Additional Story Series - this is a pack of story maps that complement the original story through the narration of a literary plot or ideas taken from star wiki.
Each map shows a separate story related to the original plot, but they are not related to each other, so a series of maps cannot be called a campaign.

Note:
1) Move the map to the folder "Maps" to play.
2) The maps work in 1.16 and Remastered.

Versions:
1. Russian version created by me (C@HeK)
2. English version - translated by IlyaSnopchenko
3. French version - translated by Zergy

New campaign! woohoo

I find it strange that you gave credit to ilyasnopchenko and mentioned his pending campaign "when one domain falls" but you didn't mention "Vagrants" despite vagrants being one of the best custom campaigns ever made.

I'll play this soon... looks really cool and personally, I really like gaiden style campaigns like this that focus on what happens on the sidelines of the big battles of the main starcraft campaign.

Edit:

CaHeK.

East is this way ->

West is this way <-

You have them the wrong way around in mission 1. Please fix this, it's so confusing!

edit 2:

In mission 2 it seems you really want the zerg to destroy the bases in a certain order. Destroying them in a different order causes the dialogue to make no sense with the situation on the ground. You should probably just have the "enemy base" be all the factories and keep the triggers simple.

edit 3:

The map layout for mission 3 looks like it was made while drinking vodka. The pathing problems I have had to deal with because of this made me almost ragequit.

Greetings.


Ilya helped me and tested all the maps before release, so I wrote about him. I don't know "Vagrants" campaign and don't know the author. Why should I write about a person if he did not participate?


Perhaps, I will change it, we will see.
Tbh, I don't see a problem in text.

Example: if you'll destroy the base in south, protoss will say it.
I can change south to southeast and north to northwest, it's no problem.
<04> PROTOSS WARRIOR
<04> These creatures destroyed our southern
<04> outpost! Brothers, we must not fail
<04> Tassadar, we will destroy them!

Soon I'll fix the 1th map.


Actually, no. You can destroy the base first or kill Fenix. Victory will be when the enemy has no factories and no hero. I'll change this map too, but after first map.


All the maps created by Blizzard. I not created nothing, only idea (text, triggers). You can find this maps in your folder (I wrote how the players can do this).
These stories are based on the original story and this means that the maps must be original, so I used the original maps from the game's folder (except for the 2 map).

UPDATES:

Map 01
General:
- translated all locations & triggers into English (if someone wants to know what is there)
- changed Protoss text messages: south to southeast and north to northwest

1) Blue Protoss
- changed AI script "Protoss Campaign Medium" to "Protoss 7 - Shrine Protoss"
- deleted locations with destroying the Zerg and increased the size of location "Protoss enemy main" (+added destroying the Zerg there)
- added tier 2-3 buildings for AI script (Fleet Beacon, Arbiter Tribunal, etc.)

2) Brown Terran
- changed AI script "Terran Campaign Easy" to "Terran 5 - Terran Main Town"
- deleted hero units (Raynor marine, Gui Montag) near bunkers (they are were there) and added marines & firebats to bunkers
- added Factory, Starport, deleted 1 Barrack

3) Red Zerg
- changed AI script "Zerg Campaign Medium" to "Protoss 4 - Zerg Town"
- rebuild the base & units
- deleted hero units

See you soon, good game

Alright I finished the campaign now

Mission 4 was probably the worst one out of all 5 in terms of gameplay because of pathing problems. I think the gameplay would have been a lot of fun on a map with wider passages but because of how narrow the passages are on this map the gameplay became an exercise in frustration. In fact, the only way to win this is to wait until you have enough resources to build 10 siege tanks and then carefully use those to whittle down the enemy base with the help of the wraiths for anti air and the ally AI.

Mission 5 was great fun, very much like an Andrea Rosa map. No complaints here besides the English which is poorer in this map than in any of the other 5 maps.

With this campaign completed I've QA'd it. It has gotten a score of 70% and a recommendation. Congrats You did well and I hope you'll continue to improve it further. For reference purposes, a score of 70% means that this campaign is as good as War of the tribes by Gabriel Sorrel and Kevin Cooper's story by DamnUFo0.

