@@traditionalfolkmusic9709 I'm just glad they didn't completely fuck up D2R. After all the complaints about WC3R, I was wary, but still bought. No regrets yet (other than the period of long queues, but I play offline SP normally anyway).
@@Armaniran193 I know that. Activision has had the reigns from day 1. The only people fooled by calling it a partnership rather than a puppetting were themselves.
I always thought the dryad's quotes were the best. I'm glad Carbot made them so funny here! She also has some really good ones when you click on her repeatedly, like "I'm game!" (because she's half deer) th-cam.com/video/_GpjsaI4H04/w-d-xo.html
Gastly cry, Capsule Corp capsule, Sudowoodo, Rexxar-Ash, Ent March, the best references. This is why Carbot is the best on TH-cam. Keep up the good work man
That new outro ending felt like there is a big emptiness inside me. The music, the graphics feels like the great things are the past, and there is no more new or exciting from what we loved and love since the beginning of warcraft lore. Every good gaming thing fades away..
Go play elden ring. It has been a long time since we got a game so genuinely good with no bs in it. It’s a masterpiece. So don’t be so down. Good things are yet to come.
I agree with the sentiment however there are some bright areas in gaming. Elden Ring being one of them. Stay away from the rehashed, re-skinned franchises and for the love of all that is good stay away from any game or company that prioritizes "games as a service". This Activision, Ubisoft, and EA etc, etc corporate garbage philosophy has destroyed gaming and brought us to the current state we are in today.
What does Elden ring have to do with WC3. WC3 is still played 20 years later. All the new games are the same. Soulslike, 3rd person open world like AC and over the shoulder action games. Is Elden ring still going to be played after 20 years?
"In this world where time is your enemy. It is my greatest ally. This grand game of life that you think you play in fact plays you. To that I say... let the games begin!" - Master Oogway when he was into World of Warcraft
I've been saying "Work werk" when I got to do something to this day since WC3 release. Had 2 friends in highschool that played the Heck out of WC3 then xpac together. I contacted them when WC3R was announced. We were excited we we going to play together for first time in like 15 years. Then.... It came it. I was already too smart to ever preorder a blizzard game. I can't believe they ruined the original too. That's the worst part. Fk blizzard
I fell for it. I was part of the "we do not preorder" crew, but I figured... fuck, I only played WC3 as a kid because my dad pirated it for me. "I don't care if it's good or bad, I'll just buy it to play WC3 legit." I was so hyped about the new stuff and playing online and everything.... Then it came. Played 2 days or so before I was... completely disenchanted. I didn't refund it, gave it a month to see if they'd work on it. Months later I came back to it, played for a bit, and still found MANY FEATURES that my pirated game had, and I just... refunded. How can you mess up something so bad, it's beyond imagination. How can you get someone that thinks "I don't care if the new stuff is bad, I'll pay for it anyway" and make them to refund your game? XD
@@GarkKahn that lets you play single player, but has the community figured out a way to replace battle net? And all the amazing player maps being gone/broken. Ugh hopefully someone at MS will tell them to fix it/separate it, or foot the bill for a proper remaster or remake. So very doubtful though. Not sure why they couldn't just do what they did with the Starcraft remaster
Me and my brothers played this all the time on LAN as kids it was so much fun. I was always undead they were the best. I recently just started playing Diablo 2 and found Carbots vids looking for videos. Amazing series and this Warcraft one is epic. And NICE LOTR references lol.
I had forgotten how much fun this game is. I wish Blizzard comes up with Warcraft 4. But this time adding the Naga and the Forsaken as playing factions, and a population cap of at least 200.
Microsoft purchased Blizzard earlier this year, hopefully they can steer the ship in the right direction now. Sorry, I meant to say... hopefully they can pull the ship from the bottom of the ocean, fix it, THEN steer it in the right direction.
Episode 2 - Tower Aid made me laugh 😂. The moment the peon disappeared, I knew that he was going to be "invisible". What made me specifically ROFL is when the Saw floated upward. Xaxaxaxaxaxaxa
You are appreciated CarbotAnimations. I have played this game for many years and you are so good at attention to detail. So much humor beyond the goofiness. 11/10!
I'm sad they didn't continue this series. I feel undead didn't get enough attention, there were plenty of other heroes unexplored, and of course other aspects like custom games and campaign to pick apart.
