First released in 2008, This Wreckage is a massive singleplayer action-adventure RPG map for Warcraft III: the Frozen Throne. Version Gamma is compatible only with version 1.24+ of Warcraft III, due to additional engine features added to the game in that version.

WARNING: there may be some issues with This Wreckage in the new patches (1.27 and above). I am looking into making the necessary fixes, but in the mean time, if you’d like to downgrade to 1.26 for the authentic experience, this thread on the Hive Workshop has links and details!
