Talk:Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

From WoWWiki

When you buy Warcraft 3, there is a face of one of the four races on the front. I' guessing that their names are:

Human face:Arthas

Night Elf Face:Tyrande

Undead Face:Kel'thuzad

Orc Face:Thrall

The pictures races' rulers.

the orc is not thrall beacuse thrall has much more beard on he's chin and he has no nose ring. I think it is grom hellscream



I just played the game first time, and I was VERY impressed by it's cinematics - as few as they were. This kind of quality is rarely seen even now, let alone a game that is at least 5 years old, nearly ten. Anyone got any juicy info about them? Like how long did they take to render with the equipment available back then or something of the like? --RocketBrother (talk) 17:52, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

A friggin' long time. Every hair, blade of grass, and speck of dust was individually renderedAoW 24. In fact, the main reason they didn't talk of a movie until very recently was because it would take decades to achieve that sort of quality with pure CGI with the tech used for WC3.AoW 120 --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 17:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Mechanics inspiration

This article, or the expansion article, needs a section for skills and abilites and sound clips and icons, or at least a mention of such, that were in WC3 and got carried over to WoW. For example, the concept of hero classes, the classes themselves (Death Knight, Paladin, Archmage/Mage, Druids/Druid of the Claw/Druid of the Talon/Keeper of the Grove) and the entire Arthas/Uther/Jaina clip in the CoT:CoS instance and the spells cloned from WC3 Inferno (Dreadlord), Metamorphosis (Demon Hunter), Holy Light (Paladin), Starfall (PotM), Tranquility (KotG), Death Pact (DK), Unholy Aura (DK), Blink (which comes originally from the sorceress in Diablo II, then to Eul in RoC DotA, then to the Warden in TFT), Death Coil (DK), Mage portals (Mass Teleport from Archmagi), Force of Nature (KotG), Entangling Roots (KotG), Thorns (KotG), Fan of Knives (Warden), Blizzard (Archmage), Water Elemental (Archmage), Mana Burn (Demon Hunter), Immolation (Demon Hunter, passed to Warlocks in metamorphosis) so on and so on.
