It is kind of crazy to think that the first time I played Warcraft 2 was on the Sega Saturn at a buddy’s house. Well, that was great and all, but it was not as amazing as it was on the PC. Before we had World of Warcraft, we had this and it is a game that many people have a lot of fond memories of. A script used to control multiple characters in world of warcraft without switching windows, using 1 client to control 2 or more characters at a time.

For Orcs and Humans seeking something a bit more modern, Warcraft II comes with an updated version of the game tuned for today’s gaming PCs, which includes out-of-the-box Windows 10 compatibility, LAN multiplayer, and high-resolution support via aspect ratio-correct upscaling.

In 1999 Blizzard published the Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition for Windows and Mac, which combined the original game and the expansion pack. In 1996 Blizzard published Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, an expansion pack developed by Cyberlore Studios. The above text is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
Two Sides Of A War
Warcraft 2 actually has a pretty neat story. It is basically humans and orcs at war and the game has a fun campaign that showcases this really well. You get to play the game from two points of view which is kind of interesting. The campaign missions on both sides (while the story is different) do follow the same kind of formula no matter if you are playing as the humans or orcs.
Scenarios!
One of the things that Warcraft 2 is most well known for is its scenarios. You have plenty that you can play, but you can also make your own. For a game that is as old as Warcraft 2 is, I feel that this feature here is way ahead of its time. You can pretty much create a whole new campaign for yourself and friends to play.
This is really well done and you would be surprised at how easy it is to make a new scenario. You can play your scenarios against the AI or you can get a friend involved and play them.
Easy To Play Hard To Master
The gameplay of Warcraft 2 is what has kept so many people playing it for all these years. They really did streamline things here and while this is a real time strategy game and there is a lot of thought behind it. You have to play at a quick pace as the AI (and of course any human you play against) can be very relentless and will not wait for you to think of what to do next.
There are tons of units that you can use in this game. It still has the same two resources to gather as in the first game, but Warcraft 2 introduces air and sea units that require oil, so you now have a third resource to battle over. The different units are a lot of fun and what the humans have there will be an alternative on the Orc side. This is something that other RTS games have so it is not really a negative.
Pixel PerfectionWhile it may seem a little bit “dated” the leap in presentation from the first Warcraft is pretty incredible. I still like the way the game looks and think that the Orcs and the more fantasy-based creatures look fantastic, many of which have kept their place in the Warcraft universe to this day.
If you love RTS games, you will love Warcraft 2. It is a truly fantastic game and one that is just as much fun to play today as it was when it was first released. I love the storyline and the whole lore behind the game. But it is really the gameplay that has kept me hooked for so many years. It is even more addictive if you can sink your teeth into creating your own content for the game.

Battle.net Edition
Blizzard currently sells this as Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition. This edition includes both original campaigns, both expansion campaigns, enhanced graphics and sound, supports Internet multiplayer through Battle.net, and does not need DOSBox. Instructions for making the older DOS-based versions are below.
Making it work
There is a step-by-step guide on setting up WarCraft II on Adam Pierce's blog.
Essentially, it runs great under DOSBox, all you need to do is run WarCraft's SETUP.EXE and select Soundblaster 16 as the sound card. Leave all other options at their default settings.
You also need to mount the CD drive because WarCraft II will not start unless it detects the original CD in the drive.
You might also like to set the cycles to 20000 or so in dosbox.conf to stop it scrolling too fast.
On Mac OS X.5
Nota : folder pathways should be modified for the tip to work under Windows or any other OS.
First install
'Tides of Darkness'
Insert your Warcraft II CD into your drive.
Create a folder in /Users/Yourname that is called 'Warcraft2'. ('Yourname' is the folder that corresponds to your account in /Users).
Then launch Dosbox and type in the following command lines :
1) mount C ~/Warcraft2
This will explain to Dosbox where to install the game.
Warcraft 1 Download Windows 10
2) mount E /Volumes/Warcraft2 -t cdrom switch
This will tell Dosbox to consider your CD as E: ; the word 'switch' is necessary so as the game recognizes the CD, when you will install it.
3) E:
By typing this you enter the CD-rom
4) install.exe
This launches Warcraft II installation.
'Beyond the Dark Portal'
If you own Warcraft II : Beyond the Dark Portal, after you have installed the basic game :
1) Leave Warcraft II
2) Replace the CD with the one of Tides of Darkness
3) Type in the following commands :
mount C ~/Warcraft2
mount F /Volumes/Warcraft2X -t cdrom switch
F:
install.exe
You should be able to play in solo games. Enjoy !
Making it work with a .iso
If you have the 'Beyond the Dark Portal' CD but don't want to bother with it each time, you can create a .iso file that DosBox will recognize as the original CD (provided you give it the right instructions).
Mitsubishi gt designer download. MacOSX can help you with creating this file : after you have inserted your CD of 'Beyond the Dark Portal' on your CD drive, type in the following code in the Terminal :
hdiutil makehybrid -o warcraft2x.iso -udf -iso -joliet /Volumes/warcraft2x
Then, put the .iso file into the right folder (see the pathway I chose below, for example) and you'll be able to start 'Tides of Darkness' with the following commands :
1) mount C ~/Warcraft2
2) IMGMOUNT E /users/Yourname/Warcraft2/warcraft2x.iso -t iso -fs iso
3) C:
4) cd/WAR2
