Sooooo... any idea how to extract/unzip custom maps for Reforged? Its been an hour since I started to look for info on that and found none.

Since this has not been answered, you do it as with any map, place the files (out of the archive of course) in C:\(or where your Windows is)users\username\Documents\Warcraft III\Maps\

 

[Walichrage]

I downloaded this monstrocity reforge thing only to play your campaign and have no regrets. I am really impressed with how much fun it is to play. Incredible work. I hope for more

 

[Ravager16829]

I apologize for the stupid question, I am on this site recently, but is this campaign suitable for Warcraft before Reforge? I mean not 1.32, but version 1.31. Will the campaign work?

Read the map description. 1.32 (Reforged) is required, but you can only play this map on SD Mode.

 

[Zaneling]

Hi! I've played through the first mission of this campaign and the idea seems really neat! I'm looking forward to seeing all the different types of raisable units. This is an interesting and enjoyable take on the base campaign. Unfortunately, I seem to have run into a snag. Whenever I start up the second mission, I only have 6 perk points and none of Arthas' items have carried over. I don't know why this is happening. I am playing on the latest version, 1.32.10, and I have classic settings selected. I am playing on English, I have bought reforged, I have selected the same difficulty each time, and I have replayed the first mission, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to work. I'm hesitant to continue like this, since it ruins all sense of progression and that's half the fun in a campaign of this style, especially after all the work that has been done to add interesting items and bonus objectives that give long-term rewards. Since I have no talent whatsoever with the editor myself, I thought I'd make an account just to ask. Does anyone know what the problem might be, or how to fix it? Apologies if this question has been asked already and if this isn't the best place to ask questions, but I can't find any mention of a problem like this in the forum about this campaign.

I managed to kill Uther on Brutal difficulty without a base or Arthas leaving the starting area

How I did it:
I used my starting units to kill units at the plague cauldron and loaded each corpse into a meat wagon and brought it back to Arthas at the beginning area to raise it. Then I sniped the first paladin with my meat wagons from the sasquatch ramp and simply repeated the bring each corpse to Arthas with meat wagons process.
My cultists and necromancers were able to raise hundreds of zombies from the plague cauldron, used them mainly as fodder.
Destroyed the trees under the first paladins base so my meat wagons could snipe the buildings from the second paladin's base.

Shadow priests, Shadowspawn and numerous fallen spear throwers were enough to bring each paladin (including uther) down without any un-renewable casualties

Sadly, arthas still had to leave the starting area for me to entirely finish the mission...

Spoiler: Uh oh xD

 

[arman193]

The story of this campaing is very boring we played warcraft 3 arthas story thousund time let make other warcraft or wow lore not same :/

 

[Siriuva]

This is one of the few reasons people play Reforged. Is a good campaing, but not perfect.
I would like to make known about the catacombs, those that take out ghouls, I thought of it as a tower that creates units to explore or units to defend the base, like shock troops that buy time for the main army. Something that happened in the sixth mission is that after finishing 4 catacombs for ghouls to appear and act as decoys, i finished with the map full of them. Is it possible that in the future there may be a limit for the catacombs or a certain limit of Ghouls on the map?
By the way, i lost all my progress once (items and scourge perks) and I think it is because I started the game on another computer user. So it's my fault and also something to consider.

Sooooo... any idea how to extract/unzip custom maps for Reforged? Its been an hour since I started to look for info on that and found none.

You (and others who will need a answer) can read [THIS] thread about custom campaigns, but is a no, for now... The way i play this custom campaing (right now) is to put the custom maps in a folder (Path of the Damned Revamp) and thar folder has to be located in C:\Users\the-user-you-used-to-download-Warcraft\Documents\Warcraft III/Maps/

I apologize for the stupid question, I am on this site recently, but is this campaign suitable for Warcraft before Reforge? I mean not 1.32, but version 1.31. Will the campaign work?

Sadly no. And will need the English version.

Requires the latest Warcraft 3 Patch -> 1.32.10.17380 with Classic Graphics!

This campaign was made using the ENGLISH version of Warcraft 3 and will likely not work with other game languages!

