| (1.03) Diablo III PvP Arena -  BooodyBooody has once again recreated a part of Diablo III, this time the Arena, featuring all the classes with multiple spells! It was recently updated, bringing us new music and improved gameplay. 
|
| (1.31) Defense of Uthragon - Tranquil One of the best castle defense maps out there, this sequel (to Fortress Siege) features a whole new castle and more fast paced action, with hundreds of attackers climbing over the walls! Even though the spells seem simple, they're actually very fun to use. The new version features a new hero and a new event!
|
| (1.9) Edge of Extinction - johannesr EoE is a rather average single player RPG, with not a lot of advanced systems, but it still features a long storyline and a hero with some neat spells. It may be fun for some people. The newest version has fixed a lot of bugs.
|
| (1.0) Most Wanted - meatfactory The map actually is kind of original, where your role is to harm the population of a village and defeat the other players while doing so. Most Wanted has a class with a lot useful skills, no random flashy ones!
|
| (Public Beta 4) Oasis and Desert 2 - bowser499 An AoS that's not like the other ones you've seen so far, which features advanced spell crafting, a beautiful terrain and mini-bosses all over the map! The hosted project is currently in Beta and is being updated every week.

| Undead UI - Kwaliti A UI made for the texturing contest #18, which Kwaliti has actually won with his entry. Very useful for snow-themed maps! It has not only received a lot of praise from the moderator, but also from the community.

| (2.1.0.0) GUI SpellEvent - Magtheridon96 � "This resource provides GUIers with the ability to benefit from something like SpellEffectEvent by Bribe. What it does is use only one trigger to evaluate one spell trigger rather than a thousand. I coded it in GUI-Jass, so it doesn't require JNGP."
|
| (1.01) Explosive Toxic Gas - Tit-Cmdr � "Toxic Gas: Spews Gas onto the target area and spreads out randomly from the target point which poisons Organic units and rusts Mechanicals, dealing damage every second, if the gas is ignited it will explode dealing extra damage and setting nearby units on fire. Volanic Rock: Throws a volcanic rock at the target area dealing damage and setting nearby units on fire dealing damage over a short time also ignites toxic gas."
|
| (1.02) Chaos Portal - Tit-Cmdr � "Creates a portal at the target point which will trap nearby units within it's effect radius and push and pull them around the cage tearing them apart dealing damage and repelling units trying to enter the cage away from it."
|
| (1.2c) Kinetic Orb - Jay The Editor � "Storm sends an orb filled with high magnetic energy towards the target point. When the orb lands at the target point, all nearby enemies around the orb will receive damage. The orb will then seek for the nearest hero within a certain limit of range of radius and pull the hero to the position of the orb over time, burning away the mana of the target over time."
|
| (1.2b) Lightning Grappler - Jay The Editor � "Storm releases a highly charged energy orb to a target point, dealing 50/100/150 damage to all enemy that the orb comes across. Upon impact, all enemies around the orb will receive 120/240/360 damage and slow by 50% for 3 seconds. The electromotive energy in the orb continues to increase after impact as time passes. After a short duration, due to the potential difference between Storm and the orb, Storm himself will be pulled in acceleration towards the position of the orb, pulling up to 2/3/4 enemies along."
