[Single Player Campaign Map Replacement] Warcraft III RoC Undead 8 Controllable Archimonde w/ Voice.
21 366
Warning: As of summer 2019, a Warcraft 3 patch broke War3Mod.mpq, which is necessary for the map to function properly as a campaign map replacement. Blizzard will hopefully fix this eventually.
The gameplay is vanilla for the first 30 minutes, like normal. After that, instead of the mission ending when Archimonde spawns, he becomes a controllable unit and the player destroys the Wizard bases to complete the mission. A simple, fun alteration to the classic campaign experience. Replaces the original map, but can be undone at any time. The AI properly transitions away from its endless suicide attack after Archimonde spawns. I also made a Unit Sound set for Archimonde based on his original Warcraft III lines. This map is a 'light touch' approach, endeavoring to keep the original feel of the mission as much as possible with no unnecessary changes. In my humble opinion what Blizzard should have done originally and a long time coming.
Link to download the map:
Newest version:
Version featured in video (backup link)
Link to my Archimonde Unit Sound set:
My sound set can also be used by other map makers for other mods and maps, but I would like credit.
Install instructions:
Rename the file to ' Undead08.w3m '. Then create the following new folder in your main Warcraft III directory: "War3Mod.mpq\Maps\Campaign" Put the map in Campaign. Can be undone by renaming the map to anything else.
Works post 1.30.
I might make another version of this after Warcraft: Remastered comes out.
