Copies everything from battle realms
Spellforce was better
>>
>>737796041
I wish battles in WC3 looked like BR
The feeling of genuine martial masters on the battlefield through animations alone still hasn't been matched by any other RTS
Maybe Dawn of War was close

>Most popular concept in turn based strategy (HOMM) applied to real time strategy

In retrospect, the strangest thing is that only WC3 did it
>>
>>737797889
there were some other games that tried, they all were kinda bad tho
>>
WC3's dogshit 5 years to kill anything combat ruined it for me. That and the focus on practicing build orders.

Warcraft III doesn't have any roleplaying.

Spellforce did it and it was pretty decent
>>
>>737795428
SRPGs have existed long before Warcraft 3, but they're usually turn based.

no its shit. All you do in 1 and 2 is to spam blobs of ranged units. Heroes deal to little damage even when they level up enemy units get stronger as the campaign advances so heroes remain pointless.
>>
>>737795428
There's no roleplaying, it might've inventend the macro/micro hybrid of rts. Where you spend as much time managing your micro (hero) and macro.

That would be HoMM1 tho.

Onld Blizzard never invented anything, they just polished what they took to a mirror sheen.
>>
>>737795428
Nope. That would be Warlords Battlecry which came a year earlier.

Do you think he stopped wanting to be a farmer after seeing all the peasants turn into zombies?

>>737800443
Is there any game like HoMM but with controllable hero unit in battle? I know age of wonder series but those are 4x and not really close to HoMM.
>>
I thought that Korean game was the first one to jam RPG elements into an RTS.

Also, the 'RPG elements' in all these games are just fucking units that get a bit stronger. It's basically just the same as unit upgrades from a building.

>Is there any game like HoMM but with controllable hero unit in battle?
HoMM4
>>
>>737800443
Master of Magic is a year older than HoMM1 and Warlords is 4 years older than that.
>>
It invented the nigger strategy
>>
>>737799061
>5 years to kill anything combat
yeah, before minute 11 where you have level 2 heroes and tier 1 and 2 units. after level 3 heroes and t3 units everything dies pretty fast with focus fire
>>
>zoomtards never played SotDRP maps with friends

Warcraft 3 is larger than life
>>
>>737799061
That's a good thing, prevents the game from becoming gook clicking and makes builds, target prioritization and composition more important.
>>
I hate blizzard and reforged so fucking much.

All my homies play undead
fuck human fuck orc and fuck nigga elf

OH-AURARGHH!!

That game was good in his own right (as a single player game).

I'm pretty sure there were a couple of other similar RP/Sandbox customs, too bad I never got to experience it, it was so gemmy
>>
blizkeks are delusional as always
Shit thread, page 10
>>
>>737811218
Yeah there were.
Fantasy Life was rather RP oriented, there was also all the Life of a Peasant (loap) maps and its derivative maps, several maps that included the entirety of Azeroth and many others I'm sure
>>
>>737796782
Kung fu RTS in which your units start as peasants and then you send them in to the appropriate dojo where they get turned into various combat units.
The only 2 resources in the game are water and rice.
It was pretty nice and had a lengthy campaign that I completely forgot.
>>
>>737799061
It would just be gookslop like SC2 if whole armies went down in seconds.
>>
>>737795428
>no more games with that idea
>>
>>737811350
I know LOAP but I was thinking of Titan Land and SotFRP. Theres also more similar ones but I can't remember. Shame that RP craze went away.
>>
>>737811680
vuen's dnd was literally a DnD sandbox where you can build the map real time like a tabletop simulator.

Holy shit I actually replayed Titan Land recently, alone too.
It's just so fun and the time stop titan is kino
>>
>>737799061
why the fuck are you playing ladder? if you want to see cool combat you play custom games you fucking moron
>>
>>737812116
This really hits home and described my experience to a T except that I used to start maps with like 5-6 people and we usually ended up at 2 people due to the multiple disconnections
Some maps were so much better than others too, mountains was quite good.
There was also a SotDRP ripoff whose name I can't remember (XRP?) that was actually set in a futuristic setting with cars, drones, planes and it was really well made
>>
>>737809185
WC3 is no less gookclick than any other Blizzard RTS.
>>737811470
It's already gookshit, except it's gookshit where units feel like they're armed with nerf bats instead of weapons.
>>
>>737799061
the wave of e-celeb faggots that think warcraft 3 is a sweaty matchmade game where you need build orders and heroes max out at ~lv5 really piss me off. you're worse than secondaries. you all need to kill yourselves
>>
>>737812776
Youtube was years from existing when I formed that opinion.
>>
>>737809185
you are retarded. The long ttk makes wc3 more micro heavy than sc2, and also means that micro is more important.
