Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne

[ElectricEel]

Playing through the single player campaign, I've felt Warcraft 3 is the better game - Starcraft had a more interesting plot and characters in my opinion, as opposed to Warcraft 3's so-very-generic fantasy stuff, but I felt it got bogged down towards the end between a tedious slog through huge scenarios that took forever to complete. Starcraft also had more micromanagement, which I disliked. I only have the original game currently, but will probably end up getting the Frozen Throne expansion soon, as the game has delivered pretty decent entertainment for my money.

Half the micro-management is due to bad coding which they then stated "It is not a bug, it's a feature!".

It is like those films where James Bond is running in front of a firing squad with machine guns and they aim at his feet. That would be micromanagement in real life.

The only reason I still got the game is for Lanning with friends for some dota

New version sucks. Booo.

Havent played it though.

Isnt anyone going to play that awesome map I posted?

[FactionHeir]

We play the 6.59b with AI anyway so not seeing much of the 6.61 yet

Re your map, I think I played that online a few years back, or something looking quite identical.

All the maps like that look the same, but this one is the best.

I really don't think it's the game itself that gives Warcraft 3 it's prestige but the multiplayer
custom maps. Plenty of ppl still play them & I once played a full month on them, though I
only play the RTS ones like Lords of the realm, Europa & my favourite Desert Storm III (although
no1 hosts it anymore) though with DOTA being every1 else's favourite it appears.. -.-

Annoyingly my router just can't host games anymore & having a new computer means that I
have to download all those maps again.. that would probably be the main issue of it >.<
