I just got it and its realy good! Do you guys like it?

Oh ya one of the best games of all time in my option, story is good(very good) gameplay never gets old, and theres a milion of maps too it too, Tower Defence is pretty sweet and best of all there are some LOTR maps too Great Game can't wait for WoW

Play it just for the LotR maps. THat's always fun to do. But, with TFF exp pack, Legolas now has cheap blink. He never dies! Arg!

I had it for a while. Its not that great, I like the WC 2 Tides of Darkness still the best.

Hmm WC3 is a grinding field (meaning you just pour men into the battle and then start again) with resources being too limited, now Empire Earths nerly limitless in resources without a unit limit as small. I like the story and characters in WC3 but the undead are a punk to attack.

Yo..... let me know your favorite Warcraft 3 race... and why.
Stinky Undies

P.S. stick to this topic, don't start talking about fantasies with your cat or something

I have no idea what you are talking about...so I will leave

mmm...cats...

sniper> hehehe fantasies about cats....

moved to video game discussion.


Anyway, My favorite WC3 race is probably the Humans, or the Undead. I switch off between them all regularly, but those are the two that I usually do the best with. I also enjoy the Orcs. Night Elves, while cool looking, don't usually get the job done, their usually very weak characters, even their hero classes are weak compared to some of the others.

I'm in the World of Warcraft beta test, and ironically, I think the Night Elf is the coolest in that game. Their starting area is visually stunning and really absorbing. Humans are neat too.

Yah.. Night elves can be good, real good, but they just take too long and before you know it you got an enemy running up your ass.

i switch off alot but im best with Orc. On east my account is like 14-1. but i dont play much anymore

You live in California, what are you doing playing on east?

In my opinion humans are the shit, nights with the paladin and priests behind them can knock through any land offense.... for air, the flying machines can cut through if in big numbers.

I like Undead. Destroyers rule battles, with a statues mana. DK is also a very good tanker hero, as is the CL. With a lvl 6+DK, your army moves much faster than the enemies, so it's easier to retreat.

It's a toss-up between the Night Elves and the Undead, so I'll give the coin toss to the Night Elves since the priestess on the Elves' version of the box art looked so damn attractive. Now how sad is that for a decision making process?

My favorite race are the Humans, why? bacause they got the strongest Hero (MK) they have good ground and air units, and they are very easy to rush with, NE and UD are also quite good, don't like the orcs.

While I don't have it, my favorite is the Undead, because they're most like the Zerg in StarCraft, and I vape people as Zerg

I like human and orc. I always try Night Elf, but I'm not very sucessful with it.

What kind of strategy do you use at first when starting as a night elf? maybe i'm too concerned with upgrades when i shouldn't be.

personaly I dont think WC3 is that great, I mean it's nice and all but I've never been much of a WC fan Race I enjoy the most are probably the humans or the orcs

Nightelves.. warden pwnz

I like the orcs the most, its the heros that sell me. Human come in a close second. Undead trailing far behind and beating the night elves, but by a nose.

Pandareans rule as well.

I'm a big fan of the Orcs since they are the coolest EVER! But my best is prob the Undead they OWN! yeah the night elves tree alive thing is cool but their kinda panzies and weak. The Humans are cool but after being human my whole life I kinda got a liking for the others right away.

Even though still I think W2 is the best game EVER (next to a few others).

My favorite are the Night Elves, but only b/c I like elves. I pretty much suck with all 4 races. Actually, I suck at all RTS games

Haha thats just OK and I've been playing for he past like 4 years on RTS games or moew so lol.

DUDE warcraft II was like the best game EVER!!

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.

Agreed that Starcraft is by far the best RTS offering by Blizzard, but I was very impressed at Blizzard's expanding of the Warcraft world from two races to four. The Night Elves and Undead are excellent additions to the series.

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

What's pretty impressive is that they were able to mix and match attributes like that and still make all the races extremely balanced

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.

lol there is no balance when you involve the auras and skills (of the heroes). Starcraft is truely balanced, not war3... I hope they patch it some more, although I must admit that war3 is more balanced now than it ever was... (*remembers RoC method* : Mass casters = GG)

The heroes are not so well balanced in warcraft 3, a MK can take out any hero in the game, with losing just about 20-30% of his life.

i honestly dont like wc3 dunno why i just like sc better

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 )

lol....fergo tha big warcraft specialist...notworthy
i like tha pandas the best..pure strength and numbers combined with a spell caster...and there just plain hilarious

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

a good legion of nightelves can pwn any human, in my opinion..

So now little melly is the expert melldog im tellin u all now

humans = good ground and air troops, excellent siege capabillity and powerfull spellcasters

orcs = have the most powerful ground units in the game and the even the spells of the spellcasters are used to make the ground troops better
basically good teamwork and has medium air and range attacks

undead = has powerful air units and ground units ,the ziggerats that attack are an easy way to win and the necromancer with raise dead is a must have and teh banshee with posess( can take over a non hero creep under level5 thus sacrificing the banshee )

nightelf= all nightelfs are mostly fast and have strong strong range attacks and spells but they dont have good melee attacks. the hide abillity is great for the suprise attacck

my fave heros

nightelf = priestis of the moon
orc = i like tauren cheiftan and blademaster
undead =dreadlord
human = mountain king ( cause of avatar )

if any1 wants help or a map created send me the specs and watever for the map or the question u want answered in a private message and ill give it out online

Please do not post repeatedly like that. Use the edit button next time.

ok but still why not and y u a mod

dude..i just gave my opinion...ur the big expert here and u know it..and shes been a mod for...how many years now, lana??

Yeah, I'm not really convinced he's an expert, he's pretty much saying the obvious for each race, though his little summary of Night Elf is a little off, their melee capability is very strong since adding Mountain Giants in the expansion, plus Druid of the Claw can be very good for melee as well.

Seems he's trying a little too hard to be seen as an expert.

I like the human race best of all. However I do on occasion, Pwn people with the NE

I just make an army of their Tree of eternity and let them attack everything (Since their not units I can make an unlimited number of them)

army of tree of eternity? if you really get to that point, im assuming your playing against crap players cause i've seen ppl try that very often and they always loose

Hell YA wc3 is the shit... thats just about the only game I play all the time... Im ranked in the 300 in AT matches..... I own with humans i still like orc the best tho... i cant afford WoW so im stuck with Wc3 for a bit longer but i dont really mind

I kinda like footies a bit more now... its so nice not having to worry about the economy or expanding

I heard reign of chaos was still broken compared to frozen throne

lol....im more of a defensive person..id rather let come agianst my defences while i build up my army..then i use hide to sneak up on the enemy and pwn them.

warcraft 3 is fun, though im not to good at it....but i like humans ...and i only know the basic strat for them altar farm peasant peasnt blahblah, i more into the custom maps like dota and TD's those are fun

I was certain koreans use nightelf the most.. and they pwn all blizzard RTS

i never get to play online...damn thing wont let me..

well... the only thing I dont like about playing wc3 online is that all you hear the entire fight is trash talk... I have yet to face anyone who has even a smidge of respect for one another

lol....yeh that happens on other online games....theres this whole group thing on SW BF 2 (not a clan..a group of friends) we all yell at eachother, but we all respect eachother...we just dont show it