For those who downloaded the game in another language (like me, yay....) it is possible to change it. With Battle.net, the options before playing Warcraft, it is possible to change only the text options (not audio), a minor download and there will be no need to download again for English and with the language you originally downloaded.

 

[Questionable Object]

I had to make an account just so I could comment, this campaign is amazing absolute quality. I had to try it after seeing Jaybreno play a few missions and I love it. This is just as good if not better than anything Blizzard could've come up with.

 

[Questionable Object]

Well now I gotta come back like a jackass and report some weirdness. The first few missions give such a fantastic impression. The Catacombs building doesn't seem to work at all, The Key of Three Moons, first mission you get it, it won't spawn anything. Additionally on both of the QUel'Thalas missions there's a significant difficulty spike, I keep getting constant, large attack waves of elves, either simultaneously or one after the other in rapid succession. Playing on Normal btw. The constant swarms of units wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the heroes that always accompany them, almost all of them have powerful AoE abilities and level up as they kill things, so they'll drop a big stun AoE (Sylvanas's stunning frost arrow volley is very annoying) or a shockwave and spike up a couple of levels. You barely manage to replenish your forces before another chain of waves come.

 

[Questionable Object]

After finishing the campaign gotta say its over all pretty great. The first two Quel'Thalas missions are a pretty big difficulty hike then things kind of mellow out really hard afterwards lol. The Catacombs building is a neat idea and I like it adds to the swarms of undead feel its just a little buggy sometimes. Specifically on Key of Three Moons it won't spawn any ghouls and Under The Burning Sky any ghouls that spawn from it are hostile to the player.
Regardless I still think this is an amazing campaign its everything I could've wanted from Regorged.

 

[Blasterixx]

Cool campaign, i finished all missions on brutal, on the latest version of War3.

Spoiler: ~Small Review~

~Positives:

- For starters the most important positive thing i can say about this campaign is the fact that all units, heroes and the selection buildings at the start of every mission have the Q W E R T system implemented, is such a small but important thing that all custom maps and campaigns need, and this one has it so, Great job for that!

- I really liked the new concept of raising the fallen enemy units as permanent undead zombified units of their original selves!
Such a cool concept, and the fact that most units even the unique ones can be raised like that was truly the highlight of the whole campaign.
All of them having unique and cool undead zombified skins and even new spells and passives, loved it!

- Having to choose from multiple spells, race bonuses and A.I. units at the start of every mission was another great concept, I liked most spells even tho clearly some spells are better than the others, for example the 50% lifesteal passive was pretty insane! it was very hard not too choose it each mission.

Also liked that we could use lots of points to summon the bonus hero Dalvengyr for some missions, and when he dies he can't revive, pretty neat.

- Arthas being able to level up till lvl 50 was interesting, but other than extra stats i would have loved to see him get other bonuses for leveling up.

- I obviously liked the whole revamp aspect, most if not all missions and even cutscenes were changed for the better in my opinion, you really enhanced quite a lot of the original experience from the og campaign, in that aspect you did a great job.

- Having those extra heroes from the altar to play with was great! they sure enhanced the gameplay experience, each of them was unique and done well, also having another hero (The Lich) that can rise permanent undead was nice to have other than Arthas himself!

- Having to not pay any taxes to the upkeep was truly a blessing, especially when you can mass tons of undead units having to pay taxes for all of them would be bad for gameplay and also it would not make any sense from a logical aspect since who would we actually pay those taxes to anyway? to the Lich King?

Having to pay for upkeep was always a big problem in my eyes with Warcraft 3 in general, i mean sure it works for the melee gameplay aspect, but it doesn't work anywhere else, especially for campaigns, the only thing it really does is to just harm the gameplay experience by making the player have less units to play with and also less gold. So you did the right thing to take them out all together and have none of that low-high upkeep nonsense!

- I like how most units had their collision size reduced so the undead armies aren't that clunky when they move, that was a really good idea!

- The achievments and challenges were nice, even tho most of the times i pretty much ignored some of them cuz i just wanted to play however i wanted, but them being there is better than nothing for sure.


