WEU and WE

[hodge]

Whats the difference?
what are the perks of using WEU?
just wanted to know...

WEU lets you use more complex triggers without knowing the proper jass code. This is the main thing i use it for. There are other features but i can't think of them now.

You can also use more tiles in the map, and make the map bigger, use more doodads, and some other stuff I can't remember.

I think this thread could help a lot of people if
someone could actually write the pros and cons of WEU
and WE... it would be of great help to people who are
new to map editting...

Its simple:

1)
-WE has everything you need, but You will need to know something bout JASS or have Advanced skills if you want to use a certain trigger

-Weu allows you to use that trigger, without JASS or advanced skills , In WEU They are called advanced triggers

2)
-WE has a limited number of Tiles
-WEU can have upto 16 different Tiles in one map

3)
-WEU is easier to add big or small things, Like huge trees are one click away
-In WE you need to change the max or minimum scale of tree to change this.

And thats all I can think about

Being 3rd party is one of the big cons about it. It modifies the map to change it to be compatible with its style. This means that there is the possibility that if Blizzard updates War3 via a patch, you and your map potentially could be dead in the water until they make a WEU patch to fix it.

Personally I haven't really encountered any features in it that compelled me to switch to it.

thx sooooo much, ive looked at a website and saw wat it features and i cant believe it features more advanced spells, triggers, a hero selection system, hero glow pack, etc, wow! but my internet is little slow. when i tried to download it, it said 300 bytes a sec. also said would take an hour and 15 min to download it.

That's another downside.
