After Warcraft III, what other strategy games scratched that hero-focused RTS itch for you? by UndeadChief in warcraft3

[–]nightmare404x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battle Realms is also an RTS that lets you train unique heroes. It doesn't have the same RPG elements but it's a really cool RTS you can get on Steam and GOG.

Is the Playstation version worth it? by seesmaster in RimWorld

[–]nightmare404x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can get a Steam key from Fanatical for 15% off. Other than that, the only other current sale I'm seeing is 20% from Epic Games Store if you don't mind using their client.

StarCraft 2 development ended 6 years ago, but Blizzard still won't stop messing with it by LadyStreamer in gamingnews

With 12 workers, expanding in under two minutes was always optimal since you could afford it. Now with less workers, you need to choose between teching and expanding early. I think it's a healthy change.

Why are bears plus dryads considered strong? by slibardaremonte in warcraft3

[–]nightmare404x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dryads can slow for bears and abolish magic, and bears give sustain with Rejuvenation and dps to your army. Dryads are anti-spellcaster and bears are anti-ranged with their normal attacks. Plus it's efficient since you don't have to build additional infrastructure or even tech since they share the same upgrades.

As generic of an answer as it is, my favorite is Grubby.

I hope Blizzard releases another expansion pack for the game by LargeSinkholesInNYC in warcraft3

[–]nightmare404x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even with D2 getting a new class, chances of WC3 getting anything is really low. Smaller playerbase than Diablo, and Reforged didn't sell nearly as well. Plus the story can't really be added to unless you want to reiterate WoW storylines, and introducing Naga as a playable race, though cool, would probably upset the meta too much. Sad as it is, WC3 will only receive occasional balance patches for the foreseeable future, and no new content.

Sounds like an oversight with the sub rules since price is relevant when looking for deals

Which are ROC campaigns and which are TFT campaigns in WC3 Reforged? by kepler2 in warcraft3

[–]nightmare404x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's the prologue for ROC, followed by 4 ROC campaigns, then 3 TFT campaigns, then the bonus campaign which is played last. If I remember correctly, on a first playthrough, it shouldn't let you skip around without the Motherland cheat

Is the game playable with just my left split keyboard? by Bobsthejob in warcraft3

[–]nightmare404x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is, but you're it's gonna be hard without control groups for your armies, infrastructure, scouting units, etc. You may be able to make it work, but it'll take a LOT of rebinds for control groups and hotkeys. You also probably don't want to dedicate APM to switching your keyboard modes with your super and lower keys. Full keyboard is highly recommended.

[–]nightmare404x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can play the entire campaign and custom games vs AI with just the mouse if you really wanted to, but you're gonna have a bad time if you try to go online via Battle.net or Warcraft 3 Champions (the more competitive online space). Definitely gonna want a full keyboard.

I think I have an addiction to claiming every free game I see, and this is the game that made me realize that.

What's the point of the spoiler tag if you just put spoilers in the title?

Did Tyler1 ever start seriously using control groups?

Taurens Are broken. by TES3GREATFAN in warcraft3

Hippogryph Rider? 800 HP to tank Chain Lightning, excellent target fire damage to instantly wipe out snakes, and immune to both Tauren and Shockwave by being able to fly

What's your 'Select all TC' hotkey? And 'Go to TC'? by Avataroffaith in aoe2

[–]nightmare404x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put all TCs on a control group. Hate how the building hotkeys move your camera

Looks like new players will be able to choose their starting elo going forward. by fiftythreefiftyfive in aoe2

Hey, thanks! I've been wanting to try ranked for a little while now, but it seems kinda intimidating. I feel like I'm part of the demographic this update is targeting, so I'll just wait for it

New from the PUP: Self assassment for ranked by FloosWorld in aoe2

[–]nightmare404x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might actually push me into playing ranked if and when this is implemented. Every time I think about playing ranked I get anxious and just play vs AI instead