~Negatives/Bugs:

- It seems like the attack speed of all heroes gets reduced in these chapters: Chapter 3, 4, 8 and on all difficulties, not sure if this is a glitch or if is intended, either way is a bad thing.

On Chapter 5, 6, 7 and 9 their attack speed came back to normal based on their stats which is fast attack speed.

- The Catacombs structure that summons ghouls is pretty glitchy.

In Chapter 5 the building doesn't spawn ghouls at all.
In Chapter 6 it works as intended.
In Chapter 7 it works as intended.
In Chapter 8 the ghouls don't have shared vision with the player, so i can't see them on the map.
In Chapter 9 the ghouls become hostile to the player.

The Ghouls should share the same upgrades as the player i think. Them having 0 - 0 upgrades is kinda sad.

- This custom campaign is lacking quite a lot in the items department, i think there were only 2 or 3 unique items and even those were only from the first missions and they gave like + 3 agi and str, or + 6 str, the rest of the items were either the same classic ones or even weaker with just different skins and names like +5 dmg and + 2 armor.

That was pretty bad, there should be a much bigger variety in items, strong items should be dropped from heroes and bosses, also there should be secret ones as well.


~Suggestions:

- The main suggestion i can give to this custom campaign is a button which controls all the undead units (except workers) to make your whole army attack move in one place, for example Arthas can have this ability, similar to the normal attack move but for the entire undead army, units and heroes alike, this is a must especially when you have so many undead units scattered around all over the place, zombies, skeletons, reanimated and zombified enemy units that were raised and forgotten on the old battlefields, is such a headache to always have to come back and hotkey all of them just to tell them to attack move somewhere else, So having 1 button/spell that does that for all of them is a must in my eyes!

- Like i said there have to be more items, especially stronger and unique ones through out the campaign, items are very important in my opinion, they can enhanced the gameplay experience by a lot!

For example you can make it that stronger items similar to the ones you get at the start like the + 3str/agi stats can drop at higher difficulties.
At hard it can drop +5 all stats and at Brutal it can drop + 15 dmg or +7 all stats for example.

- More bonuses to choose from at the beginning of the missions would be great, similar to Dalvengyr, maybe with 20 points you can get a Stronger Pit Lord Hero or something similar, or maybe with 15 points you can enhance the ghouls that come from the catacombs to become Elite ghouls that have op stats, the sky is the limit with those bonuses basically.



~Bonus Chapter with Kael

Bugs:
- Spell breakers don't regen mana, even when they are near the arcane generators, after building 4 of them it seems like they do regen, nvm.

- Arcane wagons can't enter boats.

I had a good laugh when i tried to attack Garithos out of curiosity, i did not expect at all for him to become hostile and to actually send his entire army to kill me haha even the villagers and the kids came to attack me lol

This mission was nice, interesting concept with the mana, the less u have the higher the negatives, and if u have more you got positives, the whole race being based on mana is cool.





Overall i very much enjoyed playing through this campaign, it sure is one of the better versions of the other custom campaigns that try to enhance the classic War3 stories!

My final rating for this Custom Campaign is an A

P.S I always found this moment in the og campaign and here pretty hypnotising, the acolytes doing their summoning magic and those pentagrams and their nice color makes the whole scene awesome.

[Deleted member 255104]

This is one good campaign. Really high quality stuff.
I really like the ideas. Expanded 'default' campaign with different difficulty levels, selectable abilities, etc.
But 1.32 requirement just straight-up kills it for me. Aww.

I highly recommend playing this campaign for anyone who has 1.32 ver of the game. Because it's what the reforged campaigns should've been.

 

[Sapprine]

Found a pretty neat bug I think! If you spam press the "Start mission" ability on the frostmourne pedestal fast enough, you get 2x the starting units and heroes!

 

[Kordan]

In case no1 said yet: summon royal gurds activates Flesh to power

 

[Kordan]

Just finished this campaign again had a LOT of fun especially destroying bases in the last mission.

