You will play as the goblin infused strength focused Orc, the technologically advanced economical Human, the hyper-aggressive soul thirsty Lost, or the adaptive magic crazed Naga. Included are highly customized tech trees for each race, new heroes, units, abilities, spells, upgrades, integrated sea units, specialized terrain, and support features.
Possibly the best Altered Melee map Ive ever played.
Great gameplay with new and unique units, while still having that same Warcraft feel.
As far as custom factions go, Beyond the Throne is pretty much one of the very best out there. Gameplay is expanded to include new mechanics like naval combat, which is done the traditional way with the Alliance and Horde but integrated seamlessly into the Naga and the Lost, the two factions replacing the Night Elves Sentinels and the Scourge. The design asymmetry that OG Blizzard is known for is nicely cultivated to give each faction its own identity.
NB: If you play with a certain someone, he will find a way to nuke you. Especially if you're playing as allies.
This is pure, unadulterated insanity of a mod. Literally Warcraft IV. What I would like to emphasize is the visual design and clarity - it feels like an extension of WC3, most units and buildings do not strike me as from some other game, they do look at home when compared alongside the original roster. At the same time, they are not simple recolours, with so many new styles and mechanics they do pretend to be something more, something that needs a good story to correspond with it and to explain it, to draw the player into it.
Impressive mod and really enjoyed the graphics and functionality of em.
I really like Lost. very unique, utilizing low-regenerating mana as harrassing tool, as 4th race in Starcraft, why not? Nice hero ideas and effects too. Experimental units and larger maps would be awesome.
Is okay but the Hot-Keys mess the whole thing up
