There are a lot of great updated 90s games these days! Both official releases and fan made. I'm going to be doing more videos showcasing them. I may have to take a look at Dune Legacy as well.
Looking for a mod is the first thing I searched for when I first tried Warcraft 1. Only being able to select one character at a time... Can't even right click to move... it was so archaic, I couldn't believe it. This mod is absolutely necessary, and absolutely fantastic.
@@EnigmaHood I'm glad you find this useful! I'll post a video with some general Warcraft 1 tips soon. You are actually able to select up to 4 in the base game, you must hold shift and click extras or holding control allows you to drag select. There is also the "Warcraft 1 Mouse Helper" which I've made a video on and will link here: ua-cam.com/video/1LyoUyxlTk4/v-deo.html War1gus allows up to 50 selections though which is quite nice!
It is very impressive! I like playing the game in the original engine, but this is quite useful and would be cool to setup some multiplayer matches in!
I credit O&H with getting me into PC gaming. Saw my friend’s older brother playing it and got addicted. Didn’t have a PC at the time so I’d just play it at their house. When I got my first PC, Warcraft 2 was out but the nostalgia of this one never ceases to make me happy. I love that this project keeps the general ambience, graphics, and music.
Awesome to hear! Warcraft 2 was my first but I played WC2 around the same time. This project is definitely great! I also recently posted a video on how to get it running well in 16:9 wide-screen.
The CRT Filter makes the game look so much better. I had just started playing Wyrmsun when I found this and could finally use my old DOS game to play again. This is so much fun!
fantastic review. Great quality of insights. I am suprise that you notice so many elements that was added. as for the strategies... i think waterelements are underpower, its a humiliation unit now. You are much better with summoning tons of scorpions. Fire Rain or Poison cloud are weak... they have some use in damaging base, but its easy to just move units away. there was some multi games, even with some competivie player. But the games ended at the Knight/Rider stage. priest/necrolyte are quite powerful with spying the terrain, heal/skeletons are strong multiplier to your armies. Invisibility is meh... but Unholy Armor are shifting power to the orc side. you probably notice that the games core (spam) units are now footman/grunt - as it should be per Warcraft 1 manual :-P not sure if that change in late game, maybe scorpion/spider spam render them obsolete.
i tried this mod a couple of years ago, maybe till 2021 or 2020, maybe it has been improved. I remember the menu was a bit off. But its cool to have group controls on here too. Fun tutorial mick. Very educative.t that tower is so overpowered lol 9:35
this is great! i just finished replaying SC1 and this is just as good for nostalgia....the art direction and sound design in wc1 was great i wish they stayed with that for wc2/wc3...having to build building next to roads etc...just great...the game has aged well
This mod fantastic. Great job to the mod team!! This is a great way to revisit the original game in the original engine rather than SC2 or WC3 custom maps. The new upgrades and the modernized controls really give it a whole new feel.
Is there an details about the rebalance? One thing I really loved in WC:O&H.was how UNbalanced the units were. A Grunt would beat a Footman, an Archer would shoot farther than a Spearman, etc. Was fun.
I could probably look up all of the differences in the code of the game. This video was made in version 3.3.2 and there is now a version 3.3.3 which fixes things like the machinegun tower. I personally primarily play with the original stats and original fog of war mechanics though.
It would be awesome if they did, that was actually the original plan when the remasters were envisioned but corporate people decided that WC1 wouldn't be a profitable remaster so they jumped straight to 3.
@@mickcraftgaming "You can tweak many of the game’s parameters using the Lua language." Do you know what can be tweaked? It doesn't seem to have increased group size for example
@@Alianger as far as that is concerned I'm not sure - I'd recommend checking out the stratgus discord and asking the creators there. In the in-game settings you can select many group size options though, going up to a selection size of 50.
There should technically be a way to within the code, which is open source. I'll see if I can figure it out. I'd also recommend checking out the stratagus discord and seeing if one of the guys there can help.
I run into crashes occasionally, this was filmed on the 3.3.2 version. If you join the stratagus discord you can report crashes and they can help troubleshoot
There seem to be nine unique colors, although the ninth seems to be reserved for neutral or computer controlled units only. The player colors are: red, blue, orange, purple, green, gray, white, and yellow
I'm not sure that there will ever be an official Warcraft 2 remaster, but there is Wargus and the Warcraft 2 wide-screen patch which I will cover later.
The graphics aren't filtered in this video at all, but graphics filters are available in War1gus. The remastered aspect is in the form of the controls and the unit pathing rather than the graphics.
I always wondered if Dune Legacy was the only updated RTS, but now I'm happy to see Warcraft joined the club.

