And the hero-focused gameplay brought in roleplaying elements, whereby players were encouraged to hunt down “creeps” on the map using their characters to build up their strengths while simultaneously upgrading their tech tree and defending their base. For the first time in a Blizzard RTS, the characters and buildings were represented by 3D models rather than two-dimensional assets. The game expanded beyond Starcraft‘s three factions to feature four - the Alliance, Night Elves, Orcs, and Undead. But their meat and potatoes throughout the late 90s were the twin franchises of Warcraft and Starcraft. By the early 2000s, Warcraft had mostly been left behind by its futuristic follow-up - Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness came out back in 1995, and RTS fans had mostly moved onto the hugely-popular Starcraft. But then, on July 3, 2002, Blizzard released Warcraft III. Sure, they dabbled a little in other genres throughout the 90s, producing hits like Rock n’ Roll Racing and The Lost Vikings, not to mention the genre-defining Diablo. Additionally, the expansion contains Act I of a separate Horde campaign that is independent from the main storyline with Blizzard releasing Acts II and III via patch in December 2003, taking in player feedback of Act I when developing these chapters.Before Overwatch, before World of Warcraft, before Activision, Blizzard Entertainment was known mainly as a developer of real-time strategy games. The single-player unfolds from the perspective of two new protagonists-the Night Elf warden Maiev Shadowsong and the Blood Elf prince Kael'Thas-as well as returning protagonist Arthas Menethil. The Frozen Throne builds upon the story of Reign of Chaos and depicts the events after the main game's conclusion. It was released worldwide on Jfor Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne is the expansion pack for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, a real-time strategy video game by Blizzard Entertainment. It chronicles the combined efforts of the Human Alliance, Orcish Horde, and Night Elves to stop them before they can corrupt the World Tree. Warcraft III is set several years after the events of Warcraft II, and tells the story of the Burning Legion's attempt to conquer the fictional world of Azeroth with the help of an army of the Undead, led by fallen paladin Arthas Menethil. An expansion pack, The Frozen Throne, was released in July 2003. It is the second sequel to Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, after Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, the third game set in the Warcraft fictional universe, and the first to be rendered in three dimensions.
