Warcraft 3 preview anyone? Head over to Loadedinc and find one there. Here's a bit for you:
A plus point is the ability for the player to make a come-back into a game after taking a pounding. There are two opinions on this. Either a game can drag on and on as peons are run round a map pumping up bases to keep alive, or it gives the less skilled player the chance to fight back with their new base going hopefully unnoticed. In two recent games I have won by simply boring my opponent into submission by pumping up bases before the base he is attacking has been destroyed. This can work against players that don’t expand early and find their funds running low. The question is though, does this make it a fun game. I guess that’s down to if you are winning or losing.
Unit control is becoming easier the more I play, at first it was a bit of a struggle clicking icons, trying to select my Heroes and generally keeping on top of things in battle. Warcraft III has hotkeys for just about everything but I’m still to get my head round what key works with which unit. The unit control is not the simplest and it’s not helped at the moment by unresponsive grouping and unit selecting. Once things are ironed out in this department and you’ve put the hours in things should be a lot easier.
