    Or you know, maybe I'm not the kind of person who would play Warcraft 3 with it's dumbed down small armies around a few hero units?

    (not that I'm worried as I do own WC3/TFT, and I tried oh so hard to like them but I just couldn't stand the stupid hero reliant system).

    Quite frankly, at the beginning I thought the hero idea was quite good at the time....but now, it's all just "OMG I GOT TEH WRONG HERO I LOSE! F10 F10!!"

    I hate the Hero reliant system...it's just too....linear <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    But of course, we don't see Starcraft having those right? The Project Revolution team will make the gameplay just like as it was in Starcraft. Sure you might have Hero icons....but they aren't exactly Heroes now are they?

    Besides, I bet that they're irreplacable, or untrainable in MP, which should be rather good <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    How they're gonna get BNet support? I have NO idea. They could try alternatives but meh, who knows.

    It would be kinda cool if they had heros, but like, generic ones, like unit commanders or something, y'know? 5 per side, slightly boosted stats and more HP then the regular ones.
  • RaVeRaVe Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17538Members
    Like in the original Starcraft?

    Well, yeah. The Zerg had a beast of an Ultralisk back then....I forgot the name, but it sure was a beast....pretty hard to take down even with 5 siege tanks.

    Unfortunately, that'll screw over the balance in multiplayer, if you get what I mean.

    Frankly, they're just porting Starcraft to Warcraft 3. Psuedo-Starcraft 2 if you may.

    And frankly, I will like it that way for some reason. Maybe it's just the customizable resolutions you can run it on. Starcraft has an evil, hardcoded resolution of 640x480 <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ultralisk = 1.0x Onos.
  • kidakida Join Date: 2003-02-20 Member: 13778Members
    ya the ultralisk looks scary whereas the onos looks like a sesame street pinup doll of a cow or bull.

    Definetly a great game - I keep demolishing my friends at it - but when it comes to atmosphere and art direction, Star Craft single-handedly upends W40k. Just compare Eldar and Protoss. And yes, I'm aware that the Space Marines were a heavy source of inspiration for the terran infantry. So what? Sometimes, the rip-off is actually better than the original.

    Starcraft does indeed pwn the pants off of WH:40k, for one reason. A Terran marine is so kickass compared to a stupid Space Marine and their false emperor.

    Dawn of War would be great if they actually covered half the units the armies have.


    They don't, so I'm sticking with SC. Just about to install my new WC3 and TFT... I hope its not as hero reliant as you folks make out... just makes it rather dull..
  • RaVeRaVe Join Date: 2003-06-20 Member: 17538Members
    Well, let's put it this way Necrosis....

    If you have a melee army for the Undead, you NEED the Death Knight (extra speed boost to units around him and acts as a healer as well)
    And you also need a Lich to slow down the opponent's heroes (Frost Nove + Death Coil == doom)
    And you need a Dreadlord to add blood-sucking (ok hp leeching =\) to your melee units.

    But only a fool would go full melee with Undead anyway.

    The only thing I hate are games on BNet where a player quits when their heroes die....because far too many strategies rely on heroes and whatnot.

    Granted, it is possible to make a counter-hero army.....but you need heroes too in that army.

    Basically, you rely on the hero to do all the killing the big kahunas. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    OMG come on. Just because you can't micro, doesn't mean you have to take it out on the game... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    So you need certain hero's for certain situations. If you micromanage your battles and have good tactical sense you will be fine.

    I've seen plenty of good players have only one hero, of their own preference, because they end the game on their terms.

    Eh? What do you mean by that Cold Nite? I can micro and macro just fine.

    In fact my friends ph34r meh!

    In all seriousness, yes I can scare my friends back into their bases because I was their best player.....until we all got bored of WC and stopped playing.

    But still, they're afraid of me beating them into the ground in Warcraft 3, or Starcraft for that matter <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, this mod looks awesome. I heard about it quite some time ago, but then I forgot about it. I stumbled across it again a couple of months ago. It can't come soon enough.

    Which would increase developement time, balance would be harder to achieve, and given the fact that DoW isn't an exact replica of the table top, some units would be excess to requirements.
  • NecrosisNecrosis The Loquacious Sage Join Date: 2003-08-03 Member: 18828Members, Constellation
    The Eldar army has been castrated. Not streamlined, castrated. Personally I'd have went for a more overt Craftworld Army than actually try to pretend to put in all the Aspects.

    But then, I have a bit of wit.






    On the WC3 note....... just played a few battles, its like the worst parts of 2nd Ed 40k meet 2-3rd Ed Fantasy. Its just "surround hero with cheap damage soaks, charge towards enemy". Bloody hell.

    It is looking very good, I'm gonna have to Modwatch it on ModDB.

    Could have been put more eloquently, but pretty much true. Straight and to the point. IIRC, the mod requires WC3+FT and SC+BR. That's about four games, and if you have Starcraft and Brood War, there really isn't much reason to play the War3 game.

    Because SC:Ghost makes baby Onos cry.

    Actually, I just want it because it's Starcraft taking advantage of new technology while keeping the gameplay the same. We don't see SC2 coming out soon....so why not play this while we are waiting? (Waiting for VERY long I might say....)
