One thing I don't see mentioned here is how important for history it is to be compatible with those old mad. WC3 was where the tower defense game was invented, where DOTA was invented, and where a dozen other smaller sub-genres of games were invented. Being able to play those again will be incredibly important for future generations.

- Insanity 7y agoNot sure if it'll be important but it'd be fun for sure! Think I'll have no luck on Linux though.. blizzard does not give Linux any love :(
- VonGuard 7y agoThe original works great in Wine!
- kayaeb 7y agoI think tower defense was originally a SC custom map? I might be wrong. It got huge with... WC3s Wintermaul?'s version? I think... I'm disappointed most modern versions are pre-pathed instead of build-a-pathed. Build-a-path adds a whole new element to your strat depending on your faction. Zerg-like factions thrive on building ultra-long linear paths, protoss-like factions are good building wrapping paths leading the enemy past expensive cannons multiple times. In desperate times you can block the path and take enemy assault to the towers instead of letting them walk. So much more depth than pre-pathed nonsense
