About Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is the 2002 real-time strategy masterpiece that bridged Blizzard's RTS roots and the Warcraft universe's future. It tells the story of Azeroth's struggle against the demonic Burning Legion through four cinematic campaigns — the humans, orcs, undead, and night elves — with memorable heroes, rich storytelling, and the first great RTS use of hero units. The gameplay added RPG elements to the classic RTS formula: heroes level up, carry items, and learn abilities, and the game's four factions are radically different. Its custom map system gave birth to the entire MOBA genre — Defense of the Ancients (Dota) started as a Warcraft III custom map. The Frozen Throne expansion continued the story, and the game's cutscenes and voice acting were a new standard for the genre. It remains one of the most influential strategy games ever made.
