Wait...what?
James Cameron's A V A T A R,
the warcraft 3 map, by Dj0z.
This map reuses the universe from the movie and the Xbox360 game, to make something unique.
Some things may vary from the original movie/game, for the sake of gameplay and/or technical reasons.
Only the introduction is predefined, how it ends will depend on how good you fight.
Story
(/!\ SPOILERS WARNING)
Pandora: In the Alpha Centauri star system, a moon called Pandora is home to an overscaled flora, fauna, and the Na'vi people.
They're a race of sentient, civilized humanoids, way less technologically advanced than humans. The fact that they live in constant harmony with nature probably kept them away from this need.
Eywa is Pandora incarnate. The Na'vi believe that Eywa's actions keep all life on Pandora in a perfect equilibrium.
R.D.A.: The human R.D.A. (Resources Development Administration) has sent a large deployment on this planet to gather the precious room-temperature supraconductor mineral called Unobtanium. It's the key to solve the energy crisis that mankind found itself in.
Because of the extremely dangerous nature of the pandorian environment, operations are under heavy military protection.
Avatar: Planning to use diplomacy in order to obtain peaceful cooperation from the Na'vi, the R.D.A. has genetically engineered hybrids of Human and Na'vi races, called the Avatars. Their external appearance is mostly Na'vi.
RolesGameplay changes COMPLETELY from one role to another. Play as:
- One of the four Human R.D.A. Corporations (Corps):
Benefiting from their advanced technology, the Corps can build large and heavily defended bases providing protection from the deadly environment of Pandora.
By using their different types of factories and their spaceships, they are able to build up powerful forces with world-shattering firepower.
They apply organized military strategies, so their soldiers, mechas, vehicles, aircrafts, but also stationary weaponry and long-range artillery can eliminate any opposition, including Eywa itself.

- One of the four Avatars:
Taking advantage of both their human and na'vi advantages, the Avatars follow their instincts to guide them on Pandora.
Making use of plants, animals, and everything they can find including human weapons, they train their survival skills to the level where this hostile planet becomes a paradise for them.
Gathering forces from the whole environment, including the Na'vi, they eventually unite the planet in the righteous war against the human invader.

- Eywa, the omnipresent overmind of the planet:
A true living entity worshipped as a deity by the Na'vi protects Pandora.
As the reckless Corps pillage, kill, and destroy, Eywa gets stronger and uses its planetary powers to stop them, before everything is ruined forever.

Features
- A ton of carefully selected and exploited imports (models, icons, music etc...) provide an astounding gaming experience.
- Alot of custom systems using vJASS, JASS, hashtables and GUI:
- Units have alot of custom abilities and effects.
- Advanced unit-item interactions:
-Some units will drop their weapon (e.g. Flamethrower for Firebats) upon death, or when Disarmed by a special action;
-You can pick up items on the ground to use them directly (like Avatars using dropped Rocket Launchers) or to change job (like Workers becoming Privates by grabbing SubMachineGuns);
-You can mass-train workers into soldiers instantly in two clicks, with whatever type of weapon you want;
-Soldiers can drop their weapons to become Workers, if you want to repair/build something for example;
- Inventory systems:
-The items a unit can use are restricted by the unit's type;
-A unit cannot have weird amounts of some items, depending on where they are held: for example an Avatar has 2 hands, so it cannot have 2 lances + 1 shield at once.
- Exclusive custom projectile system for many units:
-For example: 30mm Autocannon users can miss depending on distance to target, and in that case their bullets can deal collateral damage.
-Projectiles like bullets can also Ministun certain types of enemies, and score Headshots on independent types of enemies.
-Projectiles like Missiles can knockback enemies where they land, deal mixed damage (siege + molecular, at once), etc...
-Some units can shoot multiple individual projectiles at once, not based off warcraft's lame multishot ability, not 1 projectile with a model that looks like multiple projectiles either.
For example, a Scorpion assault copter shooting two 30mm bullets plus two micromissiles, all behaving differently, yet all shot at the same time.
- Riding System:
-You can make your Avatar mount an Animal. it will carry your Avatar around but they remain separate units able to perform actions individually.
For example while your ridden Toruk unit is chasing an aircraft, you can attack something else with your hero Avatar by throwing glaives, you can use your items, Persuade a unit, as if you were on the ground.
- Custom Dollars (gold) and materials (wood) gathering systems:
-Build metal extractors for materials, then forget about them, they'll keep providing you with materials while you focus on the action. You can also space-drop some from your I.S.V. spaceship (more info about this abit below).
-Dollars (gold) is mainly obtained by exploiting Unobtanium Deposits not very fast with some workers, or dramatically faster when you manufacture dedicated vehicles that can just rip it off the ground and deliver it directly. You can also use space drops for this resource.
- Quests for both sides, especially for Avatars, who have an RPG gameplay.
- Mecha system (A.M.P. suits): Put your human soldiers and heroes in robots.
Each type of foot unit gets its own corresponding type of AMP (a Firebat will get a robot with a flamethrower, a Rocket Trooper will get another type of robot, that shoots rockets, etc...)
- Spaceship drops system: obtain more personnel or resources from your I.S.V. very fast, anywhere you or any ally have built a Space Pad at.
- Custom camera system:
-Use any zoom from "almost touching the ground" to "orbital height", abit like in Supreme Commander the actual game (except units don't become just colored icons).
-Rotate the camera in all 4 cardinal directions fast and easily by just hitting keyboard shortcuts (toggleable).
- Avatars special stats:
-Understanding of Flora/Fauna/Na'vi/Humans: Obtained via killing, using Discover/Interact or performing special actions, they unlock new possibilites in their respective domains.
For example you can play an Avatar focusing on harassing Humans. You'll increase your Understanding in that domain by doing so, and unlock new possibilities like Breaking AMP weapons or Sabotaging Corp buildings.
Another example: you can focus on Understanding Animals and become able to Persuade increasingly strong beasts, in larger amounts, and get better items from them.
-Charisma: obtained by killing units yourself, will increase your Persuasion capability.
- Living and dynamic environment:
-Trees regrow from their stumps when cut down, these stumps can be destroyed forever by R.D.A. workers;
-Trees can cause special effects, like clouds of acid or mist disabling ranged attacks...
-Animals respawn from their natural habitat, which can be destroyed forever;
-Animals have specific behaviours depending on their types, they can be captured by avatars or controlled by Eywa.
- and much more...
