Hive WorkshopChronicles of the Second War: Tides of Darknessfirst four missions are already available for testingSince the release of Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne - I had a dream to recreate Warcraft 2 campaigns using the Warcraft 3 engine capabilities.
I've been creating maps and models, doing long pauses, quitting and remaking stuff for years.
When Warcraft III: Reforged was released it inspired me to finish this campaign.
At that time in early 2020 new teammates that were driven by the same inner fire, contributed to the project significantly - @Shadi, @Moonman, @Bagysta, @Triceron and @Antontama.

Chronicles of the Second War: Tides of Darkness - is the attempt to reforge the Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness Campaign.

This is very complicated and challenging task because of great discrepancies between WC2 and WC3/WOW lore, different game mechanics (Naval) and big amount of chapters to make.

At the Current moment the maps for Tides of Darkness Orc campaign are almost finished and the polishing, voice acting and bugfixing process is in progress.

All the team is working on the project in its free time so we cannot set any deadline.

Since Custom campaign feature is not available yet, the team decided to release first 4 missions of ACT 1 of Tides of Darkness Orc campaign as demo maps.project websitealbums pageGameplay is vastly improved from WC2, now including sidequests, creeps and other mechanics from WC3.
- Warcraft 2 economy (prices and resource gain, no tax rates)
- Naval resource - Oil
- Naval buildings and ships
- Dual tech-trees for buildings (basic and advanced)

Custom Assets and more will feature both WarCraft II aesthetic as well as appearances from World of Warcraft.
- Custom models for most units and buildings
- Snowcaps system for all buildings in winter tileset for deeper immersion
- Dynamic weather and fog
- Bloodsplats during the fights as well as prolonged corpse decay time for more realism
- Voiced over dialogues (some still not final!)

Lore / Story will be heavy drawn from established lore in original games, World of Warcraft, Chronicles and other book series.
While there are some discrepancies when it comes to certain events and characters,
we made sure to deliver a clean, straight and presentable series of events that transpired in the second war.

- In the book Teron'gor was kiled in the assault of Temple of the Dead, and Rakmar Sharpfang survived.
Later Rakmar was sacrificed by Gul'dan in a ritual to create Deathknights.
In the campaign we switched their fates to pop up Teron, since he is more important character for the warcraft 2 plot unfolding.
Rakmar will be shown as deathknight cameo.

- In the official Lore Orgrim personally slayed the warlocks in the temple of the damned and imprisoned Gul'dan.
In the campaign Orgrim was busy with Stormwind siege and ordered Temple of the Damned siege to Blackhand sons that submitted to Orgrim after he killed their father.

- In official lore of the second war the main leader of the missions is Utok Scratcher.
In campaign he will be shown orc semi-hero (i.e. Naisha, Falric..), and in human campaign he will be a hero enemy boss during the siege of Lordaeron.

Characters from the original early games will be featured in our campaign.
- Rend Blackhand (available in demo)
- Maim Blackhand
- Zuljin (available in demo)
- Zuluhed the Whacked
- Cho'gall
- Gul'dan
- Orgrim Doomhammer
- Nekros Skullcrushercheck out the demo and leave some feedback on their forums

评论来自 WolfrickThis is kinda Awesome, stuff Blizzard should have done years ago! :)评论来自 TopazmaceCan't wait for Blizzard to shut this down :(评论来自 MenelvagorWarcraft 2 is what pulled me into the warcraft universe. Many hours in junior high spent in lan battles on the MSN gaming zone. I've been hooked ever since!评论来自 AcelPlease don't shut this one down Blizzard, this is very promising (if anything, support them and offer resources)!

Edit: It looks like I was just too soon with my excitement. This seems to be more of a mode for WC3R, so Blizzard will own it but looks like it will not be one that is in fear of being shut down and might get the support and promotion from Blizzard.评论来自 NymrohdHonestly before the launch of WC3R I was very much looking forward to custom creations like this as well as the possibility to use it for an Age of Empires-style of campaigns in the antiquity of Azeroth and Draenor. Things like the Troll-Aqir wars or the Troll Wars or even the Clans vs Goria in Draenor would all make for amazing campaigns imo. And yes, the obvious thing to do first would be the first two games.评论来自 aleczaleczThis is the kind of project created by love and dedication so you know you will get a top quality product.I realy hope they create warcraft 1 too, this way we can enjoy once again warcraft games from the begining: 1, 2,3,classic then live...what a journey it will be!评论来自 UDtheAesirNice!评论来自 WepstarAs always, Blizzard are 2 slow. They will lose that project just like DOTA评论来自 DugdogAs always, Blizzard are 2 slow.

MoonmanWC3 here, thank you so much for showcasing our project!

Regarding ownership or whatever issues you might be afraid of... worry not, this is entirely Blizzard's lore, most models were made from existing geosets (heavy editing of course), so there is nothing for us to worry about. We are somewhat in contact with a small group of Blizzard devs, who were recently assigned to finish/fix Reforged (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/warcraft-iii-reforged-developer-update-player-profiles.326660/), so custom campaigns will also be released, once they have fixed ranked PvP and clan systems.评论来自 DeathAspecthopefully Blizzard is taking notes评论来自 owenmeredithCan't wait for Blizzard to shut this down :(评论来自 Skillers36better than reforged!评论来自 XingbgCan't wait for Blizzard to shut this down :(评论来自 KarthegraxDarn! I had no idea the Hive Workshop community was still active! It was an awesome website back in the day and got me into custom models/skins/maps. This is such a cool project, top marks to everyone involved!
