Frequently Asked Questions
Posted by 22/06/2023 inHow do I find the campaigns?
You can find all the launchers for Synergy’s campaigns by searching for “map launcher” in the Campaigns section under Custom. These campaigns cannot be downloaded or played offline.
Non-campaign projects like WarChasers and Deliverance can be found in the Arcade section under Custom instead

Can the maps be played offline?
There’s no offline version available at the moment. The reasons for this are:
* An offline version can’t be kept constantly updated, unlike the Arcade, and I update my maps constantly.
* Sharing any non-WoL campaign would breach copyright.
* I’m not too keen on the idea of opening up my maps for editing on account of the time I’ve invested in them.
Does progress get saved between maps?
* For single-player race-swapped campaigns: there’s no bank system in place to save your progress, but there is a fixed tech progression if you play the campaigns in the numbered order. Bonus objectives give you an immediate in-game reward.
* For coop race-swapped campaigns: player choices are saved and loaded from map to map. This includes difficulty, alliance type, skin and other upgrades.
* For Azeroth Reborn, your hero’s stats and items are saved from mission to mission.
I get kicked from the map after a few seconds.
That’s most likely the license check in effect. You need to own the original campaign in order to play the modified one. I implemented this system to avoid legal trouble with Blizzard.
A lot of text shows up as “Param/Value/”.
This is a bug that happens when you have the game in a language that isn’t English. You can fix it by switching your game language to English.
Will you add Reforged models to Azeroth Reborn?
No. The reasons for this are:
* I dislike Reforged’s inconsistent art style.
* The models need to be converted to be used in SC2, which would be a big commitment.
* The added model files would inflate the mod size to unmanageable levels, considering the Arcade’s upload limit.
Will you remake the Rexxar campaign from The Frozen Throne?
Possibly. If I do, it will be after I’m done with all the other WC3 campaigns.
Will you make a PvP mod for Azeroth Reborn?
No. PvP has never interested me in RTS games, so the AR team will not be making anything like that.
Will you make coop/race-swapped versions of the Azeroth Reborn campaigns?
Most likely not as those are not projects that I’m interested in making at the moment.
Will there be more campaigns?
Yes! I’m currently working on the Orc campaign for Azeroth Reborn, which will be released in December 2023.
How many people work on this?
I do pretty much everything myself, with strong involvement by data expert Photoloss, humble artist Dweebie, model artists Miazmatic and Solstice, UI scholar 321, terrainer Dashhy, triggerist Yevhen, M3 Editor Legend Enoki, loremaster and voice actor Subsourian, and frequent collaboration by various people from the SC2 Mapster community.
