Awesome Demo. It is great, but doesn't completely pwn. I like all the features but it gets boring after a while of traveling. Heck, I can't even find thunderbluff! Also, sometimes your party will trap you in a corner. Luckily, if you click "Stop" or "s" then they will flee a bit for you to escape.
Once again, this is a pretty old version of Wc3:WoW. The new version should make travelling easier thanks to the Flight Path system we plan to add sooner or later. The "
S" key is actually meant to help you with situations when you get stuck in a corner by your party members. Pressing S a few times will order your party members to move in the direction your character is facing. Hopefully though, the AI which we're improving will help make these situations more rare.
The thing that really angered me was that the hunters had a minimum range. I think it would be better to allow them to have no minimum range so they don't always have to flee to attack, it gets annoying.
Hunters have been fixed and have longer range now and might also have melee attacks thrown in for them as well when engaged in close-quarters-combat.
I like the terrain and I love the fog but the terrain is very repetitive. There is a very long loading time too, but I manage. Besides, it is hard to load all that data.
Loading the maps might not get shorter in the next version. It's hard to make loading faster and are not 100% sure why it takes such a while to load. Hopefully we can decrease it before next release.
Most of the terrain is being remade and improved as much as we can.
Also, I haven't seen it yet but can the AI controlled heroes have a party? It can make it a little more interesting instead of just killing them because I have two (two levels higher than me) blademasters that pwn anything that come in their way, except air units such as swoops or w/e.
Air units (
including swoops) will be attackable by melee units in the next version and hopefully Player-Bots can start their own groups in next version as well and possibly invite you themselves, however that is very unlikely.
I love the mountianous feeling of the map and I love the smooth camera viewing. But sometimes it makes me sick when my unit walks around and the camera shakes a bunch because he is constantly moving due to the fact he has a minimum range!! Arggh...
There are three camera modes. RTS mode, Third Person Camera mode, and Third Person Camera mode with manual camera control. For information about this, go
