More than 2 resources (Gold, Lumber)

[Bgutz]

I've picked up an old copy of the first Age of Empires game, and only now have I started to appreciate the micro management involved in maintaining 4 different resources. If you haven't played: the resources were food, wood, gold and stone.

Is there any way to do this in Warcraft 3?

I would assume that one could use a GUI/JASS script that would allow for resources to be stored as separate integers and displayed in a Leaderboard in the top right of the screen (much like that of DotA)?

This method would allow me to completely ignore the standard melee game's Gold and Lumber resource slots at the top of the screen.

Could someone possibly point me in the right direction?

Ye using a Multiboard is the right answer to that, beside you will have to check for every builing if the player has enough resources. For Multiboard usage go to the Tutorial Section, it is pretty easy to use. Good Luck with your Project.

Hehe, it was funny, how that wc2 mod let me build ships also without having enough oil, although it was cancelled immediately I clicked the build ship button.
