WBC3 was pretty fun. It and dom3 are the two fantasy war games with the most variety of options available. Lots of different races and magics. And the voices in there were cool - if you've played the Lost Spires mod for Oblivion, the boss voices in there are all ripped from WBC3.

WBC3 tended to have terrible multiplayer balance, at least at higher hero levels.

In WBC3 1.03 (the last official version) the most powerful race was wood elves. In the unofficial patches (1.03.23 was the last in the sequence of unofficial patches aimed to improve multiplayer game balance among other things; there are also other unofficial patches aimed at other goals but they were less popular) which race was most powerful was a lot more ambiguous but I was best with fey on that version.

There is a fan-made alternate campaign available (different plot, campaign bonuses, missions, etc) by the name of Conquest Campaign if I recall correctly.
