How much does that suck? They can only attack ground units. So you need to make sure your opponent is strictly ground before mass chimeraring.

Yes. Thus air units are good to use against chimeras, and they alse happen to be pretty good against frost wyrms which are very slow.

Of course, none of these are quite as good as sorceresses with Polymorph. Man, that spell is fun when you pull it off.

I like Gargolyles, and lots of them. They are quite cheap and good.

Gargoyles are ok, but practically any ground unit at all that can attack air will destroy them. In the original Warcraft III, I often had a dozen each priests and sorceresses fighting massive groups of gargoyles and wiping them all out with maybe one or two casualties. I didn't even polymorph any of them. Heal was good enough.

Of course, the guy I was up against was a fool who couldn't focus fire, but still, gargoyles aren't very useful against ground units. That's what the frost wyrms are for.

Blast I can't wait! Isn't it out already??

I really hope they paid heed to the problems Xantar described.

I just got it!!!

The ability to make your own shops is a bit confusing, and maybe a bit too much.

I like the additional hero and units idea, even though I don't know what half of them do ..........yet. Those Orc ones are weird (with the linking ability) but could be good to use if you have many taurens on your team (for tauren summoning).

What the hell do those Night elf flying units do??

I'm gonna play campaign, then battlenet all the way.

So far my fave heroes are Human/Undead/Night Elf. Don't like the Orc one, but maybe I haven't used him properly.

Undead one is so sick!

And those night elf rock dudes are good! So much though.

Love the game right now. The intro kicked ass. Love Blizzard!

warlords battle cry has a better hero system the warcraft 3
the biggest reson warcraft3 in my opinion suked was the limit on the amout of units u can make unlike warcraft 2 in wich you can build a hored of units and swarm your opponet

If you could "SWARM" your opponent with 200+ units it would make the Heroes less useful.
