A variety of maps and game mods exist and since no one likes to lose, some have developed various types of cheats to help them. There are countless strategies to use in order to defeat enemy forces and it's one of the reasons for which Warcraft III is still being played even though it has such a large number of years since its release. The latter can be done over a local area network or the Internet against other people from all around the world. Warcraft III is a real-time strategy game that provides multiple factions which can be played in both single-player and multiplayer modes.
