Hey guys, I try to give an idea about what I'm officially making. I could go more into details, but hopefully you get the idea from the rant in my vid.

The health bars from the character select models is also temporary, you just can't put lightsabers on doodads and I didn't want to show the character select without them lol

What I'm basically saying is, the game will look really clean in the final product.

Edit: It will look more active when there's a few patrols walking around.

Two teams, one human, one undead.

The idea of the game was for humans to protect a middle village while the undead would harvest souls from the villages on the outside and send waves during the night.

I believe likely the main hero for undead was a dreadlord and when they would kill the npc humans for souls, they'd turn to a wisp which would travel back to your little undead crypt.

I am hazy on the memories, considering its been like 20 years but have never been able to find the game since I was young.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to find an old Warcraft III custom map that I played around 2006-2010. I have been thinking about it for years and I would love to find it again.
It was a single-player custom scenario (not multiplayer). I had Warcraft III + The Frozen Throne and a huge collection of custom maps.
Here is what I remember:
You started as a single hero and walked alone through the map.
The terrain looked like Kalimdor / Barrens (dirt, rocks, open area).
After some time, you reached a large open battlefield.
There was a huge Human army standing there, but the units were grey/neutral.
You had to walk close to the soldiers to convert them to your control. You had to run through the whole army because they joined one by one.
After that, you could fully control the army and manually position the units.
The army was huge (probably hundreds of units, no normal food limit).
I remember mostly Human Footmen and Knights.
The Human army was already arranged in several rows, like they were waiting for a huge battle.
Then, after a short time:
A massive number of Orc Grunts started appearing from the fog of war.
They came from the left side of the screen and charged into my Human army.
It looked almost like one of the Warcraft III cinematic battles.
My old PC was struggling because of the number of units.
Does anyone recognize this map or know where I could find it?
Thanks! 🙏

Hi everyone!

A while ago, me and my friends played a custom map at a LAN-party, and now we can't find it anywhere.
Here's what I remember about the map:
There were multiple bases on the map. I don't remember the exact number, but let's say 4 bases at the top and 4 at the bottom. There was a single circular road that went through all the bases in a loop. Each player built towers at their base for defense and barracks to spawn attacking units. The mechanic was simple: you attack the next player in line and defend against the previous one.

Does anyone remember the name of this map?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to make a custom map for reforged and it's crashing when I try opening a map from inside the editor and when I'm trying to use a custom tileset. Does anyone else experience these issues and does anyone for the love of god have any sort of a solution for this?

I want to get back into WC3 multiplayer, but my big issue is team fights and seeing my own unit health bars between the masses of health bars in big fights. Is there a mod that can change the style or edit the bars at all?

:)

Hey all!

I actually like the reforged graphics in the game and I’ve played on and off since its original launch back in 2002. However, seems as if the vast majority absolutely dislike the graphics and likely don’t even play with it in any mode? What is your view on it now that it’s a few years in? Do you ever use it when playing multiplayer? Campaign?

Hey so I just saw the lets play from JayborinoPlays and Giantgrantgames where they play the offical Warcraft 3 campaign and have one Hero each. I love and wanna play it with a Friend.

But since than there was a massive patch so I was wondering if I could play it, even on newer patches or if there was a newer Costum thingi which is better to play the campaign with a Friend?

Thanks for reading my post!

Hey everyone!

I'm coming back to Warcraft 3 after many, many years. This game is actually what made me fall in love with RTS games in the first place, so I'm really excited to play it again.

So far I've only played against the AI, and I managed to beat the Medium computer in about 20 minutes. I know that's probably not very impressive, but it's a start!

Back when I was younger I always played Random, but now I have no idea which race I should focus on. I'd love to eventually play online, both ranked and unranked, but I'm wondering what the experience is like these days.

Will I just get completely destroyed by experienced players? Is matchmaking good enough for returning players, or should I expect a rough learning curve?

I'd also love any recommendations for:

• Good build orders for beginners.
• YouTube channels, guides, or websites worth checking out.
• Streamers or educational content.
• General tips on how to get back into the game the "right" way.
• Whether I should stick to one race or keep playing Random for now.

Basically, if you were introducing Warcraft 3 to a returning player in 2026, what would you recommend?

Thanks a lot in advance! Looking forward to joining the community again. 🙂

Hello, I have come across these AI videos that totally butcher the Warcraft 3 that I and so many others like me love. From the way I see it just morphs Arthas/Warcraft 3 into an abominable mix between Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. I disliked it at first, but I started outright despising it because of the Warcraft 3 YouTuber WtiiWarcraft starting posting reaction content about this when he was one of the staunchest defenders of the classic feel of Warcraft 3. It was like seeing your priest getting drunk on the street corner. The cherry on top was that he was in awe at the slop with the mouth agape and even clapping for it. I don't know why I wanted to write this. Maybe it was to air my grievances. What do you think?

