The War of the Ancients (DEMO)

2006-10-26

-High Elves =/= Highborne, change them to Night Elves
-Before the invasion began I don't even think the Wisps exists, they are Night Elf spirits, yes? I think they got the ability to become a wisp after immortality, and even if they existed before then, they wherent on good terms with the Night Elves.
-Malfurion had no horns, and would've looked younger.
-Malfurion was NOT a leader back then
-No-one knew what a druid was except for a select few
-Sargeras is not an Eredar. He looks more like a PitLord in his only appearance in TFT, though even that wasn't in focus. I would have made him some sort of Burning War golem (since titans war made of metal)
-Infernals didn't just start raining out of the sky,
-There where Night Elf Mages
-The Highborne where on the demon's side, they where summoning them. They where also all in the castle.
-Malfurion didn't have very good skills during the WotA, so he would've been weak

Read the War of the Ancients series by Richard A. Knaak, it has info on the War of the Ancients. Actually... some of that comes from an alternative timeline, so best go to http://www.wowwiki.com (WoWWiki).

Sry but this is far one of the worst campaigns ever. You got to plan out your campaign before you make one. Me my campaign is remaking WC1 so I dont need to plan much but like the people who made LoTR they read the books more than once and then made the movie, so I must say to yo do this: read the book more then once, get all the facts. Like the guy who made Lord of the Clans. Also, Archimonde is supposed to be taller then Tichondrius. And yes there right Malfurion was an apprentice, and the legion is allied witht he highborne and the highborne didnt become high elves until they went to Quel'Thalas.

Im sorry but my rating is .75/5 (triggers were good thats it) and add some music into the dialogues.

sry, but u really made many mistakes,
so dont make campaigns without better knowledge about
the lore they require (in fact the war of ancients needs
a huge amount of knowledge about it)
i just count some mistakes:
-prologue is missing (how krasus,rhonin and brox got to
kalimdor, they are the main characters)
-its not so important, but his name is: MALfurion
-he is no keeper of the grove, he is an aprentice-druid,
who is teached by Cenarius
-moreover the whole story is shit
(malfurion did NEVER go to azsharas temple in the city zin-azshari)-->he thinks, that she doent cares about the nightelfs, in contrast to the fact, that all othe nightelves love her
-no infernals came to kalimdor (not yet),
first many demons come there, and when, a big fight beginns, those infernals get summoned)
-the highborne dont get attacked by the demons (in fact the demons are their allys)
-the highborne look like the nightelves
-the buildings dont look like the human ones
-at the moment the nightelves dont have many respect of malfurion
(also dont even know him, because at the moment he is just a simple nighelf,
who is teached by cenarius)
-he wouldnt go there anyway, because tyrande, illidan and cenarius would stop him
-i agree with EvilArthas 87, sargeras isnt an eredar,
and wears an bronce-armor and where the armor
doesnt cover his body, flames are vissible

@Dark_Paladin: malfurion dont knows anthing about the burning legion, until he frees broxigar and rides away, then he sees a fel-hound, for the first time, after broxigar fought him.
Later rhonin,krasus tell him about the BL

Oh my gosh!

This is the first map in the site that works for me!Salvation!Hmm...now...if only I can get the others to work for me,too.As for the campaign,it's pretty good,but I agree with Evil_Arthas 87,just fix those problems.

Very nice and Hard,here's my suggestions:

1) Fix the camera when Tichondrius walks on the bridge.

2) Don't use Kil'Jaeden,change Sargeras model because he isn't an Eredar.That Big Kil'Jaeden appear in front of Illidan.

3) Tichondrius talks with respect to Archimonde because the Eredar is more powerful than him,even if he was not in charge of the invasion.(As you can see in Blizzard's campaign Tichondrius call Archimonde always "Lord")

4) As OutsiderXE said Archimonde and Tichondrius are afraid of Sargeras power and then they don't want to make him angry.

5) If you add also Kil'Jaeden in the cinematic would be better,because Sargeras gives a very important task to him.

That's my suggestions.

I have only one big and one small problem. Big: It's too difficult. A rune here and there or weaker enemies would have been good. And I consider myself definetly an experienced w3-sp-gamer as I've completed both roc and tft on hard. Every map had a trick to complete but yours' just weren't visible.

