Okay I just finished your campaign and I've got to say a few things:
1.When I choose hard difficulty it doesn't transfers the setting into the next level it just says normal every time so I have to exit the mission and re-enter every time choosing the hard setting.
2.In the second mission the eredar's are a bit op some of them are kept like the originals with chaos damage and firebolts but at least you could have changed their attack to be piercing chaos is too much or if you're gonna make me go against at least give me healing wards as a drop item because footies and savagers get nuked by them.
3.How come you don't have a single healing unit? The cleric's invigoration restores a measly 100 mana for a 110 mana cost come on.
4.The vindicator is a weird unit she has hero type attack and swap spell with other units which is a bit situational spell depending on your playstyle. I say remove the first spell and instead of that make it some kind of a healing spell I know that Cairne's golden shower is a pretty good heal but it would be also nice to have heal on some units at least on those levels where there is no Cairne like Grom's levels.
5.The shieldbreaker is straight up a useless unit it sure is tanky don't get me wrong but it's not immune to magic and with 350 health he is pretty non-efficient especially in the last level where his fortified armor is useless against chaos attacks
6.The train steam wrecker unit is a nice idea unit but poorly executed when it's filled with rifles I thought it will be like the orc burrow increased attack speed but no change although the transport of the rifles are nice but if I want to make a surprise attack there is no ''unload all'' button I have to manually exit all of them 1 by 1.
7.Grom's race of high elves are broken. Even without chaos powers. You could nerf the archers arcane arrows to have bonus 5 damage. The attack speed balista's 5 second is straight up not necessary to have.
8.I don't understand after level 6 why didn't you just add Cairne's crystal spire ability as a option in the peasants it is just weird is all.
9.Grom's towers are fortified. That is a bit unfair if you ask me both types of his towers at make it an upgrade in the lumber mill to make them fortified. On top of that the units are broke at least make the towers somewhat normal.
10.I very much enjoyed the battle against Mannoroth however I was a bit careless and got to 13 hp and lost my heroes then the defeat screen appears and immediately disappears and I've got the win cinematic like that and got the victory screen.
Overall I mostly enjoyed this campaign but some features are poorly executed. I give it a 6/10

1. This is the same with every campaign in 1.31.1. It's a Warcraft III bug, not a bug in my campaign. I show the difficulty, so you know when it gets reset.
2. Some of them have had their attacks changed to piercing, and Footmen now reflect their attacks. You need to use Fear as much as possible to avoid Chaos attacks.
3. You have Touch of Purity and Holy Radiance (which can be improved by giving the Paladin additional mana with your Clerics). Healing is overused.
4. Vindicators save your units from harm. They have high damage but hero attack (jack of all trades). They have the passive, making them great against melee units, so once they swap with a unit they can be useful in melee range as well.
5. Maybe I'll buff it a bit.
6. That was a hard unit to make. I tried using unload all, but Wc3 cannot detect when all units get unloaded at the same time.
7. Archers don't regenerate mana, so it is not that powerful. You either use Grom's mana for Flame strikes, or you give it to Archers to allow for empowered air attacks.
8. Crystal Spire has a teleportation animation as the building animation, so Peasants building it looked weird. I think it's much more unique to have it this way.
9. I made them like that to differentiate the races more. Also, the enemies use a lot of Batriders and Demolishers, so they need to be more vulnerable to them.
10. Will look into that.

According to the map description, the author doesn't finish the third mission yet and the full campaign release was unknown (much like the second re-release of Turnro's Malfurion Quest):

Thanks for your honest review. I've said it countless times. I don't have the terraining skills necessary to make maps from scratch. I also don't have a lot of free time. Because of this, I'm making these campaigns. I have fun making them and people have fun playing them. And that's what matters to me. If anyone else wants to work to finish my BtDP campaign, I'll gladly let them. Chronicles of Azeroth might be similar once it reaches the BtDP orc campaign.

I think I don't need to give my review since my videos should speak for themselves. Still, I truly appreciate @Xetanth87 making the effort for all this work to be realized.

