Warcraft III FT box

More time wasted. Wonderful!

This game rocks. The original Warcraft III game was pretty good and the expansion addresses a lot of the minor issues in the first game, makes it easier for newbies to get into the game, and generally improved the graphics and details of the game. My favorite new things:

  • New units, specifically Destroyers/Statues and Mountain Giants.
  • The Warden hero
  • Creep indicators (coded for the strength of the creep) on the map. Great for new maps.
  • Lowered cost for units

There are a bunch of upgrades as well that are really nice, too. Makes teamwork more important, and also makes it even more important to build fast. The graphics are awesome, but they’re still choppy on my 1Ghz PowerBook during large battles. I’m curious to see what it looks like on a G5. Hopefully, I’ll get to find out :) soon.
