I had another thread that closed because I was waiting for an answer and so was everyone else. result: no answers came and the thread was closed...

Here is the 10 level campaign originally called Horde in Northrend:

Set between the end of beyond the dark portal and the arrival of Arthas in Northrend it is a campaign about the orcs regaining all their allies and recruiting troops from the peacful orc villages in the wild. They go to Northrend because the chance of being found by humans is low and the fact that other orcs know this means that they will have headed here too.

The orcs make their way through Northrend acomplishing these goals untill they find a BM who has taken a demonicly possessed voodoo mask from the natives to protect them. he thinks it his own thought but really the mask is telling him to destroy it (and the demon, it never says anything about the destruction of the mask would actually FREE the demon). The BM stays with the horde but breaks off when they wish to go no further. He kills one of the Hordes captains, a Farseer because noth of them think the other corrupt basicly the dead one is right. when the mask is destroyed the plot is revealed and the demon takes the BM as its new host! After destroying the undead general who had failed his mission (he also was trying to destroy the mask and actually almost does).

the demon then goes off to the tomb of sargeras hoping to raise it from the ocean and free the demons withing...

Only myself and VAs are working on the campaign at the moment as no modlers wanted to help, basicly the campaign no longer needs modles...

-At least one clan of orcs was able to stay within the realm of Lordaeron and remain hidden from the humans.
-The Orcs go to Kalimdor in WC3 and not Northrend. I don't know why they'd go there. Northrend is too cold and full of the undead for them to bother in my opinion.
-Most of the Horde's allies (Goblins, ogres) never re-joined them.
-The Tomb of Sargeras is empty.
-'Horde in Northrend'? Very basic title.

The storyline does sound good, but dosen't fit the warcraft storyline, I mean no offense at all but maybe you should base it upon your own world like i'm doing with legacy:D

Well, many have pointed out several flaws, Though i do not know much of the warcraft storyline, Reading from Magic and others posts it seems there are many flaws, I personally would like to here of a new world, With a unique story, rather than hearing of warcrafts, Still, it remains your decison, And with the right things it could be a great campaign, regardless of storyline flaws.

I already had warbringer87 beating up my story ( This is why I know not to listen to magic) and now that it works with the war3 storyline I have to do the opposite?

your story line does not work PERIOD.
the only remaining orcs were the warsong (and the frostwolfs of thralls father) and they never went to northrend there is no reason 2 1 clan was hiding the other was waging a crappy undergroud war movement against the humans.
also everything the magic said.

your storyline would be like this

history belives that only one orcish clan survived the second war but history is wrong there was really another clan and they got all there old allies back and they were stupid so they went to northrend and not only that thrall really didn't reinvent shamanism becuase there are farseers in this story and i was to lazy to make my own new units. also if anything seems weird it was done by a powerful wizard that just happens to look like medivh but hes not.

Wilbo, just base it in your own world. Working with the WC3 storyline is good, but it eliminates msot ideas because they don't work wih the already established Storyline. Make your own world. You seem to have enough determination to make the campaign, and seem to have some good ideas. BUt if you put them in your own world, with its own history, it would be so much better, because then all the details are up to you. Thee is no inconsistency popping up here and there. It is your desicion, I just hope you make the one you think is right.

ok, i didnt hear a thing SC Virus said but I am taking into account your idea warbringer though it would be annoying after all this to have people saying i was copying the war3 storyline when i said it was my own world but because i don't have many ties with warcraft it should be easy to break away.

1 problem:

what would the orcs purpose be, Northrend or not the are still trudging around in an undead infested snowy wastland (wait a sec this is somthing i cannot change without completly scrapping my idea and well anything that is, what i said before [undead, snow] would seem a direct copy of northrend...

well this idea doesn't work period

you copied it from warcraft while neglecting many of the warcraft elements. IT DOESN'T WORK.

if you said it was outside of warcraft
your storyline would be like this

I completly took this stroy from warcraft, but then i realized that i made a buch of mistakes that made it different from wc3 and pre-wc3 storyline so now im claiming its its own worldl, this owrld is exactly the same as warcraft except the storyline, and if anything is weeird a wizard did it.

and if you could HEAR my post here it is again:
