The fact that there was never a warcraft 4 means we are in the worst timeline 😢

[@JVDAWG1]

It would be very difficult to one up WC3. They should have completed the naga and demon playable races for single player at least, perhaps as an apology for deforged.

[@Doost311]

@@JVDAWG1 I don't think it would be that hard, sc1 was a pretty great game and sc2 was still kickass, its just about taking the formula and cleaning up the flaws while modernizing. The hardest part is going to be reverting blizzard back to a company that can pull that off

[@gabrieleomaggio1461]

I'm sure it' a money issue. A former Blizz employee said that the first shiny mount for WoW made more money than Starcraft 2, which was an AMAZING game. RTS unfortunately requires a lot of effort to develop and play (and has a lot less potential players around), and there are much safer and lucrative alternatives for a company to make money. EDIT: Also the lore of WoW has evolved so much that an RTS game would be just weird to play, and require a massive level of lore catchup for players that didn't play WoW

[@lfarrocodev]

Wait until blizzard is sold/dissolved and the IP is handed to someone else. You DON'T want current Blizz to be ahead of the project

[@julianlora_]

@@chaferraro that was indeed hilarious to watch XD He still plays competitive style and so triggers events when he pushes ahead to scout before his base is stable XD

[@synthetic240]

I think a really neat bit of continuity that went forward into WoW was that the siege of Lordaeron was from the south across a large body of water. And on the WoW map that would actually make sense. The Silverpine Lake is there and there are a number of islands in the middle.

[@Gorvinhagen]

How would you expect them to attack from the north, anyway? All significant powers and sensible travel routes are all to the south.

[@synthetic240]

@@Gorvinhagen Exactly.

[@KnownAsKenji]

WoW was nice and soulful until about 20 #$)$(#$) years later.

[@fartkerson]

@@KnownAsKenji First few years of WoW were the best years. It was still a wide open mystery and you weren't cranking through 9 expansions worth of content. City sieges and open world combat were glorious things. Battlegrounds had long queues but each one was meaningful and everyone you fought was someone you had personal beefs with on your own server, rather than unknowns from cross server. AV battles could last for days and it felt like you were in WWII, changing of the guards, sleeping, then logging back in to grind away at the enemy, hoping you hadn't lost ground over night. Rallying troops to push for a tower take down. Every dungeon was a new experience that you had to figure out, as there were no actual strats formed yet -- until they were, but if you were in a small guild you could easily have been in a small bubble of your own discovery. It felt like you were breaking new ground. The world was massive but not as cavernous as it is now, so it felt more personal. There was a clear order of play, from the various wings of the Scarlet Monastery to Sunken Temple, Maurodon, ZF, and Dire Maul. Blackrock Mountain was the place to be, after doing your Strat and Sholo runs. Getting attuned to MC -- it all felt like a clear path and everything felt well rounded and meaningful.

[@Deatheragenator]

Fun fact: You can use attack ground to kill subs without detection. You can guess the location pretty easily biased on where their projectile comes from.

[@chaferraro]

If the unit has attack ground. I believe Destroyers won't have for example.

[@KLNDR]

*lands a massive host of Ogres and Catapults accompanied by Ogre Juggernauts* *gets hit by single griffon* Hahaha gg man, that's crazy how well the difficulty holds up.

[@oconsd]

I'm loving seeing the use of a mix of units to deal with all the different enemy units and buildings.

[@snuffeldjuret]

22:19 seriously, wc2 is so bada** with the permanent polymorph spell. I miss when games had powerful spellcasters like that.

[@RexUnionum]

I found the Orc final mission quite a cakewalk. But I did play the Human campaign through before that, and I had huge problems with their final mission. Compared to that, nothing before or after felt difficult at all. Still looking forward to trying the Beyond the Dark Portal later missions. They say they are quite a ride...

[@KnownAsKenji]

Move people, farm a bit, move more people. This is basically every 90s RTS last mission. Warzone 2100s tend to be a gigantic wall of stuff.

[@hansschmidt148]

Great nostalgic videos. I do not remember the final missions as hard though. In my memory, I just mass produced the most expensive unit and rushed everything with it. But maybe, this is just my memory clouding what it was really like.

