strategy game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne,
based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The objective of the scenario is for each team
to destroy the opponents' Ancients, heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map.
Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled
fighters called creeps. As in role-playing games, players level up their heroes and use gold to
buy equipment during the mission.
