Imagine a universe where Reforged was amazing and they had plans to do the same to the first two warcraft games? I cry every time man.
they couldve just said remastered than reforged
I'd pay £30 for the Warcraft 1,2 and BtDP campaigns redone in the Warcraft 3 Reforged engine as a DLC :p

@@MerlynMusicman Sadly, not gonna happen, because of Blizzard's reputation.
i know this is an old comment, but there is a game out there called armies of exigo, and in my opinion is like the remastered version of all warcraft games.
if you are willing to play it, note that you will need a direct x9 emulator program (if you want to have the 3D unit portraits displayed, you can play it without it though)
It's kinda funny when playing the Orcs! Back then, this is what I thought:
- The Great Hall looks like a Christmas house. See the horns by the entrance? If you pan the camera and looking away from it, they can be mistakingly resemble candy canes. Even the lights, banner, and decorations are also mistaken for ornaments, and christmas lights and decorations! Plus, the brown structure completes this by looking alot like gingerbread!
- The Orc Warriors, when facing left or right, looks alot like Santa themselves! But, when facing diagonally, they look alot like either Santa bending down to smoke a pipe, or holding a rifle. I just can't seem to get away from this ever since!
- The sound of being berserk by Ogre-Mages is as if they are insanely drunk. WhauauuAaUaUuAuAaUAAUAUUAUAAUAUUH!
- When an Orc dies, the sound is as if they're roaring rather than meeting death. OOOOOAAAAGH!
- Most structure sounds, when selecting them, are hilarious! The Altar, for example, sounds as if two Orcs were conversating so dumbfounded, they don't know what they're actually talking about!
I also missed the peons real face for way too long.
I always thought that their right ear is an injured eye, and they only have one normal eye (looking left and up), their right tusk is their mouth (smiling), and the thing between their right war and eye is their nose.
I always thought the Christmas thing too! And I always thought the peon was looking to our left and his right tusk was his mouth.
The Great Hall is absolutely Christmas-themed in the snow and I can't be convinced otherwise
The narrator reading the story is still so awesome. Perfect diction and sound effects. Best old and future memories since I hope I will complete the game 20 times more again ;d
Back when they still knew how to pronounce Kul Tiras. Sigh.
How can you play this game today??? 😢 I used to play this on a 1995 pc 😂
@@ephesians3987 It still both looks and plays good. Just look at it, how could you possibly deny its greatness. I love it, `100 years later
@@MyNigellus oh you misunderstood me bro!! Lol I am asking how can one play this game ?? I am very computer illiterate so ima asking what do I need to play today!! Haha I love this game
@ephesians3987 I know what you mean. I've tried playing this again on my 12 year old alienware laptop and as soon as you move the cursor to the edge of the screen you're instantly across the map.
Wow Grom's voice. This is like finding out that Abraham Lincoln's voice was squeaky like a teapot.
He sounds like the Zerg Overlord unit from Starcraft except he can speak English lol
I had never played this game and after reading this I was excited to hear his voice.
Bruh
tHe WaRsOnG aRe SuPrEmE
I know huh?
I forgot totally about Grom Voice.
Thank you for not skipping any cinematics or mission debriefs!
I never grow tired of the Bloodlust spellcast sound. Iconic!
I consider this art. If just people that lived ordinary lives knew how much work it is and how difficult it is to play this fast and consistent.
standardized lives?
@@AAAA-cn2qk Didn't know what else to call it. Normalized? A4? Linear?
@@123TauruZ321 normal is a fitting one
Ordinal? Something like that
@@The-jy3yq Ordinary. Thanks.
Amazing gameplay! Brings back so much memories and nostalgia.
It is terrible. Can't imagine playing this after Warcraft 3 .
Now I've been really impressed how the play is so clean and fast at the same time!
Death coils in this game were always so terrifying, even when I replayed it a year ago. Just pops your units.
Nothing is more scary than polymorph. Even this guy made mass dragons every time there were mages with poly
aaa.... the good old days when you could punch a building to oblivion, and the units where bigger than the building they came from :D
awesome game play man... the speed you play on is godlike level :P
I Love old strategy games. Your performance is outstanding!
Bloodlust in WC2 was so over-powered.
I remember dreaming at the time about when games would look as good as the intros... !!
Now my phone can render better graphics live.
Old games are still more fun, graphics be damned.
I like to spice up difficult things that I need to read by doing the "orc briefing voice" in my head.
Dude, how much cocaine did Grom snort during this era?
He got kicked in the balls after the first war for months, that and sandpaper cigarettes will do that to you
I always imagine him as a orc berserker these days... until War3 came out and he became old fart
The sound of his voice is why he is called Hellscream.
All of it.