I would add I heard you wanted to enchance it, well would be nice to see more impactful items and possible new tier 2 perks honestly those that are there doesn't make much difference except void-units builds and fly units upgrade. I mean nerubians meh you wont have an army of only them.

Also may be there could be a perk of some sort around this - when u start a mission you have a little time window before you reached 100 limit so that you can build some good units namely aboms, 2 statues probably some casters and wyrms. May be this could be delayed somehow idk.

Also if Im honest different units are cool but many of them are somewhat useless. I mean arch liches, slow dudes, may be nerubians. I know some of them for early game y just saying, may be there could be some ideas around that. May be add Death knights as units hm. Anyway lots of fun just small things that might make it better - items, perks, may be tweaking new units so that you could have a build around them or but making them more impactful.

Bear in mind there's no time to click all their abilities when u have 4-5 heroes and some casters

 

[Kasrkin]

Once more with feeling, lots of screenshots. Figured I'd just post what I have for now.

• Lichlings
• Green square of doom when requirements aren't met.
• Caster mastery is a bit skewed.
• Are the dalaran factions meant to have any attack/armor upgrades?
• Kel'thuzad goes green for one dialogue line.
• Farstrider challenge does not show as completed as others would.
• Farstrider faction's upgrades are a tad odd.
• My confusion at seeing a random farstrider seemingly coming from nowhere.
• Upgrades/mastery for all enemy factions in the silvermoon mission are strange, attack but no points into armor.
• "Its ancient powers"
• Orc and allied upgrades don't seem right in this mission.
• Endless torment's upgrade tooltip and the actual ability on the unit are different. 180 seconds compared to 300 on the units. And no mention of swordsmen I guess.
• And some random knights got stuck behind a barracks but I don't know if that was a newly built barracks or a pre placed.
• Neither Fallen Grunts or Ogres actually benefit from undead upgrades.
• Hath's hotkey for his ult is a bit far on the keyboard heh.
• While it's not that important the shaman upgrade doesn't actually match any units and the peons themselves cost food.
• Remaining rock chunks we meet again.
• Choosing Lords of Death does not actually match up to the option that shows up when you select it. Correct faction in-game though.
• "A council of six down to a gathering of five."
• This last one is probably me just being annoying but I noticed the spawner.

 

[KingSlender]

i would love to try this but i currently can't use the 1.32 version it would be amazing if it's available on 1.29 or 1.31 though

 

[Sapprine]

Playing through the recent update atm, found this random acolyte in hiding that wouldnt interact with Arthas.

Spoiler: Traitor

(also notice minimap amongus lol)

Mission 1
- Tome of Power dropped by the Paladin in Mission 1 is redundant, everyone will have Arthas level 5 by then.
- Throughout the mission, Arthas has been randomly gaining +16 exp every other minute or so while none of my stuff is in combat
- The guy hiding with the sheep looks a bit off

Spoiler: Sneak 100 lol

- Captain Marwyn (Purple summon dude) has raise dead on default auto-cast, often messing up my Call of the Dead rotation
- Two random female villagers stuck behind trees

Spoiler: Vandermar secret tea party

- I forgot to do the Golems, but now I can't because of the Acolytes (mostly my fault, but a path way would be nice)

Spoiler: RIP Stone Token

Update: I noticed I had 2 random zombified peasants, they were able to destroy some trees, stone token acquired!

Mission 2

- double-pressing the Start Mission button still works, I got 6 Meat Wagons and two of every hero.

Spoiler: Stonks

- Araj stuck in trees at start of mission?

Spoiler: Araj secret tea party

Plot twist: Meat Wagons are able to kill the tree Araj, allowing you to revive him and have two at once!

Spoiler: Plot twist

- Kinda bothered that Meat Wagon kills destroy corpses, but oh well, so be it. (I'm not doing a min-max run like before)
- Bug where you can kill Uther without Arthas ever leaving the starting area / without a base still works

Spoiler: I recommend putting a barrier there

- New Building Acquired message kinda in an unconventional color (could be intentional, idk)

Spoiler: Color code heresy

- Thessarian still has slice heavy sounds, should be bash
- Villagers in front of first paladin's base don't actually morph to Militia
- Random dog critters are hostile (maybe give them an attack value or add them to some waves?)
- Demon Claws item says increases attack damage by 5, but it actually increases it by 6.

