Age of Warcraft
Hey there fellow Warcraft 3 fans,
Our ongoing project is dedicated to introducing the multi-faction element into the game. Our goal is to enhance nearly all of Blizzard's official melee maps by incorporating additional factions.
At this point, we have 15 playable factions, a new main menu, and revamped gameplay for all of them. The factions are as follows:
- Kingdom of Lordaeron
- Scarlet Crusade
- Kingdom of Dalaran
- Orcs of the New Horde
- Tauren
- Zandalari Empire
- Lost Ones
- Undead
- Night Elves
- Blood Elves
- High Elves
- Naga
- Darkspear Tribe
- City-State of Theramore
- Amani Empire
To enhance the gaming experience, we have created numerous custom assets and abilities. Furthermore, we have developed Blizzard-like AIs for each of our custom factions, ensuring challenging and dynamic gameplay whether you're playing solo or with friends.
Here is also a link to our
Map development post for more information.
---------Patch 2.2--------
- New faction selection menu, accessible only from our AoW folder.
- New UIs and ambience music for all factions.
- New button for selecting our Faction Leaders, either by clicking it or by pressing F4.
- New icons for all our factions on the score screen and loading screen.
---------Second Expansion Changes--------
- Two New Factions: The City-State of Theramore and the Amani Trolls enter the fray.
- Faction Leader System: Every faction now has a unique Faction Leader that can only be created once per game. If another player on the map has the same faction and creates the Faction Leader first, you will lose the ability to create that leader. Therefore, it is recommended to play with different factions. As you know, the Lich King will be especially powerful, featuring both land and flying animations. He is designed to feel like an end-game scenario. Faction Leaders will also have a special indicator when they are created.
- Two New Tavern Heroes
- Reworked Darkspear Buildings.
- And last but not least, 4 new maps: (2) Terenas Stand, (4) Borderlands, (6) Dustwallow Marsh, and (12) Icecrown. All maps have been adjusted to properly accommodate our mod.
---------First Expansion Changes--------
-
All our factions have been reworked. This means we’ve recalculated stats and rebalanced units and abilities based on new faction and racial traits, inspired by campaign stats and World of Warcraft lore. For example, the Scarlet Crusade now focuses more on healing and reviving their units. Another example is the Tauren, who now use a caravan system that allows them to relocate most of their base. Additionally, all Tauren units can be resurrected by a Spirit Walker. These are just a few of the many changes waiting to be explored.
-
We’ve also introduced new elite units and upgradable units for each race. This feature further diversifies the factions. For instance, the High Elves are now more focused on their archers.
-
Almost all of our factions now have unique icons for their upgrades.
-
A new neutral building, the Goblin Bank, has been added. It allows players to trade gold for wood and vice versa. Of course, since goblins are greedy, there’s a small commission based on the bundle size you choose to exchange.
-
Racial and faction traits are now fully implemented. Every faction in our mod has its own unique Faction trait. For example, Zandalari Troll units have traits based on the Loa they worship.
-
The Scourge now have two new heroes: the Boneguard and the Necrolord.
-
We’ve also added a new experimental Tavern hero, the Justicar. Upon learning his ultimate ability, he change appearance and movement speed to match his new form.
-
And last but not least, a new faction enters the fray: the Darkspear Trolls.

---------- Installation Guide ----------
Step 1
Download both parts of the installer from
Age of Warcraft Mod Installer.
Step 2
Before installing the mod, unzip the Age_of_Warcraft_installer_0.2.0_part_1 & Age_of_Warcraft_installer_0.2.0_part_2. Then take the Age_of_Warcraft_helper folder from Age_of_Warcraft_installer_0.2.0_part_2 and place it to the Age_of_Warcraft_installer_0.2.0_part_1 folder
Step 3
Uninstall any previous installation.
Step 4
Run the Age_of_Warcraft_installer.exe from the Age_of_Warcraft_installer_0.2.0_part_1 folder.
The Second Expansion, 0.2.0, is for patch 2.0.4+
Step 5
Be sure that your game is located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Warcraft III, if not then click on browse and locate your Warcraft III folder.

---------- How to uninstall the mod ----------
Either from the installer or the Programs and Features, you can uninstall the mod. This process doesn't delete the replaceable textures or affect any folder of other mods or projects.
---------- Known Issues ----------
Sometimes, if you run one of our maps that has more than four players and successfully complete the game, trying to play one of our maps again may cause the game to crash. All you need to do is restart the game to play again. As of now, we don't know exactly what causes this issue; it started happening after patch 1.36.2.
