[Game On] Footman Frenzy a.k.a. not DOTA

FOOTMAN FRENZY!

What is footman frenzy you ask? A custom map for Warcraft 3: the frozen throne. A very basic concept: 12 people, 4 teams of 3 situated on a map like so:

Each corner is a team's base containing 3 barracks, 1 for each player on the team. It will produce a constant stream of footman for you to use. In addition you start with enough gold to purchase a hero unit.

From there everyone pushes into the middle and fights. The very middle is a mana pool which is key to keeping your heroes with enough mana that they can work effectively.

As you kill people and gain money you can choose to get items to increase your heroes stats or tech up your troops. And as your heroes level up and gain access to their better abilities the game just gets crazy and absurd due to the size of the map and the fact that you are in combat about 80%+ of the game.

It's a great game that my friends and I used to play a lot and we decided to play again tonight for old times sake... and yup, it's still shit tons of fun.

So, anybody down for some footies? :D

    I like this a lot more compared to DotA because it's a lot more fastpaced. Only played it a few times before.

    Maybe tomorrow or the day after, when I don't have to go to work.

    The fact that Warcraft 3 by itself still costs 30 dollars annoys me to no end. Otherwise I would definitely try it out.

    The hero combo's in this game are awesome. Nothing beats a full house game though!

    Some friends of mine made this mod. It's pretty damn fun, I use to play it a lot back in the day. Even have my own unit (Blank the War Golem :D). I should really reinstall War3 -_-
