Ice Trolls: Warcraft 3 Custom Faction/Altered Melee Showcase

To speed up the pace of the showcase cheat codes are used and there are 2 gross unit upgrade icons that depict a impaled eyeball (the image is digital of course unlike the real arm wound of the famous "more dots" Onyxia video). The Ice Trolls are a faction with a mix of cold temperature and voodoo themes. The Ice Trolls are a interesting custom melee faction, able to leach the power of the Loa to increase the damage of units by 50% at the cost of a quarter of the units health. They also start off with a warrior unit called the "Dissenter" which has different effects than most units when the power of Loa is used on it (I didn't show what happens to the dissenter when this happens in the video, but it dies after a period of time). Their unit procurement is also different, able to instantly procure most units instantly through Training Charges, the Dissenter also trains very fast but it's not instant procurement like with the Training charges, the Shaper procurement speed seems average.

Units Include: Shaper (not to be confused with the Shapers from the Geneforge indie game series), Axefighter (A basic warrior, can be upgraded to throw axes that ignore half of armor), Spearthrower (another basic fighter, has longer range and slows down units movement and attack speed by 10% which stacks with other Spearthrowers), Onager (a siege unit), Snowstrider (polar bear mounted ice troll warrior), Skymourner (a flying mounted bat unit, can reveal invisible units), Mammoth Handler (siege unit with a mounted frost mage), Abjurer (Support spellcaster), Medicene Mon (a mage unit, the name Sounds Jamaican), Frostwarder (a flying ice elemental mounted by a support spellcaster), and High Champion (A elite warrior unit).

Heroes Include: Boreal Hunter (has abilities that make them miss their own attacks, a ranged damage reflecting aura, and can disable enemy buildings), Axemaster (has abilities that focus on damaging enemy units), Profaner (has a area attack spell that damages organic unit, can increase a units attack rate at a health cost to said unit, can use it's HP to increase the effects of it's spells, passively increase it's attack damage, and can summon a snake, mammoth, and rhino units with a shared HP pool), God-Hulk (specializes in tanking a lot of damage and can stick around for awhile with abilities that increases it's healing factor).
