War Wind is a 1996 real-time strategy game in the vein of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. It was developed by DreamForge Intertainment and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. It runs on Microsoft Windows and used DirectX 2.0. A sequel to War Wind, titled War Wind II: Human Onslaught, was released by DreamForge and SSI in 1997. Both games were digitally re-released on GOG.com.
Some sites list the release date of War Winds as Aug. 24, 1996 while others say Sept. 30, 1996.The most recent file on a War Wind CD bought in the U.S. in January 1997 was Oct. 10, 1996 (as is the date stated in its version 1.0 README.TXT), but this could have been an updated CD release.

I remember playing this on my father's computer in 1998-1999 :) It was so enjoyable, kinda wish they made a decent HD remastered version of this.

[@dennisweiss6621]

This looks vaguely familiar. Wasn't this the game where you send your workers into the baracks to train them as soldiers instead of just building soldiers as in every other game? It was an interesting idea, albeit a bit cumbersom, but it game a sort of "war efforts" feeling, when you converted your entire workforce into soldiers.

[@jrmloh]

Battle Realms also borrows the same concept with peasants training in their respective structures and giving you the option to train them in other structures to create other units.

[@Kaboom15c]

Same thing was in American Conquest

[@KnotsOfWonders]

Sound design was 10/10 especially for all the aliens.

[@Nebula_Protogen752]

Hello. When I installed the game in my Virtual Machine, it only gives the the option for custom scenarios and multiplayer game. and when I do play a single player game, it just gives me a victory screen without me doing anything. what can I do to play the game like u did?

[@kinggerr7093]

I found an original cd copy from goodwill. Will the steps to run this work the same?

[@thafex2061]

looks like "Victory" from Topware, also from 1996

[@Chikiwikie]

Oh man I searched for that game for years. I couldn't remember the name. finaly. thank you.

[@poppers7317]

looks like that small indie game "Warcraft 2" *War*wind/*War*craft...

[@517342]

@@poppers7317 The funny thing is that this came out before Warcraft 2. It looks very much inspired by Warcraft 1.

War wind esa a beatifull game AND the ww2 has a great mission creator.

[@patrickvasconcelos3001]

now that this and older RTS game are on GOG I wish I could mod then, they are still sweet looking but they require some serious balances update. THat and a few of then have some annoying bugs on Win 10.

[@Victor-dt1uq]

Yeah .. just replayed War Wind from GOG a while ago. First of all you have to mod and hack a bit to make it work on Windows 10, GOG should make it work right out of the box. Otherwise I would say that this game just isn't very enjoyable (not as I remembered the demo as a kid). It is slow, frustrating, have terrible path finding and and is not very fun to play. It falls short compared to Warcraft 2 or even Warcraft 1. However, it has really cool esthetics and lore (and music). I actually found a page that has sprites for most of the War Wind units. It would be really cool to remake it and give it some improved gameplay and UI. However, I don't think I would have the time for it (I've worked on several RTS games before).

[@mklizzar]

Hardest mission in game.

[@Leny1777]

I put this on full screen cinematics and I cannot play it anymore I need help

[@leanbacksfinest]

how you play it in full screen?>

[@Absentence]

is there any fix for game crashes under win 10 in gog version?

[@FeelingShred]

Now I get why the game is free on GOG LOL

[@FeelingShred]

Any fixes to run the game?

[@adamwarlock9220]

Old School

[@vinaris6885]

Interesting seeing units walk over forests, instead of trees as obstacles. 'Could add depth, such as trees providing cover from ranged attacks, or hiding units in forest a bit, some units such as elves getting a bonus when in forests.

[@oak1550]

This came on a demo disc with HOMM2

I only played War Wind 2 - and that was excellent!

и эту игру делать бесплатно?? обьясните мне идиоты зачем ее вообще делать платной??? в 96 году в эту .. даже не играли из за это Аркен и минус.... сука как сейчас помню как на мозг этот звук давил ...

[@BozsoGabor]

Developers back then did not give a fuck or what? Hearing 2 lines over and over got tiring after like 10 seconds. Could not they record at least idk....5-6 more? Even for an old game this is just trash. The game looks kind of shitty even for its time. They give away on gog this for free, but eh....i guess I'll pass.

[@whatdothlife4660]

They had no money

Better art direction than 90% of modern games, it's gorgeous.
