A LARGE ARMY AUTO BATTLE ROYALE.
Fight for dominance round after round until only 1 player remains. Recruit from a large variety of troops to muster an intimidating army.
Make glorious use of Azeroth's fiercest warriors combined with racial abilities, upgrades, special items, and Heroes to dominate and crush the opposition to pieces.
Key Features
- Up to 10 player free-for-all PvP.
- Warcraft themed.
- 9 races, each with multiple unique racial abilities.
- Unique custom items of different rarity levels.
- Almost every hero from War3 can be recruited from hero draft rounds.
- Structured and strategic gameplay.
- Satisfying large army battles.
- Playable in both Classic & Reforged graphical modes! Play in Reforged mode for the best experience.
- To play single player, launch the map with yourself as the only player (do NOT add computer players). You will fight 1v1 against a competitive AI player.
- Expect game sessions to last 30-35 min.
- If playing in Reforged mode (which is recommended), please do yourself a solid and install The Quenching mod first if you haven't already.

11/21/21 - v1.0 dev version has been uploaded. This is a playable, full and unprotected version of the map that still has development elements like disabled triggers and notes. The in-game experience is considered complete and final for both singleplayer and online multiplayer. There's close to 100 custom items, many with unique effects, and I wish to continue adding more at my leisure. It's been a long time since an update and I still work on the map almost daily, so until I really feel done with it I would like to keep updating it here. Tldr; It's complete but I'm still enjoying adding more content frequently.
6/27/21 - v0.9.9p BETA has been removed. Dev version 1.0 will be uploaded here soon. War Chess will launch officially as an unprotected map from 1.0 onward.
3/14/21 - v0.9.9p BETA has been uploaded. This update fixes asset issues with SD mode and all battle units have received a thorough balance pass! Additionally, this version adds troop info tooltips, a few new Hero items, and more general polishing changes. This is the final beta version before 1.0 release.
2/25/21 - v0.9.8p BETA has been uploaded. This update brings support for classic mode, an end game stat screen, smooth camera transitions, additional camera options, a new hero to recruit, and more.
2/13/21 - Updated the media spoiler section to better reflect the current state of the game.
1/27/21 - v0.9.7p BETA has been uploaded. This update brings 7 new troops to recruit, along with 4 new legendary items, bug fixes, balance changes, income adjustments, the removal of draws and addition of sudden death, and more.
1/16/21 - v0.9.6p BETA has been uploaded. More user friendliness! With this update comes a new multiboard, balance changes, expanded tips and UI elements, bug fixes and more.
1/11/21 - It seems the first map optimizer I used is removing WE files that are causing crashes. The newest rendition of v0.9.5p does not crash players on initialization during testing so far. This version brings a slew of QOL improvements to make the experience more user friendly.
1/7/21 - I have uploaded a new beta version that I'm hoping addresses crashes on map initialization. If you download the map and experience a crash, it would be a tremendous help if you commented here with the error codes and description of what happened. Ty!
This mod is in the final stages of beta development--it is considered a complete and mostly polished playable experience relative to the final scope of the polished project.
I hope some people out there find this really enjoyable! Thanks for visiting.