That’s so cool! Never knew about this mod! The more modern controls definitely help
Yeah it is very cool! Good be a good way to get newer players into the game.

I'm impressed by all the little updates like showing a unit has low health with a bleed effect. Very cool overall!
Yes it's very impressive! I found it while looking for a Warcraft 1 map editor.
This is amazing! I wish I know about this mod sooner!
It would have made my Warcraft 1 playthrough in highschool a whole lot easier.

NGL I have been dreaming about this. I love the dark and grittiness of 90s dos games especially satanic orcs!
Right on! Warcraft 1 is great!

I remember this game fondly. There was quite a fun bit with the editor that let me make hilarious units... ah, much younger then.
Good times!
A lot of potential with this!
Definitely so!
I've been playing this for a couple weeks and I've never seen the AI repair their catapults mid fight, that's cool as hell.
Yeah! It's an awesome mod
The CRT Filter makes the game look so much better. I had just started playing Wyrmsun when I found this and could finally use my old DOS game to play again. This is so much fun!
Yeah the filters are awesome! I'm going to be doing a lot more content about these mods soon.
Yes the food capacity was only visible by clicking on the farms
I thought so, pretty nice quality of life improvement
As an old fart who actually played this I LOVE how this looks. I will be sure to give it a try!
It runs quite smoothly! I highly recommend it
If you’re an old fart, that makes me one and I don’t accept that :)
This was my first RTS and played it every day til War2 came out

Fun tutorial mick. Very educative.t
that tower is so overpowered lol 9:35
Thank you! Yeah that tower is nuts haha
Yeah, that tower is nuts. I think it is just to prevent rushes and it gets balanced after the armor upgrades are done.
@@Winnetou17 it's definitely a top notch rush defense!
this is great! i just finished replaying SC1 and this is just as good for nostalgia....the art direction and sound design in wc1 was great i wish they stayed with that for wc2/wc3...having to build building next to roads etc...just great...the game has aged well
Agreed! I love the look and feel of Warcraft 1, I have some great new things in store for it soon.
Very nice. Them towers have some machine guns inside
That's for sure haha
The towers are fixed in version 3.3.3, I was playing on 3.3.2 in this video
This mod fantastic. Great job to the mod team!! This is a great way to revisit the original game in the original engine rather than SC2 or WC3 custom maps. The new upgrades and the modernized controls really give it a whole new feel.
Definitely agreed! When I found it I knew I had to share it with those who love Warcraft!
I could see this being very useful for newer players that want to experience the original Warcraft!
Definitely so!
I have it ready and i was thinking of recording a playthrough of this.
@@pressedv3017 awesome! I definitely recommend it!
Interesting
Definitely! Worth trying out if you ask me.
Conrats on the 10k
Thank you!!
15:29 yeah that's what i thought when playing wargus some years ago too with war2 Blizzard, lol. Maybe still f*cked up in wargus too, still.

if they remaster it and release it, i definitely buy it, thats exactly what iam waiting for

@@mickcraftgaming ofc, few modders can do a better job than aaa companies these days... shame
@@Quitarstudent Huge difference in passion!
towers are op because you are playing 3.3.2 version instead 3.3.3
Good to know! I'll try out 3.3.3 next. Thank you 🙏🏻
Question: Has Warcraft 2 been remastered with this much dedication?
Yes it has! Here is my video on that: ua-cam.com/video/AQ8RkyQsKXI/v-deo.html
@@mickcraftgaming Thanks a million! Glukta, daabu, etc.
@@sphtpfhorbrains3592 you're welcome!
I can confirm this works on linux through bottles
Good to know! Thank you 👏🏻🙌🏻
@@mickcraftgaming yep just make sure it's on the same drive as the gog version and choose the setup exe and the Quality of life stuff just works

Is there one for War2 as well?

The remake shows a LOT of promise. Too bad it's too buggy right now (AI etc).
Definitely a lot of potential here - it would be awesome to see it develop into a high end Warcraft 1 client
@@mickcraftgaming Yeah! I simply can't wait to build up my own maps and campaigns (you can do so now but again very buggy and cumbersome).
I wonder how many player colors there are?
There seem to be nine unique colors, although the ninth seems to be reserved for neutral or computer controlled units only.
The player colors are: red, blue, orange, purple, green, gray, white, and yellow
@@mickcraftgaming Y... y... YELLOW!
@@ReD-zc3uu Yeah! Yellow is a great color in RTS. Maybe I'll make a video showcasing all of the colors.
Remake Warcraft2 please. I need it and make profit of it. Ask for a donation.

Nah everything look the same. U just used graphics filtered.