I watched since the Lordaeron was out (and get the Alpha for both the Sentinel and Alliance portions), and I must say this has significantly grown more than being a mere race swap. Xetanth87 paid a lot of attention to details that involved the shifting of the races. For me, the Alliance campaign is by far the best of all the series at the moment (now, if the sequels will exceed, that is something we have yet to know at the time of writing), and he really takes feedbacks that was given during previous campaigns very well.

If anything, these campaigns show dedication in my opinion. Getting 4 out of 8 (Rexxar excluded) done for race-swapping is by far the most significant effort between all the race-swapping attempts thus far, CMIIW.

I recall I was sort of skeptical of the idea, but I was horribly wrong in that regard. This idea is very fascinating, and I hope the best and wish for it to succeed.

Honestly, this one is supposed to be a separate post, but I cannot just look and not comment on this:

Why you not Complete beyond the dark portal campaing instrad of this crap wired campaing!!!

I personally think this one is one of his more refined works (specifically this Alliance campaign), and saying it crap weird is pretty demoralizing. There are better ways to give out opinions on the matter too.

As a modder who worked on altering existing contents in the past, it is not easy to work around what the campaign missions already offered. Some of them are pretty annoying pickles to work on (for example infamous Stratholme mission Malganis AI is not easy to work with from what I remember). The missions also have some quirks that might not be noticeable until you start altering them out (for example, the way alliances are formed in campaigns, or how the second Blood Elves chapter is complicated annoying for its own good).

Yes, we have a lot of the Scourge of Lordaeron repetition, but that doesn't instantly cast every one of them as horrible (I have found some of them are well-made, given the willingness to look). I will personally note that with exception of the Cenarius chapter (the Hunter of Shadows) and the Grom chapter (by Demons be Driven), people rarely get interested in touching the Orc campaign as a whole, so he taking all of the chapters, especially the 'damned boring ones' like Landfall and the Caravan mission and alter them well is a big deal.

Oh, and don't get me started on the tech trees and the bonus mission.

It might not fit your taste, but it is far from 'crap'.

If you are onto the whole 'stop re-using the default campaign crusade' that some people are on (I was one as well, just saying), at least giving the maker something to work on would be nice (for example: more content, or additional side-quests, or refer them to the more superior work as a point of reference and so on).

Respect those who dedicate countless hours to create FREE content, if you don't like it, say it politely and if you aren't able to do it, better save your time and don't comment. On the other hand, instead of demanding from others, try opening the World Editor and creating something yourself. People who disrespect and don't contribute anything aren't necessary in this community.

As much as I don't prefer the tone used, I am with Resyak on this one. Making FREE content is not easy, especially when you have jobs and obligations in real life to attend to.

Thanks for the review! I'm really glad you enjoy it. Your videos helped me a lot in finding bugs that I didn't spot during my testing. These campaigns grew a lot in the past months, and I'm really happy with the feedback I got. My original plans for the Reign of Chaos campaigns were to keep things as vanilla as possible (Overgrowth of Lordaeron originally only had 2 imported assets: Acolyte with Lumber and Death Knight Horse, both only used for cinematics). Since then, I've added a lot more custom assets and even started making my own custom assets for some of the more specific needs, like Arthas' Demon Hunter model. With each campaign, I aim to go higher than the last one.

Yes, we have a lot of the Scourge of Lordaeron repetition, but that doesn't instantly cast every one of them as horrible (I have found some of them are well-made, given the willingness to look).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Spirituality's End might be the first major edit of Eternity's End. I've seen a lot of Scourge of Lordaeron edits (I wanted to play the one that Jayborino played, and I ended up downloading another one because I didn't bother to check if it was the same one, thinking there was only one edit of it), but I don't see any major Eternity's End revamps on Hive, only 2 that don't even have imported assets or screenshots. Maybe the creators start with the Human Campaign and get bored halfway through. The abundance of Human Campaign edits is a problem I had with Overgrowth of Lordaeron, people saw it as just another Scourge of Lordaeron edit.

