This means that, despite being an RTS, you’ll have plenty of missions where you’re only controlling maybe a couple of heroes at most, along with a handful of soldiers no base-building, no resource management, absolutely nothing one would typically associate with the real-time strategy genre. Since it was the first time the franchise had “hero” characters, the campaign tries and makes as much use of them as possible. After all, it establishes one of the greatest villains in video game history - Arthas - and gives us an amazing look at a world that would eventually be known as Azeroth come WoW.Īll that said, however, Warcraft 3’s campaign definitely shows its age. In fact, a lot of the early popularity of World of Warcraft, along with the plethora of platitudes the Wrath of the Lich King expansion got, can be traced back to players’ fond memories of Warcraft 3’s campaign.

You need to make sure these units are well protected with Knights and Footmen, as well as spell casters like Sorceress and Priests for healing and AoE damage.

These will be late game troops and should be built when you are ready to march on an enemy base. The workshop is a structure that gives you access to flying machines as well as troops helpful for raiding enemy bases. This will make sure each group has a healer and if they attack together, then your army will have multiple healers for raids. You don't need to go over kill with the priests but one for every group of troops is certainly ideal. Being immune to all spells, the Spell breaker has multiple abilities that make it perfect for countering any negative buffs cast on your troops or stealing positive buffs from enemy troops. Spell Breakers are the perfect troop to kill enemy spellcasters.