Spoiler: Stonks (again)

- Plague Cauldron Quest Update plays 'Quest Discovered' sound instead of Quest Update when it updates
- Any unit put right in front of this particular house will disappear from the game, for good

Spoiler: This house contains 2 meat wagons

- Uther died before the cinematic (again) Didn't even really notice it was him, thought it was just the 2nd paladin dying lol

Spoiler: RIP Uther

- Inconsistent quest message coloring

Spoiler

- Incorporeal scourge perk not applied to the spectral sasquatch

Spoiler: very cool unit btw :)

Just to confirm I do actually have the perk and am not wasting your time.

- Weird meat wagon glitch

Spoiler: idk either

- Minor spelling mistake: "Achievement" instead of "Achievment"

Spoiler: Achievment Completed

- Suggestion: Would be cool if you could set a Rally point of the Plague Cauldrons

Mission 3

- All heroes' attack speed are really slow compared to mission 2
- Altar of the Darkness affected by Human Masonry upgrades
- Headmaster's Will lacks item description

Spoiler: Boosts intelligence by 6 and attack damage by 3.

- Gargoyles serve almost no purpose in this mission

Mission 4
- Mirdoran the Fallen uses Creature Carapace instead of unholy armor
- Random high elf villagers around the map aren't hostile
- Magic Runestone has an attack, but doesnt use it
- Dark Ranger and Nathanos' Plague Hounds not classified as undead
- Random scourge buildings use Human Masonry upgrades
- Dark Ranger is affected by secondary spellcaster training while it shouldnt be
- Deatholme is redundant and buggy... The AI tries to build way too much stuff in a tiny area, troops get suck and they make 500 zombies lagging the map

Spoiler: Suggestions Deatholme Fix

I recommend capping the amount of zombies they can have and increasing the aggressiveness (usefulness) of their AI.
Also perhaps set the pathing size of their builds smaller or disabled on some, idk.

Alternatively, I have another cool idea that may or may not take a little while to implement, but may be worth it.

As soon as you unlock Deatholme ally, give the player's workers (both zombf. peasant and Acolyes) to construct a Deatholme Banner. When a banner is placed, all deatholme production structures will set their rally point there. To make these units actually go somewhere, have an ability on the banner that when cast causes all deatholme combat units to attack-move to the cast point.

Bugs foresight: Deatholme banner should be placable off-blight, only have like 50 hp and limited to only one. Destroying it causes all deatholme units to casually (gradually) return to their base. When a banner attack move point is set, ALL deatholme combat units should charge immediately.

- In my opinion, you should unlock cannon towers in this mission (because you also get abominations)


Mission 5
- Call of NerZhul Arthas ability not pickable at start of mission
- The abomination that arrives as reinforcement isnt the special bloodgorger guy from last mission
- Catacombs not working
- Enemy bases run out of gold too fast; you should punish the player for taking long, not reward them
- Nerubian Tower deserves a buff from its standard 8-10 damage attack, especially since you moved it up in the techtree
- The Secret pathway leading to that lightning mage tower area is too narrow for any hero to go through

Spoiler: Don't put secrets behind trees *wink wink*

- Reavers are still way too powerful for their cost, I recommend making them a 3-food unit and +75 gold cost
- Nerubian Desecrators too weak/not worthwhile, I recommend making them a 2-food unit instead of 3, they're literally all-round weaker than Reavers and somehow cost more lol
- Terramancer unit does not raise with Call of the Dead
- Large part of the top of the map are empty/don't offer any items/purpose to clear the area
- Elves hostile to creeps that defended fountain of mana

Spoiler: that's what I assume happened here anyway

- Final encounter too easy, none of the many units have any upgrades
- not enough time to pick up item dropped by Sylvannas
- last cinematic not skippable

Mission 6
- Call of Nerzhul still not selectable
- Mission can be started twice again by spamming the frostmourne pedestal
- Mission too easy, even on Brutal


I'll be listing more bugs to this Reply if I encounter any
I'm playing the new update on Hard diff consistently throughout the entire thing

 

[Kasrkin]

Right before I forget again, there is a hostile dark ranger that starts as an enemy and on hard you can easily clear the map long before the summoning is close to being finished. INHUMAN

Dude, please read the "Recommended Version" first. This map is for Reforged (1.32), so you can't play it on Classic.

