Custom Races/Faction

[Ravager16829]

hi guys new here. is there a way to apply these different factions to different melee maps ? i like playing custom games and wanna try them out for example in a map like emerald gardens is that possible ? thanks in advance.

You can try Ultimate Battle mod instead of this one, but remember that the original author hasn't updated this mod just yet because of the bugs Blizzard introduced with the latest patch. If you are using the latest patch from Battle.net, you can also try War's Legacy mod.

EDIT: There may be a way. A simple method would be to open your custom race map with World Editor and export everything (imported files, objects, triggers), then open your preferred melee map and import the custom race data (imported files, objects, triggers). Do note that some of his works have been updated to be compatible with 1.32+, so you can't play custom race map on legacy WC3 versions.

Yes, you are correct. The map must be placed in "Documents\Warcraft III\Maps".

Do note that some of his custom race map will require the latest patch in order to play. I assume you are currently using the latest patch (the one you got from Battle.net), so that all of the custom race maps are playable.

For those who are curious, some of Wa666r's custom faction maps have been updated after this pack was uploaded (last update of this pack was March 2023, while some of them were either added or updated, like the new Tauren and Kul'Tiran maps), hence they only work on the latest Warcraft 3 patch. You might search for other version that can be playable on pre-Reforged versions.

There's also War's Legacy if you want to play all of his custom race as of 2026, but again, it only works on Reforged:

War's Legacy v1.55

Created by wa666r After many requests and much anticipation, I am proud to present War's Legacy—a project I’ve been working on for quite some time. It currently features 18 fully custom factions in a single map, all updated to the latest versions, surpassing even the standalone versions I’ve...
