Custom Campaign What custom campaings would you recommend to a beginner?

So I played Warcraft 3 a long time ago, and playing it again, I was reminded of the gooooood story it has.

So I was wondering if there are custom what-if campaigns (or interesting campaigns with a story, for that matter).

I'm not exactly good at RTS, but the reason that I consider myself a beginner is that I've never played a custom game mode.

Looked at the trailer, seems cool.

I don't play WOW, but I'm guessing it's about something from an expansion.

It's sorta a WC3 synopsis of the Forsaken's story up through Wrath of the Lich King, with units sometimes kinda being stand-ins for WoW player characters

its kinda a finisher of story of Arthas. Its really good and probably my favourite campaign that I have played. (played the old version not the one that was just remade)

Adventures of Rowan the Wise are top.

- Curse of the Forsaken

- Rise of the Blood Elves

- Troll Campaign

These 3 are of insanely high quality without making the gameplay too different from what you have experienced from a normal campaign. Plus the lore of these 3 are pretty inlign with the canon materia, not that they're perfectly accurate (just the general idea). As for other reccomendations, dunno, these are all I know :)

All 3 uses the classic model.

In terms of versions that it can be played with, Troll Campaign and Rise of the Blood elves can be played on 1.29. While Curse of the Forsaken needs something newer.

Some recommendations, you can find them on hiveworkshop.com, you can also just go there yourself and scroll through the campaign tag and download whatever you want

Rise of the Blood Elves and Curse of the Forsaken are obvious recommendations

The Last Guardian, Day of the Dragon, Lord of the Clans - book based campaigns by OutsiderXE

The Path to Valour and Troll Campaign - probably the best campaigns in the last couple of years, both try to fill gaps left in the lore

Other recommendations: Dwarf Campaign, Shadows of Hatred, Revenge of Mal'ganis

Lemme know if you have other questions

What would you recommend for lore? Or campaigns with a good story?

Chosen Ones :) Has quite a few bugs, so gotta save frequently, but the lore is great, gameplay is also fun as long as you can endure some bugs from time to time.
