Various WAR-related Images

Racial Pairing Zone Setup

• The numbers represent the different tiers.
• The asterisks represent the capital cities.
• The black lines show zone connections.
• The blue zone begins neutral.
• The vertical line of zones on the right is the campaign.

The other racial pairings will most likely follow an equivelent setup. The official image it's based off of can be found here.

Zone Seperation in WAR
















Zones in WAR are seperated into distinct areas for PvE and PvP. In this example, the blue areas represent PvE-only areas, whereas the red areas represent PvP-enabled areas. The PvP area seems to be seperated by water from the PvE area, to help seperate the two. There is also a warning countdown when you are about to enter a PvP area - just in case.

This is most like a lower-tier zone, as it's been said that the game will begin at roughly 80% PvE / 20% PvP, and end at roughly 20% PvE / 80% PvP.

WAR vs WoW - Graphics

Due to the stylized nature of both game's graphics, WAR is often compared to WoW in terms of graphics (if not said blatantly that WAR "copied" or "stole" WoW's graphics). WAR's graphics actually show a heavy basis to the style shown in the table-top game by Games Workshop, which has honed it's style for far longer than Blizzard or Warcraft has been around. Penny-Arcade has also created a glorious comic on the subject.

If you compare the two side-by-side, the differences become apparent. WAR's models are clearly more detailed (both in texture quality and polycount) and their 'next generation' status shows. Also, the color tones of the Warhammer world tend to be more muted than the often highly-saturated colors of the Warcraft world.
