You wouldn't have believed that this day goes without the mandatory Warcraft 3 preview, would you? So it might not surprise you that GameZilla has done one :-). Snippet serverd here:
The biggest and best addition to the Warcraft franchise is the inclusion of a strong adventure element to the game. Instead of building up faceless, nameless legions of troops and sending them off to batter at the other guy, you get to enhance your armies with the construction of heroes. Each race has three to choose from, and over time you can create all three. Each of the heroes has a unique style of fighting that enhances specific types of attacks. For instance, some are good at absorbing damage and wading through battle in hand-to hand combat, while others are better at distance attacks or aerial assaults. On top of that each hero collects experience points when they or their troops are involved in battle. As they go up in levels they earn the chance to learn spells. Typically the heroes are given three to choose from with each spell having levels that can be increased. For example, one of my favorite heroes right now is the Tauren Chieftain of the Orc camp. His spells allow him to heal himself and those around him at differing rates depending on the level of that spell. Additionally, he can learn to reincarnate himself automatically or to cast a building unit damage spell that shoots through troops in a wave of damage. |
