I've started creating a campaign about demons. If you have any interesting ideas regarding the plot, as well as the maps, quests, scripts, etc., I would be grateful if you shared them. :)
In general, I have a grand plan to create several campaigns for the Tribes of the East, connected to each other (ideally for each race, but that's just a dream for now:D), but for now, let's think about the first campaign. So, the events take place after the events of the Haven campaign (it is known that in Heroes 6, they take place before the events of Heroes 5, so what will happen after the destruction of Biara depends only on us:))
Therefore, if you want to create a campaign with an interesting plot but are not very familiar with the editor, write!
If you are good at using the editor, or even scripts:eek: - write too!
In general, if you have any useful information on this topic, write!

It depends on the salary :)
Of course, this is a joke. I won't commit to doing any particular part of the campaign (scripts, cutscenes, plot, etc.) completely, but I can help with all of it in small ways.
P.S. Is there even a plot? At least in its early stages?

I have one idea: forget about the demons, and instead make a campaign for the Orcs:smile12: (oh, how I love this race, especially Hagesh:smile54:). Since I'm just a gamer and not very imaginative, I can only help with testing (I have some experience);).

Regarding the Orc campaign, I'll try to make it, but later. And testers would really be helpful:
By the way, Skull, based on your description, I thought you were a fan of Inferno ;)

Regarding the salary, it depends on how well our campaign sells;). Just kidding.
And regarding the plot:
Since the expansions didn't give us the opportunity to play as Inferno, and the whole game was limited to a single campaign for Agrail, the white and fluffy "demon":o, I suggest adding some variety and playing as a real villain:smile08:.
The main character of the campaign will be the ambitious demon Vel'iar, whose goal is not to plunge the world into chaos, but to enslave all the peoples of Ashan and overthrow the Overlord. In this way, he will set himself against both the demons and the "good" races, but he will also find allies.
I already have a map ready for the first mission, but I would like to know how the expansion pack ended, so that I can connect it to the campaign's plot. What happened to Kha-Beleth after the death of Biara, and who did the Dark Messiah become? I'll say right away that I haven't played anything other than the developers' campaigns, including the scenarios.
Thank you all in advance

well, if you look at it from a realist's perspective, it's interesting to see how long this enthusiasm will last.

Actually, here's what I came up with: After the main demon forces were defeated, the remnants of their troops began to actively scatter. Vel'iar, one of the demons remaining in Ashan, was in Irollan. He gathers the remnants of the demonic army and leaves Irollan. He flees south, hoping to take refuge in the demon-worshipping city of Al-Sahra, but the city is attacked by a punitive detachment of the Haven. To be continued.

Let Vel'iar be a machinist like Daleb, and let his allies be orcs (since they are related anyway), for whom at least 1 mission should be made:smile01:

I agree:)

Well, the orcs are fighting the demons, so it should be tricky, for example, an exiled orcish clan joins Vel'iar.

I also like the orc storyline :)
Spectral, how is the process going, or are you playing through the expansion to find out how it ends?

I'm currently working on the videos for the first mission. It will be ready soon. Will you be able to test it?

Good idea. I'll try to implement it, although with some changes ;) As for the demon engineer, I don't know if I can change his specialization.

Actually, this is a continuation.
Vel'iar repelled the attack of Haven and decided to head east, through the lands of the undead. But there, the undead attack him, and in large numbers (3 Necropolis castles + their heroes start with an increased army). This is where the orcs appear, who help him defeat the undead.

The idea of creating a Campaign is generally good, but there are a few drawbacks. Firstly, I am more than sure that the plot of Heroes 5 will have a continuation from the developers (perhaps in the add-ons for the sixth game, or perhaps in the following installments of the Heroes series). It's too promising a theme to simply abandon. If you are planning Campaigns in the future that do not touch upon the main plot at all (like I am), then the project will be more promising. I myself am not very good at creating Campaigns, but I can help with minor things. However, I cannot start a full-scale project (I want to finish my own project). By the way, my project has three Campaigns (two of them intersect in plot), and I would not refuse help. As for scripting questions, you can ask them in the appropriate thread; I think Ment and Ser9K will help you. I can also look for some pieces in other maps. Perhaps something from the scripts for the first mission of my Campaign will be useful to you. In any case, good luck! P.S.: To discuss the features of Campaigns (if anyone is interested in these two projects), I suggest creating a separate thread so that it is more broad-based. P.P.S.: One of the three Campaigns I planned is for the Tower faction. Although right now I am also working on a Campaign for a different faction. Oh, and one more thing: unfortunately, I don't know how to create large maps, so I am currently stuck on the second mission (I don't know what to fill it with). I hope you will be satisfied with "Small" maps. This is just a lyrical digression. But the offer, as well as the request for help, is still valid!

But this shouldn't stop us from creating campaigns. We will have an alternate history:)

Yeah, that's not a problem. If needed, I'll help ;)

The campaign is nearing its end: Vel'iar and Khorgiat (the name of the Orc hero) set off east, to where several clans of Orcs who worship demons reside. But along the way, they encounter "good" Orcs who attack them, an Order detachment catches up to them, and troops are sent from Shio to eliminate the threat posed by Vel'iar. (Here is a large map, 2x1x1).

Thanks to everyone, but I'll say right away that the campaign creation process might take some time, as I haven't had much free time lately. I've almost finished the first mission; it's quite simple, but I'll try to make something more interesting later.
