Oh man Warcraft 2 used to have BGH customs too!
I also remember really enjoying these “Champions” customs where you had one strong unit that was modded to be even stronger and you had to progress through a map of obstacles and enemies. It totally took the resources/build part out of the equation and just focused on movement and combat.
IIRC, the entire MOBA genre was actually spawned from a Warcraft 3 custom map (the original DOTA?)
The bummer is, we can still play the single player campaigns of Star/Warcraft but those days of weirdo custom maps are likely gone for good.
- zztop44 4y agoThe original Defense of the Ancients custom map for Warcraft 3 was heavily influenced by a StarCraft custom map called Aeons of Strife (iirc). It is probably the first proto-MOBA. It’s true that it was Defense of the Ancients (or more properly, the DotA Allstars variant) that birthed the MOBA genre.
- soupfordummies 4y agoWell, there we go! This thread has shown me how active and deep the Starcraft custom community was. I was always more of a Warcraft guy so that's what I was exposed to but it def makes sense that SC would be just as (or more) active.
