is no specific snake evasion )
• Perhaps the Eqq sack could use a custom model/texture to differentiate spider egg/aqir egg
• Music can stack upon load save game, I think this is a reforged problem
• Claws of Attack +5 have the claws of attack +6 description and effect. Guess it should be +6?
• Claws of Attack +8 have the claws of attack +9 description and effect. Guess it should be +9?

Chapter 1

• Blood harvest was given to Oriss for me when combining Druid Poach, Totem and Jade Ring. Was it just lucky timing for me? I guess that the lifesteal was to make chapter 1 easier?
• Item space is quite limited in chapter 1, key items could be set up as consumables to help with that.
• The Dark Stone seemed to be missing for me, or was it supposed to only be the dark terrain everywhere and the burrowed Kithix?
• Blood stone is a consumable rune item. The quest gathering blood still works but the dialogue implies it is supposed to be a real item that gets stronger.

Chapter 2

• Terrain in cutscene bugged out. Looks like the whole terrain should have been black but is not
• 

Chapter 3

• A bunch of items on the ground at start of chapter. Seems to be random assortment of duplicate stuff from Oriss and Rendar and Kruppe. Items that was on units in chapter 1 is missing (which I guess is the point since they are random drops?).
• Last 3 lines after Mjolnir fight triggers twice along with quest, causing the voice acting to be exited.
  
  

Chapter 5

• The optional quest is not marked as completed after completing it.

Cannot recommend this campaign enough. Thank you for the experience!

 

[Re uben]

Go ahead! If you do, send them over to me so I can host them here with the English version.

Broo sorry i need help in final chapter how can we beat that giant octopus before he recharged his power

 

[Poluroslik]

Pew pew

 

[Resyak]

They're going to have to create a new rating range to evaluate this campaign, I haven't finished it yet but come on... This is a true work of art. Setting, dialogues, gameplay, everything seems measured to the millimeter and polished to the extreme. A rate of 5 and a like don't do justice to content of this level. My most sincere congratulations and a thousand thanks for sharing it with everyone.

Regards.

That fight was surely a challenge, though beatable. Kruppe and Oriss got 1 disable each, plus, if you completed Kaldra set from chapters 3 and 4, then you have a good summon with a third disable. Be sure to gather as much complex artifacts as possible, they all will be needed in final battle.

 

[ZiRBy231]

Loved EVERY second spent on this masterpiece. From terrains to gameplay, from unique units and complex characters to quality voicing and cutscenes, I am very much sure there is little to nothing close to this level of a Campaign. Laughed a bit with elements from other games (like reworked models from SC series and ground and underground maps, connected via cave enters, which (i presume!) came from Armies of Exigo), yet they looked so natural i couldn't help but immerse myself in the story, caring little about these things. The ONLY trouble i came to have known while playing it on 1.31.1 version was with chapter 3 map travelling, Necropolis in particular. Game may take more time to switch maps, and sometimes game outright crashed, yet i overcame this by simply waiting it out. My guess it's something on my side, so i didn't bother any longer.
You've done a great work, be seeing you soon in "highest rated maps" section

P.S. The story ended with a strong point, yet I for sure won't be against a sequel)

This will surely end up as DC.

 

[HagenVI]

Absolute cinema, what a blast.

From complex, yet not boring and very interesting characters, to great map design and sometimes funny easter eggs. (I saw that Arthas reference there!) It even has completely custom bossfights, multiple at that!

Hard recommendation to anyone!

 

[bolinha]

I loved it, it's awesome in every aspect. I played in the latest version (1.36) and it worked pretty well, with only one crash in the ending cinematic.

 

[Macielos]

Great campaign so far. Great story, immersion and atmosphere, good use of skyboxes, beautiful music, solid AI voice acting. Some minor issues after chapter one:

Spoiler: Chapter One Spoilers

• When the fight with Void Revenant started, part of my forces ended up beyond the barrier - they should be moved inside automatically
• When the master sends us to kill 50 creatures, I think we should keep control over at least some of our warriors. I thought the Revenant was the final boss, so beforehand I spent my gold on items to have them transferred to the next map... and then I had to sell them back to have gold to hire new troops. This was very counter-intuitive. Although having completed the chapter I see why it was done.
• Enemy creeps have oddly small detection range, so I can often engage them one by one.
• Our master dropping items kinda spoils he's gonna either die or turn evil .

 

[=X=EclipsE]

Great works.

 

[Fyar]

Haven't played it, but it may be the peak.

 

[raypack]

This is made on patch 1.29, you have no idea how happy this makes me!
Definitely gonna check it out!

 

[Rayman90]

Congratulations on finishing it ! Cant wait to see what you have cooked.

im sorry broo i dont understand please just tell me how we disabled his recharged ? All weapon and ability didnt working

 

[GorextheGory]

Not a personal fan of trolls, but after playing through this campaign, I can say that the quality at which it was made just hits right. The story is engaging, the characters are cool, and the missions are diverse enough to keep you engaged and avoid repetitiveness. The amount of models and assets used, as well as their uses, is astounding.
All and all, THIS is a true Troll Campaign if I ever could think of any. I will be looking forward to the follow-ups.

 

[ZiRBy231]

The strategy is quite simple, yet may require above-average micro-managing skills.
Oriss got a "Hypnotic gaze" stun ability, Kruppe got a "Bad juju" silence ability. Kaldra's set summon got a "Throw rock" stun skill. Most of the time you need only to evade aoe-attacks of Kith'ix and effectively dispatch summoned nuisances, such as aqir drones, egg clutches, Void creatures and so on. Attacking main boss can be left on auto attack, except when he speak - only then you need to have a disable spell, one of the mentioned above, recharged and fast casted when the ring sounds. You'll have at max around 6 seconds to do it, then - game over. Highly advised to have a fast save after each succesful disable on main boss
That's pretty much it, good luck and have fun)

 

[LovG]

This is a masterpiece.

Amazing work. I can't believe I already binged it all in one weekend. R.I.P.

Absolutly fantastic and really fun to play, this is really high quality content. Loved the characters, the atmosphere and the world you've created. Hoping to play part 2 in the future. Excellent work!

I've played on last online patch and I've only encountered 3 crashes on mission 4, but that's all (luckily because I'd felt really sad If I coulnd't finish playing it).

Spoiler: Not the answer but a big hint

Now I see what you did there. I figure it out unexpectedly though.

 

[frostwhisper]

Apparently, the Orb of Voodoo lighting effects cause the game to brick on the latest patch. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Once I gather enough of these niche cases I'll add a known bugs section to the description.

 

[muaddib]

what can i say mon, you put a hex on me. no bugs to report. all the bosses were beautifully crafted and choerographed. the models, spells, VA. top notch. i couldnt believe this being wc3. well done! the lovecraftian horrors gave me the chills. p.s the sub map gave me a good cackle. [ the necropolis..if you know, you know ]. bravo for all that passion and dedication.

 

[Man_of_Warcraft]

Seems stupid to ask but I want to be sure. Classic or Reforged graphics so I know what to toggle before playing the campaign.

This is classic graphic. Not reforged. You can see from the pictures.
