Quagmire
Year 2488. After three years of fighting across the sector, the Guild Wars are winding down and the Kel-Morian Combine is losing ground on every front. All signs point to an inevitable victory for the Confederacy.
Out of nowhere, Confederate outposts and key facilities on the strategically important colony of Sonyan are hit by a series of well-coordinated raids and bombings. These attacks are carried out by mercenaries believed to be contracted by the Kel-Morians. Confederate forces are placed on high alert and troops are diverted to Sonyan from neighboring colonies. Tensions are rising on some of the Confederate-occupied fringe worlds while Confederate intelligence is scrambling to get a read on the situation...
What is this?

I guess it goes without saying that I'll be tuning in. I'm definitely excited and slightly terrified at the same time.

Um excuse me. If you are going to do it, then do it right. It goes like this this:
Anyways, is this lore based, like real events that happened during the guild wars? Or is this just mostly fan made stuff? Either way, I will probably end up playing it myself, but just curious is all.

Ah, my bad - my statement was more of a "hell, about time to get some sleep" sort of expression rather than it being "hell, it's about time" time. Sorry for the confusion there.
The story is its own thing - it's lore based in the sense that it's set in this officially established context that is the Guild Wars and it's trying to not directly contradict anything that's canon, but none of the events or characters exist outside this campaign - except for Jack Larimer who is a pretty minor character in Heaven's Devils. There may be some references to established characters and events. One or two official characters make a brief appearance. Some of the units and locations are based on official lore.
I do like to think Starcraft lore nerds might get something out of this.

I love "flavour" campaigns which try to not contradict main lore/plot events.
The cases when "you cannot prove it didn't happen!". :)

Yeah I had a whole collection these types of campaigns in Warcraft 3, I would play through all of that plus the official campaigns in chronological order. It was the best.

Wow wow wow, if you remember it, could you please share the list of these campaigns names?
I have quite a few downloaded that I haven't tried yet, but I don't know which ones are "lore-flavour" ones and which are lore-breaking or completely unrelated.

I lied when said I had a collection of these... of course I still have them. Haven't touched them in years, though, so I can't guarantee that these don't contradict the story in some way:
Obviously, OutsiderXE's Lord of the Clans and Day of the Dragon based on the novels are a must-have. My personal favorites, though, I recall being Luthien's Fall of the Lion and The Last Druid, also very much involved in the Warcraft universe. Med. Mapguy's Joe's Quest series I recall being top quality campaigns, but the story is probably less lore friendly and more on the goofy side. The last one of the Joe series (I think), Mordork's Quest, was a particularly awesome experience, though. Other ones I've got: Cryptrobbers by Diskordjah, The Coming of the Horde by Deicide, both excellent campaigns. Finally I have to mention Cult of the Damned by Zurg, which is something else - a full on cinematic series, creepily dark and depressing.

Posted Jan 19, 2019Wow, I've always dreamed about playing a campaign set in Guild Wars times.
Looks great so far.... I hope this campaign will be finished and get the attention it deserves.

Hey, appreciate the sentiment.
Just in case anyone's curious, while I've had to put this on hold for the time being, this project is not dead and I do very much intend to finish it. A fairly large amount of work has gone into this since the latest available version, and while there's work to be done I can say it's in the final stages of development.

Posted Jul 2, 2018Finally took the time to play M5 and m6.
m5 was the most fun i've had though the campaign. Flow felt reasonable, and the hero added an extra layer of micromanagement.
Not fond of the rhino tanks in m6. Had to lure them across the map to friendly forces.
Not fond of the max energy reduction as well. Ex: if there's a group of 2 bunkers i want to evasion-sabotage, the wait time between the first combo and the second combo increases for each max energy lost. The punishment for using abilities is.... to have the mission take longer, which will likely require more abilities.

Finally took the time to reply! Thanks for the feedback. Still working on this.
I'm glad you say that, personally I feel like Waltz might need something more to him gameplay-wise. I think I'd like him and his SCV crew to be a little more relevant. Other than that, I agree that the flow of the map seems about right, so it probably won't see drastic changes.
I like that there are those moments where it's a good idea to run, but if you have to pull enemies halfway across the map, that's not good.
I think I know which Rhinos you're talking about, I think I've always just sort of juked them a bit and tried to take them one by one. It's a little tricky, the safest way is probably what you did.
