Basically, know enough about the lore to create a total war game that makes sense. You can have the story start from the first war, and if you don't die, as the years progress, it goes into the second war, AI factions appear, etc, then lot of these factions can be used, and if they are destroyed, create some of these other factions you guys have. Now if you just have all your current faction choices start up at once. Honestly its just dumb with not much depth. :P. I understand all the hard work put into those, it still won't exclude decisions that made no sense. I understand people want to see some of these factions in action, and you can, just combine them with factions they are aligned to, it will make a much better, more variety type of game. Like my Dark Horde example or even the New Horde. Dark Horde has orcs, trolls, ogres, dark irons, etc. A faction with a lot of variety, same with Alliance, and New Horde. There are a lot of factions to choose to make a great total war, you guys are just dividing the big ones into small ones and throwing in huge ones from different parts of history.
There is one thing about this thats always bugged me about the project. The choosable factions make no sense, including lore wise.
Currently, there are not enough High Elves left to really be a faction. The faction was put to near extinction when Arthas destroyed it. Most of what was left became the Blood Elves to honor the dead, of which because of the loss of there well, lost lot of there magic and went to different types. There are too few that call themselves high elves to warrant a faction.
Next; Lordaeron's population was demolished, of course not literally, but most were killed. Like the High Elves, the Remnants went to either Stormwind or Theramore (Theramore mostly, SW was barely involved in the 3rd war). Scarlet Crusade was also created by remnants of Lordaeran, of which after corruption was apparent, was branched off into the Argent Dawn.
Then you have these other small factions. None of it makes sense, you grab factions from different points in time and grab random factions that aren't very threatening by themselves. I actually pointed some of this out a long time ago on your forums when you guys were working on this.
The only ones that make sense are; Stormwind, Theramore(Though small), Horde, Night Elves, Blood Elves, Scourge, Forsaken, Argent Dawn, Scarlet Crusade, & Burning Legion. If you want to pull a Troll Empire, do one that makes sense and has actually been organized at one point. Use Forest Trolls, not frost trolls. If you want to use small factions, then bring in other ones. Like the Dark Horde, which is small but a actual faction thats threatening. You could just combine them with Dark Irons since they work together anyway, and would create a more powerful faction.
There is a lot that can be made for improvements and WOULD make sense. People want warcraft in total war, but they also want a GOOD one. That makes and can make sense.
Is it just me, or is it every time a game comes out, someone trys to make a 40k mod? Infact every FPS game with modding abilities someone does it.
You do realize theres *walking* and *running* mode on it right?
I'm curious, out of all the many units, such as the some of the zerg models you see in campaign, your not adding any new units? Or returning some like scouts that should be in the editor (You see them in the campaign). There is much to offer, yet you only add a couple, and change a bunch of stats? The biggest addition is Terrans, and some units are rendered a tad useless.
Wait... Cracked? You do realize you can play the game without the disc right? However you can't get to game manager I believe without the disc.
A beta key? Lol
Internetz is seriouz buzzinez
You guys could have at LEAST changed the interface icons (The attack/move/stop) There simply icons, they look too warcrafty for this theme,
Not a original name
Azeroth? Azroath? Seriously?
this sounds a lot like red cocaine... only ideas from everyone else, not focused on 1 person
i never understood why there was tanya on both sides
Every decent RA3 mod out there is begging for lots of modders... The more mods out, the harder that will be
This will be number 1 if you complete this, and a lot dont complete there mods.
LEMME GET MY RED BULL BEFOREY YOU BLOW US UP!
use the mirage tank or something for the model... and chrono tank doesnt blow things up, it makes them go poof, yours makes it invis then blows up
Hmm, not bad so far, but what where are the features?
Turtlers aren't hard to get rid of, just nuke there power supply and roll in, or bomb a specific spot and swarm in. Turtling isnt that effective in this game, sadly
chinese should just be super swarmers, cheap, weak but very powerful in numbers
Hmm I notice all the units and buildings kinda "stick" out, as in they don't look like they belong, eh how should I put it, they don't fit in with the regular graphics, i understand that modeling is stuff.
Also what would be cool is if you made things bigger then they are, like buildings being a bit bigger, and infantry being smaller, and tanks being a little bigger.
rofl you should recreate the missions, and impliment the old movies.. that would be awesome =)
Rawr! I'm a C&C vet and I find a c&c just for this purpose =)
SC2 will have so much to offer, most games with very good graphics and such have difficult modding stuff and mapping, blizz makes things very simple and easy rather then, figure it out. Lot of potential is in sc2
Btw... its ORCS not ORKS, and this probably is dead, many people who start projects dont stay on it, its not uncommon, they do a lot then stop and get a new idea or something, no updates in 6 months so this is prob more then dead
Why is it every version only has empire updates? Make it worth while, give us 1 for each faction
lots of new units, i like that
If you guys just get the patches and the full version these questiosn wouldnt always be asked... just download the latest patches
You should add releases, first with like the soviets and allies for starters, and for every release, you add more factions and updates. Plus I love the unit variety!!!
