A prototype of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne for the PC.
Notes
Maps:
- Adrenaline, Rice Fields, Bridge Too Near, and Turtle Rock have been updated with improved item balance, creep balance, and creep placement.
- Tranquil Paths has been added to the beta. Its key difference from the Classic version is that it has random creeps. For the most part, creep camps are of the same power and type of capabilities (with slight differences), though some vary radically.
- A significant number of new maps have been added: Floodplains (1v1 version), Jungle Fever, Avalanche, Twisted Meadows, Paradise Islands, The Two Rivers, and Desert Strife. The final four of these are map contest winners.
- 1v1 template changes: Hailstone, Ice Flow, Whirlwind and Floodplains removed; Floodplains (1v1 version), Twisted Meadows, Desert Strife, The Two Rivers, Tranquil Paths added.
- 2v2 template changes: Tanaris, Islands, Plains of Snow removed; Jungle Fever, Paradise Islands, Avalanche added.
