I had a demo of it on my computer when I was young and played the shit out of it. I could only play the orcs and the first 3 missions of the orc campaign and whenever I played battlenet I just made cool units. (which was basically all the units for orcs)

>also when will Warcraft 4 be released and sre the rumors of a Warcraft MMORPG a la Everquest true

do you think you're in 2003 again friend?

>>15437307

Yes it's true I read it in GamePro

>>15437597

I feel depressed reading this

>>15437307

Pick humans, pick Archmage, pick Firelord as second hero, TOWER FUCKING EVERYTHING.

>>15437597

I felt bolstered reading this, it is indeed a good game koolkyle69.

Are you faggots looking forward to the release of Rome Total War?

>>15437414

What are you talking about dude. Its only been 2 years since 9/11

>>15438122

I thought it was 3 years, shit I need to start checking my calendar again.

>>15438126

Eh happens to the best of us man. Plus 9/11 was really tragic. Everyone wants to be as far from it as they can.

But anyways do you think we will ever get another expansion or will they go straight to Warcraft 4?

>rumour

Fucking hell anon, pull yourself together. That shit was confirmed ages ago.

>>15438132

There's no way they won't make a fourth warcraft, that MMO spin off is never going to be popular.

>>15438139

Anon lemme have hope for W4. Just think about the kinda shit they might pull in an MMO.

Only way it could work is if its orc troll tauren vs human dwarf and night elf so each side could have 3 races.

Granted NE like humans more than Orcs but they i doubt they would join with the alliance.

Plus wtf will they do with sylvanas? Lich queen or something?

>>15437597

Titans always felt like a cheap gimmick to me. That they all had the same generic name and description and the same animations really didn't help. I wished I could play with Atlantian factions without titans being a thing.

i like how big the girls tits were in this game. except for the succubus for some reason, why is the succubus the flattest girl in the game? or maybe the naga sea witch was flatter, id still fuck the naga sea witch though but who the hell needs a flat succubus that isnt even a loli?

>pretending to be retarded thread

why are orc caster units the only ones with no/late automatic spell casting?

i feel like their only good units are headhunters/wolfriders/kodo rider

>>15440575

well none of the witchdoctor spells are things youd trust auto cast with, and putting lightning shield on auto cast is sure to hurt you just as much as it hurts your enemy.

>>15438020

Getting rid of the risk map is a huge fucking mistake.

>>15437307

I bet Warcraft 4's gonna be the mmorpg. Don't worry though, it will be a lot different than Everquest or trashy MUDs. I bet Blizzard's gonna make it so we all fight like we are units in an army. There will be huge battles with hundreds of units all controlled by players. Won't that be cool?

>>15440685

gee i sure hope we get to play as nagas and the game doesnt revolve around 2 factions when theres clearly at least 3 by the end of tft.

>>15437307

>be shit at rts

>>15437307

Well I'm not sure if WC4 is ever getting released, let alone made. But since Blizzard has already played with the idea of different timelines and shit in WoW, I'd like for WC4 to follow up 3 with a different set of events from WoW.

>>15437307

What are the recommended custom Campaigns/Scenarios for W3. Im interesed in some good singleplayer fun.

Also, guys, my dad that works in Blizzard North, says that a Warcraft movie is in the works! Can you believe it? A full CGI movie. Im really hyped for it!!!!!1!!1!!

>>15441293

Oh please, it'll be years before that movie ever comes out, and since when have video game movies ever been any good?

>>15441293

Blizzard would never make a movie.

>>15441293

But a good custom map?

Theres one its kinda like a tower defense map but it has hero units.

Its Defense of… damnit of was it again? Can an anon help me out here

>>15441482

Defense of The Asses or something like that, who cares, it's not like it'll be anything more than a mod for Warcraft 3.

Man I wonder do non-americans play this game a lot?

>>15441505

Not as much as Starcraft.

>>15437307

Everything from Blizzard is shit. There is no need to discuss their nugames.

>>15441580

What the fuck are you talking about? What nugames? Warcraft 3 is the latest game Blizzard released.

>>15437307

Man I loved both ROC and TFT, but it kinda sucked that there was only one orc campaign in both games. And no the bonus campaign doesn't count. Maybe Blizzard will make up for it in WC4. What is everyone's theories on what the story will be about? Will Arthas be playable again?

>>15438020

They're basically ridiculing fans on the forum who are asking for better historical accuracy. It's going to be a bigger trainwreck than Medieval. I think this will be the last Total War considering how bad they keeping fucking up, ignoring their fans.

>>15438132

What were you doing when 9/11 happened? I was watching steve irwin in biology class. You'll always remember what you were doing when you first heard the news.

>>15441610

Warcraft 4 won't come out for a while. It will probably be Starcraft 2 next, then Diablo 3. That's the order they always go in: Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft.

>>15441646

Sometimes it’s better to ignore historical accuracy for fun anon.

>>15441697

What a dumb statement. How do accurate factions affect the fun of the game?

>>15441776

I don't know anon, if we wanted to be historically accurate than there would be no rebel factions.

>>15441505

In the UK at least C&C and AoE were the RTS kings, Warcraft was c-list.

>>15441646

We were sent home in the morning.we had been watching President Bush reading a book about ducks I was in the 1st grade.

When i got home 30 minutes later after both my parents were able to come home early from work they sent me and my brother to my room whilst they watched the news.

