Patchwerk Prototype is a hobby Warcraft 3 Mod I started working on in July 2019. Hopefully, this project will precede and serve as a prototype for a more polished mod for the the soon to be released Warcraft 3 Remastered.

Tools Credits

I don’t reinvent the wheel if I don’t need to. If I run into a problem that I think probably has some solution online already, I just go find that solution. Here’s a list of the tools I used to help me develop this project

• WCIII Armor-Damage Reduction Calculator by 13Stallion
  • Say you want an ability to reduce the damage a hero takes by some percent. Warcraft 3 doesn’t give you access to these straightforward percentages, you need to have the ability give some boost in the hero’s armor. To calculate how much armor should be given to provide a certain level of damage reduction, I used this tool.
