My TOP 5 WarCraft 3 Custom Maps + some Honorable Mentions (Wc3 Custom Games)
Ойындар
Growing up with WarCraft 3, I absolutely loved playing the campaign, and occasionally played online. But my main love has always been the seemingly boundless creativity of the Custom Maps!
I can't be specific with individual versions and all that, largely because there were just too many of them to really have a preference, but mainly because I can't remember back 15 years to specifically which versions I would have played.
#5 Legend of Dragoon - Open RPG
#4 Uther Party
#3 SpellCraft
#2 Footmen Custom (and kinda Footmen Frenzy)
#1 Wintermaul Wars
Honorable Mentions:
Run Kitty Run
Darwin's Island
Custom Hero Defense Arena
Werewolf Transylvania
What were some of your own favourite Wc3 Custom maps? Are you looking forward to WarCraft 3 Reforged? Will you be playing it for the campaign, or the custom games?

I kind of "set the stage" at the top of the video. 2:38 if you want to jump straight to the list
-castle fight -moo moo generation -goblins vs pirates So nostalgic
Warcraft 3 custom maps were my childhood so much nostalgic memories. I used to love Uther Party. I remember playing footmen frenzy and wintermaul TD
"farmers vs hunters" was the best custom map i ever played
oh my god, I've been looking for that spellcraft map for SO LONG, I watched so many videos like this one desperately trying to find someone who finally had it in them and there it is. I am so happy. Thank you so much.
Awesome video, it's funny how you honorably mention werewolf and saying how great it was. Now among us is so huge! I never played werewolf but I remember playing the thing on wc3 customs
Man I forgot about a lot of these I dont even remember the names but there was three more I liked. They were unit centric types of custom. Which were my favorite compared to Hero, tower obstacle course centric games. One was "summoner generals" something or another. You spawned as a specific races leader and you would level up and spawn your races units. Another was the dwarf sniper game where you would sneak through forests and try to one shot other dwarfs first. Another game ( I think it was called rebel) was good too. You spawned with militia and then you tried to kill other militia. Every kill earns you more militia. Once you had enough militia you could combine them into new units at portals throughout the map. You would also combine these units in secret recipes for even better units. It was great and chaotic. Thanks for reminding me of games from childhood. Honestly I had the same experience with dota. The community was always pissed and honestly thay culture past on to dota 2. This video makes me wonder about all the custom games I forgot about. I played like 90% of these. RISK mode was fucking amazing too. Would fight in the americas pretty much every game.
I recall keep on having to write down codes. I used to love legend of dragoon. Thanks for the nostalgia.

You bet!
Games like Werewolf, Dark Deeds, Parasite, and Zerg Infestation were my absolute favourite. These were the OG Among Us with the imposter getting dozens of objectives, strategic gameplay with PvP and PvE elements, and deep progression for leveling up different 'Imposter' forms based on combat, stealth, or deception. What I'd do to get a polished standalone of these old games, man.. and the easter eggs were amazing.

yo, preach, man. I know this is a 3 year old comment but i've been back on wc3 customs recently and have been racking my brain trying to find the maps of some of these among us style games. There was one in particular that stuck with me. Wherein everyone spawns as villagers and build little towns. One is randomly the vampire at night and there's this whole process of trying to scout other villages to see who's not home at night but that risks your own life to leave your base at night. And then you vote out who you think is the vampire among us style. Any ideas?
Got tired of not playing wc3. So I am back and glad to see it is still living just fine in custom map scene. It is literally like having 100's-1000's of games all in one thank to the custom maps. Almost every genre has practically been made almost. xD Even has fighting game maps that play like mortal combat and all that. So many cool things.
Don’t know if you’ll ever see this but Legend of Dragoon was a map I spent 5+ years looking for and I’m so happy to finally find it. THANK YOU!
I loved the werewolf style games, Parasite was amazing, but the Undead Assault and Raccoon City games were awesome too. I remember one with a FPS mode that put you in third person shooter camera mode with increased exp gain... the events and missions in these games, and frantic attempts to organize and survive while your team was slowly overwhelmed was amazing.
the black road (TBR) was a great warcraft 3 open rpg game.

Great list! That RPG brings back memories! I cant remember if I played the same one, I remember being able to -save and the codes written on paper, but I felt like I was a different class. Cheers
I remember saving lots of custom map files on my usb to add to the computer shop that we played since no internet (lol) looking back there's a lot of well made games
Man, footman map was one of my favorites back on the days, I was 12 and I had a lot of fun with those custom maps while my older brother was playing Dota. I love this video man.

Quite simply, I never put a lot of time into that one. Once I settled into Wintermaul, and WMW, I just didn't really seek out other Tower Defenses. But I remember that one always having loads of available games being hosted!
You get a sub for this bro. Nostalgia rules all
Thanks for the recommendations! Enjoyed this video. I would love to see your reaction to Mun TD Wars RNG, it's a crazy team TD :)

