I know there's some hate on this forums for Warcraft 3 custom maps, but this topic isn't for any such flaming. I don't want this thread to degenerate into such.

I've been looking for a completed Warcraft 3 RPG of extremely high quality (and in English) that I could play with my roommate. Unfortunately, I was unable to pinpoint a specific website where the best Warcraft 3 mappers frequent. Something with say, a nice organized database and some form of ranking system for each map.

As I'm not familiar with the Warcraft 3 mapping environment, I'm hoping that someone here at SEN might give me a few leads as to which websites, or perhaps even specific maps, I should look at.

An example of something I'd LIKE to play is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmWk5oJJ7R8 . Unfortunately, it is both incomplete and in a foreign language (German), but it nonetheless showcases what I'd like to try out.

Thanks a lot in advance.

That's really cool. I always knew not many people were taking full advantage of the WC3 editor and this guy proves it.

Sorry but I never really found any of those sites either.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
