Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos 2002

Is it still worth playing?

Blizzard's 2002 real time strategy game for Windows and Mac, the first Warcraft rendered in 3D, set in Azeroth, where the Burning Legion tries to conquer the land using the Undead Scourge. There are four factions, Humans, Orcs, Night Elves and Undead, and three resources, gold, lumber and food, with an upkeep system that cuts your gold income when you field many units. Heroes gain experience up to level 10 and unlock an ultimate ability at level six, and creeps that guard mines and areas give experience, gold and items. Day and night change visibility and how creeps behave. Four campaigns, one per faction, are split into chapters, and the World Editor produced mods such as Defense of the Ancients, credited with inspiring the MOBA genre. Levelling a few heroes and using their abilities while you fight over the map keeps it worth playing today.
