Working title as in "The Withering Kind" is the name of the planned Blood Elves campaign, not the whole project's name, I always think I wanna call all this "Beyond the Throne" as it's meant to be my own continuation of TFT's story but that name's already taken so... chuckles

Features: (v0.1b)
About the Race Handicap selection system:
Both map and mod use Archmage Owenalacaster's Custom Race System to assign each race to a race + handicap combination, thanks to that race selection is done in the pre-game lobby as per vanilla melee but handicap is actually disabled.
This is way clearer if you play the mod version on 1.31 as race selection will look like this:
Current race selection:
Blank spots still give standard races, they also affect how actually random the 50% option is.
Version Compatibility:
v0.1b: 1.31 (Full), Reforged (Testmap full, Mod has minor bugs)
v0.1a 2022 to v0.1b-: 1.31 (Full), Reforged (Testmap only)
v0.1a 2010 is compatible with versions 1.26c/1.27b, the SEMPQ of that build plays in 1.27b with no issues.

Screenies:
Setting up a 2v2v2 with the AI on Andorhal, Team 1 is me as 'F' Factor and a Draenei ally, Team 2 is Blood Elves and a random Humanoid race, Team 3 is made of random vanilla races
----------------------------------
I decide to bring the mine north of my base next to the Tavern to have some friendly competition
----------------------------------
I soon discover Team 3, I'm next to the undead and this 2v1 wasn't going so well at this point, my Draenei allies fortunately joined a little after I lost my 2nd hero
----------------------------------
My allies then end up being next to the Orcs, Wc3's team positioning is plain weird sometimes.
----------------------------------
They then neutralized an Orc counter-raid pretty effectively ngl
----------------------------------
I bump into one of Team 2 killing off the Undead as I was coming to do the same. Turns out the random human in the team ended up being 'F' Factor as well
----------------------------------
Then I meet the other half of Team 2 on a bridge and pursue
----------------------------------
Another bloody 2v1 starts at the Blood Elf main
----------------------------------
At this point I barely manage to save my Faerie Queen and fall back a bit, my allies are coming to continue the push soon
----------------------------------
Draenei managed to arrive soon after with a sizable army to then be hit at their rear by the Orc AI
----------------------------------
After I rebuild an army of mostly Boutique Raiders I go and sweep the Blood Elf bases, in the meantime both Orc and Draenei smell blood and head toward Team 2 as well, then meet almost immediately but decide to ignore each other along the way. Peak Wc3 AI
----------------------------------
Literally, what could they possibly do about an army of black knightesses coming in and smashing all of their buildings?
----------------------------------
As I'm wiping the last Team 2 buildings Orcs and Draenei suddenly remember they're enemies and start fighting
----------------------------------
Then they ded
Setting up a 3v3v3 with the AI on Round Village, my allies are going to be a Blood elf in red and a standard human in pink, the rest are more or less random
----------------------------------
Checking to see if my AI Allies are working properly
----------------------------------
Red team in the dark blue base
----------------------------------
A bunch of skirmishes vs team green
----------------------------------
A peek at my Blood Elf allies' base
----------------------------------
Team red (crab) with a mean pincer maneuver
----------------------------------
And a small break at light green's base

Features: (v0.1b)
- Blood Elf custom race
- 'F' Factor custom mini-race
- Draenei Tribes WIP custom mini-race, no research score, the 2 casters and 2 heroes are placeholders atm
- Working AI for the custom races implemented so far
- 2 extra Neutral Heroes for the Tavern (from @Kyrbi0's old "Neutral Hero Additions" project)
- A bunch of new cheats to experiment with
- Race Handicap selection system (which means handicap is disabled)
- New units and heroes with new (and somewhat original) custom abilities, most of them coded in old-timey vJass
- Research score support for custom races, for those of us who like scores
- Fully unprotected and unoptimized (so I don't lose all my progress again in case of an HDD failure)
- Play any standard melee map with the additional custom content/races
- (Only works in 1.31) Now contains a version of Monolith that has been modified to be fully compatible with the custom races
(WARNING: assign AIs their own slots in the Monolith Creeps group or else they'll be braindead) - Custom (recolored, ngl) classic menu UI (TFT, 1.31-only)
- Code (blizzard.j) is based on patch 1.31.1, Unit balance (Object Data) is based on 1.27b due to personal preference
- The mod is TFT-only, I don't remember if it even manages to load maps in RoC mode
