It's been over 6 years, but now...

It was originally always meant to be enjoyed by us here at The Administorum, and this is the first place I'm making the release public. So go dig out your Warcraft III CDs - I hope you have fun with it!

Very VERY cool. Congrats, man! My WC3 disk is missing, so I'll either borrow Fei's or find some other way to obtain the game. Can't wait to play through this!

(Also, nice picture.)

did you ever add the CD key to your battle.net profile clutch? if so you can redownload the game client

Kitharsis · « **Reply #3 on:** August 24, 2011, 09:16:04 AM »

That is awesome!

I indeed shall dig out my old Warcraft III cd's and check it out.

Once again, your dedication to this project is incredible, Soul Reaver.

Epicness to the 11th degree. I am so going to run through them all now.

Never registered the key, and now I don't have it.

I agree. It's not my work though, it was made and donated to me by a concept artist called Stephen Cousins. An awesome guy, and (it goes without saying) a highly talented artist. I'm hoping TTBE will give him some exposure and maybe land him some commissions.

Oh gods!! It's here!!! It's really here!!!!

Now 2012 can come without me having regrets!

I'm curious: What's the setting for the art piece? If there is one?

Soul Reaver · « **Reply #9 on:** August 27, 2011, 01:23:47 AM »

Though I guess isn't not really 100% accurate, the closest thing to the setting is Dhar (the Dharuk homeworld) from Chapter VI. After all, that's where all the companions are together, and fighting the Dharuk armies side by side.

Incidentally, I've got a youtube video of the Prologue up. But if you're going to play it anyway, there's no real reason to watch a low-res youtube version of the intro - you'll be able to get a high-res one in-game yourself.

But for anyone that's interested, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUHePZCExwY

It was because of TTBE that i found this place. I've played it since about chapter six came out. Truly one of the few wc3 campaigns where the pace doesnt drop and the maps are actually challenging to a frustrating degree at some points. Chapter seven was the best so far though the fight maelstorm vs soul reaver was way too easy or maybe i got too lucky with crits. I still need to sit down and play the last one or just replay them from the get got.

Shadow Chorus · « **Reply #11 on:** August 28, 2011, 09:59:36 AM »

Yeah, TTBE brought me here after I exercised by Tenacity to get into contact with Soul Reaver and join up with the Administorum.

Soul Reaver · « **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2011, 08:08:29 PM »

So, anyone here on the boards played it yet? I'm hoping it's been worth the long wait...

Veldanya Venalla · « **Reply #13 on:** August 28, 2011, 10:58:41 PM »

yep i beat it yesterday...pretty awesome i gotta say.

Shadow Chorus · « **Reply #14 on:** August 31, 2011, 09:54:35 PM »

I unfortunately had to wipe my computer a few days ago

gonna take me a while to get everything reinstalled, and then I'm gonna play that stuff through to the end. Sera's level was the furthest I got before I had to wipe.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Did you pull all the way through without changing the difficulty/using cheats, or did you finally succumb to the lure of the dark side?

Aw, that sucks. I hope you backed up your saved games, it would be annoying to have to play through everything again from the beginning.

Let me know what you think once you've finished it!

Veldanya Venalla · « **Reply #16 on:** September 01, 2011, 11:55:57 PM »

well i did like the first two levels w/o any cheats (i do think i dropped it down to easy though) but then i turned on the cheats, mainly also cause i already did all the levels up to the final one and i just wanted to see how it all ends (plus it was quite late at night hehe).

...and things just got cooler: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/bitter-end-202289/

Looks like To the Bitter End has been accepted as a "Director's Cut" map on Hive Workshop. To put this into perspective: there are over 4000 maps on Hive Workshop. There are only 12 that have been accepted as Director's Cut maps (and one of those is mine).

I'm really thrilled about this.

That is amazing to the power of awesome, multiplied by epic.

Enjoy that mathematical achievement of epicosity.

God I watch too much tobuscus.

Thats awesome Soul! Congratulations!

I for one am honored that one of my creations are included in your now famous maps.