If we exclude 2P Campaigns, yes, then yours will be the first major edit

Edit:
Also, discounting the whole Twilight of the Gods reiteration that has been reused multiple times.

It's really unfair that the content is prejudged, but it's the most played campaign of all I think and, from my point of view, it's perfect (with its defects) as it's. But that does not detract from those who try to give it another approach and / or modify it in some way. In the end we all "drink" from our favorite original campaigns, many of my campaign missions are inspired by missions from one or another original campaign, be it ROC or TFT. So even though some people, including myself, are not overly passionate about this type of content, it's obvious that there are many people who do and in the end that is the goal, that there are people who enjoy the content we upload. Not everything can be liked by everyone.

- Chapter 8: Lowered allowed deaths to 300.

You know, I sometimes wanna go full "screw them" mode in this chapter, and this prevents me from doing that

 

[Xetanth87]

Spoiler

To me, that map always seemed a bit too easy. Catch Grom in your pokeball and go home with no issue. Now you need to lower his health to 25% but be careful not to kill him, his invincible Phoenix follows Thrall while he has his soul, you need to be careful not to kill too many enemies, and you need to control Jaina as well. One way you could deal with the enemies without lowering the counter is by possessing them. If they die while they are on your side, they don't lower the score.

 

[Blasterixx]

Finished this one as well, Pretty funny moments (like the one in Chapter 3 with the cutscene and the troll sounds)
Overall i enjoyed it.

More feedback:

Spoiler

- I liked the new U.I. in Chapter 3 to match the new race.
When i first played this mission, i killed the furbolgs before taking the quest from the dwarves so the quest became unavailable after that (this might be happening in the original campaign as well but yea)

- The Steam Wrecker is pretty bad, it barely deals dmg with 4 rifleman inside, it feels like a waste to use them, they need to be buffed, the dmg and the attack rate.


- Chapter 5 was cool, did not expect to see Thrall as the new Cenarius, it was pretty funny, also the forests being replaced with gold golems, pretty ingenious.

There is a bug in this mission tho, If u skip the cinematic with Cenarius then none of the troll bases are built, the bases will show up only after u visit the defiled fountain with Grom, but they wont build any units from the buildings.

Spoiler

in Chapter 6 (Where Dragonhawks Dare) in the end cutscene Jaina isnt actually going inside the cave, she just wanders off somewhere in the distance away from the cave.
After trying to make a video of it, it seems like this time she did go inside but the abominations were the ones that went off to the side instead.

Spoiler

In Chapter 7 (Clairvoyant) i wasn't a big fan of controlling both Thrall and Cairne at the same time, since i had them on the shift 2 hotkey from the previous missions, i had to play this mission without using my group hotkey, i think when u start the mission Cairne should be neutral (the player should not be able to see him) similar to the original campaign, and when you finish the part with Thrall then Cairne becomes usable and Thrall and his side of units become neutral.

Also there was this door i couldn't open and this light wall i couldn't get past as well, i did search the map for ways to get them open but i didn't find any.

Spoiler

- In Chapter 8 (The void whispers)
The "Save our Souls" quest isn't working because when i kill a void elf it doesn't go into the count, it stays at 0

Spoiler

• Cool idea with the faceless one shifter, transforming in the first unit it sees.
• I also liked that we had to damage Grom a lot before using the poke ball, that was indeed a dumb thing from the original campaign that u could just use the soul gem on Grom when he was 100%, too easy and lame indeed.
• And the Dark Phoenix following Thrall was interesting, not being able to kill the egg was also nice.

Chapter 9 as a bonus chapter was nice to see, the fight with the new Mannaroth was fun, u did a good job with the whole cinematic as well.
There was this tomb of relics here that i have no idea what is for tho:

Spoiler

It was quite the plot twist that Thrall's spells would be changed like that, to fire spells, i did like that, but i feel like the incinerate spell similar to the original from firelord, it consumes too much mana to use, maybe u can either half the mana cost or just remove it completely, so the hero becomes more fun to play, i couldn't really use incinerate since it runs through the mana like crazy so i never used it, and it is pretty sad.

