Introduction:
Warcraft III: Origins is a remake of the very first game Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. This is the Orc Campaign. This project is whole reimagination of the original game with both old and new features. Like: you can’t build town halls or initially you can only select four units at a time (this can be turned off anytime you want). But for the most part, it will be a total conversion with a lot of changes and improvements.
18.01.2025 - uploaded as a demo.
15.06.2025 - uploaded as a campaign.
15.06.2025 - uploaded as a campaign.
Main Features:
- Four difficulty levels.
- Warcraft I unit selection (can be turned off anytime you want).
- Voiced cutscenes.
- Old school UI and soundtrack from Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.
- Hand-drawn loading screens and icons.
- Optional quests, completing of which will grant you a little bonus on the next level.
- Four playable sub factions with their unique features.
- Crates, destroying of which will give your additional resources.
- Soundtrack from Enclave.
- And many other things.
The Blackrock Clan is the main army of the Orcish Horde. They are sound, versatile warriors. The wolf riders are the main strike force. However, their warlocks can summon horrifying creatures.
The Clan of Shamans is the weakest Clan in the army of the Horde. They have no wolf raiders or any other equivalent unit. But for that they posses the best magi in the whole Azeroth. Their spellcasters spread fear not only amongst their enemies but their allies as well. For instance, their dark ones can capture souls of enemy units.
The Clan of Bloody Fists is the strongest part of the Horde. Personal guard of Blackhand himself, they have the most brutish warriors. Even ogres were from Draenor joined their ranks. But for that, they have almost no magic, although some ogres practice it.
Fighting against the Kingdom of Stormwind is no easy task. Some of the Orcish squads have been brutally destroyed by the defenders of the crown. Those, who survived, had to improvise. Thus, with all their weapons and gear lost, the Marauders had to plunder already overtaken Human lands. So, they took the Human sword and even learned the magic of the Light itself, for the Orcish leaders show a great interest for the powerful art of Azeroths’ magi.
Possible Questions:
1. How can I play this?
Download the campaign-> put it in your Warcraft III campaign folder (usually it’s C:/ Documents:/ Warcraft III:/ Campaigns) -> launch the game –> single player –> custom campign -> select the project -> enjoy
2. Which version of Warcraft III is required?
You need a licensed, fully updated copy of Warcraft III.
3. Does this campaign follow the lore of Warcraft precisely?
No, because I decided to concentrate myself on the gameplay. I changed or added some events and conditions in order to make the process more variable.

Do you mean the Dark One unit or a technical bug (one of textures doesn't appear)?.. Oh, you mean the art work? Yeah!
You're right. But it's just a demo.

Hello there.
I have played the demo.
Knowing and playing the Human campaign, I'm sure that also this custom campaign is going to be very good.
The only thing I didn't understand is why Doomhammer is a simple Grunt? I understand that Doomhammer is going to be the WarChief of the Horde but why not using a custom model only for him? Maybe there isn't a model that reflects the character during the first war?
Anyway, I didn't upload a video because, let's be honest, the demo is only one map. You can see the screenshot I took during my playthrogh.

In case you guys haven't noticed yet, @AkulaSubmarine has released a huge update for the Orc Campaign featuring fully-voiced cutscenes and tons of other cool improvements.
Be sure to check the awesome brand-new trailer at the top!
Though my own contribution to Akula's herculean effort was marginal, being a part of something this cool & special makes me all kinds of happy.
Enjoy!
N.B.: This is a complete package, not a demo! You can play it (the Orc Campaign featured here) through from start to finish.
To avoid further confusion: the Human Campaign of the WC3 Origins project is not finished yet. It has its own thread and will be available as a separate download.
