Welcome to the World of Warcraft 2.5. Bringing back the battle for Azeroth over land, sea and air.
I started this project in 2009 called "Warcraft No Heroes". At first I just removed the heroes and the creeps but I did not enjoy the outcome. A friend of mine gave me the idea to take a more Warcraft 2ish /Broodwarish approach. The result was "Warcraft 2.5" a fast paced oldschool rts game. I had a playable version in 2010 but I waited with the release on moddb until I had 3 factions playable in March 2012. Now I release my most recent Version with 4 playable factions and several new features which were not part of the original Warcraft III, but were part of other rts games. Some examples are following here:
1. I added advanced tooltips to every unit, showing most of the unit stats
2. Changed armor/damage system and stats
Normal weapons do 100% damage to all armor types.
Light weapons do 100% damage to light armor, 50% damage to medium and 25% damage to heavy armor.
Heavy weapons do 50% damage to light, 75% to medium and 100% damage to heavy armor.
3. reworked the old spells and abilities and added completely new ones
For example the new Wizard ability "invisibility aura" . Providing invisibility to all surrounding units except the Wizard itself.
4. buildable flying and naval transports
5. yes naval units are back too with special naval maps
and many more.
6. units inside a transport die if the transport was destroyed
7. foodcap 200 / no upkeep
8. capturable resource facilities like oil derricks and buildings where you can hire mercs

A merc camp with creeps defending it.
While capturing the progress is indicated by a bar.

9. several new units/models and skins
and many more.
Now featuring a installer you will not have any trouble to install or uninstall the mod. Check it out!
Unfortunately I will not be able to work on this project alone anymore. I will need help especially for balancing, new icons, better AI and new maps.
Thank you for your attention!

good job ! and keep up the amazing work!
This is amazing.
Unfortunately the interest in playing my mod or helping me, is not that high and i do not have time to work solo on this anymore. The next update will take a while :(
The juggernauts looks great, awesome work!
So is there a download somewhere? It says:
"Now featuring a installer you will not have any trouble to install or uninstall the mod. Check it out!"
Yet, the latest download is still from June.
