New Warcraft 3 Site
by Maarten Goldstein, May 23, 2001 5:53am PDTBlizzard has made a pretty big update to the Warcraft3 website, redesigning it and including new information and screenshots (in wide screen format even). Mostly just stuff that was seen at E3 I am guessing. We glanced at Warcraft3 while at E3... looked uh.. a lot like last year. Ship it! Meanwhile WarcraftIII.net has the final part of a big Q&A with the Blizzard guys asking all about this RTS. This 3rd part focuses on gameplay, tech and misc elements of the game.
- Anything new on seasonal and day/night effects on races? This is still very much a work in progress. Yes, the Night Elves and the Undead have advantages at night. Do the Humans and Orcs have a proportional advantage during the day? Or do the Night Elves and Undead suffer a balancing "penalty" during daytime? "We're not sure yet how that's all going to work," say the Team members, "but we're going to make sure it's fair and balanced."
- Has Blizzard made plans to include the canceled sixth race in the Warcraft III expansion? Surprisingly enough, we didn't get a brush off on this one, like "Who says there is an expansion?" But we also didn't get a "yes" or "no." What we got was an interesting, "We have had so many races developed for this game, we could do a bunch more and still not run out." Before you capture that as a "confirmation" of an expansion pack, though, it really is not. Quite. :-)

we also made our own custom maps to play against eachother with. we made one, i dont remember what we called it, but it was basically a plus sign of water in a 128x128 map, with the bottom and top being the 2 territories, which were identical in every way. there would be trees on the left and right side in the boxes that the plus sign would leave, and there would be 2 gold mines, and 3 oil patches, one close to each base and one in the middle to fight over. there would be rocks surrounding the entire territory except on the bottom and top of the plus sign, which were the entrance/landing/shipyard area for each territory. we had TONS of battles on that map, it was fun to invent creative ways to invade eachother's base. sneaking the landing craft past enemy ships, etc.
it was always funner to be a gamer when you didnt have any responsibilities except taking out the trash or something. :)
