However, the Obelisk can morph into a Devourer, a fearsome flying magic eater.Īlthough the new units don't do much to change how you play each side, they do offer a lot more magical interaction with your opponents. The Undead technically get only one new unit, the Obelisk, which can be used to charge friendly health and mana. The new Human Dragonhawk Rider can use his breath to disable enemy towers and the Spell Breaker is a versatile counter-magic unit that can debuff, zap spell casters, and snatch enemy summons. One of his abilities is ripping a tree out of the ground and using it for a fixed number of powerful attacks. The Night Elves get a Faerie Dragon who's perfectly suited for zapping enemy spellcasters and a Mountain Giant who's perfectly suited for just about anything. The Orcs get a Batrider who can trash buildings from the skies and a Tauren shaman who can debuff enemies from his invulnerable ethereal state (you can still hurt him with magic attacks).
If you did that, you wouldn't get to play with the new units for each side (along with the increase in army limit to give you more room for the new units). However, you can use a shortcut to go back to "Warcraft III Classic" if you ever feel the need.
Come to think of it, these are the guys whose expansion packs for Starcraft and Diablo II were like whole new games, so maybe it's not that surprising.įrozen Throne installs over Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, so it'll make permanent changes to your copy of the game. What is surprising is how much work they've put into it when they could have just thrown a few new scenarios in a box. After having sold approximately ten jillion copies, and that's just in Korea, it's hardly surprising that Blizzard is doing an expansion pack for Warcraft III.
