The wooden pieces seem to be the number one complaint about the game. Personally, I don't have a problem with them as it is a board game and not a miniatures game. Hopefully, FFG will be releasing an expansion that has miniatures.

The wordless cards do have some additional benefits. Their abilities can be changed by the scenario. Also, errata becomes more easy to implement.

Right now, several of the cards and the special abilities are unbalanced. Heal rules the battlefield, followed by Slow Poison.

The primary discussion on the Yahoo group concerns re-balancing the abilities. Once everthing is re-balanced, it is a simple matter of reprinting the back cover of the rule book and including it in future expansions (as well as online).

I did not find the rule book to be poorly written.

The game is not based on Warcraft 3. It is based on the entire series. Heroes and critters are only important in WC3. Also, the vast number of different units is pretty much unique to Warcraft 3. The first 2 installments had a very limited number of units.
