The Tauren Chieftan in the game claims that "Only two things come from Texas, and I've got horns".The game features at least three references to Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war film Full Metal Jacket: In chapter 7 of the Orc Campaign, your tauren units will eventually encounter a lizard named Hungry Hungry Lizard, a pun on the old board game Hungry Hungry Hippos.These units are Zerg Zergling and Hydralisk and Terran Marine.They can be accessed from included map editor or at the end of the last campaign. Blizzard put three Starcraft units into the game.However, due to various reasons (one being that the game was turning out to be very similar to their MMORPG, World of WarCraft which was being worked on as well), the camera angle was scaled back and the game was turned into more of a traditional RTS with some RPG elements.įor those who ordered this game from (now ), they got an extra WarCraft III DVD that contained all three trailers for this game, plus the cinematic trailer for World of WarCraft. The game was in more of a 3rd-person perspective (which you can see if you zoom the camera in all the way), and you would explore with your hero (camera fixed on him), completing quests and defeating your opponents. Originally you exclusively controlled heroes, with your extra units being "attached" to them. Although some RPG elements are still present, many were cut.
The original idea was to make it a RPS, Role Playing Strategy game, incorporating both RTS and RPG elements together. The Burning Legion was originally to be a playable race as well, but due to the effect it would have on their appearance in the game (the idea of having to give them peon units and balancing them out with the other races would diminish their "all-powerful" image), they were dropped down to being non-playable.ĭevelopment WarCraft III originally debuted at ECTS 1999 as a much different game than the final product. The sixth race was never revealed, and the first to be dropped. The game was originally to have six fully playable races.
