nah i dont think it would sell out cos people will compare it more to warcraft 3.
hence people will say it a warcraft3 clone.
You see thats because every medieval game that comes out consist of the 4 most commonly used races which are the humans, elves, orc and undead.
As far as im concerned, i only enjoyed warcraft because of its storyline. Im a firm believer in storylines. The make the gamer more attached to the game. Now i believe warcraft has seriously gone to the dogs with the Dota crap.
I believe if the medieval warhammer was unleashed it would kick warcraft off the charts. However to do so, the relic team would need to put some serious thought in it.

the medieval version? hmmm, with so much stiff competition from Warcraft.... and the unique way of resource collection in DoW.... how would they want to introduce a more efficient way than the 2?
a strategic points in a medieval setting may not fit.
Well firstly instead of SPs, they could make it settlements. They would begin with a HQ like DOW and create structures in your HQ area but the key to the game is conquering the settlements(this will give the game realisticness as in those days, armies was gathered at your main base and not all over the place.)which will give you map control. These settlements could consist of other races which are neutral until they are captured and the creatures in the settlements would protect their settlements. After capturing these settlements, gold would be generated by the amount of resource buildings created in it. You could also create other structures like defensive buildings or army producing buildings which creates creatures which can be found at that settlement.
By doing this, you could have one settlement, totally dedicated to creating money while the other ones in the frontlines consisting of army creation buildings.
I believe this might work as Warhammer(medieval version) has quite a number of races and by implementing this kind of gameplay they allow all the races to be played. you could even cycle the races. What i mean is when youre playing a major race like the humans, you could set the map to have ogre settlements, You would only be able to attain ogres by conquering that settlement and if youre playing ogres as your main race, the settlements could be humans offering calvary.
Well i have more ideas for strategy games, just trying to fit myself with the skills that will allow me to unleash all these ideas to the world.
Well let me know what you guys think. Im sorry if i offended any Dota fans, i didnt mean too.
