Main varieties of maps of WarCraft

Melee

Map of standard type, which has preserved the rules Warcraft 3. The main occupation here is left arrangement of a base, create an army and a war with the forces of the opponent.
Typically, the balance on these cards remains intact, but there are exceptions. Can appear new troops, buildings or even whole races. Naturally, such features are mentioned in the description of the map.
Most of the standard cards (except those that are in the subfolder Scenario is melee-categories.

Hero Defence (AoS)

At the moment it is one of the most popular game modes. First of all, thanks to Amateur map Defence of the Ancients also known as DotA Allstars, which became the pioneer in this genre. For some it was the reason to buy Warcraft 3. I think no more comments about her success to give is not worth it.
The rules are simple. There are two (rarely three or more) base, connected by several paths. With each base on each track are sent periodically unmanaged groups of monsters. The forces of the warring parties, usually equal. To tip the superiority of its scales are called heroes (usually the choice is made from several pre-prepared by the author hero cards, radically different in features and purpose), which control the players. Each player is subject to only one character, allowing you to concentrate fully on his role on the team. Fallen hero after some time revived. In the end, the team needs forces troops and heroes to destroy the enemy base.
 The most frequent changes in the rules – the ability to choose where to build additional factories for the production of unguided forces. Sometimes you can almost from scratch to create a character (though almost always have templates), sometimes allowed to drive with the hero's personal army. 
There are interesting hybrids. For example, a map Emblem of Destiny or Emblem Wars (\
1 2008) is a full — fledged scenario-based Hero Defence. Only one team needs to resist the superior forces of the enemy, a computer controlled. Heroes on the enemy side not, except for those that appear after any of the events and after the death of fading into oblivion. But Battleships Crossfire (\
1 2008) and Battle Tanks (\
1 2008) in addition to allow the war to deal with the heroes more peaceful activities: trade, quests or anything else. In addition, there at any point in the game you can change the "hero" – if only there was enough money. This is because the role of warriors there to perform the vehicle, and nothing prevents to change the captain from one to another.
 His second name – abbreviation AoS – a kind of Hero Defence is obliged Aeon of Strife map, map for Starcraft. As it turned out, these rules originated long before the "Dots", and then were transferred into the world of "war craft".

Castle Defence

The main goal here is to protect (and sometimes to capture the castle. And here is how to do card category little similar. There may be a confrontation between the two castles and siege, in which the players are divided into two teams, or fighting off hordes of monsters. Fighting usually heroes like Hero in Defence or armies in Melee. Can CD card to receive the elements of role-playing games, like side quests, dramatically simplifying the life, and other add-ons that distinguish one work from the sea of others.

Tower Defence

The essence of this mode is that it is necessary to protect some land from hordes of hostile monsters (or just to prevent them from breeding). Often they attack waves (sort of levels), or continuous flow. The defense is carried out with the help of various towers. Any qualitative map the player is given a completely different set of protective structures: some wiring, other poison, others freeze, and those that are higher up hurting my head. Often also permitted the improvement of the towers, rarely available entire development tree.
TD are a command, or "survival" when players try to survive in the game longer than anybody else.

Tower Wars (Maul)

"Vyjimatelnych" Tower Defence with a much bigger emphasis on opposition players. In this case, the rules remain the same: build yourself a tower, Yes watch the lost creatures. Only with this and will have to send monsters to the neighbor who erects a tower somewhere. Thus, the objective changes slightly: now it is necessary not only to protect themselves from the onslaught of vile animals, but also to crush other players with their animals.

Hero Arena

Here is no wisdom there is no indication on the maps Hero Arena type held of battle of heroes with each other, in teams or alone. Gaining enough strength fighting monsters, you can attack the enemy and, if you will, the skill and luck to win, thereby earning one or more points. Often slaughter diluted "events": small competitions in the style of "capture the flag" or something like that.

RPG

Cards with a clear bias towards role-playing game. Of course, wagering and branching dialogues from such creations should not be expected – still Warcraft 3 originally it was not designed. However, action on behalf of one hero, the growth in the level (almost always strap the maximum level is increased relative to the original game), big world and many tasks remain. These cards are often single player, but multiplayer works with the need for team work is also very sought after. And let in terms of features, these maps are far behind the "big" fun strategy, but playing them is still interesting (of course, if it's not dull, glued on the knee hack). 
The most accessible example of role-playing cards – campaign for the Horde in Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne.

Mini-games

On such maps the features of the engine and editor of Warcraft 3 are used on all cylinders. Worth a play around with scripts and here before us is a multiplayer strategy action, puzzle maze or a collection of simple toys in the style of "press time". Sometimes some of them are real masterpieces!

Scenarios

Plot maps without any restrictions in terms of gameplay. This will typically include work from the category of role-playing or melee, but the scenario can equally well be any other card.
