Back in 1996 my father owned a computer school (it was a thing here in Brazil), and my brothers, my father, mother and me used to play this game in LAN. My mother would always wipe out our asses with massive archer's armies. My father would prefer footman, my brothers and i would go techy, put up mages, but we were always crushed by my mother and father. Fun days...
my dad made a custom map on the mapmaker, but never played it. hew was a wetland scientist in New England. The map had lots of stone walls and swamps lol
just wanted to say I appreciate the fact that you skip through the beginning and how you add comments in a nice stylized caption box. it makes your games way more engaging to watch!
Ahh, War2. Frantic but relaxing at the same time! Mods, montage, unreal challenges and caption boxes are one thing, but it's players like you that are the real life-prolonging fuel for old games. Thanks for not forgetting about this gem after all these years and kudos for beating these comps. Excellent mage bomb delivery by the way!
@shaun Alan I think the Betrayal of Kerrigan and then finally re-uniting with her was more emotional in StarCraft and it also took from 1998 (last SC1 content) until end of 2010 (first SC2 release) until we finally went back to see the betrayal in full scale and what became of her and then until 2016 to reveal the whole story. However, I agree that WarCraft lore also was amazing, especially the original one and early days of WC3 / WoW where they sticked closer to it.
I have this game to thank for getting my own computer as a kid. I was playing this in the living room for years and the nonstop command audio is probably what left my parents buying me one for my room just to not here "Jobs done" "Yes M'lord" "Jobs Done" "Jobs Done" "Very well, Very Well, Alright , Very Well" "Yes?" "Hello" "Jobs Done" "Do You need assistance?" "Jobs done" for like 4 hours a day. 😂
I guess I could look up the map name when he shows it in the beginning. I feel like there was a time I had all the multiplayer maps memorized, but that feels like ages ago.
What a game! I love the blizzard spell sound and there was sure a lot of it in this video. I expected to see more ballistas (ballistae?), but mages and knights were enough. War2 micro is pretty compicated, but you make it look easy.
I didn't play WC2, even didn't play WC3, but it looks interesting. And I noticed that after the destruction of the pot-bellied giants, there is an advanced decomposition animation, which is not in other strategy games! Usually in other games it's just a puddle of blood or body parts, and then everything fades away.
@@StuGames the zeitgeist of the old Blizzard games will be with me always, it's irreplaceable and unbeatable for me. Let's not talk what happened in the last decade though...
Important to note though that that decomposition animation isn't just visual but is actually gameplay relevant. The death knight can reanimate corpses from killed land units but not directly after they got killed, only when they start to decay.
@@mumblecake251 Also, ogres and knights in specific have two decomposition animations, and their corpses can only be raised when the second one initiates.
Great video. The strategies and editing out the less interesting parts really made it. Also that AI mod seems tough as! I remember the default Sea Attack computers would stay in tier 2 and only make ships and basic land units. But here they are landing death knights and demo teams 😂
Nicely done,Stu!!!! And as I was sitting here watching this,I ACTUALLY found myself trying to click one of the buildings,then remembered I am WATCHING this on YT,not playing!!!!...lol.
I was young and really bad at this game i use to make custom maps and give myself an active ai ally or two with 1 peasant so I wouldnt end up accidentally recruiting my allies to my side. Its pretty cool to see someone do what I thought unthinkable as a kid and win a 1v7ai match
Huh, why did I never think of that? I always did things where I had the Active Ally with a Town Hall far away and I'd let them build up stuff. Once I had a map where I pitted two Active Allies against each other (once I found out they're hostile to each other) while I fought a single AI on my own side of the river... But yeah, a single Peasant start with Active Allies... never ever thought of that to avoid recruiting them...
I miss this game so much. I want to play it soooo bad.... And i must add, your a pro, you had A three pronged offensive going on with birds, knights, and mages. Props. Reminds me of when I was watching my dad play on sundays after churchxD (I was born 93')
Wow. I don't watch WC2 videos in general, but you executed this perfectly. The editing at the start, the defense, the early attack on your first opponent, different tactics in taking out each opponent at the end, all was very enjoyable!
I literally thought there was no way you were winning this, until I saw you send that scout to show everyone was out of resources, that's when I finally realized it was a survival match until that point. Excellent strategy on wiping them out with your limited army at the end.
That's usually how you win these types of maps. Since the AI doesn't have human limitations on how many units it can control (obviously) then they build like crazy and pump out units with abandon. So for the player it's all about just sitting back and letting them exhaust themselves. It's not foolproof and you still need to survive the onslaught of course, but yeah lol.
That’s Cool man… Those Blizzard Boxsets and others like Doom2 back in the day were cool, I remember them, being only about 6, back in 1995 era and remembered the film Independence Day around that same time.
Loving this before I even click play, let's goooo. Thanks for playing a water map, I know it's not popular, but I love the ship combat. E: fkin well played!
Gotta love the one knight at 23:42ish that had the presence of mind to avoid walking into the blizzard and not getting slaughtered. Then after he sees all his friends do it, decides he wants to be cool too.
This is seriously impressive. The way you withstood that insane barrage of attacks all the while maintaining equilibrium, then proceeded to take everyone out in a calculated yet brutal offensive of your own 👏 probably your most accomplished/best mission. Would you agree? I don't think I've seen you beat a harder one. Yes you've beaten other very hard missions, but you were so resourceful in this one. Usually you just send out the eagles/dragons. Which is boring to watch tbh. This was fucking awesome
I played the same map on the same place against 7 enemys, too. I won,- too. But complete other plan. Less towers but more bomb Towers, no (!) Mage, only some Archers and Many Palas for Heal, more Balista to secure my towers and attack ships. No technology that cost wood. I bomb the way to north, too. Big flying army, short attack, back to heal. Short attack, back to heal. I secure some Oil and start building transporter. I attack and defeat another enemy before he was out of gold. Good old time.
Damn death coil sounds is one of the scariest sounds in this game when you're not the one casting it, because it means a lot of your dudes are now dead.
Very similar strategy to what I experience - when you're on the verge of being overwhelmed almost constantly, it comes down to a matter of surviving the weak, but frequent, attacks and living long enough for the computers to run out of money. Then you can fairly effectively sweep the map.
Good playthrough. What I always noticed about these sorts of maps, playing a computer, is that they would do mass assaults at the start, and if you could survive that, you could beat them when their resources ran out - as you did here. Also, that the AI is not that smart and easy to outwit. I enjoyed this game a lot when it came out. Seeing now is fun.
Brilliant. And you're so precise with the Polymorph spell its like you're casting it yourself. What are some big mistakes the computer made that mightve cost it the game?
After watching this, I have two questions: 1.) How many times did you fail this skirmish before you got this footage? 2.) What is your rank in Starcraft? You're APM is nuts to watch, and I can only imagine you being just an absolute beast to play against.
Took me perhaps 10 tries or so, but getting the map set up and calibrated with the improved AI was even more challenging =) I didn't play a lot of Starcraft online (got to Master once in SC2), but I was pretty good in WC3 back in the day. I think I was top 10 in Reign of Chaos multiple times, but the ranking system was pretty busted. If you won too many games your internal MMR got so high that you couldn't really find games anymore, so you had to intentionally drop games in order to keep ranking up :D
@@StuGames I figured the mod aspect was likely the more difficult task to accomplish. On the WC3 front, I remember playing ranked being a mess. Was never really good enough to tournament play, but I certainly tried.
@morgrimgaming7342 Stu sounds very familiar, very well could have seen you too if the name was morgrim. morgrim sounds familiar as well. I was consistenly in a chat room with Bei and Sh1tty, pretty sure both of them were in top 100 for a long time
I spent thousands of hours on this game, I'm so used to the AI, it's weird to see the computer send mages on transport boats. Where did you get that plugin? Does it work on GoG version of the game? Anyway, nice game and well done :)
It's funny how the yellow faction is always the last one on the list and they're listed as "Alliance/Horde" Traitors depending on who runs them. It's like Blizzard ran out of ideas on what to call their factions and were like "Ehh, just call them Traitors" even though they could be siding with the rest of the Horde or the Alliance, etc. Of course, Beyond The Dark Portal gave a Horde clan to the yellow faction but you only see that on Swamp tilesets.
I really love your videos, it brings back so much memorys, but I really wish it would had commentary, would make it so much more entertaining to watch. Maybe you can commentate over the video after playing it, when it is to difficult to commentate while playing.
You're such a legend! Here's a question for you: When playing against another person, are the orcs better overall because of bloodlust? Would you choose them over the Humans?
Yes, the Orcs are generally considered superior in multiplayer matches. Although the Human mage is arguably the best unit in the game, ogre mages are very powerful and much easier to control, especially at the higher game speeds.
It's interesting that it naturally goes on the course of the medieval war. Building walls and deploying projection weapons can only be pierced at the expense of countless lives.
This reminds me of AOE 2 AI when playing small islands. The AI would go absoloutly ham and rush to get all its resources but in doing so spend most of it by building tons of lumber mills
Damn that impressive player my man u have lighnting reflexes this must be really tough mentally too do what an PRO u are this was one of my first rts game i played and us an classic.
For some reason I recall there being a setting for a .pud to say "this is a water map, when there are AIs, make sure they use the WaterAI logic. But I think I might be thinking of an entirely different game.
So, if I had to guess, this mod that fixes the AI also makes them actually build their own transports? I seem to remember that the AI would frequently just not build transports even on a sea combat map...Instead, it would build a huge armada of submarines and occasionally other ships, and that was it! If you placed transports in the map editor, it would use them but it would never replace them.
I think it depends on the faction being used... I know most maps just have them do submarine harassment but there's stuff like River Fork where the Teal Orcs (Bleeding Hollow) will do landings with Ogres and Grunts, etc. Or maybe it's just the map?