[@MrMerithra]

Original campaign was like that, yes. This last mission? Just produce dragons non-stop, a squad of 9 will kill most of the base if anything is left send another one

[@snuffeldjuret]

42:05 I wonder if that has something do with what version you are playing. When I tried to play last time, I found one that had good aggro and attack functionality but was a bit laggy, and one that was smooth but erred in the former.

[@mccoyrj452]

Genuinely I just rushed out a bunch of Axe Throwers and Grunts as a kid and worried about upgrades once I could stabilize. Guard Towers help distracting the harassing troops. I just mashed barracks and spent a ton of gold lol. But yeah that last mission is NUTS

[@tobiaspause1775]

which version is that? because im pretty sure the one i played as a kid had an unit maximum of 50.

[@benjaminkurilla3943]

Haha, no. Wait until you see the last orc mission of Beyond the Dark Portal. You have to cleverly dispatch a seizable human base at the start, or you wont have enough gold to finish the mission. They will starve you to death.

[@nevelis]

This fucking level, man... I'm triggered just by the starting minimap. ZUG ZUG

[@andrewj1754]

The fact that this is supposed to be lorderan, and it doesn't use any walls, and not all that many towers always made this mission feel anticlimactic to me. I wanted to destroy a proper city, which yes we did to Dalaran the previous mission, but I just wish they put a bit more thought into the design or Lorderan.

[@Sorenzo]

Actually, catapults + death knights would be good. The death knights just zap the paladins the moment they reach the catapults.

[@josephbrodeur6956]

Use attack ground on your juggernault ships to destroy submarine even if you can't target them.

[@Broockle]

Would be awesome if this was Lake Lordamere. North of which would be Lorderon and south would be Dalaran. Also considered Loch Modan in the beginning.

[@jamesdupray306]

Can you honestly say, with no corporate strings attached, what your favorite blizzard game is? If it's sc2 because of the campaign, i am with you. If it is something else, i would love to hear why

The base game was cake compared to Beyond the Dark Portal, too. I remembered struggling only a few missions into the orc campaign in Beyond the Dark Portal. I don't think I ever beat it, maybe I should go back now

[@bruinfan05]

Pls do the other campaign too

[@KnownAsKenji]

*reads every name in the credits until art department and then just stops* Artists always suffer.

[@commmarine9547]

Not sure why using a paladin is a noob play. I remember playing the original RTS when they fisrt came out, although I am rusty 30 years later, I have played recently. I am not saying I am better, just a different play style. I have beat this game with waaayy less losses typically. Catapult with no front line is why you took so many losses since catapults can't hit the tile in front of them and any adjacent or following catapults that can fire will splash damage all your units around that tile, which means constant losses. I do play slower since I retain my units for as long as possible, by pulling units back to heal, especially as the Human alliance.

[@valerypeev5399]

I used only dragons and won last orcs mission without problems

[@LucasVogel]

idk if you ever read these man but I'll say I look up to two people and just two people. And that's you and Anthony Bourdain

[@bakanur]

if I remember correctly, the last human campaign mission is actually considered to be MUCH harder

[@danielgibson3422]

Ya it is considerably harder.

[@gssuper1438]

i'm pretty sure 'a' move actually isnt a thing? its attack the ground where you press. not attack whatever is in your way

[@BuffedPotato]

I remember I've beat last orc mission by "war of attrition", killing griffons and whoever came to my islands without losing own units till enemy ran out of gold. Yeah it was kind of a cheese tactic, but I was happy either way

[@perrymeril]

War1 Slowest speed lmaooooo, also caster spam 2 was copious amounts of archers/trolls and dragons/gryphons

[@matthewgagnon9426]

The reason boats and catapults take so long to fire sometimes is they attack REALLY slowly, and I'm pretty sure every time you tell them to attack the delay on their attack gets renewed.

[@joysegames]

it doesn't get renewed. but targeting a new unit on their own adds a small delay. this happens to all units, not just catapults. it's like everyone needs to stare at their target for a bit before they start attacking. manually targeting a unit skips the need to stare their opponent down.

