1. Obtain WC3 1.27 – You need a legitimate CD key (original or from Battle.net classic download). Reforged can be downgraded using CASC Viewer + 1.27 executable, but a separate install is safer.
2. Installation path – Place .w3x / .w3m files in:

   Documents\Warcraft III\Maps\Downloads\
   

   (or the Maps\ folder if using an old installation)
3. Recommended launcher: Use Warcraft III.exe (not Frozen Throne.exe) for 1.27.
4. Local network / LAN play – Works perfectly. For online, use GameRanger (supports 1.27) or Eurobattle.net (requires their launcher).
