element td, the greatest td of all time, is still superior in the wc3 version (compared to the dota 2 one).

yr new gurlfrand! posted:Kodo Tag is also still better in WC3 than SC2 Yeah, the Kodo Tag is really weird on SC2. It has randomly generated terrain and you get random buildings too that you have to build to cycle a new random building. Kind of a shame cause I really liked Kodo over other tags on Wc3 because the AI controls the much hated "wolf" positions.

I think it might have been a pre-BW map, just 5 players each controlling 1 unit, I think your character could go up to level 5 and each level required completing a quest and that would morph you into a new unit to represent your new "level". Technically it was an open world map, so you could go around and do anything you wanted also there was like prisoner rpg or something like that, all of the players started off controlling 1 civilian unit and then everyone would escape from jail and go on an epic quest with similar leveling mechanics to Elements RPG. Pretty sure this was pre-BW, too man old-school SC1 custom maps were the best

You also had to urinate into a toilet (a Moon Well) or you explode lol.

Anyway here's the Moon Well toilet in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mICzbfeWMKg&t=380s. I forgot you also have to flush it

I think one of the downsides of Blizzard including map encryption in SC2 is you don't have spinoffs anymore, which (for better or worse) were a huge part of Warcraft 3 (I think you could only encrypt through 3rd party programs). I was acquainted with the original makers of Wintermaul TD and Tree Tag (my name was even in the credits of the latter), both of which were plagiarised and had their credits removed. Both guys were pissed off about it. Hell, even DOTA was ripped from Aeon of Strife. That's where all those crappy DBZmaul, Pokemaul etc. TD's came from but kids liked playing them and in a way they kept old maps fresh. Maybe SC2 needed a spinoff function, where you can edit a map but it's still credited in some way to the original maker. Like the (now-defunct) Xbox's Project Spark gamemaker game had.

didn't someone create a custom version of echo isles that was rigged for or against orc and it wasn't discovered for a long time? I googled but I couldn't find anything on it. I remember the map was branded with insignia from sponsors or the replay site or whatever (like http://war3.replays.net) and the random damage was tinkered with either up or down for the orc. pro players played on it for tournaments.

It's trivially easy to spot edited units though. The unit editor helpfully counts and highlights all nonstandard units for you.

The lowered latency cap is exciting. While adapting to 250 was possible it was an annoying issue to deal with in a game that was based around micro.

Of all the things retconned out of Warcraft 2, I think the one I miss the most is Cross Island. Seriously, whatever happened to Cross Island? Dalaran used to be built on an island literally shaped like a cross. Just completely abandoned once Warcraft 3 rolled around.

You know I remember WC3 customs being incredibly fun and I spent a good chunk of my highschool years on LAN with friends trying out new ones on weekends - but they remade a lot of the same games in DOTA2 and I cannot get into them at all. I don't know if my standards were just lower back then
