I *THINK* its just another AOE. I think the Fantasy twist is something else, but I could be wrong.

Aww...

Yeah, I read somewhere that they are working on a Fantasy one in the future that sounds neat. Maybe it had a different name. If it's just another AoE though, nevermind.

*Comes back from a quick bit of patch testing.*

Right. You already know the good things, now for the bad things.

It resets DoW's play registry, so you have to watch all the intros all the way through again.... Ignorable. (Note, you don't lose your profile.)

Persistant Bodies. Yeah, very cool, but I had a bad feeling when it wasn't a case of Off or On but instead High, Med, Low and off. Cue my heart sinking as soon as I see that. It seems the candidates for removal are the ones hidden in the FoW.... which means that if a nice big pile of bodies dissappears into the fog then theres a good chance it isn't coming back... Its an understandable dynamic (Just think how badly it would kill your machine if EVERY last body stayed...) its still a tad dissappointing.

That said, my Space Marines in Mortalis (My favourite Test-Bed map) had a rather satisfying pile of Eldar Guardian bodies just outside the base, but I can't help but think it would have been more spectacuar if the enemy wasn't on easy... (Not my fault, it resets the options, remember?)

Yeah, I gave it a test run earlier as well. I was dissapointed by the results, but I played on Easy too when they use practicaly no troops... On Standard (Also generally pretty easy) or Hard (Which tends to be the real "Standard" setting) I imagine you'd have a LOT more troops bodies piling up, especially around the defensive sites you set up.

It was hard going for the Light Bringer Chapter on Kastyr Lutien. I got stuck in one of the middle sections and could do nothing but defend. All the bodies were in my FoW to. It was like those old civil war photos where corpses are just lined up for the whole of the picture.

Later in the game I cheated with reveal all. That kicked ass! Seemed like theere was no decay of bodies.

This just in: Warcraft 3 Multiplayer still rules hardcore. Especially custom maps.

Also, if you play the Parasite map, it's badass to be an Alien, but it is damn funny to be a Human.

Warcraft 3 multiplayer gets increasingly awesome over time, due to people making better tools and niftier models.

My personal favorites are still tower defenses.

It's a Warhammer 40,000 FPS, I believe...
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.
Everyday I'm tumbl'n.

...right! Right... that other one was the FPS. It wasn't very good, from what I heard, but this one is suppoed to be pretty cool.

I didn't like WC3. The unit cap was to small, and the character units were a pain to micromanage.

I'm not playing real WC3, silly, I'm playing Custom Maps online.

Like A Stupid Orc Loser's RPG type game that eventually lets you ascend to Godhood.

Or Footman Wars, where you throw hordes of units at each other in a total melee... That can get kind of tedious eventually though.

Or Parasite, where 1 person on a science crew has been infected, and everyone else has to try and stop the Alien. This can include such unorthadox solutions as Self-Destructing the entire space station, or blowing up a planet, just to stop the alien (Which after it's second evolution, become's pretty unstoppable otherwise... Most tense moment ever, was the Captain locking down the whole ship and activating the self-destruct, and I was desperetly knocking down doors trying to get to the Launch Bay in time... Funniest moment is the one in my sig.). Best. Map. EVER.

EDIT: Okay, after seeing Penny Arcade and reading some articles, I'm actually kind of excited to look into AoE 3 now...

Fucking THARDUS! Fucking fucker!

I scanned him! It said 50% of my logbook was complete!

And then I reset the game, because I had about half health when facing him...

And promptly kicked his ass, forgetting to scan him again, and saved the game, continuing on my merry way. It wasn't until I scanned a puddle spore, and IT claimed to be 50% of the Log book, that I realized what I had done.

FUCKER. Fifth time's the charm, right?

Don't feel as bad as you do. All hardships are learning experiences.

...unfortunately, I never learn from them. T_T

Am. Going. To kill. Thardus DEAD.

I just wish this game were more open-ended for boss strategies. So I could torture him, first.
