THE STORY TOLD... BY IN-GAME CINEMATICS

FAQ <-- CLICK HERE FOR INSTALL INFO
  • 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 heroes of the campaign are Arthas, Jaina and Muradin, just like in the original one. The experience system, however, is tweaked to be more rewarding. In other words, your heroes need to do stuff in first person to gain experience and a lot of killing is required to gain levels. Tomes of experience and creep camps to clear come really handy, so make sure to search for them!
  • WHAT IS THE EPILOGUE FOR?
    It expands to a proper interactive cinematic the events of Arthas attacking Mal'Ganis after Frostmourne has been claimed and it represents the actual ending of the human campaign, creating a much more fulfilling and clear bridge to the undead 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 Divergent Courses is now playable and the new epilogue is also playable. Both can 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 designed for Re-Reforged are made by Handclaw.

  • CAPTAIN MARWYN ► Rasmus Lemche (english), Luca Pasqualini (italian), Feivurey (russian), MavByte (german), Akim Belkheir a.k.a Shunrik (french), Lilmunsta (spanish, latino), Dariusz "Noktis"Ćwik (polish), Hurricane_Bo (chinese simplified)
  • ARAJ THE SUMMONER ► Alexandre Faller a.k.a Ehlesgens (english), Alessandro "Dagren" Monti (italian), Павел Осинягов (russian), MicRaving (german), Alexandre Faller a.k.a Ehlesgens (french), Warglaive (spanish, latino), Dariusz "Noktis"Ćwik (polish), 蓝蓝子 (chinese simplified)

This is a masterpiece. I enjoyed playing that campaign much more than the original one. Are you really going to create an undead campaign?? This would be beyond praise because mapmaking in Warcraft is a reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy hard work. And Path of the Damned includes complicated maps.

Hey,

I have not played it yet but I was just wondering : will this be playable as a custom campaign anytime soon ?

If I play it with individual maps there won't be any save for heroes skills and items right ?

No, your hero skills and items will still be saved.

The only issue with individual maps is that it's a bit tedious loading each map/interlude every time and if you take a break, you might forget where you are so it's recommended to finish everything in one go.

I don't know if I didn't get how it works, but on map 2 I couldn't reach the canyon towards Searinox. Nothing happened when I entered the circle. Played in editor.

I afraid it's not custom campaing, it's just set of maps, you should extract and copy them to Documents/Warcraft III/Maps/Download/ReReforged

Superb! Cinematic rework is everything fans asked for an immersive storytelling experience. The playable events in between chapters such as playing Jaina was great since you get a little more lore bits in there and I love lore. The hidden lore items I thought was a great addition. Basically everything about it is great. Looking forward to seeing Arthas taking his undead army to the gates of Silvermoon and see how that whole section of the Undead campaign is reworked. If I had more experience with the WE such as trigger events, cinematics, and other tools I would gladly assist in kind of speeding things up. However, the effort ONE person is putting in to recreate an entire game is something of greatness. Much respect to InsaneMonster.

You are absolute beast man seriously. Just few weeks ago I was telling to my friend: I wish Blizzard made Reforge campaign true to original story but with some distinctive changes instead of just reusing stuff made 20 years ago. Amazing, amazing work you did with the campaign I enjoyed it so much.

Just finished it. Seems like I will be the less convinced of the people here.

Don't get me wrong, I love the work done about the whole presentation. The cinematics are gorgeous and still makes me wonder why they didn't put any effort in them, the models seems to have a lot more of animations than what I expected. And the WoW music is always welcomed to create some variation. Also the little scenario missions were a nice addition.

It's more about the gameplay of each maps that I'm kind of not sure.

If I understand, the idea is to remake Warcraft in what you imagine Reforged should have been. So there is the idea if it's your first time in Warcraft, it should fit you.

So, about the difficulty, except a specific case, everything was damn easy. But I suppose there is a way to change it? Didn't find any option when launching the map so no idea.

But about the structure of the missions, I have things to say.