I don't think I ever actually rated this, easiest 5 stars of my life. The Revamp project is the most creative of the vanilla campaign overhaul genre. I have a full playthrough on my YT channel for details.

He's wrong - this project uses Reforged, so you need to move entire "Path of the Damned Revamp" folder into maps category.

So I need to own reforge if I wanted to play? Mine are cracked warcraft 3

 

[The Nightmare Book]

Which is Reforged, obviously.

Next time, you should check the "Recommended Version" BEFORE downloading the maps!
Any maps that are made with 1.32 version is ONLY meant to be played on Reforged, either Classic or HD mode.

 

[Vidar]

I have to say, I'm SUPER impressed by your attention to detail with lore character. Dar'khan's lieutenants, Belovir, Thas'alah, the Council of Six, it's just really well-done and polished. Awesome job!

 

[BloodyTerra]

Saves appear to be nonfunctioning in 1.33, a bummer.

 

[Viking]

Yo man, when will you update this? Lots of bugs and etc. Good map, fresh look but still. And what about other campaigns? I dont see any replies from SevenBlood is he okay?

 

[Eichenfrosch]

very fun, could be harder, i didnt do the achievements though, it was a bit annoying to not be able to build anything because some hero revived a licling, this continues to summon stuff and the food bar is always full until i searched every zombie and charged them into the enemy base, i think it would be better if zombies didnt cost supply, they´re too weak to impact much anyway ,but everything else is great and good balanced.

By the way is the campaign available on the HD graphics or is it just classic SD graph?

As I remember, it's only SD graphics but you can play it on current Reforged version still.

 

[RocketHops]

Its pretty cool, i like how spammy everything is, though its kind of difficult to juggle two types of races so to speak when dealing with undead peasants and acolytes. Its also quite hard to read sometimes, theres always so much going on all at once that it can be a bit overwhelming when learning so many new things. I do however adore the use of points, little upgrades to play around with, though sometimes i couldnt tell they were doing anything, and i really enjoyed the first mission with how big you can make your army, instead of having to sneak around (the named units that you can raise are also gigantic wins) Thumbs up though, was a fun romp

 

[Stormrage164]

As I remember, it's only SD graphics but you can play it on current Reforged version still.

Thanks, I was afraid some stuff breaks when played on reforged, which is common in custom campaign

 

[Sapprine]

I keep coming back to this occasionally lol, trying out new strategies and synergies. It's sad that many of the bugs I mentioned previously (<- post) remain unfixed, though.

And also, now I've kinda "mastered" all the aspects and little exploitative quirks of the campaign, I'm starting to find the difficulty rather lacking -- even on Brutal. I'd like to request either a rework of the Brutal difficulty (making it harder) or a 'Nightmare/Impossible' difficulty that'll truly, truly be an ultimate test of the player's wits once they've mastered all aspects of this amazing campaign.

 

[nv4]

