• The story is short, I think you should improve it!
• Blizzard materials are unusable and I think you should add more custom imports
• The terrain is good for a campaign, But it can be better(I think it is no need to improve the terrain)
• Other things is this campaign are nice

 

[Chaosy]

I like it, question is: is this gonna be a custom story or an alternate one?

What I mean is, you can make it go along with the original storyline.
Kil'jaeden commands Illidan to destroy the Frozen Throne. This means that he and Mal'ganis would probably communicate at some point, which could be merged with the main storyline.
Going by lore, this does actually mean that Mal'ganis is technically not out for revenge because it's also the command of the Burning Legion to destroy the Lich King.

Or. make it custom and ignore that.

That said, I could probably have some fun assisting with some story bits.

 

[Yousef]

The quality of the campaign so far is awesome, I have no critiques, I just hope it lives 'till the end.

 

[renegade]

A campaign based on Mal'Ganis? Awesome, I could go as a map tester

EDIT : So I played the first map and I say its pretty well made but it has some weak points;

- Some grammatical mistakes in the dialogue
- Dialogue ends way too fast for my liking (They speak before the other one ends mostly.)
- Ending was meh, although he could have just summoned a portal instead of teleporting away like that

Gameplay was good, though hard since you only have Mal'Ganis and ghouls to tank. :/

 

[PrinceYaser]

And what about me for Decorator, Zenonoth??

 

[Zenonoth]

This will be a main story one following Warcraft lore, thanks a lot @Chaosy for helping me with the lore and participating.

@Yousef It will, I'm willing to complete this project unlike the other ones I've dismantled.

Will fix the issues you encountered @renegade , added you to side team.. and gave rep, would also be nice if you can send me those grammar mistakes in my inbox

And what about me for Decorator, Zenonoth??

Sure, @PrinceYaser that would be very nice of you, I've included a map that I need you to decorate.. just add whatever doodads you can to decorate it no matter how big or how small.. I'll accept it.

 

[PrinceYaser]

Ok, I will decorate it when I came from my school.

 

[renegade]

Well, since for some reason I can't post on your profile, here are the mistakes:

Grammar errors :
"You hear the voice of the Dark Lord; he whispers to you through the blade you wield.. what does he say, young human? (what) --> What does the Dark Lord of the dead tell you now?"
"What?! (he) --> He can't possibly mean to-"

P.S : Im a little confused about the second cinematic "Have you seen what happened?! Prince Arthas and a horde of undead warriors are assaulting us!" First line means its already done, second contradicts it (happening atm)

 

[Silva]

Looks like a fun campaign, liked the first map. Maybe put more effort into the story.

 

[PrinceYaser]

Hello, Zenonoth! Can I import doodads for decorating or should use Blizzaed's doodads??

Blizzard doodads will do, also thanks for your help, @PrinceYaser

Ok, I will.

 

[LISBOAH]

I like the idea of this campaign, the plot seems good. So I take Mal'Ganis will not take control of the Scarlet Onslaught like in the lore?

 

[PrinceYaser]

Hi again, Zenonoth! I've decorated your map. But I couldn't add anymore doodads because of it's limit.
However, if this is not good, just tell me to work on it!

He will, just not in the first missions.

It's good enough, thank you for your work

 

[PrinceYaser]

You're welcome! I did not do anything.

 

[renegade]

On a personal note, i think you should add custom abilities for Mal'Ganis to make gameplay much more interesting.

Hi, Zenonoth! You must delete the Replaceable ID 1 from the material of Mal'Ganis model to appear the skin that I made. Like this picture:

I've attached the model.

Very nice. Now, that is the original skin for Mal'Ganis! But please replace the new screenshots in 1st Mission and 1st Interlude with the old ones.

 

[renegade]

Hmm, items from the 1st mission are not ported over the 3rd mission, for me at least.

Game cache will be lacking from this mission and onwards due to minor errors, all errors will be fixed in the finalized version.

