Castle Fight
What is Castle Fight?
It's a Warcraft III: Frozen Throne map being rebuilt from the ground up to mimic the same gameplay and style as the original.
In Castle Fight each player has a builder that you control. You can build unit producing buildings, some special buildings that offer unique abilities, perhaps a tower, etc.
The general idea of Castle Fight is to demolish your enemy team's Command Center, just as they are trying to destroy yours. This is almost entirely accomplished by building the right buildings which produce the right units, with some good support specials (and hopefully a legendary building!)
Castle Fight is not a game you can solo, or even effectively do staggered match ups (such as 3v5, or 2v4). It's a team oriented game; teamwork and communication is important. This game can only be played with an even number of players on each team!
Notes on the Starcraft II remake
My goal with this project is to rebuild the original Castle Fight entirely in its original form. There are some compromises that will need to be made along the way in order to fit into the Starcraft universe unfortunately.
Some of the changes to this version are as follows (this list will change as changes are made):
- Humans renamed to Terrans
- Commands will occur with a vote menu instead of typed commands
- Persistent records will be stored for all players for ranking purposes
What can I do to help?
If you would like to assist in the conversion it would be most helpful for someone to play the original Castle Fight and record all of the unit stats (health, damage, armor type, etc.), tooltips for any buttons, and any other things that need to be converted. Anyone who greatly assists in this endeavor I'd be happy to credit in the map records.
Is the game live for me to play right now?
Not currently. The project is still young and before I publish I intend to have at least two working races for players to choose from.
What's the current progress on the map?

Looks Nice, Does this game use custom models? or sc2 models?
