Question by JamesGeiger · Oct 20, 2016 at 08:00 AM · 2d3d

Warcraft 3

I am building a unique RTS game, but am very very very loosely using Warcraft 3 as my reference in terms of how it was made. A few questions:

  • Is Warcraft 3 a 3D game? or is it a 2.5D game?

  • Is it possible to build an RTS game in 2D and have great graphics?

  • Will building it in 2D save time?

  • Is Unity 2D or 3D a good engine?

Thanks

1 : Warcraft 3 is totally a 3D Game

2 : You can create a RTS Game in 2D, graphic doesn't matter just gameplay do ! you can have a real good game with low graphic or have a shitty game with really good graphic. in my case I prefer good game low graphic

3 : don't think so because you have to calculate the movement of your player for the 2D texture. In 3D you can use the 'transform.LookAt()' to define the direction of your unit and after move them.

4 : Unity 3D is totally a good engine to create a Warcraft 3 like.

Have a good luck for your game.

I think point 3 was about development time and not about performance.

true ! but I think it's more easyer to develop this type of game in 3D than 2D
