From TeeWiki

War3 is a mod created by rajh which copies several aspects of the Wacraft 3 game by Blizzard. 1.0 was released on the 4th of February 2009, followed by 1.1 that same day. This update addressed several bugs and added an extra command.
The current version is 2.0 which was released on the 24th of February 2009.

Classes

The mod uses five classes, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. As your tee levels he gains points for each level. These points will then upgraded his abilities. Each class has two normal abilities and one special ability.

Humans

Higher base armor.
Mole chance: chance to respawn in your enemies base.
Special ability: teleport at the place where you aim at.

Orcs

Higher base damage.
Higher base attack speed.
Special ability: teleport to the flag carrier or your own base.

Elves

Poison your enemies: slowly decrease their health, possibly till death.
Mirror damage: taking damage at close range will reflect back against the attacker.
Special ability: immobilize your enemies.

Undeads

Vampiric damage: damaging other tees will heal your own tee.
Taser: hook will damage enemies.
Special ability: you can kamikaze with an explosion which causes very much damage in a large range.

Tauren

Taurens are the healing class in the War3 mod which came with War3 mod 2.0. They cannot shoot with the grenade launcher, as it heals 3 health per second. One needs to aim at the target. The range will increase with the level. Tauren can use the rifle for a chain heal. It heals the target for a certain amount of health and jumps further to a nearby friendly tee.

Heal over time: shooting friendly targets with the pistol will restore 1 to 5 health and armor per second.
Resurrection: chance to resurrect with 5hp at the place where one died.
Special ability: reflecting shield - reflects all damage done to the damage dealer for 3 seconds. (60 seconds cooldown)

Skins

There are some new skins of the different races created by Landil. The skins are supposed to be saved in the skins folder, because they are used for each class. If they are not in the skins folder, the tees will get the "default" skin. There is an alternative skin pack, too, which uses has a more humanoid tee style.

The five classes of war3
The humans skin with a shiny armor.	The orcs skin with a green skin.	The elves skin with pointy ears.
The undead skin with bony body.	The tauren skin with two horns.	The tauren skin when using his special ability.

Sound

A special sound for leveling up was added too. Just replace two files in audio directory (.../data/audio). The old files are not used in the original Teeworlds but maybe a backup would be useful for further releases.
