Wrath of Arius
GENERAL
Hi, Wrath Of Arius is my first campaign I started here on Sc2mapster. I took some time off because I worked on my second campaign Starcraft: Pandora. Now I plan to continue this campaign. So what is Wrath Of Arius. It is a actually a tribute to Warcraft 3, therefore the dialogues, mission objective and story are almost identical, I modify some to fit my own story and make it work better in the Starrcraft universe. So all cred to Blizzard.
So why do this? I have learned so much when trying to replicate the warcraft 3 missions. I have become much more adept in the trigger editor and also some terraining etc. I said at the start I was going to make three maybe four parts of this campaign. I don´t know how much of this I really can accomplish, it is tedious work to replicate terrain, missions, cinematic but it is also fun. I have completed the Terran part and have some maps in the next episode. After each episode I plan to take a break and see if it is still fun, if it is I continue and of course people have to want to play them, that is after all one of the best thing about this, that someone actually plays the maps.
WRATH OF ARIUS - The Black Hand
The first of Three, possible four Campaigns. The first focus on the Terran faction, The Black Hand. It consists of 9 maps. All the maps are available for download.
Misison 1 - The defense of the crossroads
Mission 2 - Grim Reaper
Mission 3 - Ravegers of the brood
Mission 4 - The Swarm Reborn
MIssion 5 - March of the Swarm
MIssion 6 - The Culling
MIssion 7 - Braxis
Mission 8 - Dissension
MIssion 9 - The Artifact
Update: Fixed spelling mistakes. Gave Jon a healing ability.

As far as I understand, the campaign is not ready?
In reply to vlad302002:
I'm pretty sure it's more like the campaign has been abandoned until further notice.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I haven´t played his version yet. Perhaps when Replicant is done and I have fixed some bugs in Pandora I will reconcider going back to WOA.
Just wanted to point out - your doppleganger Undead campaign doesn't seem to be going anywhere as the author hasn't been around for 4 months. It's a shame the concept was put out there, which understandably bummed you out, and then was just abandoned! Anyway, just wanted to make you aware since I know that was a major stopping block for you.
@Hultmanable: Go
That saddens me to hear. Didn't get a notification for some reason when you had posted -_- annoying emails, so just seen your post. I was looking forward to see what you did in the later missions espically when it came to night elves and everything.
I did see that other campaign thing.. but one major difference between yours and his. Is that yours was working to be the Full campaign, while his only a single, and frankly I probably would of played yours over the other for various reasons (one major is that when trying to play the other one.. the sc2 editor wants to spend 500 hours trying to download some thing for some reason)

Hi there
The mapmaking for Wrath of Arius is sadly not going well. I lost some motivation when almost the same project was released. Thou it is some difference much is the same from what I understand, so I do not know if I will continue WOA. Hmm I thin the Zerg misions should work without flaw.. =D
@Hultmanable: Go
How's the map making going? lol, I have yet to try the zerg missions, besides the first one which I believe still needs/needed updated to fix errors to my knowledge, at lest my version is still broken. Do plan to do the 3 zerg that's been out for a while, just got to get the time.
I have an idea! Why not do a collaboration.
Thou it has come to my attention that some other author has now created the whole "path of the damn" campaign similar to what I have been trying to do. I will have to think about to continue my path of the brood.

Hi! Thanks for playing and happy that you enjoyed it! Yeah I have had some problem with localization.. and I messed with it so much that I in the end don´t know if I can set it right haha, But glad you could fix it.
Hi! Thanks for some hours of real gaming pleasure. And now a bug-report: Mission 8 - Dissension has a problem with the localizations. I've started the SC2-editor and removed the mark in map->locale->Mofiy locales->English<enUS> and left only English(GB)<enGB> checked. So I got rid of those "param/value" messages instead of useful text. Keep up your great work.
Updated the black hand missions. Nerfed Razuj and gave Mordin more Hp
@Hultmanable: Go
Well from what I seen you had Zero instead of Zerg and had an apostrophe in the middle of a word instead of right after it. So it wasn't a trying that broke it. Mission 6, Rasju or how ever spell his name, I think is slightly to strong, he two shots a Goliath and can nearly destroy your base himself which after he spawns he literally rushes into your base and instantly attacks you, maybe make his shields bit weaker or slightly lower his dmg a bit, so he can't kill all of your units besides jon before you force him away. Barely managed to stop him, after he respawned he went back to destroying the buildings to get civilians but he froze in place after a bit which made it easy win all of a sudden. You should also state in the objective how many you have to kill to win.
Mordin the fire bat needs a bit more health or armor because he dies super quick sense he gets targeted thanks to charging in first sense his only close range unit, and his charge ability is bit glitched if he hits an enemy structure he becomes stuck against it and unable to do anything. Lost mission 7 multiple times because of him, might as well not even use him. Mission 8's merc compounds are a bit buggy causing it to change ownership even with units next to it. Will play mission 9 and the zerg missions in few hours watching some movies with family.
I have now uploaded the third mission in the path of the brood. It´s the last one I had almost done before LoTv, so the next one will take some time, as usual, feedback is appreciated.
@olcharlieboi: Go
Hi Yeah, it´s a problem for me, when English isn't my primary langue.. Hmm, that is strange regarding the bonus mission.. Everything seems fine in the triggers... Have to test this further.. ok, I will look into the difficulty. Thanks for leaving feedback!
@Hultmanable: Go Just got past mission 5 in the new updated version and most things seem good. Mission 3 has a few Grammer errors still but very minor. Mission 5 feels like the mission difficulty increases alot all of a sudden which isnt good for some people, the north base entrance rarely gets attacked until near the end the left got hit the worse by alot of aberrations. I couldn't push out any to do the bonus objective but when the infestors left it triggered like I had killed them and gave me the Goliaths and check marked the objective instead of just leaving it red and with an x.
Should finish rest of the campaign by end of today or early tomorrow depending if any distractions happen.

haha, no I wish. I actually had some maps finished in Wrath of Arius part II when I started the Pandora. So "all" I have to do is make them LoTv ready =). And I am waiting for the last pandora map to be tested so I have some time for WOA now. But on Friday Xcom 2 come out so, progress will be a little slower this coming weekend =)
Wow u are really fast. Your last pandora maps came relatively quick yet they didnt diminish quality wise. Whats your secret? You got a company working for u??
Mission 2 in path of the brood is out, please leave any feedback you want!
@Hultmanable: Go
Great, and perfect timing sense tomorrow is start of the new month and I can actual download the update lol hughesnet sucks alot. hearing about that healing ability is dang amazing something that was needed. Will download the new version as soon as I can tomorrow and go through it again and give any feedback I may have.
