i'm not very good on all the little details and all but each race has a new hero and all races can build a building where you can buy stuff from so its like your own personal shop,they all got new things you can research and new units like ne has Mountain Giants big ass things that can pick up trees and use em as weapons and theres new neutral buildings where you can hire heroes and transports ship (boats) if u want i can go into more detail for a specific race

What you just said might be an understatement. The game is much different. It adds a whole new twist on Warcraft 3. Here are a list of some notable changes:

1. Items have become more useful and readily available at buildable shops within your base.

2. An additional hero for each race and 6 or so new neutral heros.

3. Food limit increased to 100.

4. Heros can only gain experience from creeps until they get to level 5. Once they reach level 5 no more experience is awarded for creeping.

5. 2 new units for each race (one being anti-caster, another being a strengthening unit that helps cover up the weaknesses in each race).

6. Wands of Negation removed.

7. Everything costs about 10-20% less.

8. Upkeep levels have been raised by 10 food respectively.

9. All features added by the 1.10 ROC patch.

10. And most important of all, it is more fun than ROC.


Because of these changes the game's strategies have changed a lot. It will take some getting used to but I think it is worth it. Blizzard really made this game a lot different than ROC. They made casters not as powerful (even though bloodlust still can cause problems). It still has an ROC feel but the game is more like an RTS now. You must buid your force, get a variety of units, expand and protect your expansions. Before, in ROC you would just creep until your heros were at level 6-8 and then attack. In ROC whoever creeped more would win, this is not always so in TFT.

I would recommend getting this game, believe me it is worth it.:D

I mentioned some of my 10 most noticable upgrades.

But yes that has been changed too. That is because blizzard wanted people to actually dwell on the first tier for longer than: "I have enough money!"

Hmm, But you said as number ten it is more fun. that is an opinnion is it not? Many people find ROC funner because you can tech. if you find it funner, doesnt mean it is an upgrade

I just thought of that now. I shouldn't have put that in there since it wasn't really a fact. It is only my opinion. However....I do believe that TFT is still fun even though Teching has been nerfed. I often despise teching because I hate it when someone comes in with 8 siege tanks (ROC) and destroys my base even though I had better heros than him. It was too easy in ROC, but that has been fixed.

that is whyy you need to scout. Tanks really suck, you need to counter units like that. heros mean nothing.

In ROC heros meaned quite a bit. The reason was once you got them to higher levels they were usually unstoppable. With TFT there is a barrier to creeping experience. I have to admit though, that was back when I didn't scout as much. I actually did scout the guy eventually (hopefully to kill him off), but it turns out he had towers everywhere and I couldn't get near him. By that time it was too late.

That hero exp thing was a relief after you could triple hero creep and get up to 6/6/6 in record time. Man I hated that happening.

I too hated when we would all congregate together for the Battle Royal, the decider of all fates, and my Heros' combines where only lvl 6-7(1 being 4-5, the other 2-3) and I thought I was doing good...then i met players who had 2 Heros, 1 was lvl 6, the other 3, then he did his Ultimate...man it sucks when it's a dangerous Ultimate like Avatar or Meta. But, I must say I learned alot from those replays. Noew it is I that has a lvl 6+ Hero by the time one of those battles start.

i personally been left down by FT. i mean..the cinematic of the ROC was much superior. the first into with illidan(look at pan's sigitar) is pretty cool...the only cool one..and the last one was his acending...how lame was that?

and no orc campaign...they goota be f..ing kidding me! i want thrall!!!!!!!!!!!!

and who wouldn't guess who the winner was? it's in the book...linch and his campion.

the campaigns are not well balanced..sometimes u get it too easy sometimes is nearly imposble to do it...

there are too many new thing u gotta learn in a very short ammount of time.

like learning a whole naga race in just one mission (ne one)

the game itself...provides planty of twists and it has an intresting plot..until....the acending.

and the whole aromour and damage changing is so..confusing...is nothing like ROC...light aromor take extra from pierce...is that a joke or what?....

the map...in the custom games..some they look they have been done by first time users or the worl editor...they need some grooming...and I think they sorta run out of ideas...

u can swear that kil'jaeb guy...one of sargeras captains look just the same with archimode...different colours.

the nasty thing is u can choose 4 heros..but u can use only 3...i mean they could at least give u the option to use all 4 is u wanted to. if u can micro 4 heros...why not?.

the beast master....it's so cool in the orc bonus campains and such a joke as extra hero...he doesn't even have the spells he has in the original campaign...bleah!

ok..I think i am done with the negative stuff....

it's not bad..it will provide u the novely...and u have to learn to play once again.

ued-colonial..orc sucked in air since roc and I doubt they would do any better in FT...they have a strong attack ground unit.

U know i barely use the new extras...

for ne i use the spring well upgrade and the mount giant, for us the obesian statue and the cript l;ord make a pretty decent hero...the humans...spell brakers..but not that often...dispell slow and poly is still the best.

the new heros are rather week..i still prefer DH as first choice instead of the warden.
