Hate to be this guy, but your high APM looks very forced and not very futile... I feel like you would be better served being more deliberate with some of your mouse movements versus a lot of random wiggling and repetitive clicking. Good luck out there. [edit] with that being said, would be awesome if you put a link into your description for how we could connect to this particular War2 server. So far, I've only found the Russian version (which my USA ping is surprisingly okay most games).

I have no aim to reach any particular apm and enjoy my meaningless erratic motion thoroughly, but I do invite you to 1v1 and if you win, I'll consider taking tips from ya. 😆 Like imagine if I critique the way you do certain personal activities with the same exact words "looks forced, futile, lots of random wiggling and repetitive movements" wellll just may happen that you like it like that and it's not really my business how you enjoy yourself lol. Only when someone has proven themselves to be solidly my superior in the game, as in capable of 10-0 in sharkfight will I feel he has earned the right to be attempting coaching. Np lol. Maybe that's you. Remains to be seen.

Is there a way to edit unit stats so that it affects multiplayer games?
@w2babyshark3 ай бұрын
If you edit unit stats like hp or sight or build time in map editor, you can make them "take" in the map for multiplayer games by hosting "use map settings". Most common way to host is using one peon start setting. With one peon start, even if the map maker added buildings or units to the map, they won't appear in the game in that mode. You can also do "fixed order" and uncheck "one peon" start. The host will be red player, 2nd player etc.

Might be a dumb question but i am curious, why do Warcraft 2 offer over WC3 and SCBW/SC2? If you want a RTS without the heroes of WC3, i assume SC2 and BW are far better games compentive than WC2. So i am just wondering what WC2 does since there are a small but very active playerbase that sticks to WC2.

In this case I wanted to pscout and find out if there are enemies nearby, as with less familiar maps I find it useful to start getting the lay of the land as soon as possible and see what opponents are doing and where they are located. Then also if the pscout finds another gold mine, he can start a second settlement which is useful in low gold scenarios when your first gold mine is very small and will run out soon or try to interfere with enemy town as I did there.