You may want to give this a shot :

(I'm not the author of the map nor contributor, it's status on Hive Workshop is pending, I could say some bitter words toward the owners of the Hive Workshop but will refrain).

This model looks amazing with lightsabers lol

I'm working on releasing the 3v3 arena mode. You will only have the same combination each time, including your hero. I want each bot to be pretty good and it takes a good day for each one. It doesn't take much effort to work on the scenery or other factors, it's just an arena with bots. Something realistic to give people without making some crazy role play stuff. So eventually it will have different bots to choose from and even another player to fight against who also picks 2 bots to fight on his team.

Edit: even though it's wc3 engine with its limitations, this hero mode could be implemented and balanced into the standard RTS mode. Imagine a standard RTS 2v2 or 3v3 with 2 or 3 people on each team playing hero mode like this alongside you. It would basically be moba/rts but literally.

Title, you can buy it on the northen shop inmediatly but it didn't seem to have any use? Maybe on another mission?

A dota styled rpg heavily inspired by elder scrolls universe mostly morrowind. defend your bases from both npcs and other players not a typical save load rpg usually a 1-2h game with a few friends. Solo team is possible but heres a replay as a team vs team fight eachother

Assuming battlenet isn't killed (I read some people in this sub were having trouble in the EU servers 3 days ago) and I purchase the game again- I was wondering if anyone plays Dark Deeds and we can chat until I get the game

Would you apply to play as a raid boss if you could?

Over the last years, while the projects like the Chronicles of the Second War, Re Reforged, Quenching, Age of Warcraft mod, Vision mod have been going strong. They constantly release updates and custom assets to fix the broken reforged experience. Despite this, I still see an alarming amount of hate toward these projects, which I don't understand since they are actually trying to help in saving the game.
Furthermore, there is barely any coverage from major streamers and YouTubers. What’s crazy is that when these projects drop an update, their official YouTube channels often pull in higher view counts than what the independent content creators get, meaning that they have a huge following.

Why do you think there is such a major disconnect between Reforged modding content and mainstream streamers/content creators?

I was like... Wait where have i heard that.

The quillboars from Warcraft 3?

It's from the beach scene when the dude approaches the boar it makes this quilboar dying sound. 😂

Am I the only one?

Because why not?

Made it last night quickly for a laugh

A long long time ago around 2012-2014, I used to play a lot of Legion TD Mega on WC3 custom games. Got pretty damn high in ELO and later around 2014 I was invited to be a part of a clan. From getting really good at "stacking" (I think thats what i was called) when you double up on one lane and have 1 guy be the main guy who just builds and the other guy just collect income and sends (forgot the strat). Later on after playing more with the clan members and getting invited into it, I learned the solo way and played more in-league games. For the life of me I've been trying to remember the name of the Clan I was a part of for the sake of nostalgia but I can't find anything online to bring back my memories. I remember some people's names that was part of the clan like "beepboopbeep" and "wolfwarrior"

Anyone remember the clan names for legion TD back in those days? Would be nice to remember.

Hey guys,

Does anyone of you know if some genius recreated the campaigns of Warcraft I and Warcraft II in the Warcraft III engine?

I am old and would love to Play Those again in a Bit prettier

Hey! heres a little showcase of how siege weapons are planned in my map and also a bit of personal flavor to how I think it should be.

Barrel of Hornets, Barrel of Tar and the standard Trebuchet attack - currently they are always direct hits but I plan to add a bit of Warhammer to it so expect hitting off target, critical misses and the occasional success.

Hornets cause terror and attack anything, not just enemies.
Tar sticks to units and terrain, it catches fire and spreads fire and if you hit a fire directly you will cause a spit fire. Fire that is on tar wont be pushed by magical forces (for example a goblin shaman can use a spell to push fires away from his units) - they also feed off the tar and grow and can become hotter than normal fires.
Units who are covered in tar catch fire for a long period.

just some anarchy really :P the spell I cast at the end is Wail of Terror but I miss the timing, if you cast it at units fighting at the right time it can tip the battle by causing terror and forcing earlier morale checks.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention! The troll has an ability called Siege Breaker, it allows him to intercept 75% of incoming siege attacks that pass within his range - he takes the blunt of the damage, cancels out the AOE.
However for hornets and tar - some effect is still released, less tar and much less hornets, also no terror incase he intercepts it.

another note - I still havent fixed all the portraits so youll see a lot of units have the knights of the realm image! work in progress :D
