Warcraft II,5 Ancient Forest

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This project is a fast paced oldschool "standard" RTS modification for Warcraft III The Frozen Throne, that takes place after the 2nd War with the Alliance still fighting the remains of the Orcish Horde. It aims to bring the gameplay of Warcraft2, Starcraft:Broodwar and Armies of Exigo to Warcraft 3.
Some examples of changed gameplay:
- expanding is more important
- most units die faster but also can be produced faster
- new armor/damage system
- micro is similar to Starcraft Broodwar
- macro is more important compared to Warcraft 3
- no heroes are available
- advanced tooltip system
- upgrades need more time to research compared to Warcraft 3
- maps are designed with lots of chokes and cliffs to make positioning more important
- flying dropships are available
- several new models
- foodcap 200
- special naval maps (WIP)
- special maps with underground caves and mercs/creeps (WIP)

Iam still searching for testers, terrainers and AI coders/scripters.

The terrain still looks pretty bad and i had to use Blizzard cliffs cause iam not able to trigger a high ground bonus for selfmade cliffs.
Also there is only an orc AI.
Undead is not finished yet. Human, Orc and Nightelve are full playable.
There are links to replays, VODs and screenshots on moddb http://www.moddb.com/mods/warcraft-25
