[Altered Melee] Age of Warcraft project

[Darious]

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. Initially, these new factions will offer gameplay similar to the original four factions, with further diversification planned based on community feedback in subsequent releases.

At this point, we have a demo ready with 12 of our factions and a new main menu. The link of our installer is here.

The factions are as follows:

• Kingdom of Lordaeron
• Scarlet Crusade
• Kingdom of Dalaran
• Orcs of the New Horde
• Tauren
• Zandalari Trolls
• Lost Ones
• Undead
• Night Elves
• Blood Elves
• High Elves
• Naga

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. You can also check out our Ai presentation video to see how our mod plays out.

For the near future, we are also planning to release racial, faction abilities and elite units for each faction. Quality-of-life changes such as traders for resources (gold/wood), new armor shops that will change the skins of heroes and enhance their abilities. Furthermore, we plan to create many tavern heroes to enhance the gaming experience.

As for our numerous custom assets, all of them are free to be used by the community (with crediting us, of course). We also plan to create guides on how to use our assets, build your own AIs, and create your own submods/campaigns.

Looking further ahead, we are planning to create a soft rework of the campaign by using our factions and emphasizing the multi-faction element that we provide.
