Procyon Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Anyone knows why the siege units have change their model and name?? For example: The orcish catapult to orcish demolisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Leaf Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Anyone knows why the siege units have change their model and name?? For example: The orcish catapult to orcish demolisher.Ahem, ahem... The orchish demolisher has some special attributes, and it can deal more damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 why? i don't know exactly. The steam tank has anti air now too i know (and different name), demolisher is also somewhat better than catapult, especially with the upgrade. meat wagon is the same. And the ballista has changed into a glaive thrower which doesn't seem to have many differences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyborg Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Anyone knows why the siege units have change their model and name?? For example: The orcish catapult to orcish demolisher.The orcs are primitive folks, and are more likely to call their catapult a demolisher, I think, thus the change of name.

Procyon Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I knoow that they have changed their attack/model/name, but why? ??? Why didn't blizzard left the model and nemes as it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I suppose they could have changed it to make it less like the undead meat wagon. And it is more likely that orcs would call a siege weapon a demolisher over a catapult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowzeewee Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Remember in Warcraft 2[am I correct?],the humans had a unit called a ballista?Maybe the NEs' siege unit has to change its name so that it wouldn't sound like it was copying its name.As for the orcs' catapult,I think Khan is partially right.The other point that makes it fully right is that catapults were not only use for siege but for supporting the frontline troops as well.Did you notice that the human gyrocopter's name has been changed to "flying machine"?Do you know why?It sounds better called a gyrocopter... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Leaf Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I think it's because "flying machines" are not so public in World of Warcraft, so nobody actual knows what Gyrocopter means..."Wee, flying machine!"or something like that in Warcraft 2... Lost the CD. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areyouforit Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 ooh i was in the beta. (yes blizzard emailed me and gave me a cd-key)and i got it and i got halfway through story mode but then backedup my comp and then just stopped playing campaign my nick on there is WardenX by the way.

Terror Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 Well, on the other hand. In warcraft 2 the orcs also already had a catapult, so it's not logical to call it a demolisher now. I think the glaive thrower is more logical, as it is a special night elf weapon, the huntress too uses glaives.In warcraft 2 the gyrocopter was piloted by gnomes, in warcraft 3 they are dwarves.... perhaps they call it flying machine? But these are no facts. Ask blizzard what they intended with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Leaf Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Gnomes? I thought they were dwarves. But there was Dwarven suicide units, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror Posted September 27, 2003 Author Share Posted September 27, 2003 correct, there were dwarven demolition squads, and dwarven gryphon riders. But the flying machines were piloted by gnomes. It's full name was also "Gnomish Flying Machine" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procyon Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Do you know why the W3 trolls (not creeps) are blue, and in W2 they were green?? And why the ogres and goblins are not in orcish horde in W3? ???It would be cool if you can build frigates and destructors ships from the shipyard, not only transports.

Terror Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 you can get frigates and battleships in war3 TFTThe trolls are blue as they are not the forest trolls from warcraft 2. These trolls are the river trolls, another race actually. (there's also ice trolls)Ogre's and goblins are no longer in because they don't see fit to aid the orcish alliance anymore (nor did the forest trolls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
