Yeah WC3 is one of the best games ever. Either the Undead or the orcs maybe human) are the best but Night Elves stink like a poopy flavored lolly pop. Undead and Orc are my fav anyways and Yeah the maps and missions and stuff rule (I do love the Human level where you have to destroy all the boats and hire guys to fight) the WC games are by far best computer games EVER! I bought WC3 from my brother for 10 bucks haha.
I like some elements of it, but the hero system can be cheap, and units take up way too much production...and I don't like the upkeep system. Personally, I like Starcraft better because units take up less space, and there's a higher total population you can attain, but WC3 does have some things going for it--the magic system is pretty neat, as well as the 3-D element to it.
lol how can you be impressed? they basically reworked Zergs / terrans / protoss into 4 races...
Humans : they hold terran characteristics in small ways. one would be that foot soldiers are cheap and fairly weak.
Nightelves : They have the terran ability to move buildings, and yet the zerg characteristic in which the wisp becomes the structure (much like the zerg worker becomes a structure)
Undead : A zerg / protoss mix, they corrose the ground with thier special taint(zerg), then they summon a building and can walk away to continue building other structures(protoss)
Orc : They hold very strong terran characteristics, such as being able to use thier farms as barracks

Most of Blizzard's games evolve on what came before them. Like Backfire said, expanding similar traits into four races is particularly impressive, and it offers more replay value in multiplayer matchups.
When you think about it, Starcraft more or less evolved from Warcraft/Warcraft II games... but obviously had more area it could expand to what with only two races in the original Warcrafts. Like I said, I still like Starcraft over the Warcraft series... a large part on what you alluded to in terms of original units in the Terrans, Zerg and Protoss.
Im tellin u all i have had the warcraft 3 as soon as it come out and then the expansion as soon as it come out i am level 45 in warcraft online and i did it using night elf and orcs
Orcs: For when u need brutal ,raw strength
the blademaster or tauren cheiftan =ownage
Night elf: great with their hide abillity
the warden with blink is amazing
the demon hunter owns with metamorhisis
BUT the preistis of the moon takes the cake with
Trueshot Aura ( adds range strength )
Searing Arrows ( adds heaps of damage to attacks )
Starfall ( ssends heaps of stars raining downhurting all enemies
Hide ( invisibillity at night )
demon hunter is a joke if faced by the Mountain king as I said earlier, a good combo is to have 6 knights a paladin, and MK rest gryphon, that makes sure you got some pretty good ground dmg aswell as dmg aborbers, while you can have the gryphon doing the massive dmg up in air, and ofc if the knights die you have the pala to ress them and the MK to take care of anything that resits magic, Humans are a little bit overpower i'd sy simply due to the heroes they have