Out of curiosity i left and heard them freaking out in another room. I eatched the tv and saw little black dots falling out of the building. I thought it was building parts until the news reporter said that it was people

>>15441610

I think arthas will have an invasion centered storyline where he invades different parts of azeroth and the hero unit you control is a different death knight vs each race

Then i think the races will band together to fight him off. Then Illidan will come back announcing the return of the burning legion and he and the peoples of Azeroth will fight off the burning Legion before Illidan sacrifices himself to seal away Sargeras permanently

>>15443005

And was beginning to be rebuild already at the end of W2 (New Stormwind). So at the time of W3, if not completely at its full strenght, Stormwind should be extant.

Besides, by people of Azeroth,bits obious it refers to all the Alliance kingdoms.

>>15443005

>>15444031

In Warcraft 1, Azeroth wasn't the name of the world. It was the name of the Kingdom Llane Wrynn ruled.

It was retconned to be Stormwind in later additions to the series.

>>15437307

If you're looking for campaigns, curse of forsaken and rise of bloodelves are two very good ones. They took Wrath of Lich King and Burning Crusade and made them campaigns.

https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/rise-of-the-blood-elves-v3-0.245153/

>>15444059

you're talking after 2003. Get out, futurefag.

>>15444031

Possibly, but then why would WC3 end with that whole bit about the Proudmores and Theramore. I think, when they make the MMO, all the races will live on Kalimdor. Humans have Theramore, Ogres and Trolls have Dustwallow, Orcs have Orgrimmar, taurens have Mulgore and Night Elves have Mount Hyjal. High elves are destroyed and dwarves are all isolated in the east, so I doubt either will be playable initially. I'm guessing the eastern continents will be all for high levels, with Sylvanas as a main boss ruling the undead from Lordaeron. Endgame will be Northrend where you fight Arthas, then they'll probably have an expansion where you go to Outland. That's my prediction, screencap it and watch it come true.

>>15440923

>mission where you have to trap grom into a soul shard and bring him back to jaina

>destroy nearly all the orc bases

>reach grom

>put him in soul shard

>figure i can just run back while fighting

>click on the circle of power

>thrall runs through the north-west part of the map

>oh look at that, i forgot an orc town there

>think i can just run through it

>i can't

>thrall dies

>suddenly grom pops out of the soul shard

>runs back to his throne on the other side of the map

>have to recapture him all over again

>blademaster grom

<I'll use that clone attack like the CPU does every single time to annoy me

>can't figure out who the real clone is

This will easily be the next starcraft. The Warcraft 3 scene will takeover.

A year ago I reinstalled it to play the Werewolf custom game. Now recently I reinstalled it again to play Castle Fight and Orc Gladiator.

Now I feel kinda bored again.

And watching Wtii I realize that I have absolutely no clue about the metagame in the multiplayer game.

>also when will Warcraft 4 be released

It's not even in development. But what we will get is a kinda remaster of Warcraft 3. It's kinda happening right now in baby steps.

>sre the rumors of a Warcraft MMORPG a la Everquest true?

lol

>>15443005

>>15444031

>>15444059

WoW gimped the human kingdoms. Every single other kingdom except for Stormwind was destroyed/vanished/turned neutral.

The also gimped the Night Elf Empire hard, who were a faction in their own right before joining the Alliance after all.

Did WoW actually ever introduce Feary Dragons in their game or did they just vanish?

Also not to mention that most neutral factions like the Explorer's Guild and others are very implicitely Alliance and only for gameplay purposes are technically neutral. Just like Dalaran.

>>15445293

You think this Day9 guy will ever make videos about WC3 or will he autistically stick for years to come to Starcraft, untill a sequel comes out?

>>15450459

Faerie dragons have been in wow since vanilla. They're in feralas around a pond. I don't remember seeing them anywhere else. I farmed them for days thinking they dropped a pet like the other dragons warcraft lore became an oxymoron starting with wc3 don't disappoint yourself with wow.

>>15458117

hah. i remember farming the green whelps in swamp of sorrows for four days straight, 10 hours or so each day, just for the pet.

>>15458233

Wew, I just killed a few Blue ones in Winterspring and got mine.

>>15437307

WC3 hard really shallow lore. Reading the books that came after wc3 further convinced me of that.

People remember it fondly but it holds up only in terms of gameplay.

>>15458472

>WC3 hard really shallow lore

And yet you could not resist reading toilet paper books about it.

>>15437307

There's been a tournament on recently (that plays around this time? Maybe in a couple of hours) of race wars. It's been pretty good, commentary is okay.

TFT has better overall balance. Units being strong vs themselves is silly, and magic damage being good against heavy armoured towers and units gives them more use, and it also makes the end game flyers able to tear through towers effectively.

>>15458472

Read the manual you faggot, it was pretty good, till Blizzard needed more "Inspiration" from Knaak the Dragonlance guy and Christie Star Trek Golden, and the fucking retcon and added addition of fucking Space Goats and the retcon of Sargeras DINDUNUFFIN and even bigger baddies named Void Lords, ruined this fucking game, and gotta admire Blizzard's choice in ignoring plotholes, constantly.

>>15450459

What the fuck is a WoW, what the hell are you talking about? Warcraft 3 is the latest warcraft game to come out, take this WoW fanfiction shit of yours elsewhere.

Serious question here: how do I git gud at RTS? I have been playing the genre for years, but mostly just the campaigns against the AI. My main problem is that I cannot control the battlefield in the head of the combat: I understand which units are effective against what and what I need to do, but I just cannot control it with the mouse, even with keyboard shortcuts. I doesn't help either that the shortcuts are all over the keyboard and that I only have one hand on it, so I would have to look away from the screen to pick the key. I cannot harass the enemy that way, so I end up turtling, building a large army and then just throwing everything at the enemy.

Is there a trick or should I just give up and keep playing the campaigns forever?

>>15469361

Watch Day9's videos on Starcraft 2, they are very good all-purpose videos for nearly all RTSes
