What Epic War is
Epic War is a free website for browsing, searching, downloading, and uploading Warcraft III maps. Its directory searches by map name, author, player count, game version, and category, including campaign, castle defense, cinematics, hero arena, hero defense, melee, role playing, tower defense, and tower wars. Listings can be sorted by date, rating, or download count, and individual pages show ratings and download totals. Visitors download files through a button or link and save them in Warcraft III’s maps folder. The site lists maps from versions before 1.00 through 3.0.1 and gives folder guidance for version 1.28 and later, including Reforged, and for 1.27b and older. Users may upload map files not already listed, up to 500 MB. Campaigns in W3N format cannot currently be uploaded. Protected maps may run in Warcraft III even when they cannot open in World Editor, and protection can hide metadata. Missing information can be reported for manual updating. Epic War runs on the web and covers one game.
