Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (WC3: RoC) is an RTS game released by Blizzard Entertainment in 2002. It features four completely different races, each with a lengthy campaign, a great multiplayer mode with almost perfect balance and a fantastic editor which resulted in countless maps and mods for the game over the years.

The add-on The Frozen Throne (WC3: TFT) added several new units to each race as well as neutral heroes which further improved the balance of the multiplayer and four new campaigns which complete the storyline and serve as a connection to World of Warcraft.

World editor
The world editor of Warcraft III can only be explained as two things: great and very complex. If you know how to use the world editor properly you can create almost anything you want in the Warcraft III engine, and you don't have to know how to program. But even if you are new to the editor you can quickly create simple maps: Editor strategies.

Custom map strategies
Custom maps are what would be called "mods" in other games. They modify Warcraft III to either change the rules of the game or to change the game completely.
