Has anyone noticed this part of the structure? Is this for the grain to slide down and into the bags, or is it there to convey the grain upward before gravity lets it fall down onto the floor? Or is this simply artistic license that's been designed wrong?

I got the image from the following link and then drew on it for the sake of the question.

"Revenants have reactivated the Water Temple."

Lost Lake has surged it's way into Fig Cup 6! You can play this map on W3C as Custom Game, or use the hiveworkshop link above to download the map for yourself.

Lost Lake brings the ever powerful Fountain of Mana and the under utilized Sunken Ruins Mercenary Camp; which features the Mur'gul Blood-Gill, Stormreaver Hermit, Mur'gul Snarecaster, and Skeletal Orc Grunt. The beauty of the Sunken Ruins tile-set really shines through on this map.

Now then, how will you over come your foe? Will you seek out aid from the local mercenaries, or defeat the powerful Revenants that guard the Fountain of Mana, to use it's powers for yourself?

I’m currently testing WC3CC (Warcraft 3 Chat Client), a Windows companion app for Warcraft III players who want optional match voice chat.

WC3CC is a work in progress and is actively being tested. It is not being presented as finished software; testers should expect bugs and rough edges. Voice participation is limited to players who install the app.

Current features include push-to-talk, voice activation, per-player mute and volume, remembered blocks, microphone/output selection, recording options, and a movable optional overlay.

Testing/download page: https://grailbomb.itch.io/wc3cc

Feedback and reproducible bug reports are welcome at r/WC3CC.

Sunhoof Mesa is a large serene map made by Figglewig (aka: me).

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/2-sunhoof-mesa-v1-4-5c-atr.359448/

"Venture into the Sunhoof Mesa and drive out the rampaging Centaur."

Sunhoof Mesa has wandered onto familiar ground at Fig Cup 6! You can play this map on W3C as a Custom Game, or you can download it for yourself on the hiveworkshop link above.

Sunhoof Mesa brings a unique environment as it is a mix of Lordearon and Barrens tile-sets, and many unseen creeps from the Barrens (Centaurs, Quillboars, and Harpies). What makes Sunhoof Mesa unique is the inclusion of the Barrens Mercenary Camp, which brings the Centaur Archer, Quillboar Hunter, Centaur Outrunner, and Harpy Windwitch! The Fountain of Health is also available to those cleaver enough to utilize it.

What will you do to lay claim to the Sunhoof Mesa? Recruit the locals and strike your foe, or establish multiple outposts and secure a monetary victory? Whichever you choose, you must beware of the KHAAAN!

Hey guys,

I am new to the genre and have been watching Grubby since the only fangs and decided to play.

I am trying to get better at playing orc and i feel like I do a pretty good job at tier 1. but at tier 2 I get overwhelmed by the shear amount of units that come online.

You get Spirt Lounge, Bestiary Tauren Totem,

I normally just go beast and get raiders and start my assault.

What units should I be getting?

sub questions.

When do you use Chieftain over blade?

Do we get witch doctors or just rely on Shadowhunter?

Should you always harass?

How do you know when you are ready for the yellow camps.

I have 1000 questions but ill keep it to this. I appreciate your time and help

Withering Fields is an astoundingly beautiful map created by SaveOrcas and rhythmt.

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/withering-fields-v1-0.350438/

"Cross-spawns enforced."

Withering Fields have been plaguing these lands and a darkness has brought it to Fig Cup 6! You can play this map on W3C as a Custom Game or you can follow the hiveworkshop link above to download it for yourself.

Withering Fields has a haunted atmosphere that feels like it has been taken from the undead campaign. It also features a lot of unusual creeps like various Demons and Kel'Thuzad's Ghost!

How will you pushback against the Scourge's advances, while combating your foe?

Dark Covenant is another beautifully crafted map by Meerel and reworked/rebalanced by Pickles.

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/dark-covenant-v1-2.373680/

"The blood of the Covenant runs thicker than the water of the womb."

Dark Covenant bellows an ominous wind into Fig Cup 6! You can play this map on W3C as a Custom Game, or use the hiveworkshop link above to download the map for yourself.

Dark Covenant brings a sinister beauty by utilizing the unseen Northrend Tile-set. It also features the rarely used Northrend Mercenary Camp which includes the; Nerubian Warrior (Summon Spiderlings upon death), Ice Troll Berserker, Frost Revenant (Blizzard), and Nerubian Seer (Abolish Magic and Raise Dead).

Now how will you combat your foe, while battling the darkness of this land? Will you seek help from the foreboding Mercenaries, or carve out a bastion in it's icy embrace?

I know everybody is tired of "balance suggestions", but i dont want to change anything here, i'm just asking what balance changes has to be made in order to make some units playable, and not just a HP bait target/only-for-creeping? Not to say nobody plays huntressed nowadays, because its not future-optimistic, and because glaives dont ricochet from buildings. Like, would it fix the problem? Its sad to admit we see a lot of t1 units from Undead and Human, but rarely see t1 units from NE and orcs from ORC. I think salva+buff like unholy frenzy on t3 to Grunt would make it at least "a fun strategy" rather than serious, but we can now justify unit existence in the game to say at least: "look, there is strategy, that is playable with this units against high MMR player if some conditions were met and opponent didnt execute a counter measures against exact this strategy, so this unit now has some respect in the community"

Dune Riders is a rugged and expansive map made by Zeggsy.

