Techical Questions:


Will I need the Frozen Throne expansion?
Yes. The map uses several features only available in the expansion and will not work without it.

Did you use the normal world editor?
We used a modded version of the Warcraft World Editor known as JassNewGen created by Vexorian. This modded version removes most of the restrictions the default world editor provides. The software is completely public, and can be downloaded by anyone.

Will I need to install any new software other than Warcraft 3?
No. All of our maps have been designed to run via blizzards Battle.net. Simply host these maps like you would any other. However, if you wish to edit the maps, you will need to download and install JassNewGen Editor.
