On Sunday, May 27, I completed the Scourge Campaign. That was the final campaign in the main Frozen Throne story arc. Over the course of the campaign, I got to control Arthas, Silvanis, Varimathras, Anub'arak, and Garithos. All of the major players were featured in one way or another. The finale, Chapter 8. was of course the most difficult mission of all. The enemy attacks were relentless and demanded a lot of micro-managing of troops. All in all, I think that I enjoyed The Frozen Throne as much as Reign of Chaos. Reign of Chaos was a bit longer and had the more impressive cinematics. However, The Frozen Throne dispensed with any trivial tutorial missions. They were both great experiences.

There is a Bonus Campaign included with the expansion pack. It is a standalone Orc campaign entitled To Tame a Land. I played Act One straight through on Sunday. It was more of an RPG-style campaign focused on the heroes much more so than the supporting troops. It was a bit long and repetitive but a nice change of pace nevertheless.
