What's the meta like in this game?

>>2089495 (OP)
nelf imba

>>2089495 (OP)
human are the weakest and most skill requiring faction.

>>2089517
>skill
Unit is getting damaged, cast heal

>>2089524
What a shit game if there's a faction like that in it.

>>2089495 (OP)
You can beat 90% of the campaign just by making a line of ranged units and lure the enemy to them. The remaining 10% you beat by spamming major summoning

>>2089524
You're thinking of undead actually.

>>2089495 (OP)
what meta, it doesn't even have multiplayer

>>2089512
>>2089770
>zoomies don't know WC1

>>2090092
wtf, W2R does have an online mode, right? and this one doesn't?

>>2089495 (OP)
spam riflemen if human
spam archers if nelf
spam crypt fiends if undead
spam headhunters if orc

>>2090641
only gen x played 1, don't be silly.

>>2090657
>>2090641

>>2090661
I'm millenial and I played it

>>2090662
I was born in '99 and WC1 was my first WarCraft

Apparently, they can't figure out how to make the ancient DOS multiplayer work over current net (aka they are lazy retards)

Been getting into Warcraft 3 recently and it's honestly a fucking great RTS. It's easy to play, really deep, and enough wacky shit in it to have things like Pitlord or Tinker first work just fine.

I can't get enough of it and I feel like more people would love it too if they tried it instead of exclusively splashing their toes in the Custom Games kiddie pool. Nothing wrong with Customs, but Melee PvP is like Dota but you don't need to carry teammates and you feel like a cool tactical leader when you play an execute your vision.

>>2089495 (OP)
Catapults are OP and can 1shot any unit, and orcs are generally better because necrolyte skele spam. Necrowagon has always been a solid strat in the series.

>>2092383
>Dota
the simplified baby version of the OG, Aeon of Strife

>>2090661
i played and finished it 3 months ago

>>2092390
War3 PvP mogs both

It's an actual RTS

>>2092383
You would be wrong.

>>2092390
Aeon of Strife was extremely simple, mechanics- and strategy-wise.

>>2092383
I would enjoy it a lot more if I never had to play against Chinese players.

>>2092390
>I have never played AoS
Embarrassing.

>>2092383
Unfortunately the strongest melee strats involve trolling the enemy with pathfinding abuse and usually end the game before your first hero hits level 5.

>>2089495 (OP)
Spam Daemons if orc, Water Elementals if human.

>>2094001
This hasn't been my experience and looking at games on FloTV this isn't the case either

"pathfinding abuse" what does this mean.

>>2092386
>skele spam
One hit from a catapult takes out all skellies. But demons are OP

>>2094011
Now I want a water elemental GF

>>2094011
Water Elementals are OP. A Demon is never going to win a 1v1 against an elemental.

>>2097158
>1v1
That's literally the one scenario the demon wins

>>2097161
What? The elemental will reduce the demon to half hp before it gets into melee range.

>>2089495 (OP)
i don't play remaster blizzard bullshit.
but if you meant original WC1 this is true>>2089692.
human bean have the better elemental summon. and their archers have slightly longer range.

>>2092383
The saddest part for me about Warcraft 3 is that there’s really not that many games that copied it or are even remotely similar to it. It’s both a traditional RTS at its core, but it’s also a limited RPG Hero/Item mechanics that separate it into its own unique thing, a thing that hasn’t really been copied or imitated properly. Most games just went for copying traditional RTS mechanics or they just went all in on making a MOBA.

Dawn of War 2 and Spellforce are the only remotely similar games off the top of my head, and even then they play totally differently.

>>2097168
>range 3
>40 damage
Water elemental will get two shots at best before the daemon rapes its liquid butthole

New balance changes live on War3

Changes so far are good, but more games needed

keeping an eye on W3Champions stats

play Warlords Battlecry series? it's more likely that WC3 copied Battlecry since it did it first. stop being a newbie and play more /vr/.

Battle Realms is the one blizzard completely ripped off for wc3.
In fact they delayed their release for a year to copy everything good from battle realms.

>>2098073
ideas don't matter

execution does

it's why blizzard used to be good; they used to care how well games played vs. how original their ideas were

Still waiting for a remake of WC1&2 in the StarCraft game engine.
How rotten is my corpse by now?

>>2098606
Never ever.
You can play them in stratagus though.

TFW humans never had crossbows again

>>2100215
I think they sometimes did in WoW, for whatever it’s worth.
