Sorry, but this is definitely too simple in scope and work.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Started making videos for this - the Human campaign is much easier because of Divine Shield, but I suspect all the others will be WAY harder.

It varies from mission to mission. The no-build missions are the most interesting by far. The Final Scourge campaign being the best for this. For entertainment's sake, you could always handicap yourself by, say, not using divine shield, animated dead or other abilities that completely trivialize the challenge.

If you have any issues/feedback whatsoever, I'll happily fix it as soon as I can. You can either communicate with me through here or Wtii's discord server. You may also want to ONLY download a campaign once you're ready to play it just to be sure it's up to date. I'll be double checking the campaigns for potential bugs just for good measure.

Simple idea, great execution, good fun to be had. Sometimes stuff like this that is small in scope provides the most unique of experiences.

Thank you.

Speaking of which, I have been working on adding a separate mode you can select at the start of every mission to balance the melee units a bit as well giving some of the more useless spells some utility just like in the Sc2 version. I don't know if you intend to continue on with the other campaigns but if you are, I will be posting the Undead campaign with said modifications tomorrow.

Very good idea, it's a simple concept but that doesn't make it bad so you have my 5 stars

Question about the Enhanced version - it feels like the 2 and 3 HP units change things quite a lot, but I'm also interested in the changes to the abilities. I don't want to request a sweeping change, but was more curious about if there were basically impossible spots where the HP changes were considered the better choice?

Both are equally as viable. One just offers a greater variety of play so as to make it more of an interesting experience.

Having seen your latest video though, I'll accommodate with an in-between mode for you. Might take some time to update though.

Also, there are unfortunate loading bugs that you may encounter that are completely out of my control. Such as accelerated animations (which I'm not sure if it only affects the visuals) to models just not loading at all (Wtii had that had happen with golems and elven swordsmen becoming invisible). Still waiting on a Blizzard patch to fix it but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

 

[Jayborino]

Ah, the current version bug with the broken models is too bad. Sorry to all the creators who get hit by this with nothing you can do about it. I've heard maybe changing to a different graphics setting could address it, I'll try.

 

[Nazgrel]

The campaign doesn't allow you to shift from SD to HD by default. I'll have an update out by tonight that will allow you to do just that for when the bug occurs. It will also come with Vanilla+ so as to give you access to the altered spells without any health alterations.

As a word of advice, I suggest turning foliage completely off to improve performance.

The enchanted version could be interesting... I mean, have you thought about the defense upgrades could give a passive like Mountain Giant's Hardened Skin? Like a passive skill could block an attack every so often...
