This map has it all!
- [Great Classes]
Classes in this map are just beautiful, they got unique and amazing spells and combo skills that almost never get old and have great replay-ability, those are not just casual random old spells re-branded as new but each and every spell is fresh and is thematic based on the class itself, creating in the process timeless and classic Characters that almost feel alive!
One other great aspect of this map and its heroes are the fact that every class can go different builds as well (by that i mean for example an agility class like Ranger can go an intelligence/spell power build (using int items) beside the classic agility/physical dmg build or even a hybrid build agi/int, the sky is the limit basically).
- [Marvelous Quests]
The quest system in this map is by far the best of all rpg maps i've played (and trust me i played a lot), the quests are very smooth, easy to understand and are actually important to the gameplay, a rpg map without a good quest system will fail miserably!
- [Beautiful map layout]
Once again is top quality, this is one of the only rpg maps that again feel real! you can actually feel like you entered a new and real world while playing this map, and not just casual boring square zones like other rpg maps (i'm looking at you Korean maps

)
Every Zone is unique with different terrain, quests, mini bosses, titans, etc.
- [Tons of cool and unique items]
The items are one of the most important things in any rpg map, and TBR yet again shines at this point by having one of the best set of items in the whole war3 custom maps community by far, The list of items is huge! giving the player the opportunity to search, explore and craft to create their own unique arsenal of items specific for their class and gameplay.
Not even one item is considered useless in this map and with lots of Cool Recipes and other unique items to be crafted or to be found, TBR takes good care of its items and puts them at the top priority!
- [Epic End-Game Bosses]
Now what would be a rpg map without having some big and epic bosses at the end of their journey, they would fill shallow without it!
TBR has without a doubt the coolest boss fights! Every Boss fight is unique and very engaging! Forcing the players to pay attention and focus or dodge when its necessary and to come up with strategies and different party builds to fight the bosses!
And of course the rewards are valuable as well, its not just kill the boss once and that's it, TBR makes fighting bosses a necessity for getting the highest gear available in the map and maxing out your character with some epic items, in this case those items being the Legendary Relics that would make your character feel like a demi-god! (You can have only one relic tho so once again the game forces the player to think and come up with the best build that fits his class and his play-style!)
- Other futures of the map:
- [PVP] Every rpg map needs a pvp system, now the pvp in TBR is still classic as in you don't actually get any reward for fighting other players, is just for fun, but it's still a great aspect nonetheless.
- [Proffesions] TBR is unique in the sense that it takes its professions very seriously, being a core system in the map that influences the game-play a lot by helping the player create various types of powerful items, potions and elixirs which are a must have, especially for the late game.
- [The save/load system] is one of the best, is very well done!
- [Soloing] The map can actually be played solo, as in starting the game alone and playing alone hosting the map in battlenet or in LocalAreaNetwork, The map can be played alone very well, doing the quests and killing alone any mini-boss, titan or end-game boss (except the last one, which cannot be soloed).
- [The community] TBR has a big and wonderful community of players from all over the world, so join the discord group to chat and just have fun if you enjoy the map!
