World Of Warcraft Gold Day/Ninght Cycle
Time of day plays a tactical role in Warcraft III. Night and Day times bring with them certain advantages and disadvantages. Orc and Human units regenerate during the day and night while the Night Elf units only regenerate during the night. Certain Night Elf units can become invisible at night. In addition, during nighttime, some Creeps go to sleep, and the sight range of your units decreases.
Day/Night Indicator
At the top of your screen, you will see a small orb that will transition from a sun to a crescent moon. This timer notes the passage of time from day to night in Warcraft III. There are 8 circles which indicate the time ticks for either day or night. Once all of these circles fill up, the time will change from either day to night or night to day. There will be a bluish glow for night, and a yellowish glow for daytime as well. When the day turns to night, you will hear a wolf howl and immediately notice that your field of vision is smaller on the minimap and screen.
Sight Range
The Day/Night Cycle affects the sight range of units and buildings. Units and buildings see more during the day and less at night. This makes scouting during the day and troop movement during the night ideal. The Night Elves can research Ultravision which allows them to see just as well during the Night.
Health Regeneration
Heroes always regenerate during night and day. The Day/Night Cycle affects the health regeneration for normal non-Hero units. Orcs and Humans units regenerate during the day or night while the Night Elf units only regenerate during the night. Undead units regenerate during both day and night, but only while on the Blight.
Spells
Some spells are connected to the Day/Night Cycle: Shadow Meld - Many Night Elf units are invisible at Nighttime. A Shadow Melding unit is only invisible when she is not moving/attacking. A Hero Item exists which gives a Hero the Shadow Meld ability at Night.
Night Elf players can also use the Moonstone item available at their Ancient of Wonders to turn the day into night for a short period of time. This will allow them to regenerate health and allow the Moon Wells to regenerate besides giving Shadow Meld to most female units. During that period of time, the Day/Night Indicator will have a purplish glow indicating that it is modified.
The World Tree and the Emerald Dream (9,000 years before Warcraft I)
For many years, the night elves worked tirelessly to rebuild what they could of their ancient homeland. Leaving their broken temples and roads to be overgrown, they constructed their new homes amidst the verdant trees and shadowed hills at Hyjal's base. In time, the dragons that had survived the great Sundering came forth from their secret abodes.
Alexstrasza the red, Ysera the green, and Nozdormu the bronze descended upon the druids' tranquil glades and surveyed the fruits of the night elves' labors. Malfurion, who had become an arch-druid of immense power, greeted the mighty dragons and told them about the creation of the new Well of Eternity. The great dragons were alarmed to hear the dark news and speculated that as long as the Well remained, the Legion might one day return and assault the world once again. Malfurion and the three dragons made a pact to keep the Well safe and ensure that the agents of the Burning Legion would never find their way back into the world.
Alexstrasza, the Lifebinder, placed a single, enchanted acorn within the heart of the Well of Eternity. The acorn, activated by the potent, magical waters, sprung to life as a colossal tree. The mighty tree's roots grew from the Well's waters, and its verdant canopy seemed to scrape the roof of the sky. The immense tree would be an everlasting symbol of the night elves' bond with nature, and its life-giving energies would extend out to heal the rest of the world over time. The night elves' gave their World Tree the new name Nordrassil, which meant "crown of the heavens" in their native tongue.
Nozdormu, the Timeless, placed an enchantment upon the World Tree to ensure that as long as the colossal tree stood, the night elves would never age or fall prey to sickness or disease.