This is your warchief on demon blood
If only Ner'zhul knew what fate was awaiting him in the Twisting Nether...
And you, the player, get to be a lich!
They don't call it the twisting nether for nothing Ner'Zhul, prepare your soul to be used as a hole.
Wait , NerZhul ? As in the OG Lich King?
@@LordThomasPassion Correct. Ner'Zhul escaped into the Twisting Nether, only to be greeted by his demonic master, Kil'jaeden, who was most displeased with his failure to conquer humanity.
Kil'jaeden trapped his spirit within a suit of armor, frozen in a block of ice, and placed him in Northrend, giving him a new mandate: spread a plague of undeath with his new powers and destroy Lordaeron. Ner'Zhul's lieutenants, meanwhile, were all transformed into liches (Which is why many of them don't have human names).
@@dragonslair951167 do we know which Lich was the player from this game? And what happened to the alliance forces that followed into the nether?
Been watching you play C&C, RA & WC2.
Thank you for the high quality playing and uploads. Well done👍🏻
Been a trip down memory lane.
Just bought the remasterd C&C collection and will be getting WC2 battlenet (though I still have all the originals as I loved them so much as a kid).
I've learned a lot by watching you play. My younger self wasn't much of a strategist... 😅
Beyond the Dark Portal kicked my ass 🤣
Not sure if you have a Dungeon Keeper playthrough. I'll check later. Another great game from that era 😈
Thanks man, have fun with the games :) I wasn't any good at them as a kid either, I was playing around with cheat codes more than playing legitimately :D
Unfortunately I didn't have Dungeon Keeper as a kid although the concept intrigued me and I thought about picking it up multiple times. Unfortunately the UI seems very dated and unintuitive in that game.
@@StuGames Will do! Really looking forward to beating them legitimately 😇
No more glittering prizes or great days to die 🤫
I've completed Dungeon Keeper several times over the years. There's a higher resolution mode in the windows version, which helps.
The main challenge with Dungeon Keeper (for me anyways) is the difficulty in micro-managing large engaments with the enemy.
Also, there's quite a few creatures that attack each other on sight or who do massive area of affect damage which kills friendly units 😫
Having said all that, I do strongly encourage you to give it a try! One of my all time favorites.
You can slap your imps around, hear the dark mistress's screams of pleasure reverberate around your dungeon, cruely torture your foolish goody goody enemies, converting them to your cause and... get flipped off by the universally irate and disgruntled horned reaper 😋
Love it!
@@StuGames dude how did I never think of that as a kid or an adult. Using a death night as a make shift goblin sapper with death and decay and unholy armor
Seeing Korgath Bloodfist say "need a hand?" got a giggle out of me. (his clan replace one of their hands with a blade).
The method with an accelerated magician under protection is simply brilliant 🙌
Thank you so much for this nostalgia 4-pack. I'm glad i found such a good quality lp
Played this as a kid. A sone points in the campaigns the game would crash as if saying "nope. You cracked it. No more gameplay for you"
It still was so much fun.
just like no bridge in sc lol
I still remember well this day when i was 11 years old, went with Mom to buy this game. I am an old fart now, and this game is still with me. W1, W2, W3, Frozen Throne, and then WoW, amazing adventure, hats off to Blizzard, absolutely the best game, and story ever.
1st mission intro: defeat the Laughing Skull clan
1st mission gameplay: defeat the Shattered Hand clan
9th mission intro: daemon guarded by Orc clans
9th mission gameplay: daemon guarded by human nations for some reason
Also both Human and Orc campaigns involve destroying the Thunderlord and Bonechewer clans.
What human mission involves destroying hunderlord and Bonechewer clans?
@@rallykalle8852
In mission 11, Dance of the Laughing Skull, you destroy the stronghold of the Thunderlord clan. You also attack the Bonechewer clan. Since in the 3rd Orc missions their strongholds were near each other it's possible you attack their stronghold as well.
Finally
Smth for keeping me awake at night
The maddening sound of moving multiple troops!
The narrator is such a hype-beast.
7:22 I love how close the music at this point sounds to another of my favorite games, Lords of the Realm 2 :)
Моя любимая стратегия !! Классика ! До сих пор помню это меню !и эти звуки!
Every time I hear the sound effect for the death knights decay spell, it makes me have the urge to break out my deep fryer to cook something.
This brings so much memories... o god, i am old...
1:35:13 "would you want a kiss? of course, master" LOL
1:30:20 Fun fact:
The guy who made the Warcraft 1 in Warcraft 3 custom campaign added 2 bonus secret levels for both races. The first human level of which is heavyly inspired by this one in terms of gameplay and landscape.
