Rebuilding Warcraft 3 in the dota2 editor is a fun yet ironic idea, the press would have a field day with that one... don't know how doable BW will be because of the game engine but we will see. Damn intellectual property issues. | ||

first of all, losing a building is not an option, i think its pretty retarded if you lose a building early/mid the game gets near impossible for the losing team if the winning team doesnt waste their money. towers are slightly too expensive/useless in many cases, some towers are awesome while others are too situational (elf towers vs human and orc towers) frozen mushrooms hard counter nearly every single beginning flying unit rune of repairs cooldown is too long -- making some races too strong if they're ahead some of the hard counters are way too strong in many situations making some buildings overpowered in some and useless in others (red/blue shield generators versus death pits, hex towers, mind control; frozen mushrooms as stated before) some buildings are pretty garbage in general or are too expensive/situational for what they do (towers of ruin, world freezer, tower of destruction) i think double damage and quad damage mechanics should be explored to encourage team pushes as well. | ||

I think it's good losing buildings kills you, castle fight should not devolve into late game all the time. You should lose if you get greedy and get hard countered your first 3 buildings. There are individual hard counters, but racially I never felt there was an impossible matchup. | ||

There are individual hard counters, but racially I never felt there was an impossible matchup. the armor one was limited to aoe and only basically useful on legendaries or synched units, dd and quad were nice but i would like more pushing buffs in the game and one for defense the problem with such hard counters is that those races become way too limited, why would you try building death pits or medusas shrines (whatever they're called) when for basically the same cost and less lumber they become absolutely useless to build? same with frozen mushrooms, its very hard to actually utilize any air composition against frozen mushrooms. thats when the game gets strategically frustrating since what you can build is becomes so limited at such an early stage. for example, trolls are usually good against air units right? well the thing with frozen mushrooms is that you basically get a free net every 5 seconds that is global!!! losing buildings should be bad but its way too much, when a building dies you already lose production and ability to fend off units, but then the bounty is ridiculously high when you lose a single building early on, basically what you get form that is like killing 10 or more of what hte building builds (non legendary) in one swing. its just too strong. | ||

Don't Starve is definitely based off one of the survival maps (one with trolls) in war3. | ||
