Hey wc3 lovers! Just a couple of informations :
The last W/e some stephano/grubby games on wc3 was incrédible. This showmatch was played during the Numericable M-House cup, in France. I Will up date the topic with VoD asap
On millenium.org, (for french only) there is sometimes wc3 livestream with viewers, playing customs games like pyramid escape, TTW, pudge wars, potm wars, micro battle etc...

Are there any good resources for learning the basics of this game? I've been playing a little bit and I'm feeling totally lost. I don't even know how to micro my units at all. For now I play NE, just in case there is any race specific stuff out there. I have really been searching, but I haven't come close to anything like the SC community(or basically any other community) at all.

I dont know about guides that will go into every single detail like the sc2 ones , most of us can agree that we learned our builds from trial and error , vods and replays.
I found these guides for micro , I remember the 1st one really helped me out :

Does anyone have a link to download warkeys? Sourceforge seems to be kaput, and I haven't been successful in my search for an alternative mirror. I could also do with an alternative to warkeys.

Hey vonKlaust, and welcome to the thread!
I've found this page, with a few mirrors. The first one doesn't work, but the second one does. The version may be outdated, but I think you can update it once it's installed.
I'd be happy to give you some counsel and stuff when we both have the time! Add me on GArena: Greystark, and we'll get things going!
Long live WC3!

Added you! Since I live in Europe and you don't there is probably gonna be some latency if we're gonna play, but I guess it can't get worse than standard Bnet.

Hey vonKlaust!
No, I don't think that will be an issue if we play on GArena. It usually handles the lag pretty well.
The real problem will be to find a time to play, what with the holidays and the difference in our timezones! But we'll manage!
I'll just stay on GArena at all times, and I'll whisper you when I got time.
Long live WC3!

recently Grubby and Lucifer played some games against eachother - both randomed. Grubby streamed those and now also released the VoDs. The first 2 are out:
Game 1 on TM + Show Spoiler +
Game 2 on TR + Show Spoiler +
Game 3 on EI + Show Spoiler +
I will add the other games when Grubby uploads them.
edit: game 3 uploaded

Did you get my friend invite? When I'm logging on to Garena it's still amazed that I have no friends. I'm bassically completely free for a few weeks, so we should be able to fit in a few games.

There are two most important things that are very different from starcraft.
1. Retreat wounded units and/or deny them. Unlike starcraft, wounded units can be easily healed to full and getting your units killed give enemy heroes experience. You do NOT want that. Whenever possible save your units or kill them yourself (or by neutral creeps).
2. Surrounding. Warcraft 3 places a lot of emphasis on surrounding enemy units with your own, particularly if you are using melee units. Without surrounds it is hard to kill units, so you want to surround enemy units when feasible and prevent your own units from surrounded.

I added you, vonKlaust.
At the moment I'm away from home and away from the computer a lot, so I probably won't have time to play until I return home on the 3rd.
I suggest you read the OP, I put a ton of information in there toward the end of the post: you'll find tips and important concepts related to WC3.

some days ago i played a game in w3arena. god how i hate the BM all the memories came back. f* imba xD

Is there an ISO of just regular WC3 I can grab? I have the instruction manual with the CD key as well as the cd's for reign of chaos and frozen throne with cd keys but not the original CD. And everything I find is all of them precracked which doesn't do anything for me since I can't register my versions

Did you register your CD keys to your blizzard account? You can download the game from there.
If your keys were registered by somebody else then you can get someone else to download the files from blizzard and pass them along to you.

Does anyone have customkeys that I can use? Like qwerty or asdfg or something like grid in SC2? I only know how to get customkeys for DotA, but not WC3.
edit: nvm

I would absolutely love for ToD to play some WC3 games. I was a huge fan of his play style, and I know he was around when Grubby and Lucifer were going at it.
I hope it does happen, if this thing of former WC3 pro players going back to WC3 for fun becomes a trend somehow, which I pray it does!
Make it happen! Long live WC3!

Why didn't I think of this? Lol. Such an easy fix. Thanks.