The way interludes are done to look more cinematic is very nice.
The extra chapter is fine, but it's somewhat too simple and I wish there were more to it. Especially looking at how cool added chapters in Curse of the Blood Elves Revamp are.
Scourge perks, custom kit for Arthas and choosable AI behavior are very interesting additions. And I like how the scourge here is made to be what it's supposed to be - a massive horde of undeads, constantly raising to assault the living. However, selection mechanic in Warcraft is not really fit fo that, and it becomes really hard to control such numerous armies. It makes it rather hard to micro everything, yet alone do it properly. And as a result, for example, I never bothered with a perk that gives mana shield to elven undead units - I have enough stuff to micro as is, no time for checking which newly revived elves need that turned on.
Zombies made to be a sort of "bulk" of undead army is also an interesting change. But them taking up limit is quite a questionable decision. They're too weak to make up an actual army but also very likely to interfere with building actual army due to food limit. And also bodyblocking, which can get especially annoying when enemies have lots of dangerous backliners that I can't reach with my actual units due to bodyblocking. So often zombies end up more of a hindrance than something useful. Though at least later on ossuary helps with that.
Some secondray quests were removed in favor of placing more AI players. On one hand, it's great and makes for more large scale battles. On the other hand, I wish there was something more interesting than that. The large scale battles are cool and all, but every map being like that without much change gets somewhat old. And even some added quests, like the one with Thas'alah, is again just more fighting.
Played on 1.32.10, all done on brutal difficulty with all achievements at once. Speaking of achievements, a lot of them tend to be "don't kill that, don't use that", which makes sense as it makes the gameplay harder, but also more boring in a way. Also confusing having achievements to NOT kill something when revamp is mostly combat related, so to say. Achievemnts like "complete in under X minutes, kill X within Y minutes" make much more sense.

Spoiler: Thoughts

Primary ability
1) Obliterate - no reason to spend half hp to deal damage just to a single unit. Especially when other options are better.
2) Shadowguard - it's just 2 shadowspawns. It could be useful for early chapters but it's not even available there yet. Very weak.
Secondary ability
3) Royal Guard is very weak despite costing the most out of all spells. And it's even possible to use Control Magic on captains, so enemies can turn them against you.
4) Dread Aura - not the bad skill by itself, but it's unlocked in the same chapter as obsidian statue is unlocked and it also provides dread aura. Considering other benefits of obsidian statue and the fact that auras don't stack, I'd much rather have obsidian statue in my army and therefore Arthas' Dread Aura is pretty much obsolete.
5) Bulwark - again not the bad skill by itself, but by the time it's unlocked there's just no need for it really, Arthas is already very tank.
Ultimate ability
6) Night of the Living Dead - is not worth it. Yes, 50 units a whole lot, but 300 seconds cooldown is a lot more and 60 seconds duration is not much. And you're very likely to resurrect even less than that. Also, galvanized units won't even have upgrades and probably won't even rise where you truly need them.
7) Obey! - is pretty much pointless - there are just no worthy units to control. And even then, why would I want that if my strongest units are undead anyway? Charm is strong in 1v1 melee, where even 1 unit can sometimes make a difference. But here its impact is just marginally low, especially with 120 seconds cooldown.
8) Inevitability - 50 DPS is cool but without being able to cast on heroes its use is very limited. Practically, Champion of the Scourge provides way more damage output and heal, and 150 mana once in 2 minutes does not compensate for that at all.

Scoure perks
9) Slash and Burn is outright pointless - I never had any shortage of lumber. Especially since workers don't take up limit here.
10) Dalvengyr - sucks.
Dreadwalk doesn't really fit his kit. Dalvengyr already has passive invisibility and movement speed "competes" with Netherwalk as a mobility tool. 100 extra damage for 1 hit is negligible.
Soul Harvest damages all nearby units, not just enemies. And has 240 seconds cooldown with 30 second duration, and the damage bonus isn't even that great. So it's a rather weak ability.
Sleep is good for vanilla melee maps, where it allows to surrond and kill enemy hero, which in 1v1 can be very crucial. So again, not the bad skill by itself, but not suited for this campaign.
All in all, Dalvengyr's impact is pretty much just his basic attacks, which (without Soul Harvest) are comparable to 1.5-2 abominations with full attack upgrades.
So yeah, for 10 points you can gain way more than a mediocre demi hero.

