Adding units for campaign

There are plenty of iconic units from WoW at this point that are closely tied to locations or events in WC3 that would be great and lore friendly to see added to the campaign. Units like dire trolls, arcane golems, wargen, gnomes w/ their machines, dwarven infantry, vykrul in Northrend, and modern forsaken under Sylvanas.

They would be great additions on campaign maps like arcane golems defending Dalaran and Silvermoon and encountering Wargen from Arugal with the night elf escort mission in silverpine forest. I don’t know if they have the time to do this but considering the opportunity they are taking to combine WoW elements with WC3 that these and maybe others would be a good additions to flesh out the world.

Somehow it has to tie in with lore at the time of Third War and the events of Frozen Throne.

Yes detail like this would be nice but not likely happening.

They are remastering 2 games and upgrading the world editor, battlenet/ladder/servers and balancing gameplay.

Likely this is not a priority but a reskin of a rock golem wouldn’t be too hard… Depends on time. Worgen might be a new unit so I don’t know same with Vrukyl likely not happening.

Well, I wouldn’t say it’s that unlikely. Sure, it’s not confirmed or they haven’t really said anything about it, but as we have seen in the Culling demo, they are possibly making quite some changes. Granted, Culling is probably one of the most changed maps, but I don’t think adding a new unit here and there would be very unlikely. They are remodeling everything anyway, might as well do a couple of extra reskins and models.

They will be added, I feel like in most cases it will alienate how the game actually feels though.

Look at the demo for the stratholme mission, sometimes when you killed houses you saw a “demi hero” spawn, an undead unit.

I don’t really feel like putting demi heroes everywhere will help the game, the game is meant to be a strategy game over anything else and having units be generic helps on figuring out what amount of units to use for certain tasks at a glance.

I’m speaking out of experience, if any of you has played Azeroth Wars in the past, you’d know how counter beneficial it was for the newer more inexperienced editors, to start adding wow locations and characters into the game, it took away from the focus of the game, which was warcraft 3, and started adding tons of wow related things.

Yh a few more units arent hard to make.

A pleb like me can take a ghoul; reskin, change sound, animations, and stats to make a completely new unit in around 20 mins.

I would like to see Worgen from Blizzard not some low quality custom model.

Like LuckyOwl said it take a small amount of time to reskin, resound, restat a unit to make a new one.

Hopefully we see some new units.
