I finished your campaign and now I can speak about it with confidence.
First of all, the additions are really good, both in terms of troops (for the humans) and allies. However, when it comes to enemies, it leaves a bit to be desired. As I’ve mentioned before, you could have expanded the undead army more in each map. But let’s get to the main points.
(The Defense of Strahnbrad)
The increase in troops for Arthas’ army makes the mission very easy (I played the entire campaign on hard) - There’s not much expansion, but there are several changes compared to the original game that make this campaign feel unique (new events with the orcs) - However, there are no extra missions, which would have been an interesting and necessary addition.
-
(Blackrock and Roll)
The mission to kill the dragon was really challenging for me — I wasn’t expecting the enemy expansion in that area, which in my opinion was a great addition. I also liked Uther’s army on the other side of the orc base — However, I didn’t really enjoy the expansion around the boss area (enemy spam and few changes to the orc boss itself). Still, it remains a great mission. (Also, no new side quests.)
-
(Ravages of the Plague)
This mission surprised me - A major change to the map and terrain — even if it’s not entirely faithful to the original Warcraft style — made me happy to see such a significant transformation. It brought much more life to the villages, which in the base game feel quite superficial. An excellent addition.
-
(The Cult of the Damned)
Another mission that really surprised me — I like the idea of undead "spam," as it should be. Also, the bandit army that helps us (something that really should happen) was an excellent idea. Additions like this make the world more detailed and enrich the experience. A great addition to the campaign.
-
(March of the Scourge)
This mission is much more fun than the base version (including the difficulty) - To be honest, I had to try three times to get a good result. As always, you made everything feel more alive, less artificial. A GREAT addition to the original campaign.

Your original mission that comes after March of the Scourge was, for me, very difficult — and also very well done — As always, the map and terrain could be better, but they’re still very good. The map expansion is excellent, and the 'adventure' in search of items was a nice addition. You managed to convey the feeling of a village very well — the base game makes everything feel so artificial, and you brought it to life. The expansion of the Alliance (Arthas & Jaina) was also really cool.
-
But we can’t ignore the
problems... Everything still feels very basic and doesn’t really go deeper into each mission itself - This is mainly due to the lack of new side quests in each part of the campaign, which makes the 'rework' label feel a bit unnecessary. And as already mentioned, the limited expansion of the undead (and orc) armies contributes to that.
-
(Still, this doesn’t take away from your campaign — it just makes it feel shallow in some parts - Do you plan to update this campaign? Maybe do something more, something even more detailed in the future?)
4/5
