What is new in the graphic engine?
A. We have redone all the terrain; it is a lot more colorful and not as washed out as in WBC. We have added a particle effects system, which is used for blood, spell effects, missile trails and interface feedback. We have added a decal system enabling armies to leave footprints in sand and snow as well as splash when walking through water. We have re-rendered every building, changing most so each race has a unique graphical feel. We have added new effects for common abilities such as assassin, poison and disease. The lighting effects system has been upgraded to run faster and better allowing more use of lighting on things such as spells effects and fireballs.
