The only balance change will be to nerf towers specifically to spite the highperch crew.

In WoW they're referred to pretty interchangably as wyverns and wind riders.

Oh wait, Wyvern -> Wind Rider, they wanted the focus on the Orc and not his mount.

The actual mount is referred to as a Wind Rider in WoW.

It's also referred to as a Wyvern interchangably.

This threw me for a loop because I thought I was looking at a literal cartoon and waiting for the gag, while admiring how close to the original it was. The gag is that it's not a gag.

It's based off the Carbot series called Starcrafts.

LotV was legitimately a really fun sci fi b-movie story... until the epilogue.

Also all of Alarak's lines were gold.

Given that there are a great many MMOs where this isn't the case, not necessarily.

I will say that WC3/TFT does one genuinely impressive thing with the writing: It's a story where the bad guy wins in the end.

this is of course undercut by World of Warcraft

It didn't include an entire new resource system, but Supreme Commander did a fine job of balancing naval units that weren't available on all maps.

Supreme Commander is the gold standard for naval combat integration in an RTS.

Red Alert 3 had the naval basebuilding gold standard, mind.

Supreme Commander is the gold standard for a great many things in RTS.

Its naval combat does deserve special mention though, watching one of those gigantic battleships firing is a thing of beauty.

I'd even say that the stories of WoL and LotV (except the epilogue) are dumb fun space opera b-movies.

Is there a list anywhere of levels that are updated in the Reforged version to more accurate maps? I want to play through the game again and I want to see the changed maps, but I also don't want to use the new graphics except when necessary for that content.

I know The Culling is, the Quel'thalas missions are, and that Necromancer Kel'thuzad has a new boss. Does the invasion of Dalaran in the Undead campaign get revamped? Is there anything else?

Take note that the campaigns in Classic Graphics and Reforged Graphics are treated as separate campaigns by the game in terms of progress and inventory bank data and stuff like that.

No switching back and forth? Well that sucks.

Maybe I'll do RoC with reforged and TFT in classic mode then.
