Bonus Content!

Attachments below includes the 1v1 beta copy and retrospective version of the original map. Feel free to download any of them, we want to make this map a rich resource.

Details:
Retro Version: a nearly same mimic of the original WC 2 map, it isn't playable but I hope it could be used as a template
1v1 Beta Copy: contains only half of the map, playable 1v1 version. WiP purposes.

Enjoy

Tested, then re-tested.

I would chance some item drops.. like the inferno stone dropped at the mercenary camp by the ice troll was awful.
The terrain and envoirnment look good, but it is too asimmetric, middle if much nearer to blue and purp.
Even if you wanted to copy the wc2 map, I would have made some changes, like putting the middle a little bit northern, and adding more accessible pathing instead of the deep water.
And minimap isn't that attractive..

However it was fun to play 1n1 and ffa

3/5 from me

The inferno stone was completely random believe me, it is set to 'Random Level 6' item. That is if were talking about the same thing lol.

Thanks for playing though, your comments are very insightful but I don't think I would be making these changes, I wanted to make people feel how was it like to play WC 3 to WC 2 without making too much changes and yes I admit it was assymetric but doesn't mean its imbalanced. :ogre_haosis:

Cheese is powah? Wazzat?
Awesome recreation though!

Locate the cheese hidden within the map, and probably you'll get a reward from me from doing so... :ogre_hurrhurr:
This is also available to my older melee maps! And please do rate the map mate...