11) Nathanos' skill set is just a bunch of random spells.
12) Araj has no reason to have Banish. If anything, Call of Ner'Zhul would fit him much better.
13) Ossuary - Summon Supplies is pretty stuid, it's very weak and possibly even counterbeneficial. Why does it set the resources to 1000 instead of simply adding 1000?
14) Bone Furnace is pretty much pointless. At no point throughout the campaign had I ever the need for lumber and spare units at the same time. I'd much rather have cauldron as a buildable structure.
15) Frost Wyrm is very nish even in the vanilla game, and here it's complete trash. Even higher resources cost AND food cost, but lower damage and no AOE. And is now suspeptible to mana burn due to having mana despite having no usable spells. And all that just for a little higher armor and type being heavy. The ONLY reason to build frost wyrm here is to use Corpse Bomb on it. And even then abomination costs less resources and food and has comparable hp pool. Or since it's easier to do with flying units, just use destroyers or reavers.
16) Speaking of reaver, 2 food cost for the stats it has is extremely good.
Chapter 2
17) Looks weird how Araj is present in starting cutscene and then suddenly gone. Would be better to leave a simple necromancer introduce those meat wagons as was in the original campaign.
Chapter 8
18) I know some people dislike the anti-undead field, but I think it was a pretty cool idea and a great way to add some qunieness to the level. So I highly disapprove its removal here.

Spoiler: Bugs

1) Marwyn has Raise Dead and Summon Shadowspawn both bound to Q.
2) Hall of the Damned has Research Backpack which requires Arcane Vault constructed.
3) Chitinous Plating doesn't affect reavers.
4) Ghouls from Catacomb aren't affected by attack & defense upgrades.
Chapter 4
5) Villagers are neutral instead of hostile neutral or belonging to any hostile AI.
Chapter 7
6) Can't select Call of Ner'Zhul.
Chapter 8
7) Desecration doesn't heal anyone.
8) Arthas, Nathanos, Thassarian have slow attack speed.
9) "I'll do it myself" achievement counts completed regardless of choosing ally AI.
Chapter 9
10) One dark ranger at the right passage to Kel'Thuzad is owned by Kirin Tor.

i have wc3 and it dont work at all i keep geting error, wc3 both reforged and classic so cant play this awesome map any more even when i have it on classic, i will change Rating when it gets updated and works for 1.36.0 and up! or if some one knows a video that shows how to download it and play it.

If you want to play this campaign without error, you have to read this advice:

Requires the latest Warcraft 3 Patch -> 1.32.10.17380 with Classic Graphics!

Also, if you still face the game crashing error, you probably delete all unwanted saves and try to clean a high amount of RAM by deleting all unwanted process in Task Manager.

Please refrain from rating especially when the issue is not the resource (in this case campaign) but the user trying it wrongly.

Another entertaining and fun campaign. Loved the new quests and maps. I could actually feel like the plague was literally a scourge that ravages everything on it's way.

Good job! I'd love to keep playing more of your works~!

Awesome reforging of the campaign. Would have been great to play with the Reforged graphics since the campaign uses the Reforged update, but whatever.
Arthas is as powerful as you'd expect, since his upgrade of taking Frostrmourne. Always felt weird to finish the human campaign at lvl 10 Arthas as a paladin, and then start Path of The Damned, and you control a puny lvl 1 death night Arthas who struggles to fight the most basic unit. However, this campaign makes him reach a point where he's almost invincible. That was a great experience.

10/10
when i frist played path of the damned when got the game i was so dispointed due the fact that arthas cant use raise the dead and when i got the necromancers i was so damn disappointed due to the fact that thir raise the dead last like 100 sec or so i was so disappointed that i wanted to stop playing the game when i revived kel'thuzad the archnecromancer that you know mad the cult of the damn i was thinking that all his abilities would be necro related but nope. this custom camping is what the undead shold have been in wc3 in my own opinion the fact that i completed all of it with training little to know units and the fact that you can choose arthas abilities from mission to mission and theres alot of them + a custom tech tree + alot of units + an actual raise the dead that make senes ( like what was blizzard thinking when necromancer can make 2 skelton out of one body like how does this make senes)

I think you need to team up with the guys who do Re-Reforging, I think together you can create a truly unique campaign
Thank you for this campaign, I completed it with nostalgia for the first time

Someone told me that your campaigns had increased hero level cap, and DotA-like item recipes in addition to more abilities, but I couldn't read them from the page description. Is this true?
