Warcraft 3 Re-Reforged: The Scourge of Lordaeron

[Footman16]

I believe he means combined into a .w3n file so it can be played via the custom campaign button

 

[Bitterman]

Ported to 1.32?

1.33, i pressed 2 by mistake.

still it would be interesting to see if its possible to add all maps into w3n now that custom campaign support is back

Mmh report on Hive discord server. It's an Hive issue. I didn't understand you were failing to download while it was very clear. Silly me.

This is a masterpiece. I enjoyed playing that campaign much more than the original one. Are you really going to create an undead campaign?? This would be beyond praise because mapmaking in Warcraft is a reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy hard work. And Path of the Damned includes complicated maps.

 

[Rahko]

This is nothing short of an amazing campaign. Totally recommended! Keep up the work!

 

[Volsungh]

Hey,

I have not played it yet but I was just wondering : will this be playable as a custom campaign anytime soon ?

If I play it with individual maps there won't be any save for heroes skills and items right ?

No, your hero skills and items will still be saved.

The only issue with individual maps is that it's a bit tedious loading each map/interlude every time and if you take a break, you might forget where you are so it's recommended to finish everything in one go.

 

[EdDy22]

Perfection, love it! But for some reason i can't run the interludes like the one before meeting Jaina. I'm playing it in the editor.

 

[Volsungh]

I don't know if I didn't get how it works, but on map 2 I couldn't reach the canyon towards Searinox. Nothing happened when I entered the circle. Played in editor.

You have to have at least 6 Riflemen inside the circle. Best to fill all the slots with Riflemen + Arthas.

 

[Priyam Mitra]

excellent

 

[VendaV]

Awesome job. But I have some problems with game memory and I lost game data between 5th and 6th mission.

 

[zryb]

GOOOOD!!

 

[envasion]

Probably one of the best campaigns i've ever played, i personally think blizz should replace original campaigns with these (i hope someday we'll have a chance to play them all!)

 

[cheesy_cheese]

New breath of air for WarCraft, which all die-hard fans deserved

 

[Yawghomoth]

What reforged should have been from the start. My thanks!

 

[TheQlex]

It is really Insane! Awesome! Thank you so much,100 % same emotion, return to my childhood!

 

[Massiniliano]

Help me, I have put the files on CostumeCampain but every time I try to enter on Warcaft crash.

Ti scrivo in Italiano che mi vian meglio XD. Da quando metto la cartella nel percorso corretto ed rientro in warcraft non vuole farmi più accedere alla campagne personalizzate bloccandomi tutto il gioco.

I afraid it's not custom campaing, it's just set of maps, you should extract and copy them to Documents/Warcraft III/Maps/Download/ReReforged

 

[cheesy_cheese]

by the way, why "The Scourge of Lordaeron" is created as a set of maps when "Exodus of the Horde" as custom campaign?

Write me a DM so we can speak italian and I can better explain you, or join the discord server.

Thank you, i hope you re-reforged all W3 untill last campaign, you re doing so great job, good luck in all your aspect life, again ty for everyone!!

 

[HankHell69]

Superb! Cinematic rework is everything fans asked for an immersive storytelling experience. The playable events in between chapters such as playing Jaina was great since you get a little more lore bits in there and I love lore. The hidden lore items I thought was a great addition. Basically everything about it is great. Looking forward to seeing Arthas taking his undead army to the gates of Silvermoon and see how that whole section of the Undead campaign is reworked. If I had more experience with the WE such as trigger events, cinematics, and other tools I would gladly assist in kind of speeding things up. However, the effort ONE person is putting in to recreate an entire game is something of greatness. Much respect to InsaneMonster.

 

[Modt]

Excellent excellent excellent champaign. Worthy of the Warcraft game. I can't wait to jump into your Path of the damned story. Keep it up.

 

[Bitterman]

Soon(TM)!

hope that and this campaign comes out soon in wc3n

 

[Filas]

You are absolute beast man seriously. Just few weeks ago I was telling to my friend: I wish Blizzard made Reforge campaign true to original story but with some distinctive changes instead of just reusing stuff made 20 years ago. Amazing, amazing work you did with the campaign I enjoyed it so much.

 

[Oceus]

Just finished it. Seems like I will be the less convinced of the people here.

Don't get me wrong, I love the work done about the whole presentation. The cinematics are gorgeous and still makes me wonder why they didn't put any effort in them, the models seems to have a lot more of animations than what I expected. And the WoW music is always welcomed to create some variation. Also the little scenario missions were a nice addition.

It's more about the gameplay of each maps that I'm kind of not sure.

If I understand, the idea is to remake Warcraft in what you imagine Reforged should have been. So there is the idea if it's your first time in Warcraft, it should fit you.

