For now, not much information is available yet, but soon we
will have more for sure. I will talk about the basics of the
game so far, on just a few pages. All info is subjext to
change.
RPS is a "Role-Playing-Strategy", which to me,
sounds very exciting. It will be part role playing, meaning
you will be roaming the world, looking for quests, items, men
to add to your army, etc... It will be part strategy, which
means you will be doing such things like in a RTS games like
getting gold, building bases, and well... strategizing :)
Warcraft 3, unlike the Warcraft 1 and 2, will be 3D. That
means possibly changing views, men being polygons, instead of
flat pieces of image. In my opinion, Warcraft series in on
it's way...
Warcraft 1 - Dos, Overhead RTS
Warcraft 2 - Windows 9x, Overhead RTS
Warcraft 3 - Windows 9x, 3D RPS
Like all Blizzard
games, Warcraft 3 will have GREAT graphics. Just go to the
screenshots we have so far by clicking on the left hand menu.
Since the game's in 3D, they have to make many graphics, since
each polygon has a graphic. From what we see so far, this
game's graphics are a plus. :)
Well, so far, all we really know is this. You have heroes,
and units. How it works, is you control the heroes, who
control the units. So I guess the units have their own AI, to
do what they think the hero wants them to do. You won't have
villagers or peons, to collect resources, but instead collect
gold, for finishing quests and killing enemies. So this is
where more of the rpg part kicks in.
Blizzard
says they will be making a great campaign, and scenario
builder to go along with the game. They say the scenarios you
make will be fully customizable. Maybe even able to make your
own tile graphics, everything. And the campaigns themselves, I
KNOW will be great. Well, that's all for now, till next update
on info from Blizzard.