It seems like 2 chapters are missing after i finished the campaign and went back to replay some missions:

Spoiler

Chapter 3 and 5 are missing But i can still play them after i go through the cinematic that plays before the said chapters, so for example in order to replay Chapter 3 i have to watch Shadows over Lordaeron then after the cutscene ends it loads Chapter 3.

 

[Daffa]

@arman193 I think you missed his point. In order to finish BtDP, he needs to account new knowledge he acquired during the making of alternate (that includes fixing AI, terrain, and so on). When working with alternate, you can pretty much discard terrain (or minor edits) and simplify trigger working since it's based on an existing work rather than blank slate. Have you considered these factors into equation?

Working from blank slate is beyond what he can work at the moment, so it is not something he will do in the near future. Yes, he has 3 chapters, but once it hits the 4th, things are going to start from blank, not a template map.

Even working with having a base map advantage already takes a lot of time. Consider if one has to work from 0, it will take longer.

I understand that you want BtDP, but I don't consider it polite to shove and force it over his throat to prioritize that over other works he is doing. I am sure he is more than aware of other top hits work that does not reuse the Warcraft materials.

In my opinion, letting him use alternate as testing ground for future BtDP is a better approach. He can benefit more without risking BtDP down the line, and it help builds confidence for map making skills, and with that getting better understanding of Warcraft III mechanicsmechanics which in the future creates a better BtDP.

Thanks for the review!

- I liked the new U.I. in Chapter 3 to match the new race.
When i first played this mission, i killed the furbolgs before taking the quest from the dwarves so the quest became unavailable after that (this might be happening in the original campaign as well but yea)

I think you mean chapter 4. The original campaigns' goblins give you access to the Laboratory if you kill the Furbolgs without getting the request, but they don't give you the free shredders.

- The Steam Wrecker is pretty bad, it barely deals dmg with 4 rifleman inside, it feels like a waste to use them, they need to be buffed, the dmg and the attack rate.

I will buff it.

There is a bug in this mission tho, If u skip the cinematic with Cenarius then none of the troll bases are built, the bases will show up only after u visit the defiled fountain with Grom, but they wont build any units from the buildings.

Thanks! I didn't notice it.

in Chapter 6 (Where Dragonhawks Dare) in the end cutscene Jaina isnt actually going inside the cave, she just wanders off somewhere in the distance away from the cave.
After trying to make a video of it, it seems like this time she did go inside but the abominations were the ones that went off to the side instead.

Unlike Knights, Abominations have large collision sizes, so they path the wrong way sometimes. I decided to remove them from the cinematic, so they won't cause this problem again.

In Chapter 7 (Clairvoyant) i wasn't a big fan of controlling both Thrall and Cairne at the same time, since i had them on the shift 2 hotkey from the previous missions, i had to play this mission without using my group hotkey, i think when u start the mission Cairne should be neutral (the player should not be able to see him) similar to the original campaign, and when you finish the part with Thrall then Cairne becomes usable and Thrall and his side of units become neutral.

You can just add the buildings to shift 2 or something if you don't want to accidentally order Cairne. Also making sure Cairne the map doesn't break when Cairne reaches the A'Jun first, as well as adding dialogue from him based on his arrival took a long time, so I'm not going back to 1 hero at a time. Also, since you control both heroes, you can balance the resources between them.

Also there was this door i couldn't open and this light wall i couldn't get past as well, i did search the map for ways to get them open but i didn't find any.

The first one is pretty simple, it's a lever you missed. The second one, like many of the original Wc3 Secrets, requires you to think outside the box. It's not broken, you just need to think of a way to get to the item. I won't say how to reach it, but it can be reached.

- In Chapter 8 (The void whispers)
The "Save our Souls" quest isn't working because when i kill a void elf it doesn't go into the count, it stays at 0

It is, but the counter isn't showing, so you would still lose when it reaches 300, even if the counter doesn't show it. I've fixed the counter in the latest update.

