But Warcraft II really has the best soundtrack ever in RTS genre! This brings back so many memories and it just makes me wanna play Warcraft II once again =)

This song popped up in my head every now and then and now I know what it's from. I used to watch my Uncle play WarCraft 2 back in the day.

we need the old horde kind of death knights back in WoW

[@Max1234qwert]

They would make a cool Necromancer spec for DKs

[@Gigameth89]

They were Warlocks. A more timid version of the spell used by the old Horde's Warlocks to become Death Knights is essentially Soulstone.

[@agaeus]

This is a theme of conquest.

[@k85]

Wouldn't say so. This is more like a theme fit for observing the regular hustle of an Orc war camp. Very everyday orcish sort of vibe. This would fit a lore video about the Orcs as background.

Blizzard used to say "You want to be the bad guy? Here you go! Now go kill those humans!" way better than "WE WERE THE GOOD GUYS ALL ALONG AND MISUNDERSTOOD"

[@SuperNormalMan]

Well, now Blizzard is the bad guys instead.

[@theoutlander1411]

Well they were both the bad guys and misunderstood, Blizzard fucked with the lore. If you read the old lore and clicked on the Orcish units, they are more like a warmongering Barbarian tribe that used evil magic than consciously evil. Their gods and leaders were evil or at least power hungry. They were too primitive to really be evil conceptually, the average Orc was doing what he believed was right. Not to say they were crying tear Indians in tune with nature like they were later portrayed, but their society didn't really have a philosophical concept of good and evil but right and wrong and they adhered to that. I wish Blizzard stayed with that conception of them, it would have made them interesting in Warcraft 3. They'd have reason to be hostile to the Humans and Night Elves while still forming pragmatic alliances with them like they did with Alterac.

[@ub3rfr3nzy94]