Wow, just, really amazing. I had foolish thought you sac'd deathwing early in the last mission. Just really amazing.
Its an Orc campaign but all I see are Ogres.
First ever appearance of Grom Hellscream in a Warcraft game!
I'm sure everything worked out great for Ner'zhul after stepping through the portal...
Lol yea definitely not him being tortured and turned into something else
What happened to the Shadowmoon Slayer (the orc player)?
back when it didn't take hours for a grunt to kill a footman
Grom Hellscream, Cho'gall, Thrall, are the deadliest and most powerful NPC's.
Korgath Bladefist: "Need a hand?" - ha! What a troll. His clan cut their left hands.
Thanks a bunch for this! Just started on the expansion
this and diablo 1 was my first blizzard games i played with my brother :D Such memories
I saw it asked once somewhere else and I'll ask it hear: just how much cocaine did Grom snort? He sounds like his head's going to pop.
Still putting out great content I see :) Great work Stu *thumbs up from papi
I can't believe in all these years I just now realized the Temple of the Damned got a Triforce right next to the door kkkkkk
I twisted my nether once. It was really painful.
Man, i watched this 3 times. Great, just great!
Excellent
Is this some remastered version?
All looks so clear and defined.
How did Taurens replace the Ogres?
Finally ! I've finished the last mission ... nice play !
Grom has been captured so many times throughout the story
But how? I thought that WC3 story is supposed to be thousand years after WC2?
@@VK-sz4it as far as I know not really, no. They are only a few years apart
@@poiz921 Well, then I don't understand. Mediev had seemed to be quite an important dude. Why did nobody listen to him? I naturally concluded that a lot of time has pased since.
@@VK-sz4it it's a long time since I've actually read the lore, but i think mediv was evil, brought the orcs to the warcraft planet, died and somehow came back to repent.
He doesnt reveal himself in WC3 for reasons I dont know. I think if you search on the lore wiki you'll find something
BEYOND DARK PORTAL is much HARDER than TIDES OF THE DARKNESS
Holy cow you're great at this game... I can't imagine fighting 2 battles at once, much less 3 and still being on top of your production and unit micromanagement
Also, damn I thought I made a lot of peons
I find it funny that peons damage 1 hp only since they are by far the strongest, constantly training their bodies while the military rest waiting for an enemy. Amazing gameplay by the way, I have watched around 10 hours of you playing different campaings 🖤
I figured they are a gentle sort who don't want to hurt anyone.
Yeah they're probably physically strong but they don't have any combat training, I'd imagine getting a hit on a trained knight would be difficult, and if you do, I doubt it would be an effective strike.
can you please tell me how on heart are you so fast?
and how do you move more than 9 units in a row?
In starcraft you apply the "zerging" tactic, in warcraft the "ogring" one...
I still don't understand why they give Grom Hellscream a raspy version of Mike Tyson voice.
Superb run, Stu.
What software was used to record your playthrough :)
Woops, somebody mistook Grom Hellscream for a goblin, what a shame.
I laugh at how some of the AI just start running around randomly and die to you or your towers instead of actually fighting.
The music and the voice acting is still highly entertaining and motivating hahaha.

Grinning as they stepped into the twisting nether only to eat a shit pie forcefed by Kil'jaeden. Can't say Ner'zhul didn't deserve it either.
I always played last mission that I headed to south and then made my base to where is the free gold mine. It seems that almost every mission has some backdoor way to complete it different way if you have very good skill. Playing as normal way the hardest time in last mission was killing the blue base. After I got their gold mine the rest of the mission was a piece of cake :)
How to get WARCRAFT 1 game play?
These campaign maps seem to be slightly different than what I see. It's still War2Combat edition. Has there been an upgrade? (The one I see has much more aggressive comps)
That screen....my gosh my past just caught up with me
The Trolls aren't native to Draenor. So they must have come through in the retreat. They're now apparently a core part of Orcish forces. Damm, they must have bred fast.
This is a very high level of play. If it doesn’t bother you, could you tell me how I could mimic a fraction of your power?
In the end of the first mission. Right after you were done smashing everything. Everyone suddenly moved slower around while you were waiting for the "victory button". How did you do that?
I believe you are to play in this fast tempo but it just made me suspicious...
Grom looks so cool in wc2 and so silly in wc3, i mean all units look hella silly in wc3
IX The Tomb of Sargeras, kept getting to the last 3 paladins before the demon, I missed those damn trolls on the island, only had a troll and a deathknight at the end before picking those up, then it was easy
This mission with drakes took me more than your whole gameplay
Is this Macintosh or PC? I am afraid my older Mac computer may die and I can't play these games. Any recommendations on systems that can run, Warcraft I, II and expansion set? Thanks.
how to control the army so fast? i had download but cannot use (shift control) for army. got any link for download?
