WAR update



This time, Alterac Valley. The Battleground for when you reach level 51.
Essentially a copy...ahem... omage to DoTA and Rival Nations I would say.

(Is my link to rivala nations the right one? They seem to have change a lot)

Anyways... For those that played those mods... mainly stynky... you can see on the official webpage how in this battlegroud lets you arrange armies for assault like in the mods, also you can upgrade your units like you did in Rival Nations, and upgrade yourself like you did in both.
However you don't win by destroying the enemy stronghold but by killing the enemy general... who is in a stronghold :P

This weekend is Alterac Valley weekend which means bonus honor for those who play and thus, more games to play arround. This is good in AV since this battleground requires 40 ppl on each side.... Yes, 40, not 10 like warsong gulch, or 15 like Arathi Basin, but 40 players on each side, so it could be a nice battle everytime, that could go even better if all those damn 7 out of the 8 million WoW users had played some strategy before.
I say this cause with all the possibilities that the battlegrounds gives you to make and organize assault, all you get is 40 ppl rushing to the enemy base and start hacking and slashing untill they might get the general.... /sigh

I might go out and yell... "You lets try and summon the elite unit" ... and all i get in replys are... " &^$% just come here help us kill the general noob"
/sigh

Still from time to time you find one that has played Warcraft and also agrees on helping you at least upgrade our defense units.

So with all the good and bad... I'm going to AV since one of the rewards is an epic mount, and I still need to learn more from this battleground.

40 people on each side!! Wow, it looks like an epic war! However how about the gangers! with 40 ppl on each side I assume you get lots of gangs... so you might as well stay always together in groups... hmm... Also what are you talking about arranging armies... Rival Nations and Dota never let you arrange armies. Oh yes, and I do remember that quote of Lord Henry... I think it is very true :-P

It is kinda epic war, however u will rarely see the 40 on each side fighting at the same time.

Yeah u better not run alone, unless going to your defenses... otherwise GANGBANG.

Remember that Rival Nations let you upgrade your units? get new ones and so on and so for? I know ppl invested more on their heroes but from time to time you bought army upgrades... u still can not control them but you kinda arrange what army u want.


I'll have an edit soon since I got into a game that summon the ultimate unit.

And yeah Lord Henry RULZ...
