What version of WE should I use

[Marcus777]

Well, hello again my fellow Warcraft people! As a new mapmaker, I ,yet, have another question. Right now I use Reforged World Editor ( bought it legally), but I recently learnt that if I create my map in Reforged WE, people wo don't have Reforged won't be able to play it. My map is an ORPG genre, so I definetly need to make it accessible to as many people as possible. So is it true, that if I make my map in Reforged WE, people who don't own Reforged Wc3, and lets say play on 1.26 or 1.28 patch won't be able to play it, and only those who have reforged can?

And if it's true, what's the best WE version should I use in your opinion to reach as many people as possible?
Thank you again for all your help!

Yes if you made a map with war3 Ref people that have old versions of war 3 will not be able to play your map. Also if you have war3 1.30 you will not be able to play a 1.31 war3 map. Hmm war3 1.27, 1.30 or 1.31

If you make a map using an older version of the game, people with newer versions of the game, including Reforged, will be able to play your map.
Now if you don't care about the new features like Custom UI implemented in 1.31+ then you can develop your map using an older WE version.

Ok, thank you very much,Warseeker and Lordul Dracula. Looks like I need to look for older version of WE

Btw, I tried searching for Wc3 ver 1.28 or 1.27 but is there a site where I can just download World Editor of that version? Or how do I find/revert my World Editor to older version
