Yay! I took a break from SEN and found the motivation to make a new campaign! After making episodes 1 - 4 back in 2005, I always thought it would be fun to make a campaign about the early exploits of the hero character, Doodan. However, no idea came to me that gave me the motivation to actually sit down and make it until last month. Finally, an idea struck and I'm quite proud of the results. Please let me know what you think!!!

Storyline / Introduction
While episodes 1 - 4 deal with the end of Doodan's career as a Protoss leader, episode 0 deals with the beginning of his distinguished career. Here's the basic story: The Protoss are experiencing a vespene gas shortage. Their initial attempts to find resources on other planets and peacefully negotiate deals with the Protoss living on government-protected land prove futile. It's right about then that our hero Doodan has been making a name for himself as a leader on the battlefield, and so he is sent to secure vespene from protected land on Aiur as well as find out what happened to the expedition that went hunting for gas on other worlds. In the process, Doodan's loyalty, as well as the loyalty of those around him, will be put to the test.
-Features
This campaign is 10 missions long. I stayed away from the RPG-style elements from The Saga of Doodan and stuck to a bit more traditional campaign model. However, even the more straight-forward missions have at least a little bit of a twist to them. You'll always command at least 1 hero and you'll often have allied computers on your side.
-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
Like I said, it's a pretty straight-forward campaign. However, I feel like I spiced up the traditional-style missions sufficiently and I hope that the story will keep the interest of the player. Since making a prologue episode forced me to alter a couple of minor plot details in the main storyline, I will post updated versions of episodes 1 - 4 at a later date.
Details
-Characters
•Doodan: He's one of three rising stars fresh out of the Protoss Royal Guard and the war for resources will prove to be a test of his military skill and morality.
•Mais: The elder commander of the Protoss Royal Guard. He is fiercely loyal to his superiors and his most promising pupils.
•King Cobb: Ruler of the Protoss. He too is a fresh face on the scene, as he has recently succeeded the throne after his father's sudden death. His arrogance has gradually weathered his reputation amongst his people.
•Cornelius: He is Doodan's oldest friend from the Royal Guard. While he respects and admires Doodan, he also envies his abilities and has trouble coping with his friend and others stealing his spotlight.
•Crizzle: He is the third prodigy from the Royal Guard. He was something of a rival for Doodan and Cornelius as they were coming up, although the three share a tenuous friendship in the present. He has trouble respecting authority.
•Phannon: He is the longest-serving and most respected Protoss general in recent history. He was the first one called upon to find a solution to the vespene gas shortage.