That's the point. You help your ally, but you can destroy the enemies yourself.
At first I made 2 Barracks, but later I delete 1 Barrack and created 1 Factory for mech units.
Moreover, you can try to use hero units: Goliaths & Wraiths, your workers can repair them.
If I rebuild player's base to 2 Barracks, I think the player will use hero units and Rosa Morales + will build bunkers.


Poorer English - What do you mean? Is there less text than in other maps?


I played both campaign and I don't like WoTT, but like Kevin Cooper's Story.
Moreover, I with the author made interview, check the video if you want.



Sure, I will. And I will make more maps in the future.

I know, but it doesn't work well with maps that have narrow passages. It's like the goliath and dragoon in this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90K_G4hyxCk

The wraiths are pretty much essential as tanks can't hit air units but Using goaliaths effectively or any of the infantry units is impossible because of the aforementioned pathing issues.

Grammar mistakes. Someone needs to proofread the dialogue. You can give me a text file to proofread if you like.

Lol, Carbot makes fun of the game.
I will think about it.


I will think about it [x2]. For now, I'm busy other project, but I will not ignore you.


Text in 5 map 50% created by me and 50% from "Queen of Blades". Send me mistake and I'll say you - I was wrong or Aaron Rosenberg. (if he, i won't fix anything, because I quoted the book)
Moreover, I'm translating into English through synonyms, if I don't know the meaning. The main language of the project is Russian, my native language. I may not know something, but I try to correct errors as much as possible.
So, send me please the text.

UPDATES:

Map 02
General:
- translated all locations & triggers into English (if someone wants to know what is there)

1) Blue Protoss (Fenix's base):
- added buildings for the AI script work well (Protoss Campaign Medium): 1 Stargate, Robotics Facility, etc.
- added a small outpost
- added a pylons & cannons to the small Protoss groups
- changed resources 10k ore & gas to 20k ore & gas

2) Blue Protoss (another Protoss force)
- changed AI script "Protoss Campaign Easy" to "Zerg 2 - Protoss Town"
- changed resources 10k ore & gas to 20k ore & gas

Also, I tried change the normal size of map to the non-normal. The game (1.16) crashed after that, I returned the normal size (96x96). Who knowh why the game crashed because of non normal size? I have not tried to check it on the Remastered.

Good game!

That's definitely a good idea. I tried to check your triggers more than once, but it was a very difficult operation because of the garbled characters in the comments. If at least it was cyrillic I could have tried to read it, but the cyrillic alphabet is displayed with random ASCII symbols on western computers.

Yeah, this is a problem for players and me.
I think the problem is not with the computer, but with the editor. I have a SCMDraft 2, and there Cyrillic is not displayed, only Latin.
I need maximum concentration to make the correct translation for both versions (1.16 & Remastered), because Russian =\= English, we need to make separate versions. Editors don't display them well.
So I decided to translate all locations & triggers into English, this is not a problem.

DK's playthrough

UPDATES:

Map 04
General:
- increased the size of high platform everywhere

Player:
- deleted Terran Factory
- added Terran Barracks

The main idea is helping your ally UED forces, the main work is not your, so I changed the buildings.
+ if you'll use tanks, you will not want to buy nothing anymore. But now your gameplay will change.

Good game!

I'm not able to download the latest update, chrome says there is a virus in there and deletes the download....

The thing is, you aren't using firegraft so there should be no such false alarm. Therefore, your files may actually have been infected with a virus.

I think you need to do a virus scan on your computer right now.

There's nothing except for SCM and .doc (Word) files in the RAR archive as far as I can tell. I think it's just Chrome being xenophobic again, both Chrome and Windows can blacklist files only for being Russian / with Russian locale if you live outside of Russia

The problem with that argument is that the original download was from the same website and gave me no warning. It's only the latest version that has triggered Chrome.

Have you tried downloading it?

I downloaded it without issues and checked the contents myself. The files are clean.

tried again now, this time no warning. Really weird....

I think Google Chrome may behave as a virus sometimes.

UPDATE:

Map 04
- changed the questions at the beginning of the mission

Also, special thanks to DK for the video!
