Campaign Info Title: Rising of the New Agent (a VERY tentative title) My Characters:
Kheldrun (Hydralisk Hero) - New Agent of the Swarm, birthed by the Overmind
Rhalnos (Protoss Zealot Hero)
Blizzard Characters:
The Overmind
Jim Raynor (?)
Kerrigan
Zeratul
Basic Plot: The setting begins on Aiur, a month after the Overmind landed there. He is creating a new agent of the Swarm. Why, especially when he created Kerrigan already? We do not know the answer yet. Regardless, he says he has a new purpose in mind ever since he landed on Aiur, and wants this new agent (a creation embodied in a Hydralisk) to be the one to carry out the Overmind's purpose. It is the reason for this Hydralisk's creation.
Yet, the Overmind is destroyed before young Kheldrun was told his purpose, and now, he is left to himself.
You can see this info and more on my blog, linked in my sig. Rising of the New Agent Blog (also contains current updates and current download for the maps).
Anyway, I was told to come here by Sixen to see if I could get more testers for my maps.
Things I'm concerned about at the moment:
Mission 04's Difficulty - I'm not sure if Mission 04 is too hard or too easy for the current build. I usually cheated through it to test it and I'm really sick of the level because of all the testing. :P Anyway, I need people to test it (after testing Missions 01-03) to see how difficult it is.
Dialogue - How does the dialogue hold up in my campaign?
You can either post here or give comments in my blog. I don't care either way. :) This will be an epic campaign.
Edit: Also, I'm running on info of 2-3 testers, including myself. >_<;
Kay, the reason I brought an SC1 camp here is that Sixen suggested I come here since I was into mapping. So, I... I hate being pushy, but it would be nice to get some testers. The more feedback I get, the faster this campaign will finish, and the faster I'll be able to start on my SC2 sequel of it.
I can do that, I think so far the whole campaign is awesome and almost all around balanced. The only thing is that Kheldrun is a little too weak. Maybe make him do more damage? ;) Other than that I think it's perfect, excellent job.
Also, I think that Mission 4 is a little too hard. Just scale it down by a fraction. Second, I think Excer is a good name, but just not strong enough for a Protoss that you're protraying. Lastly, dialogue is fine for the most part, except some parts it seems a tad bit boring. But other than that great!
Also, I raised Kheldrun's damage to 40. I'm wondering if that's too high now. LoL.
Okay, I note that about Mission 04. Some people (read: 1) said it was hard at first, but then trying rushing Kheldrun with Hydras to tank to the capture locations worked easier. So, yeah, though I do think it is a little challenging for that stage in the campaign.
Just extract them into a folder in your maps directory. You can unzip zip files, correct? Extract them, load up Brood War, and go to Single Player. Go to custom game, and then find the folder you put my maps in and play started at "Kheldrun01.scm"
Can anyone else give feedback? I'm stuck with my Kheldrun SC2 Test Map because I've done all I can basically, and now, I need people to help me.
But, in any case, because of it, I want to move on with my SC1 Campaign here, and I'd love to see some more feedback on Mission 04. I want to know how to rework the enemy bases so that the map isn't so hard as compared to the others. I also want suggestions on names for Excer, etc. I know it's SC1, but hey, you get Lurkers. :P
I updated Missions 01-04 recently. I having a lot of trouble designing Mission 05, though. So, it might be awhile. However, enjoy the new changes! Please give me specific feedback on difficulty, dialogue, and anything else you think needs fixing/balancing!

A project has been made for this now. I dunno if this thread has a purpose anymore, but... I'd love to hear some feedback!
(I hope a double post isn't bad around here).

Please, be generous.

What parts of the dialogue were boring?
Also, I raised Kheldrun's damage to 40. I'm wondering if that's too high now. LoL.

Normally the only parts that were boring were just throughout there were some pre-game dialogue that could have been spiced up a little.
Okay, thanks so much for the feedback. I need more testers like you. You're my new friend. :)
Yay!! :)
I would love to test this but I can't figure out how to run it I am being a noob I guess lol if you can let me know I will give some feedback.

Please post your feedback here!
Excer has been renamed... to Rhalnos! I thought that would be a stronger name for a forceful Zealot like him. What do you think?
I updated Missions 01-04 recently. I having a lot of trouble designing Mission 05, though. So, it might be awhile. However, enjoy the new changes! Please give me specific feedback on difficulty, dialogue, and anything else you think needs fixing/balancing!
Mission 05 has been released! http://www.sc2mapster.com/maps/rising-new-agent/forum/4418-mission-05-completed-sorta/
So will there be a Mission 6 or will you start the SC2 sequel?
Uh... no to the SC2 Sequel. I'm not close to done yet. There will be a mission 06.
Annndd... I'm working on it, now.
@AegisRunestone: Go
Good work. Keep it up!
Good news! I'm almost done with Mission 06! :D
