Player Consequences: WAR games, part 2
Oct 21st 2008 8:57PM (Massively)One other way to put it is WoW focuses on battle at the tactical level whereby players must micro manage their characters action to maximum effect.
Warhammer is more about grand tactics where the movement of your entire team is the focus. Consequently the combat is much simpler allowing the player to focus more on what is going on around them in the battle.
As far as battle goes you didn't mention AoC. The thing distinguishes AoC is the fact that all melee attacks, heals and many spells are aoe and positional. This, along with the collision system gives an importance to things like your position relative to your teammates and the importance of formations in battle.

But this article above takes the efforts of the developers to improve their game and puts it down for deviations from the IP.
I am all for opinions of AoC, even though they may be negative, as long as it is a fair evaluation.
