Hello,
I've recently decided to test my map(s) for my War2 inspired Macro RTS mod - Called Tides of Conflict - more publicly, since I deem it now technically stable enough (no memory leaks, massive FPS drops, crashes etc..) to do so.
I. What is Tides of Conflict?
II. Getting started with ToC
III. Basic Gameplay of ToC
IV. Hotkeys
V. The World Conquest Map
VI. Naval Combat
VII. Spells and Abilities of the Alliance
VIII. Spells and Abilities of the Horde
Credits:
Thanks to hiveworkshop.com and world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net for
their good World Editor tutorials and help.
Music:
The Warcraft 2 soundtrack was originaly composed by Glenn Stafford.
All the Warcraft 2 Music you hear ingame is remastered by BaDitO.
One of the Human Soundtracks is a completly original composition of
BaDitO
All the art was made by BaDitO.
All other assets (voices etc..) are taken from other Warcraft Games and
therfore made by Blizzard.
Map(s) and triggers made by BaDitO

If you're intrested of seeing some gameplay here is wtii playing my map in a full 4v4
also check out zoomsf playing it
Twitch
Additonal Information:
Most of the custom sounds are taken from both WoW classic and War2.
Known issues:
When your workers are garrisioned in a Town Hall, and you produce something or upgrade the building, they can't leave until it is done. Unfortunately I ahve no idea right now on how to fix this. since this is a issue with the battle stations mechanic of War3 itself.
I'd greatly appriciate if you join the Tides of Conflict testing discord (link to join is Join the TidesOfConflict Discord Server! ) , since I check discord relativly often, and it is easier for me to check it during my dayjob.
Well that should be it, and I hope you'll enjoy the map(s) I create
Best Regards

I. What is Tides of Conflict?
Tides of Conflict is a collection of maps for Warcraft III Reforged, which
aims to reimagine (or modernizse) the Gameplay of Warcraft II while
preserving the general feeling of Warcraft II (music, aambience, sense of
scale etc..).
While I was, and still am a big fan of Warcraft III, it never felt to me as
the true sucessor of Warcraft II.
Warcraft II felt to me like a fantasy version of a big World War where two
opposing set of Alliances clash with each other. You would be the
Commander of huge and massive armies, clashing in big epic battles with
the enemy.
Warcraft III felt to me to be smaller in scale, more of a adventure then a
militaristic Campaign. Do not get me wrong, it was very good. But I want
to offer people who wont put up the the very clunky and outdated
mechanics of WarII the same experience as I had as a child.
Overall I took some steps to streamline and simplify the Gameplay of WarII.
No more friendly fire to deal with, fewer but more powerfull upgrades,
farms provide more supply, and overall I gave it a more Starcraft II like
supply system.
Well that should be enough rambling from my side. Thank you for testing
my map and I hope you enjoy reliving the epic conflicts of the second war.

II. Getting started with ToC
Requirements to play:
- A vailid CD key for Warcraft III or a version of Warcraft III Reforged
preorded from the Blizzard store
- A english game client is strongly recommended
- I strongly suggest to turn off custom hotkeys
- the lastest version of my maps (Download link is accessible via the Tides
of Conflict Discord or this thread ) saved in your Warcraft III maps folder
At the moment there is only the World Conquest”map accessable, but
more maps will come in the future (old warII ladder maps ported over
in war3 with ToC Gameplay and assets and maybe even completly
original designs for meele maps, also more game modes for the World
conquest map are in the works, such as atrifact hunt, where the two teams
search for crucial magical artifacs, such as the Skull of Gul’Dan, the Eye
of Dalaran or the Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras. Also a Story Mode for the
World Conquest Map is planned, where each player get specific goals
dictated by Warcraft II lore.

III. Basic Gameplay of ToC
Tides of Conflict is a Macro based RTS (Real Time Strategy Game).
That means that base building, economy and production takes priority
over micromanaging individual Units.
In addition to that I tried to make the two races a little bit more diverse.
The Alliance focuses more on a more defensive style of play focusing on
getting tanky units with healing support while ranged units and casters
deal the most amount of damage possible to the enemy. Your priority should
be to protect and preserve your caster-ranged units to the best of your
ability.
The Horde on the other hand is focused on causing the biggest amount of
destruction possible. They have the highest amount of meele DPS and
cleave damage in the game. In additon to powerfull AoE spells of the Death
Knights and Dragons. But at the cost of a very limited amount of healing
and static defence.
Naval Warfare on the other Hand is completly mirrored, that means every
naval unit for both factions is equal with their counterpart.

