This is the closest I've ever seen to Maim Blackhand being viewed as a protagonist, yet it's still entirely in character and believable. You know, care about, and apply the lore even better than most people at blizzard.
The nice thing is, due to the fact that Maim was never featured heavily in the lore, that leaves alot of room to interpret his personality. In WoW we never got to see him alongside his brother Rend, as he had already been killed off-screen in a battle with the Dark Iron Dwarves.
@@MrGiselbart I imagine Maim took a large number of Dark Iron Dwarves with him before dying. Anyhow, Rend and Maim were portrayed in the novels as being slimy jerks who cared only about committing genocide and obtaining power plus they lacked Doomhammer's code of honour. They also refused to help Ner'Zhul in his plans which I can understand as they saw him as weak for letting Gul'Dan turn him into a figurehead. While Rend and Maim here STILL enjoy combat and slaughtering their enemies even civilians, they seem to be more respectful of other people in the Horde and are actually skilled warriors both physically and mentally. They also have a bit of an Italian-American twang in their voices but so does Doomhammer which is fine as it makes them sound tough.
If Activision had any brains left, they´d endorse this as a reason to actually buy Reforged. But they´ll never do, because that´d imply them acknowledging that a reduced group of passionate developers and programmers in their free time did a way better job at respecting Warcraft III than a multi-billion company ever could.
@@jatabo1574 That's not a case here. Activision is focus on real money, that's why there are 20 expansions to WoW, Warcrap Rumble and support for Hearthstone. Warcrafts are old past and RTS games are past. There is no such thing as a passion in multi-billion companies. It doesn't matter. If some group of fans will make a free mod for their old game - good, some people will buy it and Bli$$ard will get few dolars. If fans are not doing anything - good too, Bli$$ard will make another milions on WoW. The funny thing is, Reforged license says, anything made in World Editor for Warcraft 3 is owned by Blizzard... so this mod is also Blizzard's now :D
@moh.syafrianabie8899 Yeah, but it will be a headache with the versions. Still, not a bad ideea, I had pirated WC 3 for all of its existence, only bought it like 2 years ago because I played the hell out of the game. 😁
beautifull are not enough words to describe this effort ....the music, the enviorment, the character----the lore....characters only heard on books and some words on npc in wow....im amazed blizzard havent called you yet...someone like the creator of this should be incharge of rerforged
Warcraft 2 was my first strategy game ever, back then on the PS1 and on of my first video games at all. Nothing can beat the feeling i had back then about gaming. So i would love to play that, but i promissed myself to never ever pay money for a blizzard game again. Again moders proof that they are the only people that know how to make a really good Game!
Hey guys. Could you please let us know: is it possible to have asset installer on Mac? Since currently there's only the Windows version. Thank you so much.
Ah, I must say I didn't pay so much attention to my surroundings. Everything was so beautiful that there was barely anything that stood out, if that makes sense. I think there are many hidden items I missed.
Anybody notices that the player's background color looks more like Light Blue than Coal? EDIT: You know what I just realized we should give Maim? How about using the Baron's skull as an item to heal both his health and mana when clicked on?
@@OutsiderXE You are doing a much better job of integrating the two campaigns into a coherent narative than the novelization did. (The BtDP novelization was a lot better, but Tides of Darkness was pretty mediocre, and only made worse by the additions from the Sylvanus novel that made Kael's dad even more of an idiot)
Pulling the human campaign off will be impressive to see. Wc2 while great had some huge lore issues that needed explaining but was still very fun as a kid.
This is absolutely incredible! I can't wait to play. My buildings won't load and my units are all white. I know there are additional downloads I need, but I downloaded the asset manager and can't locate where the launch.exe file is. I just keep watching It on UA-cam till figure it out!
Normally you need to put the csw file and the installer in the main directory of Warcraft 3. I also heard WC3 needs to be in Reforged mode (not classic) before using the installer.
a thing I'm wondering in these days especially after the reforged raid at Hillsbrad, for what exactly Saurfang put in WOW Doomhammer among the good warchiefs like Thrall against the evil ones like Blackhand (and Sylvanas)? I honestly see Dooomhammer far closer to the latter ones, maybe is smarter than Blackhand but not less violent
Unlike Blackhand Doomhammer isn't fighting because he was manipulated by a warlock, unlike Sylvanas Doomhammer isn't fighting to sow death and destruction to feed some random guy in the afterlife. Doomhammer isn't any less violent than Blackhand because Orcish culture is inherently very violent, but he's fighting the Alliance now because he has to. He's ending the war Blackhand and Gul'dan started because he must to secure a future for the Orcs, free from demonic corruption and the lies spread by Gul'dan, because he knows that they will march south to reclaim Stormwind.
Not sure which are which: 1. Northeast on a hill where dragons are 2. Southeast in the swamp 3. Southwest on the human island, south of the Keep All of them are in tombs
You;ve not lost a hero, but I'm not seeing altar buildings (Given the altar has its own plot use in WC2 I'd imagine it would be filling that role) can heroes revive in this?
They revive at the townhall, your off hero dies permanently in missions and comes back next mission. You have to becareful withhim or he will drop items on death.
There will be a human campaign eventually called Rise of the Alliance. The human campaign will start where the orc campaign ends - so its not like in WC2 where they are two separate stories.
@@OutsiderXE Well, even the campaign guide for WC2 intended the Orc Campaign to be canon -except- for the ending (which is why Utok's report on the Battle of Capital City ends on the description of plans, but not of the actual aftermath of the battle).
@@magr1701Well, I thought you meant specifically these grunts. I mean, troll axethrowers from previous missions are much different than the Wyrm Hunters in Chapter 5.
@OutsiderXE Are there Kor'kron Grunts? I think I have seen some that might be in the presentation about Dwarves. A small variation in terms of actual units between some of the clans would be nice. Hope the High Elves have their own race, just like the Dwarves, and we get to fight them in Quel'Thalas and use them as well in a mission or two in the Alliance campaign.
The quality of this custom campaign is outstanding, but the orcs speak like they are educated nobles from the court, not like the barbaric horde they are.
one thing i dont really like about this is that they tryed to bring Warcraft 2 in line with the lore of Warcraft 3 and WoW. To me WC 2 is the source that shoul have led the way! I dont liked some of the changes that WC3 made for example not doing Naval and Oil, or airships and dwarfen copter. And then all that bullshit that WoW added like Pandas for example... or different timelines and all that roeplay that is not all about War.