Chapter 9 as a bonus chapter was nice to see, the fight with the new Mannaroth was fun, u did a good job with the whole cinematic as well.
There was this tomb of relics here that i have no idea what is for tho:

It holds Jayn's items from Chapter 8. If you didn't give him anything, there's nothing there.

It was quite the plot twist that Thrall's spells would be changed like that, to fire spells, i did like that, but i feel like the incinerate spell similar to the original from firelord, it consumes too much mana to use, maybe u can either half the mana cost or just remove it completely, so the hero becomes more fun to play, i couldn't really use incinerate since it runs through the mana like crazy so i never used it, and it is pretty sad.

Making it free would make the campaign way too easy. In the original, Thrall had Far Sight as a mostly useless ability and CL and Feral Spirit were enough to get you through the campaign. Soul Burn and Lava Spawn are very good spells, so making Incinerate free would make it way too easy. You need to balance your mana between the 3 spells, which is a good way to experience the melee Firelord's abilities in a campaign setting.

Chapter 3 and 5 are missing But i can still play them after i go through the cinematic that plays before the said chapters, so for example in order to replay Chapter 3 i have to watch Shadows over Lordaeron then after the cutscene ends it loads Chapter 3.

Maybe it's something wrong with your game version? I've watched people on YouTube play my campaigns, and they didn't have this problem.

I said sorry 1: so how you have time to making same story campaing but you not have time to Complete0 new story campaings like beyond the dark portal ! Whats a different 2:you Know the campaings like OutsiderXE or shodow hatred or forsaken (wow story) are realy good and popular look at Downloads on OutsiderXE campaings and look at Downloads you campaing then you Know what Custom campaings are good OutsiderXE made lord of the clans thrall story in 10 years ago and peoples still playing this campaing becuse its number one

For a bit of perspective, ever since Warcraft 3 came out, there's been a level of intrigue for me (and I imagine many others) in the custom assets within the campaign and the factions they represented. The Frozen Throne really amplified this with how far they went with the Naga, showing just how much effort a company that truly loved their work would put in when it came to going the extra mile. They didn't have to do this, they chose to, and it was wonderful.

I've always had a fascination with these campaign factions and, while I've seen quite a few different interpretations in the modding community by them, I felt I never saw the Corrupted Ancients done in a way I really appreciated. A couple were in the sort of general ballpark area, but none of them really quite "cut it" for me. So, I worked on my own. Did everything I felt was appropriate for it, should update it at some point, been meaning to but I've been procrastinating. Still, I saw my vision through, for better or for worse.

The point I am making with this short story is that at no point did I tell anybody who did their own interpretation that theirs was crap - I might not have agreed with the vast majority of them, but they still did their own interpretation and they worked on something they wanted to work on. It's fine if you don't like this campaign, just the same as it's fine if people don't like my Corrupted Ancients or if they don't like any project on here, but come on, we're not here to make content for you. We make content that we want to make and upload it so that it's accessible to others, and there is a difference. It's fundamental.

Anyway, this isn't simply opinion sharing, this is active discouragement of content creators on the site. If you can't tell the difference, then perhaps it's time to stop doubling down and time to start realizing that nobody is agreeing with your "hot take". @Xetanth87 worked on what he wanted to work on, uploaded it to hive and I hope he continues to do so and continues to enjoy the experience.

I did not remove your comment. If you look, you can see my comments as well as @Shar Dundred's comments were removed as well. I did report your comment because you act like a spoiled kid that demands people to make what he wants, even though they make it for free, not because I didn't have an answer. I answered every single comment of yours. Also, you're flooding the comment section with unnecessary hate.

also i want say this is not your business

This is a great message you can tell yourself.
Take care.

Man, I just saw his response, I guess he thought I removed his posts.

I find the grammar to be somewhat offensive, I have no idea what he's talking about or referring to. I guess this is why the site has moderation lol.

Shhh, you hear it? It is quiet now. I banned the flammer. Enjoy hive! ❤

He thought I was the one who removed them, since I am the author of the thread. His response was clearly directed at me, saying that I didn't answer his question. Whatever that means. That said, I have no idea why he quoted your post. He quotes the first post he sees and talks about something completely different.

