Synopsis
Hades has created the Black Road from the Underworld and his demonic hordes have come to ravage Greece. Darkest evil descends upon the fathers of the West in many guises, and Athens is beset on all sides. To aid him in his unholy quest, Hades has called upon the ancient Titans. Defeat the eight Titans to break Hades' power before Athens is destroyed forever.
To win, you must defeat Hades at the Gates of Hell at the end of the Black Road. To summon Hades, defeat the eight Titans scattered around the map. When you do, the Gates of Hell will become vulnerable. Attack the Gates of Hell until Hades arrives.
Saving and Loading
To save your character, type -save <string> / -s <string> / -sc <string> at any time. You will receive a string of characters representing your level, class, hero inventory, and other stats saved as "<Player Name> <Class Name> <string>.txt". These string of characters can be found in "Documents\Warcraft III\CustomMapData\TBR Saves\" as text files. If you cannot find this file, Warcraft III may not write these text files to the correct filepath if your computer account's name includes non-English characters (as of patch 1.30.1). Consumables, quest items, crafting ingredients, and backpack inventory will not be saved unless otherwise noted. You may assume that all other items will be saved.
To load a character, type -load followed by your save code. You may only load one character per game and once you successfully load you may not repick so make sure the save code you enter is the correct one.
To load a bank, type –load bank followed by your bank save code.