It would be cool seeing Grubby play this on stream. I'm not sure if he did already, but if not we should suggest it! :)
Great work!
Lok' tar ogar! I miss Warcraft 2 naval battles so much by seeing this. Looking forward to see what human side of campaign will be like...
Awesome! Now I have a reason to buy reforged.
Or you can just pirated it. Spent your money to donate on the modders instead. They deserved it than Blizzard
@moh.syafrianabie8899
Yeah, but it will be a headache with the versions.
Still, not a bad ideea, I had pirated WC 3 for all of its existence, only bought it like 2 years ago because I played the hell out of the game. 😁
This has to be the best made custom Warcraft 3 campaign I have seen so far.
That one footman at the end with his back turned I can't even😂
Cleverly hidden in the video thumbnail ;)

Man the voice work seems to jump in quality a lot as the campaign goes on, well done
Ohhh Tol Barad, we called it LOL BARAD in pvp 🤣

Brilliant interaction between the characters!
At 50:00 I can see that you have -950 oil... Despite the odd issue like this now and then, it looks like a great mod!

FOR THE HORDE!
Amazing job. My mind is blown why blizzard was too incompetent to design this.
Question;
1. Is both the Orc and Human campaign cannon in this continuity?
2. Will you be doing an Alliance campaign as well?
Some mistakes aside, its as close to canon as possible. A human campaign will be released in the future. It will start where the orc campaign ended.
@@OutsiderXE You are doing a much better job of integrating the two campaigns into a coherent narative than the novelization did.

Are Maim's twin swords here the ones that became Rend's "Sacred charge" and "Tribal guardian" after Maim's presumed death before Vanilla?

How do i get warcraft 3 to load the files ? idk what i did wrong with the DL
where is the fps? I think like Sc2 game ctrl ALT + F to see current fps
is there a fourth piece of the dragon statue in another mission or is this it?
In chapter 6 yoz have to fight an enemy in the middle of the map. Only zuluhed can get there
I only found two of the three pieces for the dragon figurine, where did you find the third? Otherwise the last bit in the swamp level doesn't drop :(
Northeast on a hill with dragons.
Southeast in the swamp.
Southwest below the human keep.
Cheers!@@OutsiderXE
And what does it give ? All pieces I mean
Is it possible for me to see this game for sale on Steam?
So this is only a remake of tides of darkness? Will there be a remake of beyond the dark portal campaigns?
Next is an alliance campaign following the events of Tides of Darkness. BtDP campaigns will come after.
i swear to god that your account outsiderxe nickname is so familiar to me but idk where the hell it come from

Not sure which are which:
1. Northeast on a hill where dragons are
2. Southeast in the swamp
3. Southwest on the human island, south of the Keep
All of them are in tombs
@@OutsiderXE Thanks!
i have try dl map but some units got no textures, any idea how can i fix it? this is my first mode to war 3.
see install guide on hivewrorkshop page. you need more files
On this mission i keep getting booted out of the game. happened multiple times in the exact same place. cant progress any further:(
What place?
New video ist still rendering. Supposed to be completed in 100 minutes.
You;ve not lost a hero, but I'm not seeing altar buildings (Given the altar has its own plot use in WC2 I'd imagine it would be filling that role) can heroes revive in this?

will be as well the human side for wc2?Or only the orc horde side who wins?

Im a nood, can someone explain how to run this? I downloaded it but I cant get it to play.
see install guide on hivewrorkshop page. you need Reforged 1.36 and more files
The grunts have different stats or only the model change?
Not sure if they vary by clan, but some are elite variants that you can't train.
@@OutsiderXE So, afther all, there is something than LordPerenoldeII did better. Giving each faction a specific set of units and mechanics.

Blizzard is so out of touch with why people love / loved their games. The fucking fans has to come in and show em how its done.
Is there a human campaign?
Not yet