All the moments about the mechanics of Warcraft were very funny (how buildings are built, how arrows fly at enemies, how creep aggro works, how heroes stack items and other crazy animations). But this moment actually killed me 7:46)
@@HyperShadow991 if I pull out my ethernet cable and install the game from disc onto an external hard drive. I can play it the way God intended lol. But if I don't pull my internet and try, they "reforge" it and then it's ruined xD
This was peak RTS, something everyone could enjoy, even to newcomers and those who've never touched an RTS it didn't matter it was that brilliant, story, atmosphere and gameplay in perfect harmony..a really special fkn videogame this was Also, sub sub
but the gameplay is hard AF, 12 year old me was no match for it. i only beat it coming back after 12-14 something years on the hardest difficulty, but i wouldnt be good in multiplayer even if i had 2 lifetimes to practice lol
aw man, I still love these ;D Didn't realize how few there are compared to all the Diablols actually. I guess Carbot played heaps more Diablo 1/2 than WC3.
Is this a sign of lords? Will it be fixed? Will we finaly get the game we deserved? (Inhale Copium) But on a serious note, seeing you guys make the campaign in this style would be awesome. Thx you for all the great animations, even if Blizzard is not so great anymore
Check out Insanemonster's Re-Reforged campaign. You don't have to inhale copium anymore, the reforged we deserve is in the works (the prologue and the human maps until Stratholme are finished and free to play). Rejoice!
Well, for those who wanna understand the references, let's get into it shall we? Episode 0 0:05 - The Peasants (worker unit for the Human race) are making an Altar of Kings, which is used to train forth the Hero units of their race. 0:11 - You can have more than one Peasant work on building a structure, at a small cost of extra resources to make the building build faster. 0:25 - There are 4 Heroes per race, and the humans have the Paladin, the Dwarven Mountain King, the Archmage, and the Blood Elf Blood Mage. They choose the Paladin. 0:38 - Humans can leave buildings unfinished by moving a Peasant off of it without needing to cancel construction. 0:42 - Dumbass Peasant gets the punishment he deserves for wasting valuable APM. Episode 1 0:49 - The Paladin is trained properly at the Altar of Kings, with two Footman (base melee unit) waiting for him. 0:55 - That's the Orc hero the Blademaster, who has a habit of sniping workers due to his ability to go invisible and sneak through enemy lines. This one hid in a bush. Just as effective, apparently. Also Peasants will continue building even if they're being attacked with 6 foot long katanas. For being so dopey, they are quite dedicated. 0:58 - Heroes are powerful, but they don't do a tonne of damage in the start until they level up more. 1:00 - The game had a day/night cycle, which affects the neutral mobs (creeps) of the map, as well as reduce vision. 1:02 - Murlocs are one type of creep. Usually low level and makes for easy xp in the start of a game. 1:05 - No baby Murlocs were harmed during the creation of this cartoon. 1:10 - Murlocs, and other organic creeps, tend to sleep during the night, allowing you to ambush them for easy damage before they start fighting back. 1:13 - Just because you're a Paladin doesn't mean sleeping enemies aren't fair game. 1:25 - Thankfully accidental friendly fire with melee attacks aren't a thing. 1:28 - The bread and butter of the Paladin is Holy Light, which is a single-target heal on living units. 1:32 - Killing creeps (called creeping) gives a Hero valuable xp to level up, as well as give you small amounts of gold as well. 1:35 - Some creep camps have neutral buildings based on their race. Murlocs have tall huts... for some reason. You can destroy them as there may be goodies inside. 1:37 - Universal law dictates there must always be a Patches. 1:41 - The excessive brutality kinda goes to show how fucked up creeping would be if most creeps weren't bloodthirsty monsters. 1:47 - This is a Tome, a consumable item that either provides stats, or in this case free xp. It's usually not a lot, but every bit helps. The Paladin takes the concept of "consumable item" quite literally. Family memories are tasty y'know? 1:55 - No Murlocs were harmed during the brutal murdering of their race. 1:57 - Pally boy leveled up, increasing his states and letting him learn a new spell. Episode 2 1:58 - This is a Peon, the Orc race's worker. They are adorable and hilarious. 2:05 - Where did the Peon go? 2:10 - Jesus what the hell is that? 2:14 - Surprise! When a Peon builds they go inside the structure to do it, letting them avoid harm as you gotta pop the building to get at it. It's a very annoying strategy Computer opponents can do during campaign missions. 2:19 - The animation literally has magical flying hammers and saws. It's hilarious. 2:25 - Boom, here comes the Orcish defensive structure (or in this case offensive) the Watch Tower. Much like in StarCraft, some races in WarCraft can tower rush opposing players to screw them over. 2:30 - The Orc Blademaster has an annoying spell called Mirror Image, which creates a number of fake copies of him equal to the spell's level. They don't do damage, but that doesn't mean they still can't bully the plebs. 2:35 - Best I remember, buildings don't go up in flames as you attack them. This may be a callback to WarCraft 2 that has this funny flame animation that gets bigger the more a building takes damage. It's just funny that arrows suddenly set a stone building ablaze. 2:37-2:40 - An ability of the main Human building, the Town Hall, is that you can trigger a bell that calls all nearby Peasants to come over and temporarily turn into Militia, letting them do a bit more damage and take a little less for a short duration. 2:47 - Literally nothing will stop a Peasant. They are that dedicated to not being whipped for their laziness. Also Lumber is usually harvested and delivered in units of 10, but the Humans have 2 upgrades that can increase the returns on Lumber from 10 to 15 then to 20. The ? is probably cause Carbots forgot how much they can return max, hence 25?. 2:54 - The Militia power timed out. But you can literally just re-trigger the ability again whenever you want. 3:02 - A funny thing. Did you know completely missing a shot still kills someone? What a world we live in. Seriously though, even if an arrow misses the fact that it casts means it still hits an enemy regardless. 3:06 - It is mandatory for Blademasters to be dummy thicc. Promotes balance, I think. 3:10 - Them Humans fell for a Mirror Image fakeout, letting the real Blademaster get away while the Humans attack the fake.
