TBS or macro RTS ?

[Tejveer]

Hi, I want to create a map, but, as the title says, i cannot decide what it's going to be. Of course, a map is created to be played not to "exist". I already have something going, but I'm still at the beginning and I must decide which path I'll follow.

So, personally, I am a lover of turn-based and I find the W3 lore pretty vast regarding different creatures for a TBS (unlike Starcraft 2, for example).

I want to find out the people' oppinions about this ? Would they prefer a TBS or a macro RTS ? Why one and why not the other ? Details here, pls. Please take into consideration aspects like number of players, map size, average game time, etc.

Thank you

Both are good type of games, but for Warcraft 3, TBS is not really being played or make, but if done correctly just like HERO RPG, it will surely be a amazing map.

Not to say that one is necessarily better/worse than the other, but I'd just like to point out that TBS is generally enjoyed far less than RTS among Warcraft 3 players. Wc3 is, after all, an RTS.

That said, I greatly appreciate "new" things for wc3 - I've seen hundreds of macro RTS maps, not much more to be done there. A TBS done right would be great for the players open enough to give it a shot.

Someone can close this

Well, I expected a couple more explicit answers but anyway... In the meantime, I got an idea of a TBS + RTS and I'll start working. Thanks and close this thread, pls.