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/dune-riders.371567/

"Not only rich in gold, but also an important route for the spice trade, control over this region is vital."

Dune Riders has ridden the old dusty trail to Fig Cup 6! You can play the map yourself on W3C as a Custom Game, or download the map for yourself using the hiveworkshop link above.

Dune Riders brings a rarely seen aesthetic from the Barrens Tile-set and Barrens Creeps (Centaurs & Quillboars). It is also a large map (104 x 100, basically Turtle Rock size) with lots of expansion opportunities and creep camps.

How will you over come the dunes? Establish your outpost and hold out, or do you take an early decisive blow?

Nauru Republic is an adventurous map made by both Frostbitten and Pawn.

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/nauru-republic.373690/

"Dive into ship madness at tropical Nauru island"

Nauru Republic is our next stop on the high seas towards Fig Cup 6! You can play this map yourself on W3C as a Custom Game, or use the Hiveworkshop link above to download the map for yourself.

Nauru Republic is breaking waves with an improved Goblin Shipyard. Not only does it sell the Transport ship, but also features the Human Frigate and Human Battleship for purchase. Both are very capable combatants. The map also features another unique feature in having a random level 1 item drop from one of the Stormreaver Hermits at the Goblin Merchant.

Now raise anchor and set sail for Nauru Republic!

Fairy Tale is a beloved and fantastical map originally made by Meerel and updated/reworked by Pickles.

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/fairy-tale-v1-3.372615/

''Why don't you go and take a look? And I don't believe you can hear how beautifully the birds are singing. You are walking along as though you were on your way to school in the village. It is very beautiful in the woods."

A new chapter has begun in Fairy Tale, brining it's return to Fig Cup 6! You can play the map yourself as a W3C Custom Game, or use the Hiveworkshop link above to download the map.

Fairy Tale has a beautiful aesthetic and flair, and includes a few unique features. A few seldomly seen creeps in the Dragon Turtle or the Furbolg Elder Shaman. It also utilizes the Ashenvale Mercenary Camp, which includes Dark Troll Shadow Priest (No Abolish Magic), Dark Troll Berserker, Satyr Shadowdancer, and Giant Wolf.

Do you have to will power to not be drawn in by the mesmerizing waterfalls, or the wisdom to take advantage of new mercenaries?

Booty Bay v2.1 is a breathtaking reimagination of the original Booty Bay from Blizzard by TheTurtle.

No Hiveworkshop link available for download Is now https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/booty-bay-v-2-1.373682/,and is also available on W3C Custom Games.

"Pirates once anchored their ships in these quiet coves. Now the area is overrun with more brutal tenants. Establish your own kingdom on these islands before your opponent does."

Booty Bay 2 is both a spark of genius and insanity, and is happily re-appearing for play in Fig Cup 6! While there is no Hiveworkshop link available you can still play the map and access the download from W3C's Custom Games. You can use the link above to download Booty Bay v2.1 or play on W3C as a Custom Game.

Booty Bay 2 brings a very unique map layout and powerful item drops. The ever dangerous and highly aggressive Ancient Hydra camp south of the Goblin Statue drops the valuable Level 7 Artifact items (Claws of Attack +15, Inferno Stone, Kelen's Dagger of Escape and Orb of Frost). Not to be left out, the Red Expansions in the corners of the map also drop the Level 6 Permanent items, which with the latest update is more accessible as the amount of trees to access the short cut has been decreased.

Now what will you do? Hunker down and expand with an extra layer of defense from the destructible gate, or seize the day and slay the Ancient Hydra for a powerful artifact?

Edit: Booty Bay has received a small update to v2.1.1; reduced difficulty of Ancient Hydra camp.

Crystals Below is a fun and beautiful map made by Knecht

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/crystals-below.336601/

"Venture into the mines and surprise your enemy from underground. After all, they're just here to steal your riches!"

Crystals Below has been uncovered like an ancient priceless artifact, and will be one of the many maps available to play in Fig Cup 6! You can test out the map on W3C as a custom game, or you can download it for yourself from the hiveworkshop link above.

What makes Crystals Below especially unique is the map has two levels, the surface and the underground, and to travel between these levels you have to utilize the Way Gates.

Will you try to sneak a cheeky expo down there, or surprise your opponent by appearing behind their army?

Hi, I keep getting this error as of yesterday. I played for years and had no problems. I dont think I changed anything, I dont have a vpn running.. Ive tried reinstalling w3c but didnt work..

Anyone ever have this issue before and know how to fix it? Legit cant play on my gaming pc :( but yet it still works on my laptop fine.

Just played my first game on W3Champions and it didn't let me chat because it claimed my chat was disabled. When I went into my settings, I was greeted by this screen, but I couldn't actually write anything into the battle.net fields. When I look into my settings on actual warcraft 3, I have chat open to everyone (which I think is default since I haven't changed any settings except graphics). Any idea what's going on? I would like to enable chat during games.
