I only said I liked it better myself.
I personally actually hated the "set number of units wandering around" types of levels, as found in WC1, WC3, and Starcraft. I just got bored. I mean there wasn't much in the way of strategy in those levels. It was just "look around this corner, now kill those guys, now around this corner, okay more guys" and occasionally I found a pocket of extra units for myself. I dunno, I just didn't see the point in adding those levels. Generally when those were finally over and I could get back to the real game, I was always happy.
Oh yes, and as you might imagine, I was severely disappointed in the Orc campaign in Frozen Throne. It felt like an MMO, meaning "boring". I mean seriously. They TAUNTED me with those structures and never having a chance to actually build anything. I just ran around a map killing things, and in a RTS where individual unit play is rather boring except in the form of group strategy, the whole point of the game, it was actually worse than playing an MMO with only one player. I only really played it to see the story, but they kinda screwed me out of the orc "introducing new buildlings and units" stages that they were supposed to include. At least I saw the units...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
