I am terrible at Warcraft 3 - tactics ... gah! Diablo 2 is much more my speed, just barrel into enemies with my blessed hammer a'swingin. Probably why I'm so bad at Warcraft 3 ...

Well there are plenty of custom games that are far more simple and straight forward than classic Warcraft 3. Especially if you're into Diablo II you may want to try a custom game called "Sunken City" one of these days (it's in the post if you ctrl+f you can find it), really rich customization options and classic dungeon crawling experience. Either way, it is going to be interesting to see how much love both Diablo II/Warcraft 3 get over the next year or two from blizzard.

Sound's interesting. I'll certainly go and check it out. Thanks!

This post brings back so many memories!! My favourite custom games were Urther party, Impossible bosses, some of the maze ones where if you touch a unit you die and the tower defenses where you can make your own maze. Kodo defense was legit as. I've been playing dota2 nowadays and they've implemented custom games onto that too i.e. pudge wars.

Oh wow. What a thorough and solid post! You've just upped the average quality of content here on #steemit by a few orders of magnitude.

Paging @gaming-trail to consider this for featuring in the daily best of updates!

I actually replayed all of Warcraft 3 last year (base game) and I'm half way through Frozen Throne. Still so good, and I agree that the underlying tech and the production quality as a whole are so solid that the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia don't even come into play here... It's genuinely that good.

Brilliant post about a brilliant, influential stand-out classic.

Thank you @teslalifestyle!

Looks like you are off to a good start, nice to see some different content get recognition.

thanks for stopping by! I know wc3 may not be super relevant/niche sounding to mass market so I tried to contextualize the game as much as possible around big names like dota and so forth.

Metin 2 is better

Oh man you made me want to find that flash drive with WC3 saved on it after reading this post. I loved me some castle/tower defense or footies. Best memories I had in my youth was from this game and massive 12 player games at LAN centers..

Depressing I know but totally awesome and worth the countless hours I spent staring at my screen.

How about a post about C&C Generals next?
