Extended prologue campaign

[Martinez762]

Hi there. Can anybody tell me how to play the extra 3 chapters of demo campaign? I have Prologue Campaign Demo.w3n file both in the Campaigns folder where the game is installed and addidionally in documents/Warcraft III/campaigns and when I launch the game there is still nothing in Custom Campaign.

Please update your Warcraft III install to the most recent one from Battle.net (or get the pre-Reforged versions of the game here). If you already have then you are trying to place your campaign file from a different and unsupported installation of Warcraft III or you have a multiple versions of the game. If this is the case you may need to reinstall the game completely and possibly remove all registries that's causing a problem with your existing installation.

We can tell you are using a multiple versions of the game because the custom campaign file was placed in a different path. Since 1.28, the campaign (and the map) are stored in "Documents/Warcraft III/Campaigns" folder instead of the game root.

Since you have mentioned the Prologue Demo Campaign (the one with extra 3 chapters from ROC Demo), it seems that the original custom campaign made by Blizzard has missing voice lines, so it's best to use this unofficial one like below. It still works with the latest patch on Classic graphics, since the option to play all Prologue missions is only available on Reforged graphics:

Exodus of the Horde (Original Voice Over)

Exodus of the Horde with original voiceovers -- Obsolete with Reforged, only for Classic TFT -- Exodus of the Horde bonus campaign INCLUDING the voiceover which was included in Prologue Campaign that came with the original Warcraft III Demo, but was missing in TFT custom campaign. In fact this...

EDIT: It is possible to play a complete version of Prologue campaign on the latest patch, regardless of your choice to use HD or Classic HD in Reforged mode.

Worth noting, if you have an up-to-date Warcraft 3, whether you have Reforged or not, the built-in official campaigns now include the old Demo Levels as part of the Orc Prologue Campaign whether you're on Reforged or Classic settings, complete with Voiceovers.

The Prologue campaign isn't necessary to complete for the Human campaign on both pre-Reforged and Reforged versions, since both campaigns were unlocked by default, while the rest of the campaigns (including TFT storyline and "The Founding of Durotar") will require completing them one-by-one.

You can play a complete version of the Prologue campaign with old Demo Levels if you are playing on Reforged graphics, whether it's using pure HD or even the Classic HD (in 2.0). Both of them will give you the same exact thing - 3 missing Demo Levels with voiceovers.

You can also play a revamped version of "Culling of Stratholme", "Fall of Silvermoon", and "Siege of Dalaran" on Classic HD mode, though. In addition, some Reforged-exclusive features were still present with Classic HD.

Orc Prologue only includes the first 2 for Classic, however Reforged has all 5 missions.

This is correct. I'm also point out that Classic HD has all 5 missions in that campaign since it's considered a Reforged mode, so all Reforged-exclusive features (like revamped Stratholme, Silvermoon, and Dalaran maps) were still present.
