Fire Emblem Tribute: A custom map for Warcraft III: Frozen Throne

Fire Emblem has provided such a powerful mix of storyline & gameplay to the gaming community. There was so much motivation from the series going into this Warcraft III map it was a thrill to spend the 4 months in development.

By the way, if you are unsure & interested in playing this game you will need three things: 1) Warcraft III & Warcraft III expansion. 2) An internet connection, which I'd hope you have if you are reading this! 3) The latest official Fire Emblem Tribute map can be downloaded at it's official website: fireemblemtribute.com.

What started out as a terraining/cinematic project has turned into an open playing field with your favorite Fire Emblem characters.

Map Description: The Continent of Tellius brews with war, once again. General Petrine and the Black Knight of Daein have made an alliance with the country of Begnion, and taken over nearly all of Tellius. It is up to the Greil Mercenaries to stop Daein's rule.

Cities & Forces

Begnion:

Begnion has grown very strong over the recent years with their alliance with Crimea. But now the senators of Begnion have chosen to form an alliance with Daein in search of power. The citizens are left confused & scared.

Daein:

Daein has vast numbers of loyal combatants seeking glory & riches. Headed by King Ashnard & the Black Knight, they are the strongest force in all of Tellius.

Gallia:

Gallia is the only force fighting for freedom that still has vast power left. The gallians are beast-like creatures known as Laguz. There are different kinds of laguz as well: Bird/Hawk Laguz, beast laguz, and rarely seen only in royalty are Lion laguz. Laguz leadership is determined only by one's own physical strength.

Crimea:

The Crimeans are lead by Queen Elincia, who was saved just a short while ago by the Greil Mercenaries. Her country has been struggling after a devastating unannounced invasion lead by Daein. They have begun reconstruction, but if Elincia chooses not to assert herself & her country with the Begnion senators, then Crimea could fall once again.

Greil Mercenaries:

Now led by Ike, the Greil Mercenaries accept Queen Elincia's plee for help. They set out, few in number to bring freedom & break the oppression for all of Tellius.
