Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (2002)
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos is a 2002 real time strategy (rts) video game made by Blizzard Entertainment and Sierra Entertainment.
Four peoples share one collapsing continent: the Humans of Lordaeron, the invading Orcs, the ancient Night Elves, and the spreading Undead. Warcraft III hands you their armies in turn across a story-driven campaign, each faction fielding its own units and hero characters who level up, learn spells, and carry the fight. Blizzard mixes base-building and resource-gathering with small squads of named champions, so battles turn on positioning as much as numbers. Beyond the campaign sit online skirmishes, custom maps, and a full editor. The tone runs from grim war council to high fantasy spectacle.
