What would you like to see in Warcraft 4?

I'm starting this topic to find some fresh ideas, and I hope to get lots of replys, even if you don't have an idea of your own, a comment on another's idea is just fine...
Personally I would like to see Warcraft 4 have only three races. For starters this would solve many of the issues formed in Warcraft 3 team games. Its a simple fact that some races work better together than others and this is an issue I find in meele games (to avoid it I stick to 1v1 matches). Three races could be balanced against each other much easier than four; and would allow each race to be built with more DEPTH than is apparent in Warcraft 3. Another thing I would love to see is a player adjustable ai to help with microing. In larger battles it becomes difficult to flip between groups of casters and use them effectively. All spells should be able to be put on "autocast" having a mini ai decide when best to use them. (thats my biggest problem; but maybe I just lack skills) The other thing I would absoultely NEED in order to be willing to purchase any Warcraft 4 game would be a diverse map editor. User created content has made Warcraft 3 better than any other real time strategy game, (my opinion), and I would like to see it continue into future blizzard games. The final thing I would seek in a Warcraft 4 game would be a compelling story.

3 races?!?!? That would suck.

Heres a list of stuff I think they should add:

1)Playable Goblins
2)Playable Forsaken
3)Playable Trolls
4)More Natural Units (such as gorillas and tigers etc.)
5)Advance Buildings (Such as walls and other things
6)Maximum of 500 Food (Default 200)
7)Ore Resource
More Units
9)More Buildings
10)Last, and most importantly, Better Gameplay

EDIT: Fuck BEs, go trolls!

HARDLY site discussion material, but regardless...

Heroes with equipable items ala WoW. In order to stop the ever-so-asked "ZOMG HOW I EQUIP?"
Pirates. Many pirates
New tilesets of fun iwth more customisability
Better trees
Wood, Oil and Gold as resources. The good ol' trio
SHIPS
Peons/Peasants pushing catapults
Blood Elves not on the Horde
Various expansiony things
Varying nice buildings
Animation controls for Doodads

- Less n00bs... i wish they could actually change that...
- 4 races is fine, we dont need any more
- like mech, I say "NO BLOOD ELVES ON THE HORDE!"
- again, I agree with mech that it should have Pirates
-... actually everything mech said is good
- oh, and 3 resources is fine (gold/lumber/food), the more resources, the more confusing the game becomes

How many threads have there been about what people miss in wc3?

I can remember at least 6

Incase you did'nt know last time I check blood elves are perfectly on the horde. Go read the lore until your eyes bleed .

I think he ment, make warcraft 4 before WoW:The Burning Crusade... at least I did...

Something mentioning that Blizzard is going to continue adding onto Starcraft and Diablo

What made wc3 my favorite map was not melee like all you want it was custom gaming.

I want the game to be made for making custom games!
That would have better preformace and allow 100s of diffrent orignal melees to be made.

Firstly an unlimated bnet hosting limate but a 4 mb dl limate (after 4 mb you cant join if you dont have the map).
Advanced map support (random map scipts and bigger tile palets for pre made maps)
Sector loading(For RPGS and allows them to be infinatly huge by loading only whats in the near facility and not the entire map).
Customiziable spells (proper spell coding for even better game stability).
Customiziable recources (can set the number and names of recources ranging from 1-15).
Customiziable interface layout (can arrange how many and where icons to cast spells are and how they are cast).
Advanced easy modification of game engine (Allowing for less demanding grid like maps and ff combat systems).
Multyplayer game chache support(no more 52 diget unsafe code systems)
The ability to get locations of the mouse and such for FPS style maps.
No limate on the number of custom values on units.
Easy merging of parts of maps.
External provider support for making rpgs with 30+ players and stoping people hacking rpg chacter.
Advance item system support (diablo II like systems and such with minimal effort)
Included modle editor for amazingly simple modle making (no 100s of converters or skinners)
I could go on making a huge list but I believe most people would like the ideas mentioned above.

Remove the 4mb limit (but maybe put a warning, like THIS MAP IS OVER 4MG)

Items cosmetically show on heroes

Maybe multiple models per unit type (eg 3 dreadlords on the field, with different shaped horns and wings or sumthing)

allow increasing food limit etc

LOTS of units, nuetral or not

Unit editor in the WE - like character creature on, say, WoW, where u armour the units then dump them back into WE

Dark Storyline

King_RyanIncase you did'nt know last time I check blood elves are perfectly on the horde. Go read the lore until your eyes bleed .

So. You're saying that you believe that the demonic magic hating Horde would accept the biggest magic users around, ALONG with saying that the arrogent Blood Elves would LOWER themselves so much that they would choose to join with a group they would call primitive uncivilised brutes, most of who have either attacked or had relitives who attacked the Blood Elf lands in recent history?

Why not just say the humans will ally with the Naga who are destroying their fleets and coastal ports? They're both the same ammount of crime against the lore

while ya at it how about remove the undead from the horde v_v
anyway as mecheon said having the ships back is the most importent thing i recon but at the same time i would like to see an increased amount of flying units but something that would realy help, removing auto-casts because it makes noobs think their good when they have no micro because they rely on auto-cast >_>

Only 2 things I really want to see in Warcraft 4, that is :

1. A good and LONG~~ story.

2. A full detail World Editor, with a Model, Icon and Texture Editor inside the World Editor, that way we can make a full custom map without importing custom models, skin or icons that can increase map size.

Heres a geat idea you need to hear

If your heart is set on three races,I suggest picking three of the following:

1-Dwarves Not only because they are stout,and great for a melee race,but also it goes along with WoW where it says the dwarves have prospered since RoC.Also spellcasters,some seige,and Intelligence based Heros could be gnomes!A Dwarf\Gnome Race would be great!Please consider this!Thier are many skins and models 0f Dwarves and gnomes on this site

2-Dranei.Not the Dranei from TFT but the new ones from WoW.Have you seen them?They look great!

3-Tauren.Having a peaceful race that,when threatened,can crush their enemies.Also their is alot of models\skins of Tauren on the site.If you want a storyline to start off for them,why not this...
The Venture Co.(from WoW) have begun to make hostile moves to take Thunder Bluff.Your tribe,the Dusthoof Clan must find out why they have begun the hostilities
and try to put a stop to it.(After that,you could entertwine this story with your own)

4-Trolls.If you want a fast building\techng\upgrading race,why not trolls?They can be a geat ranged/spellcaster race.There are many models\skins of them in this site too

5-Blood Elves.As much as I hate this race,you might like it.If you want a elegant race for your story with a troubed past,pick these...elves.Who knows!it might work!

If you use any of my ideas give me credit