The campaign is 9 missions long, and honestly, there is too much no building section. 1, a part of 2, 3, 4, part of the 7, 8, and half of 9 are no build missions. So you have just half of 2, 5, 6, half of 7, and half of 9 to play the humans. My problem here is that you don't have much opportunity to use the full roster and at the same time I just find human heroes outside of blood mage horribly boring to play in those map, especially paladin. I don't understand why you can't nuke some undead units with Arthas, like necromancers, it just turn him into a healing machine and nothing else. I suppose the idea is they are not undead, so for a lore perspective it works, but that's kill one of the reasons you play a paladin during this whole campaign in the original.

While I appreciate 1, I'm not sure about adding two timers in the mission. It is supposed to be the first, the one when you discorver the mechanics of the race so for a beginner, it's not ideal. Kind of boring also when you search the codex entries on the map and try to loot things to be urged to move towards the objective.

2 is fine, even if I found Searinox a bit of long for nothing. If you bring rifleman, there's not much he can do to you and it's just long.

3 isn't much different from the original.

4 I appreciate the idea but it ultimately suffers from the fact that paladin is already boring to play in no build, but also that you can't nuke the numerous necromancers around the map, which reduce your options to play in an agressive way.

5, I'm not sure. Maybe it's because of the difficulty settings but the Scourge is really... weak. I don't even remember if they are using a hero. The idea of having two different areas to defend is cool because the buildings can't be recreated but it really lacks the aspect of the original with the relentless tide of undeads. The side quest don't have much interest in this map, you just go as soon as the map start, clean things, and go back to your base. At least cleaning the area with Uther in the end is appreciate. The defensive kind of missions is not optimal to search codex entry, too.

6 is ok. Also not much different from the original.

7 is boring. First half suffer from the same issues as the other no build sections, and the second half, considering you have to send someone to help to defend, and you have three enemies, to face, and a base to build from the scratch, it's really slow for not much reasons. I would suggest to start with at least a tier 2 town hall to speed up the whole process.

8, I don't like this one. I find the original to be already a boring mission, here it's more or less the same but extended by 10-15 minutes. I don't see the point.

9, the add section on the boss is basically just running around and letting them get killed by the frost attacks. You don't have much time to strike and the pathfinding of Warcraft 3 don't let you avoid efficiently the attacks. Like 5, the Scourge is not really menacing when you defend. And it's sad that you can't really play Arthas with Frostmourne, having your chaos damages and insane autoattack damages with divine shield was a whole part of the fun of the original. But at least defending without a hero is a good change of pace, don't think W3 has any mission where you play units without a hero.

So I've overall appreciated the whole experience, terrain and narrative are exceptionnal, the custom units here and there are cool, the special interlude missions are kind of cool to (but you should unlock the camera), the concept of the missions for most of them are great, but I think there is balance to do here and there to really make it feel good to play.

Everything you have done to enhance the first Human campaign is just utterly commendable and inspired. I adore the changes you've made that continue to add on to what the developers originally put in, especially the Codex system which is a wonderful way for new people to not just learn more about the setting but provide context-sensitive information! I am especially very happy with some of the twists you put on some of the classic missions, particularly in Andorhal, the defense of Hearthglen, the minor but oh-so-important changes to The Culling, the way you portrayed the ending... it's all fantastic work. This is, without hyperbole, the best way to experience the classic Warcraft 3 story.

The only real request I have is that (Spoiler for the Culling):
For someone with a lot more experience with Chapter 6, The Culling, the mission seems almost the easiest of the campaign now, where before it could be challenging but fair (Let's not talk about Reforged Hard Culling. I shiver to remember how much I butt my head against that). Having more enemies walk around with Mal'Ganis sooner, or enemies interspersed amongst the populace could help offset that. I'd also enjoy it if holding Wirt's leg could perhaps just put a marker on the map, or some indication for where Jaina could investigate, I walked around quite a bit before finding it in the Interlude :p

I really, really hope you continue doing work on this and I am already thinking of supporting you on Patreon for the efforts. You truly, truly, deserve it.

It's Incredibly sad, that some fans made a better "re-forge" campaign than blizzard. And they had a whole paid "team of professionals". Incredible work, and sadly far more effort than blizzard put into remaking the campaigns. Good job!
