[Campaign] WC3: Enhanced & Expand/Revitalized (OFFICIAL THREAD) - Relive the story of Warcraft 3, bigger than ever

[bakuma]

Welcome everyone to the official WC3 Enhanced & Expand/Revitalized thread!
This is the place where I'm post updates about the development of the two enhanced campaign series: RoCEX and TFT Revitalized, for Classic Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne
(Requires Warcraft 3: TFT patch 1.24a-1.28c to play)

Developed by just one person, this campaign series is primary focused on mixing content from Warcraft 3 (and its TFT Expansion), and other assets/features from other Blizzard games like Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, WC2: Tides of Darkness (and its expansion Beyond the Dark Portal), Diablo and Starcraft + original content especially made for the campaign themselves.

Info about the v3.0-pre1 for the Human Campaign:

- Human Race

• Remove the Elven Dragonhawk from the campaign (for temporarily reason, will be added back in a later version)
• Converted the RoC versions of Flying Machine and Siege Engine back to Gyrocopter and Steam Tank
  (plus converted Spell Breakers and Lieutenants into their High Elves version to match the campaign style of Reign of Chaos)
• Nerf Animal War Training's hit point bonus from 150 to 100
• Due to the upgrade's change; Knights, Dragonhawk Riders and Gryphon Riders' hit points are increased by 50
• Pulse Firing has been renamed to Stimpacked and with a new icon
• Added a new upgrade;
  - Elven Mage Armor: Increase the armor of Priests and Sorceresses.
• The original Sundering Blades upgrade has changed to Royal Highness with a new icon and description;
  - Royal Highness: Upgrades the Sundering Blades ability, which increases the damage that Knights dealt to Unarmored and Medium armor units.
• Due to this change, instead of researching it from the Barracks, Knights now has Sundering Blades by default

- Orc Race

• Revamped the Blackrock Clan's base in Blackroll and Roll

- Undead Race

• Added a new unit: Butcher, a giant melee unit that has huge health and it's a chaos-typed attacker. (Currently it has no use in the campaign and it will be implemented in the next update.)

- Other Things

• Custom models are updated & optimized
• Fixed more bug issues + improve tweaks

"this ain't a copy of soviet" it's different from the enhance campaign because it has content from other games rather than just warcraft 3, and it's developed for 3+ years so don't please bash our project because it could revive classic warcraft 3, thank you for your understanding.

I mean... You know you can just... Pass it right?
Like you don't have to be rude to people just becuase you don't want to play it.
You can simply... Don't play it.
There are people behind this project who are simply fans of the game,
Who wants to make something they think will be fun and intresting.
Not for you? Okay, just pass it, maybe create something by yourself.
There is no reason to just "Sheit" on it.
You're not even paying for it,
It's literally free will of the modders to do something that they want.
Can't you just... Leave this part of modding community that it's revitilisint/enchancing general campaigns and find something you will enjoy instead?

Keep doing the project guys, Hope you will be proud of final effect.
I personally will check it out, Not sure how I feel about marine there?
I don't like adding futuristic technology into fantasy like this (especially since they have steam technology and rifles, so marine feels really out of place)
But that's my opinion and I'm curious how are you implementing it and connecting to the plot.

Be kind to one-another,
Mavcik

Hi, the truth is that at this point it is very difficult to create a project of this type that offers something different or interesting, it has been done many times and although most of them are generic, there are some very good projects. Be that as it may, don't take this the wrong way, I as a WarCraft custom content creator know the enormous amount of work that goes into making anything, so I encourage you to keep going. Although it seems that everything is invented, it is always possible to surprise.

On the other hand, a piece of advice, ignore the disrespectful idiots who have never done anything with World Editor in their lives.

Regards.

Going to second that. It may be difficult to really stand out with this kind of project but any kind of content is good content. Also, having played most of the modifications on the bases campaigns out there, even if there is a similar feel, there is always some variety and uniqueness.
Also I understand that going with pre-existing campaigns can be more comfortable and it's great for getting familiar with the editor.

Overall, if that's something you wanna do, keep going and keep posting it, no matter what people say, there will still be people to have fun with your maps.

PS : Just the name of the thread states "threat" instead of "thread" which is hilarious but might come out as too agressive

Get ready....

Classic Warcraft 1 content is coming to RoCEX

 

[bakuma]

v3.0-pre2 is out now today

v3.0-pre3 will be released in may before focusing on the Prologue Campaign

 

[bakuma]

Hmm....

Warcraft 3 plus Warcraft 2 plus New Game+ plus.... wait a second? New game plus?
New Game+ is coming to RoCEX!
(it will firstly introduced with the human campaign pre-3 release soon)

 

[bakuma]

The items implementation will be featured starting in the Human Campaign v3.0-pre3 and onwards.

Here's the item tier definition:
1. Bronze Tier - Items can be bought in a item shop.

2. Silver Tier - Items has one abilities/bonuses from an item.

2.5. Gold Tier - Same equivalent as a silver rarity, but this tier is especially made for items that has VFX (or special effects/buffs) at an item or has higher attributes than silver does.
(Example: Orb of Fire can held and rotates in the Hero's weapon when it's item is carried)
NOTICE: This rarity's feature is also applied to higher rarity from Platinum to onwards.

3. Platinum - Same equivalent as a gold tier, but has higher attributes than a gold item does.

4. Legendary Tier - Items has three abilities/bonus from an item.

5. Mythic Tier - Items has four abilities/bonus from an item. Can be obtained at the final chapter of the campaign.

6. Divine Tier - The highest rarity that the item can have. Has the same equivalent as a mythic, but has higher attributes than a mythic does. This rarity can only be access by completing the regular campaign first, then play through the entire campaign again with New Game Plus until you reach the final chapter of the campaign.

• The spell upgrades for Clerics and Conjurers are now based on the Initiate/Adept/Master training upgrades

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Human Campaign v3.0-pre3 is delayed until next month due to insistent demand and many backlash about the campaign.
For the next few days, I'll polished every bit of the campaign and implement better content like fixing staff from classic set, so this campaign is going to be better that it can be. Thank you for your understanding.

In other words, the next part of the series, Exodus of the Horde (which New Game Plus is going to be introduced) will be launched next month and I have planned to release beta versions of the campaign in this thread so it will be much easier to feedback with you.

Have a nice day everyone.
