Campiagn Idea - Pls read throughand point out my inaccuracies

Okay this campaign idea is basically something I just thought up... this is the equivilant of writing it down so i dont forget it really.

Notice that there are three main dreadlords, one for each element. Tichondruis gets killed by Illidan (fire), one (can't remember name) gets killed in the attack on hyatt, or last ne mission for those who can't figure out wheres where (frost) and that leaves one more (cnt emember name again, hes gonna be called Dreadie in the pot until i can be bothered to look at that cutscene where the dreadies convene, thats got thier names on) (thunder)

Now, as you've guessed, the campaign (or set of campaigns propably) is based around this dreadie.

Since archimondes death, the dreadie has been free of the control of his master, but still has the burning passion to destroy the night elves, humans and orcs that hurt them so dearly. He has lost control over the undead, which has all reverted back to the lich king again, and he realises he cannot fufil his desires without the help an ally. The demons he controls just aren't enough.

The first mission involves rallying up the remaining demons and at the end the dreadie teams up with illidan, who suffers to control his demonic taint.

The second is where he realises how he can gain an advantage against the mortal races. (Blizz doesn't elborate on how the dreadies wer created, so heres my story about them) the dreadlords were created by the legion from one of the few worlds that repelled them, Aran'dor, world of the vampires. The second mission involves the demon forces and illidan protecting the dreadie whilst he summons a portal that will take them through the twisting nether to Aran'dor.

There are a couple of missions now where he gains the trust if the vampires and thier greed for the blood of the living makes them come with him to help destroy the mortals. The rest of the campaign involves the purging of the mortals from kalimdor.

Three other campaigns involve the struggle of the mortals against the new "Demon" race, with the last campaign (humans) finally over coming them

The last sampaign will only be 2 or 3 missions long, an undead one. Its like a too be continued, with the lich king being the mortals next great struggle.

Comments and inaccuracies I've made towards the warcraft world (i.e does blizz tell you about the creation of the dreadies?)

sounds interesting, but just a warning, it is very likely with any campaign taking place after the end of warcraft 3, when the expansion pack comes out, your story will become obsolete due to the fact that it contradicts blizzard's.

I know... but blizz aint gonna release it for a long while. Besides, I can think of a couple of SC campaigns that still lived on as "What ifs"

All the Blizzards campaign says about where dreadlords come from is that short animation where they all walk in a burning-hot-hot-place in line thru some demongate.

stupid peple didn't read the manual they give the whole friggin history of how the dreads came to be, the legion , YADDA YADDA YADDA some people really gotta read thier manuals. NE ways this is what i remember without having to go find my manaul. They were on a planet that Sargeras had to how shall i put it "clean up" because they were EEEEEVIL k he put them in prison (they had a different name then forget what it was) Then sargeras becomes evil and frees them and the other ones he had put in prison (what archimonde is i'm so baad with names) THEN they turn into the legion destroy everything good and wholesome make it all evil u konw the shpiel so stop making up stuff make suure that something is already COVERED. geez gotta explain stuff blizzard already did. Maybe the name was the nathreziem, i dunno i could be wrong or it could be the otehr but u guys pull out your manuals since mine is....somewhere....just make sure consult the maual AND the game AND cinematics you lazy people. AND I'M running for the most lazy person on the face of the planet looks like i lost....

As it seems that you and me have different boxes. Mine had only this pitiful excuse for a manual. A few sheets just telling what every unit does. nothing more. No history, no story, no nothing...

I find it hard to believe blizzard would make a version of the game with a different, inferior manual, where exactly did you get this?

My manual is made by blizzard, has the after math of every race; techtree; what every unit does, and after the maps STUPID is the history of the burning legion; maybe you should have read all the history to make sure that ur not infringin on blizzard numero uno and numero 2 to understand why the heck all the stuff is happening in the game geez people blizzard wouldn't leave something like that out of the game manual they dont want u having concieded conceptions minor note my manual looked like about a hundred pages maybe.....maybe not but it was waaay thiker than a few pages did u buy a WAREZ version of this great game????no affence or anything but u seem to have misplaced a manual much like to warcraft 1 and even THAT had history in it just not as much as the great warcraft 3 manual

Okay, not sure if you've got the collectors edition or something, but my British manual is a cruddy little thing which tells you how to play and what the units are - no history, no maps no nothing. Please dont say "Read the manual first" cause its different obliviously. Ive read it cover to cover in an attempt to find anything. Ours is barely 40 pages

And btw my lack of a cd for ages (lost it) stopped me from viewing the cinematics. These forums aint fer flaming mate. Constructive critisism.