The little problem I had was with the way the Dreadlord and Archimonde talked in front of Sargeras. They aren't the kind of stupid henchman that forget to behave themseles infront of their master and start arguing. There is too much respect and fear to let Sargeras become furious. That would be the reason why Sargeras always seems calm and in control of the situation, no matter what.

Sorry Dark_Paladin, this is a solo project. I'm doing this mostly for my own entertainment and I like doing every little bit of the campaign myself. Thanks for your kind offer anyways.

A young scholar named Malfurion Stormrage, who had spent much of his time studying the primitive arts of druidism, began to suspect that a terrible power was corrupting the Highborne and his beloved queen. Though he could not conceive of the evil that was to come, he knew that the night elves' lives would soon be changed forever....

That was copied from the offical Warcraft lore site, Furion didn't have any idea about the Legion nor did any of the Night Elves. Azshara was the first one to come into contact with the demons and was awed by their power -- so she began opening portals with the Highborne to summon the Legion into Azeroth.

I didn't mean Furion owned the land. I mean even the hippies said: "This is our land." but it doesn't mean they owned it. And about the Highborne's skin colour -- my plans are to first make a lite version of the campaign and then another version for people with fast connection speeds which has for example darker toned skins for the Highborne.

Okay....this is what i have to say about this campaign.
1)Furion knew well that the Legion existed and he suspected that the plans of Azshara are evil.He would never say "My beloved queen" about her.
2)Maybe it is less important, but you did a mistake using high elven models for the Highborne (chapter n#2).The Highborne looked like the same as Kaldorei, their apppearance has changed when they were banned from Kalimdor and settled in Azeroth.Then they started sleeping at night and staying awake at day.
3)You should write Night Elves, not Night-Elves, but it is not so important.I liked the cinematic scenes, but you should make the camera show Tichondrius more accurate (i mean the scene when he's passing the bridge).That's all.I hope you'll correct your mistakes in the full version and keep up the effort!

Hey Albino-l I could help you out with your campaign, but you could atleast add a little custom things not every custom thing is too large, like use better tree's or something but it's your choice.

Oh another thing I need to metion this.

In the first mission Furion says somethings not right in his Land......(His LAND!!!!) Furion doesn't own land he cares for it, and if you wish to give the land an Owner make it Cenaruis, or (Queen Azshara thinks thats her name) Since they are the Elves in Command at that time

Oh yeah and Furion wouldn't be suprised and say things like "why are we being attacked?"He was well aware that the Legion existed.
The Night Elves knew of the Legion since they were the one's who brought the Legion into the World.

Think about changing some stuff and consider my offer to help you I'm good at terraining and triggers, and a master-mind with Cinematics and story-lines

Thank you the encouraging comments RestInPieces.

I know, english is my third language and even though I understand everything I read, writing is an whole another thing. Same with the storytelling--I know it ain't that great but I'm trying to show people a big piece of Warcraft storyline. Anyways, good to hear you liked it

Seems interesting, will try it out soon enough.

Edit: It was very good. But in the last scenario, I noticed quite abit of grammar errors. I thought map one's terrain was really nice to look at. Map two was hard but it was fun and challenging and I managed to get through it without cheats. Keep up the good work & can't wait for the full campaign. Overall, I think it will turn out to be a great campaign.

I also agree about not adding fancy stuff such as custom models & skins, I like the way it is with the normal stuff.

Albiino-I

Atleast so far I haven't needed any custom object data and I'm going to stick that way if I can. This will also reduce the filesize of the campaign a lot so users with low connection speeds can also download this with ease.

I agree that you don't need custom models or skins, but no custom object data? That seems kinda weird for any custom map that isn't a melee.

So as you can all propably predict--it's a campaign placed in time 10,000 years before the first war between the humans and orcs in the ancient land of Kalimdor where the unaware night elves are caught offguard by the ravaging forces of the Burning Legion. This is not in anyway connected to the books of Richard A. Knaak so instead I'm using the original storyline of Blizzard with lots of stuff added by myself.

Three maps has been finished already and I'm adding more as I go. There will be a grand total of 10-15 maps including all the interludes, credits and propably a secret map or two. This campaign won't introduce any new models, skins etc. and uses only the normal object data--I hope this project will show the mappers that a good campaign doesn't necissarily need anything custom.

Also take a note that this campaign is extreamly difficult--even the first chapter is really hard and you'll propably have to try about two or three times to compleate it. You could use codes, but it will ruin the idea of most of the maps and it won't be nearly as fun as without cheats.
