Nope not apple to oranges apples to apples, how is gameplay more in-depth I see areas where it borrows from Battle Realms heavily. Sorry for offending, but people need to get the facts straight. Totally different team, engine, and concept. Besides, that was Blizzard North who made that. (Plus the are much better than the $$ Gamespy servers)Īnd whoever said WC3 is like Diablo, needs to get a clue too. But Warcraft 3 has far more characters, in-depth game play, and story. It's like someone trying to compare Command & Conquer with Age of Kings.

But you aren't sending your Orc to an archery booth to upgrade into a Super-Orc Knight, and eventually a Samurai Knight. But I wouldn't say they are the ones who set the standard for the way RTS are made. Give Liquid credit, it's got gameplay and it is beautiful. Screenshots of WC3 and gameplay was seen almost 2 years before anyone saw Battle Realms. BR about less than 2 years prior to release. You obviously haven't noticed that WC3 began development almost 4 years ago. How can this be a Battle Realms 2 or Battle Realms Ripoff? Because Battle realms used 3d with a isometric view but you can rotate the camera and zoom in, and art style is totally different than warcraft 2. I really believe that game changed RTS games and the direction of WC3 there are way to many similarities with battle Realm and a year is plenty of time to take and polish someone else's idea it's easier than coming up with something from scratch.Īnd your wrong about Warcraft 2 it was 2d pixel based RTS, Battle realms uses polygons giving it a distinct style. I'm not saying WC3 isn't a great game it's pretty cool, but I like to give proper credit to the people who did Battle realms. That's true but blizzard changed development on WC3 half way thru and evry game get's announced preview with screenshots somewhere. in many ways, both seem to be natural evolutions of the graphics of the RTS genre. this is not to say that WC3 was 100% not 'influenced' in some ways by battle realms (we'll never know). You should find screen shots of WC2 (and even Starcraft) - battle realms seems to have copied and extended/updated the graphics, much like blizzard did with their sequel.

WC3 has been in the works for a long time. a tad difficult for blizzard to simply 'copy and polish' it and release WC3 so soon. They do look similar (having looked at several screen shots of battle realms).