So, about the difficulty, except a specific case, everything was damn easy. But I suppose there is a way to change it? Didn't find any option when launching the map so no idea.

But about the structure of the missions, I have things to say.

The campaign is 9 missions long, and honestly, there is too much no building section. 1, a part of 2, 3, 4, part of the 7, 8, and half of 9 are no build missions. So you have just half of 2, 5, 6, half of 7, and half of 9 to play the humans. My problem here is that you don't have much opportunity to use the full roster and at the same time I just find human heroes outside of blood mage horribly boring to play in those map, especially paladin. I don't understand why you can't nuke some undead units with Arthas, like necromancers, it just turn him into a healing machine and nothing else. I suppose the idea is they are not undead, so for a lore perspective it works, but that's kill one of the reasons you play a paladin during this whole campaign in the original.

While I appreciate 1, I'm not sure about adding two timers in the mission. It is supposed to be the first, the one when you discorver the mechanics of the race so for a beginner, it's not ideal. Kind of boring also when you search the codex entries on the map and try to loot things to be urged to move towards the objective.

2 is fine, even if I found Searinox a bit of long for nothing. If you bring rifleman, there's not much he can do to you and it's just long.

3 isn't much different from the original.

4 I appreciate the idea but it ultimately suffers from the fact that paladin is already boring to play in no build, but also that you can't nuke the numerous necromancers around the map, which reduce your options to play in an agressive way.

5, I'm not sure. Maybe it's because of the difficulty settings but the Scourge is really... weak. I don't even remember if they are using a hero. The idea of having two different areas to defend is cool because the buildings can't be recreated but it really lacks the aspect of the original with the relentless tide of undeads. The side quest don't have much interest in this map, you just go as soon as the map start, clean things, and go back to your base. At least cleaning the area with Uther in the end is appreciate. The defensive kind of missions is not optimal to search codex entry, too.

6 is ok. Also not much different from the original.

7 is boring. First half suffer from the same issues as the other no build sections, and the second half, considering you have to send someone to help to defend, and you have three enemies, to face, and a base to build from the scratch, it's really slow for not much reasons. I would suggest to start with at least a tier 2 town hall to speed up the whole process.

8, I don't like this one. I find the original to be already a boring mission, here it's more or less the same but extended by 10-15 minutes. I don't see the point.

9, the add section on the boss is basically just running around and letting them get killed by the frost attacks. You don't have much time to strike and the pathfinding of Warcraft 3 don't let you avoid efficiently the attacks. Like 5, the Scourge is not really menacing when you defend. And it's sad that you can't really play Arthas with Frostmourne, having your chaos damages and insane autoattack damages with divine shield was a whole part of the fun of the original. But at least defending without a hero is a good change of pace, don't think W3 has any mission where you play units without a hero.

So I've overall appreciated the whole experience, terrain and narrative are exceptionnal, the custom units here and there are cool, the special interlude missions are kind of cool to (but you should unlock the camera), the concept of the missions for most of them are great, but I think there is balance to do here and there to really make it feel good to play.

Everything you have done to enhance the first Human campaign is just utterly commendable and inspired. I adore the changes you've made that continue to add on to what the developers originally put in, especially the Codex system which is a wonderful way for new people to not just learn more about the setting but provide context-sensitive information! I am especially very happy with some of the twists you put on some of the classic missions, particularly in Andorhal, the defense of Hearthglen, the minor but oh-so-important changes to The Culling, the way you portrayed the ending... it's all fantastic work. This is, without hyperbole, the best way to experience the classic Warcraft 3 story.

The only real request I have is that (Spoiler for the Culling):

Spoiler

For someone with a lot more experience with Chapter 6, The Culling, the mission seems almost the easiest of the campaign now, where before it could be challenging but fair (Let's not talk about Reforged Hard Culling. I shiver to remember how much I butt my head against that). Having more enemies walk around with Mal'Ganis sooner, or enemies interspersed amongst the populace could help offset that. I'd also enjoy it if holding Wirt's leg could perhaps just put a marker on the map, or some indication for where Jaina could investigate, I walked around quite a bit before finding it in the Interlude

I really, really hope you continue doing work on this and I am already thinking of supporting you on Patreon for the efforts. You truly, truly, deserve it.

 

[Drakethos]

It's Incredibly sad, that some fans made a better "re-forge" campaign than blizzard. And they had a whole paid "team of professionals". Incredible work, and sadly far more effort than blizzard put into remaking the campaigns. Good job!

 

[BoBr]

Is this still downloads w3x version or is it just me?

 

[khatmar]

Oh damn, just now found the new patch notes. This is an amazing christmas gift! Thank you very much, I am really looking forward to playing this!

 

[Bitterman]

yeah the download is w3x @InsaneMonster not the w3n file
