It&#8217;s not keyed to any particular project, I just thought it would very well convey the feeling of an old-school RPG. If you think you have an even better use for it, drop me a line.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Warcraft II Campaign<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ancient-architects.com\/files\/Dalaran.zip\">Seven challenging single-player maps with an accompanying story.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been around long enough to remember the golden days of Ultima and Might &amp; Magic, you&#8217;re also bound to have played Warcraft II. I made dozens of maps when the game came out, but was somewhat frustrated by the editor&#8217;s very few AI options, which severely limited the ability to make strategically interesting maps.<\/p>\n<p>When the old WarCraft games earned a GoG re-release, I toyed around with the editor again and discovered that there were actually independent tools available to edit the AI! So I set out and created one more WarCraft II campaign that would offer the strategical depth I always wanted. It&#8217;s not WarCraft III, of course, but goes beyond The Dark Portal.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s even a storyline that follows the wizard Khadgar and its investigation of the legacy of the Dalaran magi. It fits directly between WarCraft II and WarCraft III.<\/p>\n<p>Both storyline and installation procedure are included in English and German.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoy this blast from the past!
