I just have to chime in here. [img]tongue.gif[/img] There's usually only going to be, in any strategy game, about 6-7 decent strategies. And when the period of exploring is over, everyone's going to be using them. I'm willing to bet that most people here can't manage the sheer amount of units that will be present. Therefore, multi-tasking will be essential. Micromanaging each unit becomes pointless, as it seems like units are killed very quickly. Can you use every single ability of your heroes, switch formations in battle, apply units to their best potential, etc., while keeping up production? The one who can manage these things the best will win. And that requires experience at clicking. Not only at putting your hero at the right spot to use the ability, but also to manage many different groups of creatures.
However, what I'm starting to dislike about this game is that from what I can see of it, it seems to be a quick kill, quick production game. [/QUOTE]Jotin first: Yes the single player is all of the Trilogy and you can play either side =)
Assassin: You are right, though don't you feel Warcraft has a few more strategies due to its complex addition of heroes and special abilities. This game will have SO much more complexity making at least a great deal of strategies feasible I think.
What I like about this game is not only its focus on experience and emotions but also on its unit management.
Each unit is 100 smaller units that act on their own, but can be overrided to do one thing. Heroes operate like Warcraft but with a Neverwinter nights interface.
I think its LARGE armies ALLOW more TIME for mouse clicking, unlike Warcraft III where everyone is half dead in 4 seconds and restricted to 20-30 units only. So every decision is critical. This one is more forgiving. Infact I would like to think this is a game where battles are won before they are fought.
