As someone who played Warcraft II for over a decade, I'm happy for the remaster as it plays really well. However, they really messed up the online. We lost so many basic features, that make it almost unplayable. Can no longer host private lobbies, The host cannot kick people out. You can't use map settings making any custom maps not work as intended. There's no out of lobby chat. And the worst loss is that in the OG game, if you didn't have the map, the game would automatically download it to your map folder so you could play. Now, the game just tells you you cannot play, and you have to go track down the map manually and manually install it.

Question is "When does a QoL improvement become a balance change?". Workload of the player is part of balance. As an example, they could have also included auto-cast. Bloodlusted ogres has been the meta in War2 for years. Managing to catch the opponent off-guard without lusted ogres could make a huge difference. Add auto-cast and that wouldn't be a danger. Same goes for selecting multiple buildings. The way War2 has always been you had to click through all your production buildings one by one and start unit production. This even has an impact on building placement ... you would want to have all you production buildings on one screen if possible. If you had a control group with all your buildings like in SC2 you could quickly start up the next round of unit production while being busy in a fight. You can do all of these things but I'd argue that it wouldn't be WarCraft 2 remastered but WarCraft 2 Reimagined.

They gave me all of that, and let me group an additional 3 units per hotkey. It's everything I wanted or could have expected, and no one seems satisfying.

What I really wanted most was wide-screen support, zoom options, and being able to see health and mana without clicking individual units. It's also nice that you don't have to create a save at the beginning of every campaign mission to replay them in the future.

Have the option to create 256x256 maps in the editor, instead of the maximum 128x128. 3. Make the map editor better, with triggers and stuff. 4. Make is so you can cast spells when you have multiple units selected, like in Starcraft. 5. Improve the balance of the game, bloodlust was always too powerful.

Incredible that you can overlook baked in zoom out, widescreen support, increased unit cap per group, and displaying health/resources on the screen so you can realistically heal in the heat of combat with Paladins. You talk about how "easily" those things could be implemented with no knowledge whatsoever of what the limitations of the code base are. They would likely have to create both UI and underlying mechanical frameworks to accommodate queues, rallies, and shift-clicking, and none of that is necessary. The Starcraft 1 remaster could have added a bunch of QoL as well (selecting multiple buildings at once, better pathing, etc.), but it would have fundamentally changed the game. Warcraft 2 IS no queues, no rallying, no shift-clicking. It IS units getting stuck standing at trees because they can't be bothered to look around. it IS peons not seeing a tree in 10 feet and standing idle because they couldn't possibly find any trees anywhere else. I would have been severely disappointed if they did the things you wanted.

As I found out about this remaster I was excited. 14.99€ for Warcraft II - no problem. But then as I saw how it is upgraded, I started to think that maybe I dont need it. Still, it is not expensive and I still like to play "war2.exe"... But I have bought this game from GOG and I saw there was a HighRes-patch. With that patch the old version from GOG is about/almost the same as this new remastered version. It has been super cool to play the GOG-version with the patch, it just adds the high resolution and I see the whole map on my monitor - kind of scales everything smaller right? And the thing is that I want the map to be small, now with this new version the camera is still quite near the units and they do look beautiful now. Can you zoom out in this remaster?? And again 14.99€ is not much, like nothing, same like ordering one/two beers in a bar. Those will be pissed away in an hour but Warcraft would still be in my library. Maybe I will buy this to my library...