 

[Wazzz]

I'm confused by it, too, lol. That's why I thought he must have been talking to me, because he quoted my post and he wasn't very specific. I don't think he's a very good user, hopefully he can get better later or just leave.

I have completed this campaign and I must say that compared to your previous work in this series of campaigns, I think you have improved a lot. There is greater customization and a more successful adaptation of certain missions. This campaign in particular, I never really liked the original and I think you've done a good job with it.

Thank you for your work and for share it 4/5

Regards.

First level:

Felguards still have Chaos damage.

Maybe give Footmen the Grunt voice since they have voicelines.

When the first group of 1 Footman and 2 Savages is rescued, Thrall's voiceline doesn't play.

Some of the voice mixing is incomplete, making dialogues kind of awkward when the expected line doesn't play after a modified one (e.g. Thrall refers to himself and his troops as humans, but then Cairne doesn't speak the next line).

No music played during the level.

-

So how'd they make it to Draenor? Or is Draenor on the same planet as the other continents in this universe?

Most neutral creeps are left the same, but some Eredar get Piercing attacks, so they get reflected by Footmen.

No, I try to make the original dialogue work with the new units (cutting the word Warchief from every sentence), but it would make no sense to give Footmen the Grunt quotes, especially when the unit swaps aren't 1-to-1.

Not all lines are voiced. The edits that I make that sound well are used, but the bad ones or the ones that I can't make are left silent. It's not perfect, but it's better than leaving all lines muted or only using lines that I can edit (since this limits creativity to the words the units already say).

No music played is a Warcraft III bug. Usually, the first map I play after starting Wc3 doesn't have music.

"Draenor" is the southern part of Kalimdor. Basically, it is the name of the Alternate version of the Barrens. They sailed west and this is the land they found. Similar to how Northrend was replaced by Ashenvale and Arthas chose to go north to Ashenvale rather than west to Kalimdor as the Prophet told him, so in this universe Kalimdor and Ashenvale are separate continents. Outland remains a completely different planet, but will have a separate tileset and has nothing to do with this Draenor.

Edit: I've made this map for anyone confused:

Third level:

Warsong archers have no mana regen.
* OK, apparently it's intentional. Units that don't regenerate mana should mention it in the tooltips.


Fourth level:

Blood Elf music doesn't loop, it only plays once when starting or loading the level.

Extractors sometimes randomly stop harvesting, without orders given or running out of trees.


Fifth level:

I think the centaur Keeper of the Centaur Grove was saying something as he attacked, it should be subtitled (sadly, I missed the entire fight with him as the base defenders required babysitting).


Sixth level:

Cairne being the one who makes the Draenei building should be a hint, especially the "if he's the only one selected" part.

Steam Wrecker can't target air units with its Rifleman attack.

... "A Morshu model for Warcraft III exists" is not a thing I ever expected to learn, and yet here we are.

Morshu quest:

• merchant, Morshu -> merchant Morshu (or a comma before and after the name)
• retrive -> retrieve

Seventh level:

Oooh. Good take on the "no sheep in this land" bit.

Hungry Hungry Lizard stopped eating trees at one point and I had to kill him to get past him.

OK, I eventually figured out the Orb of Lightning. Still feels kinda like cheating though.


Eighth level:

Intro: After she transforms, Jaina is still called Jaina instead of her dreadlord name. ("Miss-ter Proudmoore" is more hilarious than it has any right to be).

Void Elf Deaths scoreboard is still onscreen during the Infernal and Grom cutscenes.

Got a game crash during the "Grom reached" cutscene, and when trying to load a previous save.


Ninth level:

Quest description is the same as the "bring Grom's soul to the circle" one.

Tomb of Relics only has an Orb of Corruption for sale, which is unavailable for lack of a Black Citadel.

Cairne's healing ability needs to affect him.


Overall, I liked the new elements added such as dwarf units or Grom's faction having a separate techtree, although some of those changes could use work (the Mana Wagons could have both the single-target mana refill and Replenish Mana, Shield Breaker having more armor than equivalent units). The lack of healing in the last two levels makes them pointlessly difficult as well.