[@chaferraro]

​​@@joysegamesexplain again,plz! I have so much trouble managing battle ships, dragons/gryphons and catapults! They do not move or shoot! What's the best way of managing them?!

@@chaferraro nvm I was right. watching a game right now and I was accurate. but it's a very small delay. I'm bad at the game I just know some technical details

[@tranquero]

For some reason, this mission is a core memory for me. I still remember that weird start going south next to the mountains...

[@DelPlays]

If you go to ruins of the Lordaeron on the island (in world of warcraft), it still has the same mountains blocking you from Silverpine Forest side. Obviously this versions is very simplified.. But the map still somewhat matches to WoW

[@lagg1e]

I remembered the shape of the map when I saw the huge square area bordered by water. The citadel of Dalaran. Unlike all other human fortifications, the shape doesn't even pretend to be natural.

[@SilverKnightPCs]

Mission 1 was to build 4 farms and a barracks. Every mission has that first lesson in mind lol

[@Sully907]

"the catapult taking damage is actually great" This is what we call foreshadowing ladies and gentlemen

[@LounoirRecords]

WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!!! ZUG-ZUG STROBU

[@nicedream1001]

friendly fire is a real thing from catapults and dragons. You were hurting yourself as much as the enemy.

[@jadoyon]

Sean didn't learn from the other missions that you need to be very efficient, and that constantly building things you don't need like extra peons or farms just means you will lose. Static Defense is also super cost efficient in this game. I have 1/4 of his APM and didn't have a problem with most of these missions as I just didn't build stuff I didn't need and held off their waves for just repair money.

[@dirkgoodman4282]

Plz do beyond the dark portal and play human campaign

[@X3MgamePlays]

Thank you for calling me and others RTS pros. But this mission is actually very easy. If you continue the campaigns, you will find out.

[@iyaerp8489]

Honestly, I always felt that the final Human mission was harder.

[@andrewhill3969]

i recently re-beat this game. nothing is hard. not this mission.... nothing. its actually a joke. Try getting every campaign achievement in SC2

[@Sorenzo]

I actually feel bad for the king of Lordaeron, they really have a bad habit of being killed in their throne rooms...

[@LpSC2online]

it is really painful that Day9 did not build a lumbermill right away, this would have given him such a resource boost

[@davidhaaijema4521]

Sean made me buy wc2 to cure my nostalgia lol. Final orc mission I sincerely didn't find that difficult, I just barred the north side of both bases with plenty of arrow towers and some cannons. Maybe some catas behind them (turns it into a meat grinder). Final mission is resource plentiful so you can mass whatever units (fully upgraded) you want, in the end I made 6 roosts , 40 dragons, and kept sending them to the enemy island. Eventually it fell. Now, Dalaran is another beast! The mission before last was harder for me because gold is scarce and so massing dragons is not so viable, iirc oil is also scarce and far away behind enemy lines, so not a good option. Almost didn't make on gold trying trolls, catas and dragons. PS: My RTS skills and APM sucks.

[@BillDaBigChief]

I beat this whole entire game with just ogres and trolls lol.

[@Jamiethekatz]

"Heal is better than bloodlust" Go look up the math on Bloodlust, it can triple damage in fully upgraded scenarios. Because surface area becomes such a limiting factor in WC2, bloodlust can get absolutely out of control strong. Those same groups of axe throwers with bloodlust would kill knights before they even close the distance.

Has any other gaming series had a bigger impact than Warcraft? Warcraft 1 was the first RTS game, which in itself is huge, but it resulted three extremely important and genre defining spinoffs. 1. Starcraft - the most popular RTS game and the game that basically gave rise to E-Sports as a thing. 2. DOTA - people often forget that the original DOTA started as a mod in Warcraft 3 and it spawned the entire battle arena genre (ie League of Legends). 3. World of Warcraft - While WoW may not have been the first MMORPG, it is not only the most successful and popular MMO of all time, but possible the most popular and successful game of all time. Three extremely impactful spinoffs.
