While campaign games can have many different objectives, the sole objective in melee games is to destroy all the opposition buildings.

The first two are required to construct units and buildings, while food restricts the maximum number of units the player may control at one time. There are three main resources that are managed in Warcraft III: gold, lumber, and food. During a game, players must establish settlements to gain resources, defend against other players, and train units to explore the map and attack enemies (computer controlled foes). Though terrain remains visible, changes such as enemy troop movements and building construction are unseen. Areas that have been explored but no longer are within sight range of an allied unit or building are covered with the fog of war. The Black Mask, once gone, is permanently removed. In Campaign mode, the map is initially covered with the Black Mask, a dark layer which obscures the landscape beneath until it is explored. The events played out in Warcraft III eventually set the stage for Blizzard’s first MMORPG, World of Warcraft, and its subsequent expansions A game of Warcraft III takes place on a map of varying size, such as large plains and fields, with terrain features like rivers, mountains, seas, or cliffs. Due to the dual storylines of the previous Warcraft games, the story can only be understood if using the proper storylines of one of the campaigns in the previous games, being the Orc Campaign on Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and the Human Campaigns on both the Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal.

Multiplayer mode allows for play against other people, via the internet, instead of playing against computer-controlled characters as is done in the single-player custom game mode.

In the expansion there are two additional races: the Draenei, a race of eredar who are cursed to be abominations, and the Naga, a race of vile serpents and other creatures that come from the depths of the sea. Warcraft III’s single-player campaign is laid out similarly to that of StarCraft (another Blizzard game), being told through all four of the game’s races in a progressive manner. Warcraft III contains four playable races: Humans and Orcs, which had previously appeared in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans and Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, and the Night Elves and Undead, which are new to the Warcraft mythos.
