Warcraft III: Remembered. Orc CAMPAIGN

[The Nightmare Book]

Looks good!
But will you remake human campaign too? Or only orc campaign?

Thank you! It's already been uploaded. Here: Warcraft III: Remembered. Human CAMPAIGN

 

[Ardenaso]

Resources used? I think I'm seeing some CSW models here

Resources used? I think I'm seeing some CSW models here

All the resources are mentioned in the description: information from those thwo sites, my illustrations and music, soundeffekts and voices from Warcraft II: BNE. That is all. There are no extra 3D-models from SC II or somewhere else.

 

[Ardenaso]

I see, my mistake

 

[AkulaSubmarine]

I see, my mistake

It's ok. Feel free to watch the videos - there you will find more information. I hope also, that they will make you smile a little.

Hey! Nice campaign! thank you so much for sharing it.
I have a little problem when i´m playing though...
when I have upgraded my archers and trolls, they dissapear and only shows a shadow of those units, this has also happened with mages and elementals in both campaigns, I don´t know if it has happened to someone else
it happens in all maps
keep up the good work! =)

I've just checked it out: it works on my PC. I've also downloaded some of the maps anew - it's still working. Maybe some of the game files on your PC were damaged.

Hey!
I just realized that it only happens in classic mode, in reforged works perfectly!!

I know that you doesn't want to use custom resources, but still I wanna offer this resource just for aesthetics: Hero Glow. The campaign has no heroes (almost, yeah), so there's no need to have this strange and misleading default glow.
Anyway, you made a big job! "We will watch your career with great interest" (c)

Thank you so much, mate! This definitely shall proof useful. But the reason I didn't use any external resources is simple: I just didn't have time to learn how to use them properly. But i'll try to apply this one at least.

it looks great too bad that its only work on reforged and not classic

Actually you can try downloading the outsated version via Google Drive. It has no new 3D models. However, it may have some graphical issues. But you still can try.

edit i download it and it didn t work it needs 1.32 and i have 1.31 its too bad that there no way to update my version without buying reforged and i don t plan on buying reforged

Just trying through this right now. The "briefing" of the second Goblin level seems to indicate that it should be played after Tol Barad, though there's no indication of when it's intended to be played until after you're loading in - something to consider for those extra missions, perhaps?

In addition, the third level, on Hard, seems to be a MASSIVE sudden spike in difficulty that seems out of line with the previous two missions. Far more enemy forces on your island, including a Ballista. Combine that with the very slow start of one peon, limited starting resources, and supply-blocked right off the bat so you're forced to use your starting peon to make a farm before you can even think of doing anything else, and a very tight time limit of a mere 11 minutes in which you need to tech up to the Shipyard, get Destroyers out, and not only fight past the not-insignificant pre-placed Navy, but then also overcome the transports themselves before they can blitz across the map. I get that with the lack of an oil system, this level needs to be repurposed, but an objective this harsh so early on seems a bit heavy-handed.

And after a quick check of what Normal looks like, Hard seems excessively punishing in comparison; Hard takes away a starting farm and a second peon, adds more enemies both on your island and to the pre-placed enemy navy, and takes a full four minutes off your time limit of 15 for Normal down to the previously mentioned 11 for Hard.

Yeah, that's true: this mod is unforgivingly difficult on hard. You have to know exactly what and even when to do. But this is going to remain that way, for it perfectly depicts my childhood memories: these games were pretty hard back in the days. They were not always fair. It was not always clear how to beat them. But they had a big soul. That's why they're still remembered.

As for the rest, I'll consider these mistakes when I'll be working on my next project. Besides you can watch my playthrough (for now, on the 13.09.2021 seven levels from both campaigns have been uploaded).

Thank you for your feedback.

I did. I am the artist.

I tried both, and even tried one by one but the latter just refreshes the page...
in the end I tried changing from Firefox to Chrome and it worked c:

Tested a couple of maps, and so far so good

 

[Blazethesage]

Been playing through this, and I'm at Stratholme at this point.

The objective regarding the bridges has me confused; I decided to look around the map with the vision cheat, and I found the three bridges. One of them appears to have no land access outside of cutting through (or blowing through) large swaths of trees, but more concerning than that, is there doesn't actually appear to be a way to destroy them. Sappers do nothing, and neither do catapults.

