[NOTE] This mod is currently unreleased and under development.
Welcome back to Warcraft: Total War! In this 23-minute custom battle, the Scarlet Crusade clashes with the relentless Scourge in a showcase of the brand-new, unreleased "Alpha Roster Edition".
This project is a heavily modified version of the Classic Edition, effectively "demaking" the rosters to bring back the nostalgic, fan-made alpha models from the original 2017 Custom Battle Alpha. While the Classic Edition features a fully playable campaign, this new edition integrates these classic alpha models into the campaign framework for the very first time!
What’s new in this showcase:
🛡️ The Scarlet Crusade:
Alpha Models: The Militia, Priests of the Holy Light, and Human Mages now utilize the classic, fan-made alpha models instead of standard World of Warcraft Classic models.
Armor Upgrade: The Human Footmen have received a brand-new armor upgrade featuring a badass winged helmet, utilizing the captain's model. (The spellcasters and militia models were implemented back in October, but this is their first video debut alongside the recent armor upgrade!).
🧟 The Scourge:
Features the complete demo-roster finalized last October. This includes a mix of modern models alongside older WC3-style Ymirjar Champions, Varguls, Vrykul, Banshees, Acolytes, Undead Trolls, fan-made skeletons, Abominations, and zombies.
Development Update:
While the units are now fully coded and working flawlessly in Custom Battles as of yesterday, the campaign implementation is still a work in progress. This is the first of several Custom Battle showcases recorded recently. Interestingly, most of the modding over the past two weeks focused on other factions (Lordaeron, Stormwind, Theramore) since the Scarlet Crusade and Stromgarde didn't have original alpha models to pull from. As a result, this first video showcases the faction with the fewest changes—saving the massive overhauls for upcoming videos!