Will do, still need opinions and testing about my map.

 

[renegade]

Currently testing, will get back to you in a while.

 

[renegade]

The lack of an AI for the human bases is kinda sad

 

[Zenonoth]

The lack of an AI for the human bases is kinda sad

The AI will be added when all missions are finalized + this is an assault mission so it's normal they don't have an AI

3rd mission: Review

Side Quest: Book fo the dead ---> of (When the quest is first discovered)
Since there aren't any air units, i recommend removing the Web upgrade (just a waste of resources)

---- Actual Review ----

Everything works fine and well, you could at least make the Humans train units to replace lost ones. Purple's gold mine is insufficient enough for building a large army (or i'm just really bad at managing resources). The archmages could use different abilities fitting with their names (Bethor could have Ice Shard, etc.) since you just see the same skills over and over. No bugs so far, gj (expansion gold mine with 20k is really far tho.)

EDIT: Since Mal'Ganis says go find a shipyard, don't ping the shipyard and show it. :/

EDIT (2): Maybe make something attack the player, since most of the time we just wait until army is big enough to attack.

 

[Zenonoth]

The campaign will be put on a 3-5 day halt until further notice as of 10/8/2016, but still open to testing and feedback, rate, vote for the poll, and comment if you please..rewards will still be given.

 

[PrinceYaser]

Hi, Zenonoth! Did you find your decorator case??

 

[Emm-A-]

Hi Zenonoth,

I made a little system for skippable cinematics, which I also uploaded here. It was rejected, since I was too lazy, did not have time to optimize it, but it actually works fine. I just thought, that while you are still building up the map, you may use it, since it was also one of the reasons to reject it on the hive, that you have to exchange all your transmission calls by the custom ones to make it work.

 

[Zenonoth]

Yes, @PrinceYaser , I did.

Sure @Emm-A- , I can use any help necessary

Next update will feature major changes based on what everyone has provided.

 

[PrinceYaser]

Yes, @PrinceYaser , I did

Glad to hear it!

 

[renegade]

Will be watching over this thread for further development (not that i have a lot of free time but well...)

 

[GOGIMAN]

Very nice campaing man.I hope you will finish it

 

[Yousef]

I would love to help, but I have to focus on studying, all I can do is to tell you this is awesome and I hope you finish it.

 

[Zenonoth]

Added some terrain fixes to first two missions, all thanks to the hardworking, yet master decorator joaquim98.. the 4th and 5th maps are under development.

[Morris]

I don't know how the storyline will be but I liked what I saw,
custom icons, skins and the terrain
Heroes: I don't know who or if you will add more but Arthas,Tichondrius, Kil'jaeden or Archimonde must appear in the story
terrain is great, just got a bit fuzzy on mission 2, I thought there was an alternate bridge or something instead of going nearly all around the isle to get my units there
mission 1 is a bit hard but not for me , you could add 1 or 2 abominations to help tank a little and dps with nerubians. Also there is a confusing cinematic in chapter 1, when you reach the human base and the footmen talk and I'll quote by our fellow hiver

"Have you seen what happened?! Prince Arthas and a horde of undead warriors are assaulting us!" First line means its already done, second contradicts it (happening atm)

just like what renegade said.
oh it'll be great if you add custom abilities to Mal'ganis instead of his crappy originals and use QWERT keys for abilities its much better

 

[renegade]

The part with the footmen was already fixed. Custom abilities would really make for more interesting gameplay. Something demonic or etc.

 

[Fruit Forest]

1. How many mission it would contain? I got 6th level in chapter 2, is it kinda wrong?
2. You should add script that makes all group to attack a puller. I killed paladin near the crypt in chapter 2 using "body pull" - come closer, pull add and bring it one by one to my army. It's also a problem of other enemy groups.
3. Is it for me or first gold mine has too much gold into it?

 

[renegade]

Bump. Any update on the progress?

 

[joaquim98]

How is the progress Zenonoth, you have more maps for me to decorate ?
