      I wonder if they fixed the pathfinder in warcraft1. It was a really smart wallfollower, but it could go in circles in the tunnel levels.

          Ya but it was sort of an algorithmic bug, induced by this very efficient and low memory path finder, so good luck finding someone coding that today…

    I would definitely play Warcraft 2 remastered. I’ve played the version on GOG and it was solid, but a remastered version is always nice.

    Haven’t played Warcraft 1 in over 25 years. Wouldn’t mind trying it for fun.

      Got into it yesterday, there’s a toggle to switch between old and new graphics during gameplay. And there’s also an option for original or updated music, it was an instant nostalgia kick lol

        I loved the first one so much. I’ve been hearing the remaster for WC1 won’t have online multiplayer. That’s a huge disappointment for me. Hardly anyone ever got to experience that game multiplayer. I played it with my friend exactly once, when I brought my computer over to his house. It worked over LAN and I think also modem, but not the internet.

    If the remastered versions add modern controls that’d be super. It’s the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.

      You mean like updating unit selection in Warcraft 2; it is limited to ~9 units per control group from what I remember.

      I love the old games but I wish that unit pathing and attacking would’ve been updated a little. Or at least for the remastered version, or have it an option in the settings.

      Another thing that always bothered me a bit was the max amount of selected units in many older RTS games. Sometimes it’s limited by the UI too, but they could update that as well.

    Guys, it doesn’t look good. They basically just spit-shind it.

    I’m still going to get it 🏴‍☠️ but I’m not holding my breath.
