Played on 12-03-2025 version, Hard difficulty

(I once played the original by Xetanth87, but I don't remember all the details, so I'll write my notes here about the campaign in general.)
The difficulty is the same as in the vanilla undead campaign.

The first mission - the moment with the sheep was funny. And the player-controlled ent is actually something I have never seen in similar "baseless" missions.
And I have just noticed that even the quest descriptions in this series are changed too to match adaptation.
Also, interesting synergy between Moon Wells and Archers – you can use Arcane Arrows for defense.
In the last mission, due to time pressure, I never figured out how to get into the water to get the attribute tomes. But overall, this mission is fun, although it seemed difficult at first.

I noted a few things that may be oversights:
Ancient Ravager cannot attack air;
Corpse Golem (level 6) and Meat Golem (level 2) have the portrait of a regular golem, unlike Flesh Golem (level 9);
Naturalists are able to root Forsaken Catapults.

I am only responsible for the new Archer arrows and Naturalist of what you mentioned.
Will fix the Golem portraits, Ravager is intended not to hit air(from what I know).
How did you feel about the new unit additions and HD upgrade?

 

[geloMor]

I almost always like an additions, but to say something sensible I need to rewind Xetanth87's campaing walkthough. And I plan to do it soon and will give feedback here when I finish.

Approved as a graphics update to the original.

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.

How did you feel about the new unit additions and HD upgrade?

The Ravager model feels too large - in the first mission, it even overlaps with Mal'Ganis's model.
I really liked the Ember Wyrms.

When I played the campaign, the Druids of the Saber felt a bit too weak, though I see they were buffed in a recent patch. I used to build 2 or 3 of them mainly for dispel, but never really used them as combat units. Prowl seems like a powerful ability, but I didn't have the micro to take full advantage of it - I imagine it could be great for hunting down enemy heroes. Overall, totally agree with patch changes.

Naturalists are a good alternative to Archers, especially considering that, despite being trained in the Ancient of Lore, they benefit from Hunter's Hall upgrades. That said, Archers are a bit tankier thanks to their armor, so in the end I used Naturalists more like Human Sorceresses - support casters rather than frontliners.

I would love to see Sylvanas uncapped in terms of level - it would be really interesting to see what her ultimate looks like.

I don't think there's a model of Void Elf Kael'thas yet, there are also very few decent HD void elf assets