Extractors sometimes randomly stop harvesting, without orders given or running out of trees.

I'll see if I can fix it. Usually happens when you order 2 Extractors to transmute the same tree. Might not be possible to fix.

I think the centaur Keeper of the Centaur Grove was saying something as he attacked, it should be subtitled (sadly, I missed the entire fight with him as the base defenders required babysitting).

Some beta spell cries. Not anything of substance, just calling out his abilities.

Cairne being the one who makes the Draenei building should be a hint, especially the "if he's the only one selected" part.

Good idea. For some reason, abilities made from Tiny Great Hall don't show up in the command card if you have multiple units selected.

Steam Wrecker can't target air units with its Rifleman attack.

It can, but it's not with its attack. It's a passive attack that happens periodically (Phoenix fire).

... "A Morshu model for Warcraft III exists" is not a thing I ever expected to learn, and yet here we are.

It doesn't. I used an Architect model found on Hive, and I edited the textures to make him look like Morshu. This is what his texture file looks like.

Intro: After she transforms, Jaina is still called Jaina instead of her dreadlord name. ("Miss-ter Proudmoore" is more hilarious than it has any right to be).

That's what happens in Overgrowth as well.

Void Elf Deaths scoreboard is still onscreen during the Infernal and Grom cutscenes.

Will fix.

Got a game crash during the "Grom reached" cutscene, and when trying to load a previous save.

Probably a leak. I'll have to check.

Tomb of Relics only has an Orb of Corruption for sale, which is unavailable for lack of a Black Citadel.

Intended.

Cairne's healing ability needs to affect him.

If you are careful, you won't need it.

Mana Wagons could have both the single-target mana refill and Replenish Mana

What do you mean by this? Replenish Mana works like Moon Wells. Select multiple units and click the wagon => all of them get mana. Select one unit => only that unit gets mana. Select the Wagon and click an unit => only that unit gets the mana.

The lack of healing in the last two levels makes them pointlessly difficult as well.

Penultimate chapter: Holy Radiance, Touch of Purity, Vampiric Aura, Essence of Blight, Heal (rescued Priests)
Last chapter: Holy Radiance is enough. You have 2 heroes that can summon units to tank the damage.

There is also a huge Easter Egg in the first mission, that can be used to alter a major element that lasts the whole campaign ??? really

Yes, but I won't spoil it. If you think hard enough you can find it

 

[abbsomes]

I haven't played yet, but the idea in itself is really good!! I wish there could be some kind of platform where users raise fund to support mapmakers to focus on mapmaking.

it doesn't show up in the custom campign Am I the only one ? or Do I need to download another file to play? Maybe my warcraft exe has a problem.

If the campaign doesn't show up in the custom campaign, then your game version is probably too old.
As author suggested, 1.31 is required to play this campaign.

That one was difficult for me albeit fun. This has more changes than the other campaigns which I love, personally. However I just couldn't get warm with the high elf units - or rather the mana mechanic, it just didn't click with me, felt micromanagy AF ^^ I didn't find the easter egg you mentioned above, please spoil it for me

Spoiler

Was it turning the Archmage into Firemage? It kinda happened out of the blue or are there any conditions for that if this was the easter egg?^^

I also didn't expect the race swap regarding Drenai and Eredar, that was really cool. Appreciating it that most of the Eredar don't do chaos damage lol That'd been a mess, oh boy. Imagine. Either way it was a very interesting experience, heh. Can't wait with what you come up next. TFT's gonna be VERY interesting and hopefully with a lot of cool modifications too.

The Easter egg is not very obvious. If you find it, you can tell me in private. I don't want people to get it spoiled. Some Eredar don't do chaos damage because I wanted the player to reflect piercing attacks with the improved defend. You can play the prerelease version of Spirituality's End

I'll have to give this a try, I had no idea someone had a similar idea to me. I'm working on my own Alternate Campaign changing certain aspects and events of the story to play out similar yet very different !
