[edit] Dark Knight

Since when has Garithos been a Dark Knight??? It said so in the article --Richielin 12:00, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

On one of the Undead campaign missions in TFT, you can use Garithos, and it specifies him as a "Dark Knight." (Note: not a 'death knight').

[edit] Strange Glitch?!

Who the hell wrote that? That English is awful! Need fixing, badly (and I don't really have the time to do it, hench the posting of it here.) --ACE Spark 22:36, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, im just deleting it. It has nothing relvant to being on Wikipedia at all. Feel free to reverse this - but if you do - AT LEAST fix the broken Engrish! --ACE Spark 22:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spellcasters vs. Anti-Spellcasters

According to Mojo StormStout's Warcraft III Strategy Guide, anti-spellcasters are designed to fight spellcasters (see Spell Basics page). Anti-spellcasters include the Spell Breaker, Spirit Walker, Dryad, Faeire Dragon and Destroyer. Recently, I've corrected the Spirit Walker's description from spellcaster to anti-spellcaster but it got reverted back to spellcaster. I can understand the reason.

If the description uses spellcaster, then it would be consistent with all the other descriptions of units (nowhere else does the article mention anti-spellcaster) and it would simplify all the spell units as spellcasters. If the description uses anti-spellcaster (which is more accurate), then it would be the only anti-spellcaster description, possibly confusing readers. To avoid confusion, perhaps the other descriptions of anti-spellcasters could be reworded, or a separate section could introduce anti-spellcasters as something new to the Frozen Throne. Any thoughts? Is it even necessary to make the distinction between spellcasters and anti-spellcasters? I won't change it back to anti-spellcaster unless someone suggests otherwise. --ToKnow 14:42, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Spirit Walker is not an anti-spellcaster at all, by definition the Spirit Walker is not "designed to fight spellcasters". Of the three spells that the Spirit Walker has, only one could be considered an anti-spellcaster spell (disenchant). This is the same as the human priest, three spells, one of which is a disenchant spell. The human priest is not an anti-spellcaster, and neither is the Spirit Walker. The orcs don't have a anti-spellcaster unit, becuase that is the nature of their race. --Spazm 15:21, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I know it's irrelevant now, but it can be argued both ways, given that Mojo StormStout's Warcraft III Strategy Guide is inconsistent. Of all the spellcasters listed (no one would argue that the priest is an anti-spellcaster), the Spirit Walker has different stats than the rest. In addition, they also list the Spirit Walker as an anti-spellcaster. So they're both? Whatever, of course, it doesn't really matter anymore. Thank you for correcting me. --ToKnow 03:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion Name

It should probably be noted that the name of the expansion is "Frozen Throne", not "The Frozen Throne".

If one carefully looks at the logo, one will see a very small "The" next to "Frozen Throne." But it is more interesting to visit Blizzard's Warcraft III: Frozen Throne product page. The title (referring to the HTML tag) of the webpage is "Warcraft III: Frozen Throne," but the product description bolds the title "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne." Personally, I believe it is "The Frozen Throne." In addition, many gamers abbreviate it as TFT, implying that it contains "The." However, I'm not really sure. This is just a comment. --ToKnow 23:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Rhys-Davies

He makes a noteable appearance in the game.

This sort of thing can be put into the List of pop culture references in Warcraft (I'll get my edit right yet...). Altair 14:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Um, where does he make an appearance? I haven't heard of this. Is he voicing one of the dwarves or something?

[edit] Merge

See Talk:Dark Deeds JASpencer 19:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• I say just delete the Dark Deeds article as non-notable clutter. There's no reason to merge. JimmyBlackwing 20:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Agreed. Though, if it must be merged, it should be merged to the custom maps section in the Warcraft III article. Altair 15:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advanced Melee AI

There was a recent edit by 194.250.20.206 to include a link to a website which is about advancing the AI in Warcraft. I'm not sure this merits inclusion. I'm not removing it, yet. Currently looking up policies about the threshold for external links.--Htmlism 20:37, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Upon review of the website in question, I've decided that the link should be kept. The website seems to be a valuable resource, albeit for a specific part of the game. Only the link text and description were cleaned up.--Htmlism 21:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Additions

In the Additions section, is it really necessary to list all the new units/buildings or just the player-controllable ones? --ToKnow 02:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Patch info?

"However, many of the game's players preferred patch 1.14 or 1.17 and subsequently stopped playing the game once the game was changed." This claim in the Development section of the article is stated without reference and appears to violate NPOV. I'd like to advocate removing it unless anyone has a compelling reason to leave it in.
