FAQ
  • IS THERE ANY COPYRIGHTED CUSTOM MUSIC IN THE CAMPAIGN?
    All music comes from Blizzard's games, specifically World of Warcraft and all of its expansions. You can record any footage of this campaign and put it online without risk of copyright infringements.
  • ARE HEROES LIKE IN THE VANILLA CAMPAIGN?
    Heroes abilities are the same of the vanilla campaign and the main and only hero of the campaign is Arthas, just like in the original one. The experience system, however, is tweaked to be more rewarding. In other words, your hero needs to be personally involved to gain experience and a lot of killing is usually required to gain levels. Tomes of experience and creep camps to clear come in really handy, so make sure to search for them!
  • HOW MANY MISSIONS IS ACT I?
    Act I consists in the first two missions in the game and the playable interlude. Basically, the entire Lordaeron arc of the campaign.
  • WHAT ARE PLAYABLE INTERLUDES/EPILOGUES?
    They are expanded cinematic sequences with a section of gameplay, usually reduced in scope with respect to regular missions and with a more RPG style camera and mechanics. In this campaign, the interlude The Dreadlords Convene is now playable. It can also be skipped to experience the cinematics only, if you so wish.
  • ARE THERE ANY KNOWN ISSUES?
    Not many, but I will list the few you might encounter:
    1. Opening the codex dialog while a cinematic is starting might have some weird effects on some cinematics. This is because the system I use to pause the game when the codex is opened just emulates Blizzard natives, which I can't use since that logic is hidden underneath the game engine. I will check if there is a way to prevent this, but it's very weird and low priority, so I can't promise on when it will be done. Don't report this bug to me because it's not really a bug, but just a very rare unintented behaviour that can be avoided very easily.
    2. Difficulty might not be retained between missions. Use the cheat code "howhard" to display the difficulty level of current mission. If it's not what you expect, just quit mission, select the new difficulty and then load it up again. Blizzard should have fixed this by now, but in case it happens again, you know how to deal with it.
    3. Sometimes facial animations of characters might stop working (partially or entirely). Usually restarting the game and reloading the map should fix the issue. It's also been noticed that facial animations tends to break more when alt-tabbing. This is due to Blizzard code, I can't fix it. If anyone knows a workaround, just let me know.
    4. In some locales, loading screen crest might be smaller or not fully centered. This is due to a bug in how the game client handles the loading screen crest, whose partially depends on the amount of text in the loading screen.
    5. If you reload a saved game, the crest might appear of the wrong race. Again, this is a Reforged issue, tell Blizzard about it.
    6. Some crashes might happen due to unpredictable circumstances. Just deal with them. It's not Re-Reforged, it's the game client.
    7. If the game crashes often, make sure to check your graphics settings, for Re-Reforged might be a bit heavier than vanilla Warcraft 3 Reforged:
      1. Reduce graphics quality in settings (make sure to not open options from in-game because, in rare cases, it could freeze the game);
      2. Set game to fullscreen mode;
      3. Close all other applications you can close, to reduce RAM and GPU usages.

My name is Luca Pasqualini and I'm an italian software engineer and teacher. I was a researcher with a PhD in AI. I love developing games in my spare time.

I have partecipated to the Rock The Cabinet 2017: Co-op edition contest for Starcraft 2 and my map, Mercenary Business made it to the top 10.

I was hyped beyond any imagination for Warcraft 3: Reforged, and while the disappointment was there, I saw great potential in the art assets and in the few but key changes Blizzard made to the engine. Mostly for fun, I tried re-reforging the first map of the prologue with better cinematics and now... well, now here we are. I guess it's already been a long journey, and I am really excited of what's still ahead!

The following list is a definitely not comprehensive list of assets used in some form that you can find on Hive Workshop.
In general, many models are built specifically for Re-Reforged and you can extract them and use them so long you give credits. Many of the following models have also been edited/improved to better work within the Re-Reforged ecosystem. Let me know if you see some assets (models, textures, icons...) in the campaign that are available on this website in some form and that are not credited here, I'll immediately add them in the list and give proper credits to their authors.


All the model designed for Re-Reforged are made by Mr. Ogre Man (main modeler) and Furgrim (fixer and animator).
All the icons and the loading screens designed for Re-Reforged are made by Handclaw.

InsaneMonsters's project aims to deliver the enhanced experience that many fans anticipated from the official Reforged release. The project has been well-received within the Warcraft III community. Players have praised its quality and the dedication involved in its creation. It offers a fresh and enhanced experience of the undead campaign, aligning with the vision many had for the official release. I'm happy to approve this, as it stands as a testament to the passion and creativity of the Warcraft III modding community.

Hey there! How's the rest of the campaign coming along? It's been over a year since Act I came out, and I’m super excited to see what’s next! You've done an absolutely amazing job—this remake takes the whole experience to a whole new level!


Is there a forum or Discord server where we can follow the development more closely?

You are right! I'm working on it but I had a slowdown in the last few months due to various real life issues. The server is in my signature!
