1. Project Description
The Dawn of Chaos is:
- A total conversion for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
- Two campaigns: Human ("The Lion Roars") and Orc ("The Scouring of Azeroth") of 16 missions and five cinematic maps each
- Multiplayer maps playable on Battle.net with players who have also installed The Dawn of Chaos

2. Project Features
The Dawn of Chaos does not look like Warcraft III. All elements in The Dawn of Chaos have been either: reskinned; remodeled; created entirely by our team; created entirely by the modding community. Nothing completely from Warcraft III is in The Dawn of Chaos.
The Dawn of Chaos is a total modification. This means:
- The road and wall systems from Warcraft: Orcs and Humans have been recreated
- All of the units and buildings from Warcraft: Orcs and Humans have been recreated
- All of the missions from the two campaigns in Warcraft: Orcs and Humans have been recreated with an updated storyline and updated gameplay, and several new missions (four in each campaign) have been added
- The Dawn of Chaos features its own music and voice acting for all units and dialogue
- The user interfaces, fonts, loading screens, tooltips and text strings, menus, icons, selection markers, and other system-related features have been replaced
- The Dawn of Chaos has its own unique art style that makes the player feel like they're experiencing the original Warcraft experience for the very first time

3. A Few People
Please feel free to start asking questions here, we'll answer them as quickly and as helpfully as we can. Get to know the three people who will be answering the most:
John Drake is the founder of Realm Design and one of the project leaders; he and I came up with the project, and he's the jack-of-all-trades who has his fingers in all parts of the mod.
The Skullpitter is me. I'm the other project leader, and my biggest job is to write DoC's story, dialogue, and all other textual elements.
Xaran Alamas is the other executive of Realm Design, whose project Forsaken Destiny can be found at his new forum website, Rampaging Polygons although things are just getting into gear over there.

Alright! Let's hear from you. And while you think about what you're gonna say, check out a few screenshots.

Does this mean you're getting close to release?

I just can,t wait for this.

We're getting ready to release something. Not like, within the week, but sooner and sooner as we get stuff done. The reason DoC has taken so long is that we're really not willing to call something finished as long as elements don't look perfect to us. That's why so many units and buildings have gone through, and continue to go through, so many iterations.

Great to hear that somethings coming. I can't wait, I just can't wait :)

That first screenshot induced nostalgia.

We aim to please.

So this rehosted? Great make this project finish as fast as possible

More like multi-hosted for maximum exposure.

Hey man! Glad to see you're still hangin' 'round these parts too

Looking good. Hope to see something soon.

Finally real orcs back in town!!!

My sincerest best wishes.

Our Orcs may have once been shamanistic, but they were shamanistic because it gave them POWER. And our Orcs would only make alliances with people if they thought it would help them kill EVERYONE ELSE at a later date.
Our Orcs are assholes.
Welcome to DoC.

Great to see you back into wc3campaigns people !!!

I am awaiting this more than any starcraft silly conversion !!! Thanx a lot for coming back :D

Let me retierate. Finally real orcs back in town!!!

I know they are assholes and they must stay assholes(not in the Thrall and his gay orcs kind of way).

Nice, 5 rep points from me to all of you :).
