[Role Playing Game] Plains of Warcraft

[Seedro]

• Open world RPG with 32 heroes mostly based loosely on old school Blizzard characters/classes with a few all new designs
• Evolving units and many customized items with unique and useful combinations
• Features a spell damage system where your max mana is converted into a small amount of AoE damage and/or AoE healing at multiple points with multiple radiuses for all major abilities, every spell cast requires perfect precision for maximum effect
• Scripted difficult boss encounters
• Hardcore loss of levels, gold and a possible random item along with a generally slow stat growth and aggressive unpredictable AI makes PvP combat meaningful and allows weaker characters to strategically outplay geared enemies
• Constantly reworked map built over 15 years with thousands of hours of development/rebuilding
• Currently in BETA, although single player only has minor issues, not bug tested for multiplayer at all, but is currently playable with others for testing purposes, recommended to run with Reforged graphics mode as some icons are missing
• 0.20 Reforged version consistently updated project available below (link removed when hotfixing bugs)

0.2.0 Reforged version:

(Screenshots show Reshade effects notably sharpening, motion blur, bloom, CA and technicolor. Motion blur clears some of the animation and frame jittering bugs in these beta versions and it is recommended. Added the default Reshade below, extract to *\Warcraft III\_retail_\x86_64\)

Issues/Not finished content:

• Animations have a bit of stuttering
• Unit responses really aren't done at all since I always keep them off anyway
• Memory leaks lead to crashes, might be a Reforged issue, 16GB+ RAM with no background programs open is ideal
• Mana regen randomly increases drastically, (noticed on June 1, 2023), possibly an engine issue
• Unintentionally high damage spikes seem to come rarely, possibly an engine issue

Known Issue: broken attack animations on some units with a hack-job fix that causes animation stuttering instead of being missing, happened since reforged, might be porting issue from much older versions as the map is so old, cant find any information on this issue sadly, also probably there are some leftover items that drop that should not drop, although this is a very rare occurrence
