Defend the Lich King Best Version

Overview

Defend the Lich King Best Version is a 12-player, two-team Warcraft III map set on a 128 by 96 battlefield. Its author, Damassafakka, describes it as a contest where each side sends troops from the edge of its own square toward the enemy base with the goal of destroying the opposing Lich King. Technologies are paid for with wood and most have twelve upgrade levels, while combat units consume supply, and heroes, workers and mercenaries do not. The item pool holds 45 entries, including stat-boosting tomes for strength, agility and intelligence along with a handful of named wands, gloves and a ban-hero option. No heroes are included in the base roster and the quest log gives no instructions, so players learn the flow by experimenting with the economy and unit paths.
