The ring of waypoints you move a peasant onto to issue an auto-attack to your entire army. And then the AI/pathfinding getting bogged down if you issue more than like, 50 commands.

Really the genre peaked at zErGlInG bL00d. Prav posted:maybe there'll be a Classic plot and a Reforged plot Finally we'll get what we deserve: Earth 616 Sylvanas and Ultimate Sylvanas. But I would like to back up to the end of Beyond the Dark Portal, which strongly implies that Khadgar and friends have to chase Ner'Zhul across multiple dimensions. Instead Kil'Jaeden curses him to become the most convoluted of all Warcraft characters.

Something I've been wondering. The AI cheats with resource gains, but does it pretend that workers have an effect on income? Like if you harass and kill workers in a campaign mission, will the AI reduce its attacks for a bit?

From what I remember the campaign AI cheats with resources by having its workers carry far more gold per trip than the human player (I think x10). So while you can technically run them out of gold you have to basically shut down their economy so completely that you would have won by force at that point anyway.

I know one of the strategies for offensively winning the RoC final was just sniping acolytes til the undead ran out of resources.

I was watching someone play the Sylvanas mission where everyone starts off asleep and they killed all the acolytes and necropoli but the undead base still sent a few attacks. Weak and infrequent but they still came.

It was less they ran out of resources and more that they scrapped their old base every time they captured a new one. So if you let them take the human settlement and then blitzed down the workers and necropolis there the enemy couldn't actually build anything to attack you with.

Sorry I am not at a desktop right now and I forgot where the link is, but they stated that they are going to redue some voices and redo some easter egg/click on a unit a whole bunch ans get a funny quote lines, since some of their references are relatively old and some players may not get it. They mentioned that stuff like “Me not that kinda orc” is going to stay.

I don't like cheesing Twilight of the Gods. Or, at the very least, if you're going to you should type the cheat to finish the mission after you succeed because IIRC the game doesn't detect that you cheesed it and you end up sitting around doing nothing for 45 minutes.

Wiki states that generic heroes will have random/variant models, like a female Demon Hunter. I wonder if Blizzard will realize the amount of money they can make offering Army/Hero customization like SCII, but on a greater scale of personalization.

Does the CL seem a little weak to anyone else or is it just me? He's ok as a third rounding out your nuke in a tri-hero situation but he seems disproportionately meh in the early game. Beetles in particular are disappointing. His model is also huge and gets stuck on everything

General Battuta posted:Pretty fuckin weird that the Orcish Horde had like two orc units (grunt and peon?) tho. It's actually considerably worse for humans, all they got are Pally, Archmage, peasant/militia, footman, and knight. edit: It'd be cool if they reverted to the vanilla War3 names. Basically all the TFT name changes (catapult -> demolisher, wyvern rider -> wind rider, gyrocopter -> flying machine, steam tank -> siege engine) were bad. They must've just been in a bad naming funk at the time because they also planned to call the tavern the cantina until enough people complained on the beta message boards. edit2: lol there's still some ancient crusty official page that says Cantina: http://classic.battle.net/war3/neutral/heroes.shtml Cicero fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Nov 15, 2018 |

The oil tanker, transport and catapult are all technically orc designs/crews even if they don't show up in model. But yeah, a big point of warcraft 2 was both factions turning into big huge alliances of dudes instead.
