Personally, I would give RCX a big 8. The campaigns had some flaws and I see loads of room for improvement. Even with those flaws, I see it's the best Warcraft 3 custom campaign I ever played. I personally believe that it's very underrated and it deserves a lot more than that.

If RCX improves his campaigns even more like

1. Make the impossible missions possible.
2. Draw the icons for all of the characters because some don't fit well with the rest.
3. Redraw some artwork. Most of them were alright but it's probably their faces that are not drawn very well. An example is Yue Fang and Kanna.
4. Fix the spellsĀ  tool tips.
5. Remake some models. Some of them are not very well made. An example is the Kasumi model. I think it's quite funny because the artwork is actually good but not the model.

Rework on those 5 things RCX, and I will be the best campaign ever created for Warcraft 3. As you can deduce from the things I said, most of them concerns the graphics and a little of the gameplay because the story was the most perfect one I've seen for a custom campaign.

Yue Fang? He didn't even draw Yue Fang. How could you say it is not drawn well? And Kanna? Kanna looks more humanistic than other portraits hand dawn. Compare that to Mizuki or Johan, which look better? Kanna actually looks human, she has perspective, the two others highly lack perspective.

You're probably confusing the portrait I lifted from Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the real art.

Incidentally, I used that character portrait because that's the portrait she was using in her original form-- as a custom character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Compared to Vision of the Future, Wanderers seems a lot wanting.

9 out of 10 for me - It is a great campaign - I haven't played any other warcraft 3 campaign that is so well thought and has a range of missons! I did get abit stuck on the mission with the mirrors where it would crash if you loaded a saved game - but besides that I find it quite hard to fault - I'm about halfway through book 5 and real like the epic fights like the one in book 5 misson seven United we Stand.

I like forward to seeing Book 6!

9/10 An amazing campaign, everything was well thought out, storyline, characters(why does kurami have no eyes just block spots)? just about everything was good including many of the philosophical things (don't quote me on that). It was great to see unique character's who aren't cliched and repeated personality wise. How Hikaru in bookl 5 became so much more than in books 1 and 2 was great. Abolisher was a nice touch, how the black moon can be undead and not be entirely evil is a strange thought (be interesting to see the Black Moon and the Scourge face off against each other). I like how in the campaign your never sure what way is the right way. Sometimes the goodway seemed evil and sometimes the evil way seemed good (like Queen Arcadia's side was definately evil). Everything was in shades of grey, not solid white and black. The only thing that didn't do it for me was some of the levels were so hard like the metal arcadia fight (of course this had to do with the fact that I had like 10 heroes to manage at once but...) and the fight against gunther and scalder (those holy spirits are cheap!) Many levels were increasingly harder and for someone who is a noob in many regards this made the campaign nearly undoable. Another thing I didn't get if you had the resources to create so many skins and lift so much music how come you coudn't do voicing? That would have made this campaign a 15/10.
Still for the entire time from book 1 to book 5 I admit I was totally obssesed for the time it took to complete the campaign. :)

Because I didn't feel like tapping the same people over the course of 3+ years.

I def say a 10. It is really why WC 3 is still installed on my comp. Blizzards campaigns get tiresome after playing them 57(yes i counted) times. I can't wait to see how the story reaches it's end iI know its gonna be great ;D

I'd have to say 10/10, no other campaign comes close to being as good as this one, not even the original blizzard campaigns

I think this is the best campaign I've ever played! I gave it a 9/10 because it's impossible to be perfect, but this is surely close!

I give it a 7

The only reason is cause while the story was extremely well done, there are MULTIPLE VERY ANNOYING BUGS. In the SUMMONER DUELS IN BOOK 3 if one of your monsters and her final monster both die soon enough u cant win the level. IN BOOK 4 THE SHARED UNIT CONTROL AI IS SO SCREWED UP. For example when you control the sorceria vanguard any units you build will attempt too return too where they were built from and just stand there. Fix these bugs and you have a 10.
