campaign story idea

and to go a little more in depth with that idea....

first off the orc would be a hero BladeMaster and would meet up with a group of human bandits in a forest area...... maybe a dwarf or 2 and a couple archers.... together the group would go in search of the Orc's tribe meanwhile an Undead army is building in the southern lands..... after the group finds the Orc tribe the orc would have to fight and win command of it.... also as all of this is goin more and more towns will have been destroyed by the undead..... and at the end your clan of humans and orcs will have a big showdown with the Undead....

heh just an idea feel free to flame or add to it

1. Plot:

Rise of The Scourge

Story:
Nagash the Lich King has for some time been gathering power to summon a little group of undead to do his bidding. Finally you stand ready to make your first move, to use this small force to secure an area of land and start the training of an Undead Legion. (if necessary this story can be expanded easily)

Goal:
Spread through out the land and eliminate any mercenary bands roaming the country.

Mission:
- Reach a population level of at least 60.
- Summon at least 3 Necropolis buildings.
- Slay the Orcish gang known as the “Grudgebringers” (red color).

Presets:
A level 2 Lich (named Nagash if possible), 4 acolytes, 4 ghouls, 1 haunted mine and 1 Necropolis (color of your undead forces should be purple).


This 1. map would serve very well as a platform for a vast Undead campaign. Such a campaign could either take place before or after this scenario, and could use Nagash the Lich King as a main hero.

Basicly this map is just to have some fun killing some troops (humans, night elves, the orc group and a lot of creeps), while learning to play the Undead race.

hmmm that idea wasnt too bad..... but here is another one(human campaign)

Plot-
In the south a tremendous army of the Undead is gathering led by Kortul.. preparing for war. The Arch-Mage Denecian has summoned you to his Keep to discuss it.

=Missions=
+1st map+
- Keep Denecian alive
- Assemble an army
- Ally with the NightElves in the Sacred Forest
- Rid the land of the various orc tribes and gain access to the Bridge of Kortul and enter the south wastelands

+2nd Map+
- Gain control of the southern wastelands
- Find and kill Kortul
- Destroy his army

And for presets-
1st map
Arch-Mage Denecian... about 5 footmen, 2 peons and enough
group of nightelves that will joinh you after speaking w/ them
gold to build a keep/castle (not sure what it's called) A Tauren Chieftain and BladeMaster guarding the Bridge of Kortul with 1 or 2 wolf riders, 2-3 grunts and 2-3 archers helping them

2nd map
same as above only with a few nightelves at the start
various undead tribes spread throughtout the map(say 2 or 3) and one big fortress in the southeast
a Lich named Denecian in the fortress
and maybe a hero in each of the undead camps(like a captain)

This 2 map campaign would serve as more of a challenge for the advanced players and would help them with strategies. also it would help you learn multi-race base building

Well, sounds nice, But a nice little spin that might be good before the 2nd map and omit the destroying of the Orc tribes in map one->

Something about Most of the Army between the Night Elves and Humans being destroyed, and that alliance forging a Blood truce between them and the Orcs, The last remanents of the Living band together to defeat the Undead Scourge.

Then on the 3rd map, you would have the mostly same stuff as 2nd. Then you could build Orc units as well and maybe have the 3 different "tribe" of undead, come together when attacked, as to balance out being able to diversify your army so well. But the main fortress of the Undead led my Kortul would abstain from battle until attacked.

Then we could add a Plot Twist and include Map 4 where even though Kortul was destroyed and his army decimated. He was "resummoned" by the Dark Magiks(He is undead after all :D) and leads a small army of undead warriors on, attempting to rebuild the lost army, and you have to find him and destroy all the Dark Altars across the map where he could be summoned again.

This might suck, I'm Just trying to expand the idea.

hmm i think those would be good add-ons.... I think this would be a great campaign
