I have some imported music and improved the campaign AI scripts, especially for normal difficulty. It's a mod that features and update and new surprises for the official campaign mod.. It modifies the official campaign maps with various changes in each level in all campaigns, the Prologue is also changed a bit, however less then the campaigns. Level cap has been removed per chapter, you can now gain experience at all times no matter what level you are... The maximum level is now 15 for heroes, the experience tables have been greatly changed, it takes a lot longer to gain levels now... Certain levels you will have access to other heroes of that race.. For example in human level 6,7 and 9 you will have access to an arch mage hero in the alter... Makes the campaigns seem not so hero favorite allowing you only to play one hero for the majority of the time... You can now actually use a dread lord in some undead levels... Certain tweaks and additions such as caves, monsters and secrets have been added to the levels and a lot of new surprises and twists you'll notice in the levels, I've also added an 8th level to the night elves which is a showdown between Thrall, Jaina, Furion and Tyrande against Archimonde which gives it a nice climactic final battle... A few new re-occuring villians like Venim Ice Blade the lich whom will be a powerful opponent in human level 7 and 9. As well as the Juggernaut a powerful undead tyrant, the Burning Prince and the Eclipse, a flying airship controlled by Dalaran, plus dozens more, their are a lot of unique foes you'll be facing, some of which are incredibly powerful. Cameo appearances by some of the forgotten "Beyond the Dark Portal" heroes from the Warcraft II expansion will appear. The difficulty levels have been tweaked, normal is now much more difficulty, however hard is pretty much unchanged. hard is still harder then normal, but the massive gap between difficulties has been decreased. Normal now provides a chalanage, but not the aggravation of hard. I've added one on one boss duals for certain events which each have their own music... Kel'Thuzad vs Arthas Guardian vs Muradin Mal'Ganis vs Arthas Arthas vs Uther Arthas vs Antonidas Grom vs Cenarius Carne vs Living Wall Thrall vs Mannoroth Grom vs Mannoroth Illidan vs Tichondrius Heroes vs Archimonde Majev vs Vashj Illidan/Kael/Vashj vs Magtheradon Sylvavus vs Balnazzar Arthas vs Illidan For example after you defeat Kel'Thuzad normally in human level 4, he will teleport himself and arthas to an inclosed area where the camera becomes locked to arthas and he must face Kel'Thuzad alone, all other units become paused as the two lock in battle, whom teleports around the aread and blasts attacks which you can have to manually dodge, and every 10 seconds or so, he will teleport to his throne and use carrion swarm or summons undead. Some of the bosses battles however get much more advanced and intense like Mal'Ganis for example and Antonidas, changing their strategy and attacks the further they fall in hit points... But all of them focus around an action rpg element for most of them involve that type of strategy, running around dodging their spells and attacks and attacking when the opprotunity arises, and if your hero falls in that battle, you are defeated. The boss battles are the highlighted introduction to the campaign mod, but their are a lot of other surprises and changes... As of now, the Prologue, the Human Campaign and the Undead Campaign have been fully tested and will be released to the public, the orc campaign and night elf campaign will be released very soon, I am doing the final tests on them both. Further more, I have done the same adjustments and additions to the Frozen Throne Campaigns, but they will be released on a later date as I want to add a few more additions and must re-test them, but it shouldn't be too much longer. I'll include another read me file for the Frozen Throne Campaigns when they are ready for release in the near future. |

I must say that I'm impressed, too. :D One question though: how large will the campaign files be? Oh, and if the first two campaigns have been fully tested already...when are you going to release them? ;) |

Please release the campaigns you already have done. This sounds very interesting indeed. ![]() |

Campaign files are roughly 10 megs except the prologue. I have tried uploading the ones I've completed, which is the human, undead and orcs, I managed to upload the enhanced Prologue, but that is it, whenever I try to upload any of the other ones. After about 5 minutes it takes me to an error page. I've tried numerous times but the upload wont complete. I've sent the campaign's to Darky several days ago but he has yet to put them up. |

Prologue is nothing to impressive. I have made a couple updates and some new chalanges to over-come. The second level is a bit harder now with some subtle differences you'll see. But it is a good starting block! |

Bah, well Darky never responds when I ask him to upload it, he asked me to send him the files and he would do it manually... Since then I haven't heard back from him... You can manually download it off the ftp here. ftp://darky:[email protected]%20Mod/ |

So from looking at the FTP, I can assume that 4 of the 5 RoC campaigns (counting the Prologue) are finished? |

Yes and Im in the last level of the Night Elves now. |

Error message: "File not Found" when trying to download. |
| 07-17-2004, 10:07 AM | #13 |
Hm, try it again, Pyrus. I didn't have trouble getting the files. |
| 07-17-2004, 06:31 PM | #14 |
I figured out why it didnt work: Opera doesnt supprt ftp. Had to use Internet Explorer. |
| 07-17-2004, 06:43 PM | #15 |
Bah, for those of you who have downloaded the Undead Campaign: Path of the Damned, please do so again... Human error, I forgot to pack the ai scripts for Chapter 6, accidently copied them into the wrong directory some-how so they didn't import along with the others. |
