I wish this game would be more like Warcraft 3

[Deatheye]

When I first heard about the project, I was really hoping they pull off some kind of a new Warcraft 3.

Warcraft 3 is so unique with its Heroes and the maps with the cool items and stuff, I still love to watch high level Warcraft 3 streams and tournaments.

Now looking at Stormgate, it feels like it's 90% Starcraft - but worse than that actually - and 10% Warcraft sprinkled in.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to sound harsh or negative, I'm just kinda disappointed how it turned out to be.

Sadly I don't care about Starcraft. so I don't care much about Stormgate either :(

I really miss the Hero concept of Warcraft 3 in RTS games...

It'll change a lot over time. The devs are pretty ambitious and while co-op is where hero units are right now, I imagine that they could appear in competitive games.

Keep in mind that the devs have put a lot of emphasis on the map editor. That kind of freedom leads to things like DOTA. It has a lot of potential.

This is coming from someone who doesn't particularly like Stormgate as is, but I appreciate the work the devs are putting into player freedom.

Try Godsworn, it also has a demo, right now, here on Steam.

Absolutely and I really hope Stormgate will succeed, they put a lot of work and dedication into that project.

-Global Conflagration
-Beyond All Reason (not on Steam, though)
-Tempest Rising

Godsworn looks promising, gonna put that on my wishlist as well.

Tempest Rising already is on my list, but I've read that Slipgate Ironworks is somehow involved in this project which is not a good sign imo.

The units level up on creeps or enemy units, not exactly what you want but it's pretty close

It is not same thing, SG just has the old C&C veterancy system.

I'm still hoping they'll branch out the hero mechanic to other PvP modes. That is not to say I think they need to have only PvP modes (1v1, 3v3 etc.) with heroes, but I do think they should have the option for both systems to be on offer (ie. 1v1, 3v3 ladders without heroes, 1v12, 3v3 ladders with heroes etc.)

I've enjoyed the Coop mechanics (heroes) and how they adjust the mechanics of the given faction. I have, however, found the private 1v1 options to be bland without the heroes. Presntly I'll not be bothering with the official 1v1 or similar PvP without the heroes because it's too much SC2 vs. WC3 so to speak. Star Craft was fine, Warcraft was also fine but I prefer the latter by far due to the hero mechanics and additional asymmetry.

Blizzard ruined WC3 and then dropped it like a hot potato with the "improvements" unfinished. I miss the old version of it before the updates, but in its current state, it's trash.