No, Goblin Sappers work just fine. You have to blow up both the bridges and the trees using them! However, there is a little puzzle with the bridges. You have to figure out, how to do it. Maybe I should have gotten to make another hint there. But I won't: I'd like it to bee a little old schoolish.

Nevertheless, thank you for your feedack!

 

[Blazethesage]

Having figured it out, I would just to express support for the idea of adding a hint for the bridges. I can foresee way too many people just getting frustrated and annoyed when detonating the Sappers on the bridges doesn't work. I know I did. That's why I came to these comments in the first place.

Even the solution, while it makes sense from an in-universe perspective, from a gameplay perspective it's just obscure seemingly for the sake of obscure, and I was actively annoyed when I figured it out, not because of how long it took to figure out, but from a sense of "Seriously? THAT'S what I'm supposed to do?"

Well, if it's that annoying, I am going to add a hint. And maybe the trees on the way to one of the bridges should become weaker as well. Thank you for your feedback.

 

[Blazethesage]

Not trying to be negative, it just felt like the type of Obscure that makes you ask "...That's not what the mapmaker intended, is it?" Right up until you try it and it works. Like it feels like the wrong answer, right up until you confirm that no, that's correct.

Though I will say, the confirmation that you're meant to sapper your way through that one tree-wall is about the only reason I made it through to the enclave of mages in the middle of the map in Silvermoon. The trees there are tough! Two sappers to take out a tree caught me off-guard. Yeah, there's an entrance, but those perma-runes at the entrance had me stumped. Not sure if there's a way to disable those or not, so I just said "screw it", and took a page from Future-Arthas' book, and made my own entrance.

Well, I guess, I've managed to recreate even negative sides of old-school strategies. Because in many cases nobody's gonna tell you and you pretty much have to figure that out yourself (I'm watching Jayborino's C&C playthrough for example and this is how it feels like).

I think, creating a new difficulty level like "old-school" or something could be an option, if I will ever try to make another project. "You will not get any hints from the game, you'll have to find out exactly how to play. So, suffer!"

awesome work! Good ol days of warcraft 2 remade. I have downloaded a bunch of the models you used for me to play around with but there is one model I can't find anywhere and it looks amazing. The dwarf gryphon rider with like a white gryphon instead of brown like in game. Where can I get that?

Thank you! Go to the Object Editor and look, which model does this unit use. Then go tho the Asset Manager and extract all the files needed.

I distinctly remember the Dalaran mission:
Start top right crawl quickly to bottom, then right, try not to die, set up the base, get Lumber Mill and Guard Towers or die. Also: good luck. Also: y'll be toasted, buahahahaha.

Watch my surprise face when I sloppily clicked "attack" and merely reached the gold mine with 2 demo squad, 3 peons, 1 demolisher. lovely, it's gonna be fine... not, because some axe throwers must survive to strike down griphons.

So yeah, I am dead and have to restart - same as 30 years ago, though this time I'm 30 years older.

If this isn't 1-1 remake (except for oil) I have no idea what is. Should I just run through Humans (like through Orcs) then "nice game, cool", but no. I have been annihilated, this is the coolest experience in a long time! I love it!

5 stars.

P.S. Please, pretty please inform that it is a set of maps and not a campaign like in biggest red bolded letters ever. It took me some time to finally play it

Well, as my name is not "pretty", I can't answer your questions.

 

[pjden]

Well, as my name is not "pretty", I can't answer your questions.

BTW: It may be just my [machine, OS, settings, etc.] but whatever I do in Gul'Dan's mission after about 10 mins the game dies.
I have no idea why (time trigger for failure, something else). My workaround was to reload game before the 10 mins expired.

Has this map some Mission Failed trigger or something?

You mean dies like drops you to the Desktop or you lose the game?

I guess, it has something to do with enemy transport ships. They used to cause crashes constantly... Ah.. Jesus... Not again

I'm gonna have to rework this one and make a real campaign file. So, thank you for the feedback anyways.

 

[Sunzero]

any chance for the Orc one to be formatted into a campaign, like the human campaign ?

Yes, I am going to do this. For now I'm planning on finishing Warcraft III: Origins. But after that, remaster of Remembered is on my to-do list.
