Warcraft 2 Geography: Beyond The Dark Portal | Orcs

[@ABuffWizard]

Mistake Alert; As people have pointed out, Mission 4 has a pretty glaring oversight. The mission takes place on Azeroth and even states directly at Nethergarde Keep. I think at the time of writing, I’d conflated mission 4 as being part of act 1 (as Act 1 is only 3 missions instead of 4, as per Tides of Darkness), this along with the tileset being the same as the other Outland missions and the animated intro map showing Hellfire Peninsula TLDR; I’m a hack and I need an script editor!

[@jessesturgeon5327]

It's weird how many discrepancies there are between the manual for this game and the mission briefings. It's like the writers did not consult with each other or had to rush to finish in time.

Mogor the Ogor... Nailed it!

[@yamazukas]

[@Roof5tone]

Ooh amusingly I was re-watching the other episodes just a week or so ago.

[@ABuffWizard]

I timed it perfectly then! Seriously though, thanks for your patience and your patronage!

[@Xel3_Keravnos]

I was hoping you’d continue the series!

[@ABuffWizard]

I will do the entire catalogue of RTS titles, don’t you worry!

[@jmrexzar7123]

​@@ABuffWizardi need continuatión

[@thomasleonardis711]

@@ABuffWizardalso hoping for continuation. This was a real enjoyable video.

[@mongrelchimera]

I’ve been listening to this series whilst fishing im literally in the same spot as @6:15 fishin up some gold darter haha I love Warcraft 2!

[@ABuffWizard]

Haha awesome. Hope you’ve been enjoying it!

[@mongrelchimera]

@@ABuffWizard yeah it’s been great! I never considered the maps would be similar, or something I didn’t really think of I gusss. But I grew up on Warcraft 2 so it’s been a great nostalgia trip and made me look at wow differently 👍

[@mongrelchimera]

So thank you for the vids! Hehe

[@onerimeuse]

Awe man, that ork voice and the music just gave me a literal actual flashback to childhood. Holy shit.

[@sethmurphy7243]

Kul Tiras would leave the Alliance eventually, just not until after the end of TFT with Daelin Proudmoore’s death.

[@LordThomasPassion]

NerZhul enters his new portal drunk on victory and ambition.... Only to meet Archimond and Mannoroth on the other side, arms folded in disappointment and disapproval. Now that's funny. (I'm a novice with the lore, so forgive me)

[@SilentViper]

This series is rlly great. Good job mate.👍

[@ABuffWizard]

Hey thanks, man. I appreciate it!

[@Shizuka965]

it is rumored that in lore, the region of the burning stepps used to be like Elwynn back in the days, a forest with large trees and plains, but all got sundered

[@haplo19]

Hey just wanted to say, this is really magnificent content. Your analysis, voice acting, jokes, everything. It's such an insanely niche topic or you'd have trillions of views, but it warms my heart that I can think "Huh, I wonder how much the geography of earlier Warcraft games lines up with modern wow?" and then find that another human being has not only had that thought, but produced absolutely an exquisite analysis of the topic. Very well done sir, so much thanks and respect.

[@ABuffWizard]

Well hey, I’m very glad that you enjoyed it, truly warms my heart to hear! _Great minds think alike_ and all that haha

[@arturmaxon2842]

I love the fact that in the first mission we meet Grom in both Warcraft ll and lll he is captured and we need to rescue him

[@ABuffWizard]

Ol’ Reliable haha

[@Bramandin]

Oh boy, this video is so cool and amazing! At first I couldn't understand why it has so few views, but then I remembered that the average attention span is that of a TikTok video (meaning half are less than that). This era was so insanely edgy and cool and the reason why I loved Warcraft. Todays wow is a pale piece of poo compared to this. Great video!

[@FlinnGaidin]

As a couple of others have mentioned, at 9:44 you say that mission 4 takes place in Hellfire Peninsula, even though the cutscene beforehand at 7:28 showed them crossing over into Azeroth and then the mission briefing at 8:36 also outright says where you are, Nethergarde Keep. Well done over all, though. Looking forwards to the Human BtDP campaign video.

[@ABuffWizard]

Pinned a comment explaining it. A giant oversight on my end. Cheers!

[@im_mirage_]

YES MASTER

[@TheStormMage]

Who did it?

[@abdd.challab7700]

My dear fellow, good video as always. However, I wonder why you assumed Mission 4 took place on Hellfire Peninsula and not at the Citadel of Nethergarde on Azeroth? The Act map shows the Dark Portal on Azeroth's side, as well as Nethergarde, Blackrock, and New Stormwind

[@ABuffWizard]

Cheers. Just a giant oversight in the scripting on my part. I’ve pinned a comment explaining it.

[@wheelsOG]

LETS GOOO!!!!

[@grekopithikos6007]

Are you going to cover the human campaign as well?

[@krakowcossack3344]

I just binged the entire geography series, and i'm sitting here wondering what happened to your voice for one video lol. Was this someone else or just some enthusiastic gusto?

[@ABuffWizard]

A bit of an evolution of the narration. My friend was helping me record for the Warcraft 2 videos and constantly pushed me to make it more bombastic with each installment haha

[@RexxarTheLastMoknathal]

please upload the last part of the human campaign greetings

[@alaksandutheexorkizein7634]

Next video when? 😊

[@jessesturgeon5327]

You have a mistake in your script. Mission 4 takes place on Azeroth at Nethergarde Keep, not on Draenor's Hellfire Peninsula.

[@ABuffWizard]

I sure do. Pinned a comment explaining. Just a big oversight by me.
