Hey how did you get the Warcraft 2 Reforged Human Farm Buildings Orc Ones, and etc from?

Chronicles of the Second War: Tides of Darkness

CSW Updated with new Patch 1.05

www.hiveworkshop.com

This is the source of it. They are awesome, go check them out.

How goes the SD/classic version?

Ready for review Full cross-compatibility.

Great map map, some suggestions:

• Add unit soundsets and fighting sounds from Warcraft 2!
• In the beginning there is a spelling mistake with "Players".
• Scrolling down with the camera behaves weirdly.
• I had the feeling the map was lagging a bit.
• If I have the Orc interface, I can still choose human but my interface does not change. Maybe not possible in Warcraft.
• Why not show the exact production value somewhere?
• Guard Towers have no attack icon, I cannot target a specific unit? Same for rally point flags etc. I guess you did this because it is closer to Warcraft II.
• Some upgrade icons look still like Warcraft III. I don't know how they look in Warcraft II.
• Units get stuck really often especially in the late game. AI builds its buildings, so their units cannot leave their base anymore and my allied AI got stuck between the trees. Maybe it is small like that in Warcraft 2 but maybe adapt it a bit for Warcraft III. The AI that got stuck was Orc in the top left.

Thanks for thorough review, I've drastically changed the map, you can reconsider your judgment on some points, and maybe even give it a 5 star , no pressure.

Would it be possible to share the wizard's tower model?

I don't believe so, but if mr. @ShadiHD will have the right mood, you could try to ask him he's the author of that asset and it is magical.

Interesting concept ... something is just like the original, something is not at all.

Thanks for the kind feedback!

Well done.
I played a few rounds myself and loved the graphics.
I love that i can finally play Warcraft 2 Melee match on war3.

I cant wait to play the actual Campaigns from CSW, but this is definitely something to enjoy while we all wait for it to come out!

Late reply, but thank you for the support! Be sure to check out the latest version.

Thanks to the forum! Sorry for the slow responses—I'm awake, I swear!

Nearly 3,300 downloads—that's incredible! Huge thanks!

Spoiler: Developer Insights

The main issue right now is with dragon/gryphon and mage units—their fireball mechanics are technically weak. It’s more of a proof-of-concept than a final solution, but it will be improved over time for a more competitive map. Some spells are still off, but due to limited playtests and personal time, progress is slower. Please report any issues you find; I’m too much of a slacker to run full tests on my own (though I will if no reports come in).

Finally resolved the crash issues—cheers to that!

GL HF!

Death and decay failed to cast even in custom game vs AI - it takes 25 mana and do nothing. Ogre mages sometimes just bug and stay still - probably problem with bloodlust autocast.
I don't know if you know this site - Warcraft II Insider's Guide . There is written a lot about Warcraft II clocks and internal function of spells.

Thanks for another round! I'll address the issues and continue working on the magic spells in 1.29.5—still plenty of small things to polish, and I recently uncovered a few more.

The Warcraft II Insider's Guide has been my bible for the past five years. Everything in this project was calculated with that in mind—it was actually the first resource I turned to when starting out! Appreciate the tip regardless.

I played it in the past, I liked that it plays close enough to Warcraft 2 except if we delete Oil from Warcraft 2.
Yes, it may sound strange, but it somehow works pretty cool.
Like.