IV. Hotkeys
Hotkeys in ToC are in a so called Grid Layout. That means that
starting from the top left corner it is QWER and in the second row
it is ASDF and in the third row it is ZXC. I have made a picture to
illustrate this.
In case any Hotkeys should not work first check if you use custom
Hotkeys for Warcraft 3 and disable it. If you use a non english client, use
the englush US client for Warcraft 3.
If those two steps did not work and a hotkeys is still not working, then
fill out a bug report on the bug report channel on the ToC Discord or in this thread.

Goal of every Match of World Conquest is to reach 200.000 Points
before the enemy Team does. You get points for every Circle of Power your
team controls. The more Circles you control the more points your team gets
per Circle.
The folloing picture shows every position of the Circles of Powers and the
player Starting Locations

Since the World Conquest Maps contains Islands, I was forced to
implement naval combat. I have tried to make it more intresting, by
turning ships basically into mobile bases. You can hire parts of their
crew (workers and marine infantry) as land units and workers can return rescources
into ships.
Since this would make ships almost too powerfull, they have very long
building times and high supply costs. So be carefull not to build to many of
them.
You can hire Shipbuilders at your Main buildings and at Shipyards. In
addition to the long building process of the regular Warships you can hire
armed Merchant ships in your harbor for gold, but they are very weak
compared to proper Warships, but you can still use them to secure
resources from Islands. You can also hire transport ships from the
shipyard.
Every ship except Transports can cast a naval bombardment once
anchored. The stronger the ship, the stronger is the bombardment. Each
bombardment costs mana, but ships can only regen mana when they are
near a shipyard

Reduced Gold Cost from 6100 => 3900
Orc Fortress:
Increased Gold Cost from 7750 => 9950
Dev note: from my testing it has become obvious that Humans need their t2 more urgently then orcs do, Orcs are completly fine staying on t1 for a extended period of time - going for both expansion AND mass t1 units - while Humans really need to get Elven Mage priests for their healing ASAP to trade t1 units efficently with the orcs without tower support. A buff direct buff to human t1 seemed not to be the ideal solution, since once humans get healing they would just be straight up better then orcs. Therefore a price reduction on the t2 tech seemed to be the right solution. But on the other hand t3 got more expensive.
Goblin Sappers:
Are now buildable on t2
Dwarven War Wagon:

UPDATE: Version 4 released
Changelog for version Private Test 4 (compared to version 3b):
Dev note: I had to do a major rework of the economy in special the prices since gold would just stack up to quickly and it would allow to mass units, which I did not intent to be massed to such levels.
T1 units/buildings remain mostly unchanged. Prices for t2/t3 units have been increased 2 to 5 times.
Also upgrades/researches got way more expensive and will take now 2 to 3 times longer to research.
Hopefully this will prevent mindless spamming of high tier units, while you can still mass t1 units.
Enjoy playing ToC

Dev note: I had to do a major rework of the economy in special the prices since gold would just stack up to quickly and it would allow to mass units, which I did not intent to be massed to such levels.
T1 units/buildings remain mostly unchanged. Prices for t2/t3 units have been increased 2 to 5 times.
Also upgrades/researches got way more expensive and will take now 2 to 3 times longer to research.
Hopefully this will prevent mindless spamming of high tier units, while you can still mass t1 units.
Enjoy playing ToC

UPDATE: World Map Testing Version updated to version 3b
Map:
- Added some lumber close to Dalaran's starting position.
Spells:
- All spells that CAN damage building will now cause 100% damage of the spell BEFORE the armour reduction kicks in.
- Bloodloust, Essence of the Sunwell and Holy light can no longer affect allied units. *
- Whirlwind: damage and duration slightly increased.
* Dev note: This change should affect the gameplay of the World Map only in a minimal way, however this change was required in order to make the melee maps more balanced. Orc units able to be healed by human allied players was just to strong when put against a team of players of the same race (hu/hu team or /orc/orc), also bloodlousting human unite was quite to strong.
Units:
Goblin Zepplin:
- Reduced cargo size to 4
- If the zepplin dies while it has units loaded in it, the units will die.
Goblin sappers:
- reduced transported size to 4
misc:
- fixed the tooltips for ships anchor/pull anchor ability.
- Added some lumber close to Dalaran's starting position.
