A revolutionary map in Warcraft III

Oct 22, 2009 11:32 GMT  ·  By

The Mazing Race is a racing puzzle-map that combines the creative mazing of a Tower Defense with that of a competitive puzzle. This is a new type of map for Warcraft III and it will require lots of quick thinking, a smart resource management, and, above all, good mazing strategies.

Mazing

Build a maze allowing passage from the ruin circle to the power circle using a combination of elements of course augmenters. The maze has to be built to keep your Maze Runner from reaching the Power Circle, before the required time has passed. You have an unlimited supply of Standard Maze Elements. You must also be careful not to block your Runner. If you do so, the Runner will die!

Maze Running

Once you think your maze is ready, you can summon the Maze Runner by pressing the “X” key from your keyboard. He will now travel through the maze, marking the time as it passes. Be careful, because you must not allow your Runner to be killed! If you want to stop the run, you can do that at any time by pressing the “Esc” key.

Lumber

Lumber will allow you to build special structures. You will be able to earn extra lumber by exceeding the required time in each maze area. Every second above the required time will get you one extra piece of lumber that you can use in your next area via the maze builder.

If your Runner happens to perish, you can add extra elements to your maze and summon it again, but you will have to keep in mind that this is a race, and the one who finishes all five stages first will be declared the winner! The game will continue after the first person wins, allowing others to continue playing.

One great thing about this map is that you can't see what the other players are doing due to the fog of war. Only when you complete all the stages (or you quit), will you be able to view the entire map!
