[Campaign] Ascension of Duran Reimagined

For eons the Protoss homeworld of Aiur had prevailed. This time has ended. The Protoss have ordered all of their forces back to Shakuras, while the Zerg Swarms succumb to infights between the rivaling Cerebrates, leaving the once pristine Aiur a smoldering ruin.

What may seem like nothing but chaos to some is what others see as an opportunity to prove themselves – an opportunity to ascend.

This campaign is a reimagined version of the original AoD by Whiplash. It consists of both remakes of the original missions, as well as some entirely new ones.

Story

Your brood has been slaughtered. The wretched Dark Templar killed your Cerebrate. You cannot hear the Hive Mind anymore; the calming voices of your thousands of brothers and sisters. All you can still hear are the agonized screams of your children. Faint – yet full of pain.

You are filled with rage. You thirst for revenge. But what could possibly still this thirst? Who could still this thirst?

Features

• Campaign launcher
• A large variety of difficulty and help settings
• A storyline taking place during the Brood War
• Highly detailed maps set in a plethora of environments
• HotS-esque mission launch screens
• Additional unit upgrades
• Unlockable achievements

How to play

Download the newest version of the campaign maps and the launcher [v0.6.2]. Unpack the downloaded folder and open the README inside. If you follow the installation instructions there you'll be good to go!

If you'd like to keep up with the development of AoD, take a look at the workplace thread every now and then.

This is my first attempt at creating a custom campaign. If any aspect of storyline or gameplay seems clunky or inappropriate to you, feel free to send a message to Bumm.Knall.Peng@gmail.com; or visit the official feedback thread.