+1 for the textual commentary track
-1 for editing out the boring parts. As Queen said, "I want it all!"
As a RTS nerd I wanted to see the boring macro, but I definitely agree on the captions
Orcs and Humans AI: make landfall.

I would appreciate if you could show the entire map at the beginning real quick or something. Just to give an impression of the layout 'n' such.
I guess I could look up the map name when he shows it in the beginning. I feel like there was a time I had all the multiplayer maps memorized, but that feels like ages ago.

Only 3 minutes in but the first attack wave already feels just like those demo battles that happen in the menus.
Can someone answer me the question I have for over 20 years now?
What does the Exorcism Ability from paladins do?
I think it just instantly kills any death knights and skeletons in the nearby area but idk
It does a lot of damage to undead (death knights and skeletons)
Oh polymorph. The spell that annoyed my dad out of actually finishing this game.
This reminds me of AOE 2 AI when playing small islands. The AI would go absoloutly ham and rush to get all its resources but in doing so spend most of it by building tons of lumber mills
if you make a skeleton and he dies in a transport boat eventually it will turn into whatever unit was made by player or ai
Nevertheless that AI is more aggresive, the computer still remain fool. He can not think!
Damn that impressive player my man u have lighnting reflexes this must be really tough mentally too do what an PRO u are this was one of my first rts game i played and us an classic.

yeah, I believe the plugin also tells the AI what units to build
I think it depends on the faction being used...
I know most maps just have them do submarine harassment but there's stuff like River Fork where the Teal Orcs (Bleeding Hollow) will do landings with Ogres and Grunts, etc.
Or maybe it's just the map?
