Warcraft III will not be yet another build-buildings-and-amass-forces click-fest, but rather what Blizzard calls an RPS, or "role-playing strategy" game.
Rather than building hordes of units, you'll instead work to recruit and build-up smaller, more powerful groups of heroes and troops. As in an RPG, you'll interact with non-player characters, battle wandering monsters, and journey to new towns. However, there will still be the overarching strategic goal of battling and defeating enemy races. The game won't play like Baldur's Gate, but battles will be on a smaller scale than in traditional strategy games. Six different races will be featured, including Orcs, humans, and demons.
