<h4>Chapter 135: Chapter 134: New version live!</h4>
Confused and shocked, the yers started looking at the patch notes.
New cinematic? Very cool, but it’s barely three minutes long, and after watching so many incredible cinematics, the yers were starting to desensitise to it.
New settings? Able to freely rebind keys? Ummm. seems useful, but this feature is too simple! It’s probably really simple to implement too!
Therefore the key content in this update must be the three maps!
Therefore the yers started trying to make sense of these maps.

Many yers have noticed World Editor when Warcraft justunched.
But many lost interest after taking a few looks. Although it wasn’tplicated, it was difficult to learn without any guidance. Moreover, as most yers focused on the story andbat of the game, very few tried to learn the World Editor.
This implementation was simr to that of nts vs Zombies, map sharing, rating and downloading all came with the game, allowing yers to make maps as they wish.
The yers would eventually discover the World Editor when they get bored of ying against one another, so Chen Mo aws only fastracking that process.
It didn’t take long before yers tried out the maps.
“Protect Athena? Why do we need to protect Athena?”
“Who knows, maybe defending isn’t that important? Wow, there are so many heroes to pick from!”
“I pick Demon Hunter!”
“I pick demaster!”
“Uhh, I seemed to have picked a healer.”
“Huh? Howe the abilities are different? My goodness, my demaster seems so strong. I have an Omnish and a crit. I can even put points into attributes?”
“So can my Demon Hunter!”
“There’s a shop too, there’s so many incredible items to buy from the shop!”
“The enemies are there! Quick, stop that opening!”
“I’ll kill them, you block them off!”
“We defended! Wow, there are so many attribute books on the ground, and a lot of money too! Pick it up!”
“I’m buying equipment!”
“I leveled up! Give me a second to see what I’ve learnt!”
“Hurry, the enemy are here again!”
—
“Tower defence? What’s the difference between this and the other Tower Defence games on the market?”
“Wow, we can y together. We have separatenes!”
“The towers can be leveled up! You can turn them into Heroes too!”
“Seems interesting!”
“Stop leaking! What! How did you leak three!”
“No, we have to break down where everyone is cing their towers. We need to manage the few key entrances.”
“You guys are terrible, you should put it like this...”
—
“Escape Pyramid? This sounds like an action adventure game!”
“... How could you include an action adventure game in my RTS? My VR pod is crying...”
“Take a look, it says there are many game modes inside.”
“Vote for mode? My goodness there are so many modes!”
“Let’s just pick one.”
“Dodge attack? Running? What, why is thereva and ice on the ground, I’m dead!”
“I’m still alive!”
“It’s just you now! Keep going!”
“My goodness you made it! Hahaha!”
“That’s incredible! Man this is actually quite fun... Let’s y something else.”
—
“Chenghai 3c? This is such an inconspicuous name, it really matches Chen Mo’s style.”
“Yeah, Chen Mo always does these weird names, seems like a bad habit of his...”
“Man, this game is so fun! You only need to control one hero! Mama doesn’t have to worry about my terrible skills anymore!”
“Man, they’ve even changed the heroes! My Hero is so strong! Even I’m afraid of him!”
“Mine too!”
“Fight me middle!”
“You think I’m scared? Hey,e back!”
“I can’t beat you now, stand there and wait for my backup!”

The yers soon realised that the maps were much more fun than expected.
There maps were different types of games. Although they had different styles, they had one thing inmon. In these maps, the yer only has to control one unit.
This makes the yers who find RTS difficult happy as it was more than they could handle. This put high and low skilled yers in the same ying field.
Moreover, multiyer matches in Warcraft were never as fun as 1v1 as it took away from strategies and techniques.
But with these four maps, friends could y with one another with no problems. Moreover, the skill gap was also reduced, the ones that were good could carry the game, but the ones that were worse wouldn’t drag down the team as much. This made multiyer games much more fun than Versus mode.
After their hands were free from micromanagement, the yers would be able to experience different content from the game, such as hero picks, teampositions, training, and itembinations. After building up a strong Hero, they would be able to cut through the creeps like paper, and might even be able to do the same to other yers, bringing a lot of enjoyment to yers.
In the campaign and versus mode of RTS, killing a single creep took a lot of effort. Every unit death could easilypound up as it RTS required yers to slowly build up an advantage. There was so way the yers could be this carefree in RTS mode.
But in RPG maps, the carefree feeling was brought out entirely. It didn’t take long before arge portion of yers to fall in love with these maps.
Warcraft ying an RPG map during their free time with their friends slowly became a trend.

There was also discussion on these four RPG maps on the forums.
“These four maps Chen Mo released are actually quite interesting. I’mpletely addicted, ying it every day. Anyone else with me?”
“PRevious poster +1”
“It really is like that. I thought these were just a few more maps during PvP, but I discovered twopletely different games when I looked deeper into it!”
“I’m actually ying action adventure games and tower defence games in an RTS game, and it’s really fun too... This doesn’t make sense!”
“The tower defence map trumps any other tower defence game on the market. Chen Mo actually made four new games for us!”
“I’m shocked. The game engine for Warcraft is amazing! These mapsbined were only around one megabyte, meaning that Warcraft supports content like this perfectly!”
“Buy one free four! This new update waspletely free! I’m off to sing praises of Chen Mo again!”
“I’m so happy I’m about to cry!”
“Did you guys notice there’s a tutorial in the World Editor?”
