"In case of failure, we will be forced to suspend our work on the mod until the official release of Warcraft IV."
WC IV ??? Heh this mean you are bailing out. Let me tell you how I see it. You got the skills to make something great out of this project, but your marketing is lacking. You are spreading to thin in different areas of the project. IMHO you don't need a campaign this early in the dev stage. Only because some noobs are screaming ''do a campaign'' in your FB page it does not mean that this is the right path to go. People who prefer campaign before competitive playing, are the ones who play your game few days may be weeks and move on. Don't replay on them, if you do that you will procrastinate the development cycle, and most likely you will fail.
Concentrate on the competitive side of the game. Make 4 races and 10 good maps, invite known WC3 solo players and make 1-2 show tournaments. This way, your project will gain visibility. Most of the players will share the event on their social media profiles and will stream on twitch. This will bring you huge traffic. If you do that you will have a complete product, more people will be willing to donate.
Fix things like pathing of the unites, work on better models in order to improve the user experience while players are microing their units, clear some obvious bugs and I bet that till the end of 2016 you will have pretty tight community of early adopters. After that you can build campaigns and what ever you want, the funding will come for sure as well.
I shared one of your official videos in some hardcore wc3 community, you know what people said? ''Yeah we know about that project, it's live since 2 years and it only have 2 races...'' Think about it for a second what would be the reason for this players not to play your mod if there was 4 races and 5-8 of the most popular maps? Remember campaigns are played for a few days, competitive games are played every day for years!
One more tip build your official web site with blog, art gallery, little forum, and donation page. People will take you more seriously, no doubt about that.
Good luck.