Man I used to hate working on my base only to hear bloodlust going off in the distance like oh shit here we go
my 1st RTS game,the good ole days when blizzard was making good games
in a brief resume.....warcraft 2 = dark ambientation and epic characters
warcraft 3 = too cartoonish and not grim,it was a deception and not even matched how epic was WC2
What warcraft 3 did good is world editor other than that i agree without that wow wouldn't probably be made people made bunch of RPG maps and it was based on that
Badass gameplay
Why does the food never increase or reflect how many farms you have?
Blood-lusted Ogre Magi. The answer to everything.
Aarg?
this campaign is much better than the original
Swift and aggressive start pays off really well during expansion. AI is much smarter than in ToD, as long as even the last peasant/peon is alive, those curs find a spot outta your sight to reconstruct. They also buy many upgrades. I beat both campaigns without cheating only recently, however many missions require perfect micro, which I'm lacking, so for instance the New Stormwind takes me much longer to finish, cuz I ain't fast enough to prevent the AI from expanding their base and training advanced units.
Cheers for the guide but simply can not get anywhere with act xi - The Eye of Dalaran, its just ridiculous. Not matter what strategy I try, even copying yours, just get blitzed in no time; whether its land troops or seemingly a constant attack of Griffins, so frustrating.
1:29:00 sour-joo-ras. thought it was sar-gehr-as
The pronunciation changed in Warcraft 3. Sar-gehr-as is the modern version.
And why exactly did you built 2 towns? Like i wanna know the tactical advantage it gives
Que de bon souvenir! merci
at 56:00 anyone else find it hilarous that KUL'TIRAS is on a mountain no where near the coast?
Gosh, bloodlust is so op
What I wanted to know was why didn't you use your Death Knights to reanimate the dead, all it costs a little bit of magic it works on just fallen friendly or enemy bones and you get free undeath soldiers as reinforcements
the skeletons are very bad in this game unfortunately
How did you not get attacked by knights at 44:00?? Ive tried this mission like youve done 8 seperate times and I always get swarmed by knights RIGHT fortress completion
Im stuck at the yellow death knight mission. been playing since i was a kid. the unholy armor and deathand decay combo was interesting
It's called a mage bomb, watching this is just flooding back all the forgotten memories of this game...
I'm surprised deathwing was able to slip past all of blue's defenses, also blood lust appears to be overpowered
It is. That's why nobody plays as humans in PvP.
Deathwing indeed is key to victory here. It takes quite some knowledge on how the AI reacts. You have to benefit from slipping Deathwing right on specific spot, so that he keeps attacking Azeroth's peasants as well as structures. Peasants begin repairs immediately when structure burns, as long as they have resources, this way they can't afford to bother training other units. As soon as you've eliminated most blue peasants, you intermittently attack newly recruited ones and their castle. As the castle burns, the peasants start repairs immediately, so focus on spitting fire at those and also the castle itself, until destroyed. This way you've pretty much avoided the worst disaster, otherwise you'd have to deal with Gryphons. Meanwhile you gotta make your move thru Kul Tiras' defense lines into Dalaran, cuz they also construct most advanced structures and send Mages and Paladins, who later threaten and obliterate your position. Lordaeron ain't much of a trouble here, safe for early game.
I reflected on a single note about Deathwing and doing so I managed to compose a poem. 😄 Cheers.
@@jerryrose7 I beat the last map the hard way, enduring Azeroth's gryphons and all. Seeing this Deathwing play in action, I was laughing out loud at how simple yet effective it was. That map wiped the floor with me like 15 times before I beat it.
@@sipher3516 As soon as I glimpsed Gryphons emerging out of the shadows and Mages moving towards my position which I barely conquered, I was forced to restart.
yo how come it looks pretty clear? i had to google for a sec if there was some kind of 1080p remaster or something lol.
Damn, you make these look easy! You really need to hit the ground running with these missions otherwise it devolves into a war of attrition.
Good way to describe my job delivering parcels for Amazon lol
Why do these missions here take so much longer than Command and Conquer speedruns?
Can't speak for Command and Conquer, but this campaign is one of the most brutally difficult campaigns that Blizzard has ever published. Enemies often have massive fortifications that you need a large, well microed army to break, while also constantly attacking you at the same time. This person's playing this extremely well, its just a long campaign.
You could have build houses around the towers. A little min-max to prolong their HP, but it isn't that game changing
Why didn’t I think of that
HUMAN SCOUT: A bunch of naked Ogres with hoods on are making a beeline for our Fort! Get ready for battle!😱
PALADINS: Wait, what?!😶
😳😳😳😳😳
