War3.com has put up a preview of Warcraft 3 - Reign of Caos. Here's an excerpt:
I chatted with Bill Roper for a bit, wish I could have recorded it somehow. Oh well, it was a casual chat, so no worries. I talked with him about what you can do with the editor (as they did not have that up for trial). He went on about resizing units, tinting them, making them transparent, all sorts. He also said you could make you own in game cinematics for campaign-like missions. I asked if you could do something like when your footmen get X number of kills, if they could level up. He said sure; if you notice in one level there is a counter for how many footmen you’ve built (as that’s a task needed to pass a level.) He says this can be applied to units, and you could set it (with the world editor) to have a footmen with X number of kills become the cool, stronger, footmen with the winged helmet, and gold trim. Heh heh, I also asked him what they do with the gigantic posters, he says they cut them up and put them around the office. Then someguy wanted to do a legitimate press thing with him. And when I say that, I mean an interview. |