13:44 So this sounds like something specific that I'm looking for. I'm not entirely sure what it's called, but seeing this, I feel like it is a variation of Footmen Custom, since it is a more sophisticated version of Footmen Frenzy. I dunno if this is the case here, but for what I'm looking for, there was the also the option for different races, including a couple extra ones, like blood elf and dwarf, which the latter basically puts dwarf skins over Militia units. Units also gain military ranks up to Sergeant from the kills they get. One major difference between what I'm looking for and this however is the setting. This is an island setting while what I'm looking for is a Cityscape setting. At the start of the game after loading it, you also get options of what mini-game to play. There's your standard deathmatch where it plays as it normally would, there's one where you build 8 towers in designated spots in the center of the map, and if you can have all 8 towers built, you win. There's also a Heroes-only mode. But yeah, I have been searching for this specific variation of Footmen Custom, which I'm still not entirely sure if it falls under Footmen Custom, but haven't found it yet. I know I previously found it on Epicwar like 10 to 15 years ago, but I can't find it now. Would anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
Did you ever get into the LOTR builder series of Customs? I loved those more than anything, and the different added races, along with world war zombies!
@2leftthumbs
4 жыл бұрын
I don't remember any LoTR builders? I remember there were specific like "Battle of Helms Deep" maps. But my computer/internet struggled to ever run those, since they would have like 1000s of units fighting at once!
I remember spending hours to just host an obscure game and manually refreshing the player slots. :D I remember wanting to play the moba mode in Spellcraft because it was co-op but getting players for it was hard. There was a game where one could make movies within the engine. It might have been one of the RP games like SOTDRP. 🤔 Warlock was probably the most popular game that I liked, but my current favorite is Hero of The Empire which is also a very niche but complex custom game.
There were some really advanced maps like battleship crossfire, battle tanks, impossible bosses, undead assault 2, and some french maps that were a delight to play like Zilievgrad (literally sims), "War of the clans" which was like a custom "mafia" or werewolves (you win by getting gold, you can negotiate with players to get more gold, betray to steal gold, cooperate, duel, then the voting town where you vote to eliminate which player or not). Do not ever forget about Icegliders as well. This is like such a unique game. Hero battle + slider ? Yes.
Any recommendations similar to -Claim the frozen throne -Plains of Medea
Building that multiplayer Wintermaul game on mobile sounds like a challenge ;)
if you like Tower War (TD + PVP) games, i recommend the following maps: - Forbidden Elements TW - Massacre TW - Paladin TW - Legion TD - Legion TD is very demanding and its played competitively in some wc3 servers. There's a version on steam called Legion TD 2 as a standalone game but i haven't tried this one.
I liked the run kitty run music xD
" Are Tou Lucky? " was a fun map too ! :)
For run kitty run I always remember cascada - everytime we touch
Footmen Frenzy Is my fav Playing it on 6 year old borrowing neighbour's pc playing warcraft 3 campaign & custom maps
Sad games like 100, Run Kitty Run, Platform Escape and Murloc slide doesnt work as intended anymore on Wc3 Refund, due to a lot of delay.
Lazer tag, Julien's Open RPG, World of Warcraft Rpg Reforged (yes it was called that lol), God's Land, Orc's vs Humans, TB's Wilderness Survival, Anime Wars, Battle of Troy, Battle of Helms Deep

thankyou, i subcribe
Sup bro! Maybe you cab help me out with a map I’m trying to find! I remember that you start the game as a wisp a need to choose a hero by stepping in the TP in front of the one you want. When you step into it, you are teletransported for a map full of creatures and start to farm. I remember that at the very north there was a Tidehunter lvl 30. The Medusa was very hard to kill too. When you die tou go to a safe place, that tou can but itens. I remember that the crystal Maiden have a spell that 6 waves of ice drops from the sky. And i remember too that Furion is a druid and his normal attack was big energy balls veeeeery slow! That is it. Do you remember play any map like this?

On a gorgeous day like this, I ask what is it that you want?
I Looking for a WC Frozen Throne custom map >>> map is a model of maiev / Mortred / phantom assassin Uses ability thrower shuriken glaive boomerang If hit by the blade, they will be kill instandly, have ability blink dodge or use to kill when shuriken comback yourself. Runes appear randomly on the map to collect to receive buffs. When you reach the required number of kills, you win and the game ends. If I remember correctly, the map is a rather large urban area. There should be a fountain in the middle. When killed, it will randomly respawn in a location. I searched and found a similar map: Hardcore Ninja / Pudge Wars / Ninja vs. Samurai / Ninja Scroll / Shuriken Wars / Warlock Wars, but it's not what I'm looking for. Thank you

Run Kitty Run gave the birth of hyperpop before hyperpop became mainstream via TikTok.
Hero Line Wars was also good.
X hero siege Enfo team survival Hero line wars Footmen frenzy Any kind of Maul tower defence
If you like WMW, Bloons TD Battles is a good execution of basically the same concept. It’s a mobile game, I played a lot of WMW and once I found Bloons TD Battles it was very similar.

15:06 umm, have you never played DoTa or Bleach vs One Piece vs Naruto? qweR in dota and qwerT in BvOvN. But yes, most customs for whatever reason have keybinds all over the place. Probably because you need to configure all of them manually in the editor, tho i only opened it only once and don't know the details. EDIT: changed the timestamp
"First up: Legend of Dragoon" Me: You absolute fool, that's not a Warcraft 3 map, that's an old PS1 Square Enix turn based-- oh, holy shit. Some madman actually made it into a WC3 map. No, but seriously. It stands the test of time as one of the best RPGs ever. If you liked that custom map, you owe it to yourself to give it a try on an emulator sometime. I don't even like turn based games all that much, although the combat is as good as any of the other big names of the time like Final Fantasy, but the story is so good that it didn't matter to me. I HAD to keep going for the story.
