I do hope you are joking about all of this. By complete re-imagining Blizzard was speaking about the single player campaign including all of the models and artwork. They have already spoken on the subject multiple times regarding the fact that the game will be compatible with WC3 Classic as well as compatibility for WC3 Classic map to be ran on WC3 reforged and vise versa.
You can see HERE they had to upgrade and continue upgrading the old school client so that it could be used in conjunction with the new Warcraft III Reforged client in multiplayer / ladder games.
Modifying any base game functions such as upkeep, max unit selection, or etc would change the base game which would have one of two results:
- Now WC3 Reforged players get an advantage over WC3 Classic Players
- They will modify the original WC3 Classic experience changing that game as well.
Both situations are not good situations to be in since they have already stated that their primary goal is not to make a new game, but create an updated experience with a Completely Re-imagined campaign, new models, and compatibility with WC3 Classic.
A bit run on, but I personally don’t enjoy the selection cap and how upkeep works and you don’t see me crying about changes needing to be made. These are the things that make the game how it is, how it functions, and the primary separating details between WC3 and SC2. So no… even though I don’t like the Upkeep and the selection cap limiting to 12 I also feel like it should not change. Because these are the things that make Warcraft 3 well… Warcraft 3.
