Four playable factions can be chosen from: Humans, Orcs, (both of which appeared in the previous games) and two new factions: the Night Elves and the Undead. In the game, as in many real-time strategy (RTS) games, players collect resources, train individual units and heroes, and build bases in order to achieve various goals (in single-player mode), or to defeat the enemy player.

It chronicles the combined efforts of the Human Alliance, Orcish Horde, and Night Elves to stop them before they can corrupt the World Tree. Warcraft III is set several years after the events of Warcraft II, and tells the story of the Burning Legion's attempt to conquer the fictional world of Azeroth with the help of an army of the Undead, led by fallen paladin Arthas Menethil.

An expansion pack, The Frozen Throne, was released in July 2003. It is the second sequel to Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, after Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, the third game set in the Warcraft fictional universe, and the first to be rendered in three dimensions. Maybe it's the old school feel about it.Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is a high fantasy real-time strategy computer video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment released in July 2002. They'll kick my ass, but I still enjoy it haha! It's odd but I kind of prefer the original Dota as opposed to Valve's. I'll have to try Dota as well seeing as the bots are just phenomenal. I remember that one from its really early years! Wow, it's changed a bit. Yeah, I actually found a few good ones that apparently have 10's of hours worth of play on Hiveworkshop. Anyways, try looking at the "top rated" or "director's cut" sections, maybe you'll find something worth playing there. Other than that it's hard to suggest maps and campaigns nowadays, Wc3 patches tend to break compatibility with old maps and campaigns, so a lot of them simply won't work anymore with a fully patched game. It's pretty complex and there's a lot going on (it's actually 5 maps in one, each one with different objectives and mechanics) so it may be a good idea playing against no more than one or two bots as you learn the basics. I've been playing EotA recently (AoS/Dota map, singleplayer is possible with bots) and it's quite fun, that AI is something very, very impressive for a Wc3 map. Avogadro6: is the largest modding site still alive and in relatively good health, I recommend looking there (although it looks like it had a site redesign too many and now it's a pain to browse).
