Warcraft III Interview (Bill Roper)

Und schon wieder ein Interview (engl) mit dem Meister Bill Roper über Warcraft III. Also denn schaut mal bei Zone.ru vorbei.

Hier die Soße:

Zone.ru: Have you started balancing a game? What would be the main things you would really concentrate on? For example maximum number of heroes, inventory size etc… If not, when will you start doing it?

Bill Roper: We started a little bit. We will come closer to it when we will release close beta. I am sure there would be some minor limits. But you won’t see this mechanical production anymore. You won’t have chance to create as many units as possible and just throw them into enemy base. There would be fewer units, but they will be more powerful, with their own characteristics, strengths and weaknesses etc… You would really have to think about how to combine different units together to earn a victory. You would have to play smarter, use different combinations of units and different strategies. Heroes would play a bigger role as well. And all this is something we really want to balance. We already came to a point, where maximum number of units is naturally removed. The inventory size is not really an issue for now, this is something that takes little time to fix.
