KKND, Age of Empires I and II were fun as hell. Dune 2000 kicked so much ass. Warcraft II was fun, but the imba bloodlust sucks the fun out of it, even though invisibility has no counter humans get raped before they get to tier 3. And there are a hell of a lot more fun RTSes out there than WCII | ||

Some of you may remember that Starcraft was originally based off of the Warcraft 2 engine, and was pretty close to completion. It was only after the backlash from the community - i.e. Blizzard has just gone and made "orcs in space" without any substance - that Blizzard completely redesigned the game to what we have now. there's some screenshots of what it looked like here: http://sclegacy.com/editorials/34-general/270-starcraft-evolution | ||

And max selection was 4, not 9  But did seriously warcraft 2 not have control groups? I think it had but i'm too lazy to install just to check  There were shortcuts for move and attack as i remember. Dune 2 didn't have shortcuts for exemple and selection was 1 unit only :p EDIT : Fuck me i quoted a 6year old posts because the new color doesn't show you how old the post is >< On February 22 2016 19:14 thezanursic wrote: Necroing this thread because I need help.

It might be a Keyboard layout issue; LIke Control Groups were on 1 instead of & or something like that | ||

Also I tried other commands such as alt-M for turning music on and off, all of that works, control groups don't. I dunno what's up. Did WC2 only have control groups in the latter editions and I accidently downloaded the wrong one? | ||

One is Warcraft II : Tides of Darkness and the other is Warcraft II : Tides of Darkness Battle.net edition (iirc). I think the Battle.net edition includes "Beyond the dark portal" | ||

It's still one of the classic RTS games out there, but once you've played brood war all the others tend to become stale (aside from wc3 tft). | ||

And getting from Grunts to Ogres without getting killed or getting them later than your opponent is quite the challenge. Building placement matters a lot! they can help create chokes or concaves (buildings have relatively high hp, and not many units can attack them at the same time) game is not dead at all | ||
