Hello!
I got into editing warcraft 3 maps simply because I was bored and wanted to play through a short RPG. I liked the Founding of Durotar, but I wanted a different experience, so I fumbled around until I had created a clone of this campaign, except I replaced Rexxar with a simple Warlock type hero.
Unsatisfied with his abilities, I began researching triggers and how to add more abilities, design custom abilities and spellbooks, custom summoned units and so on. I almost went so far as having a nearly completed clone of the Warlock class from WoW.
I canned that project when I couldn't figure out how to get the submap transitions to work. I inserted my hero into Warchasers instead, blew through that map single player with all the new abilities I had created, then deleted everything and forgot all about editing Warcraft 3 maps.
That was years ago. Now I'm back for more.
edit: I mostly enjoy single player games. I dislike when people protect their maps. If I find a map I like to play, I want to be able to customise it to my liking and learn from it.
