So far it's cool, but really weird. There are some completely overpowered new units in the game. It started with the Human nighthawks just dominating. they're cheap and strong, and you can build 'em really quickly. You could have them in on 1 upgrade of the town hall.



Now there are the undead air units, which take awhile to get, but once you have them there is no beating them. They have self-buffs that cause them to do more damage and area attack. Basically meaning if he hits the middle guy, the 4 on either side of him will be hit too. Like a catapult sorta.



And the statues that you can build fairly early have automatic HIGH hp regen cast on everyone around them. they're invincible. You go around with 2 statues and 10 sphinxes (the air units) and there is no beating them. now lets talk about the undead's new class, that guy can cast raise dead and bring about scarabs for only 30 mana, they can hit for 13-21 fully upgraded (which isn't bad), they don't take any food and they automatically follow the hero and attack near what he is attacking. i mean wow :).



and the neutral units, that's just a badass idea. any player can go to the middle of this one map and buy a neutral hero to be added to your list to fight for you, it's so sweet.



if they don't fix the overpowered-ness this game won't last very long. but otherwise, i think it looks VERY cool ;)

That's why it's in beta...duh I expect many changes, so don't get too exited yet.



We expect the Beta to run a minimum of eight weeks. Although the Beta

may run until the release of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, it may

also be stopped prior to the release of the finished game.

really though it does sound neat, I may have to blow the dust off of my WC3 cds and play it again.