Episode 3 3:12 - These are the Night Elves, who have living buildings. The one with the staff is the Ancient of Lore that produces certain magic-based units, the walrus is the Ancient of War that produces basic units, and Wispy Woods over there is the Tree of Life that is their main structure. The sweet pools are Moon Wells which increases the unit limit. 3:14 - This is a Dryad. She is hilarious. The shiny balls behind her in the trees are Wisps, the worker unit of the race that can bond to trees to passively gain wood without needing to chop trees down. Night Elves are the hippy race. 3:19 - MORTAR! COMBAT! The Dwarven Mortar Team are the Human's siege unit, letting them wreck buildings from a safe distance. 3:22 - Daughter of a demigod folks. 3:34 - Buildings have an armour type called Fortified, which takes reduced damage from all damage sources, while taking extra damage from Siege-type damage. Dwarven Mortar Teams do Siege damage. 3:40 - Daughter of a demigod, folks. 3:45 - Can't tell if Reaver joke, or just Wisps being bombed by Mortar Team. 3:48 - This is a Night Elf Hero, the Keeper of the Grove who is a son of a demigod, and thus the Dryad's brother. 3:50 - Son of a demigod folks. 3:52 - The buildings that fight back. Any Ent-class Night Elf Building (basically the ones who have "Ancient" or "Tree of" in their name) can fight back. 3:55 - Not well, obviously, though you'd think a giant-tree would do more damage wouldn't ya? 3:57 - Please don't kick the Tree of Life in the acorns. It's not nice. What if he kicked you in your acorns huh? 4:02 - The Tree of Life and the Ancients can uproot themselves and run away, effectively creating a mobile base as well as just a massive unit to block enemies with that can fight back. 4:10 - Children of a demigod, folks. 4:17 - Dryads literally have some of the funniest voice lines ever. Including one that Blizzard removed from Reforged that was really funny. The bastards. Episode 4 4:22 - This is the Acolyte, the worker unit of the Undead race. They're prissy and afraid to get their robes dirty, so instead of working in a mine they instead Haunt it using a special building placed over a Mine, and then channel to extract gold from it. 4:28 - 10 gold is the max gold you can extract per run from a mine. 4:30-4:32 - Say hello to someone more effective than the Dryad. The Huntress is the mid-range unit of the Night Elves whose glaive attack can bounce between enemies. 4:34 - This is the Searing Arrow, an ability of the Pristess of the Moon. (Thot on the white tiger.) Its an ability that can be turned on and off that causes her attacks to do bonus damage, but consume a set amount of mana per shot. It doesn't set anything on fire, but that Acolyte was asking for it with those ultra flammable robes. 4:37 - Mr Raspy is the Undead unit called the Gargoyle, and the bird-moose thing is the Hippogriff used by the Night Elves. Both of them do a lot of damage, but only against air units. 4:42 - The Gargoyle can land and turn to stone using the Stone Form ability. In this state it can't fight or move, but has a tonne of extra armour and also regens health faster. The Hippogriff can't do dick about it as the stupid thing can only attack air units. 4:47 - That's a Night Elf Archer attacking the Undead's basic melee unit the Ghoul, who can also harvest lumber because the Acolytes could break a nail chopping lumber. 4:49 - That's the Sacrificial Pit, which is a mostly useless building that's mandatory to upgrade your main building to its final tier. You can also sacrifice Acolytes to it, which this one was all too willing to do. 4:51 - Behold the Altar of Darkness, which calls forth Undead Heroes, like the Lich here. A master of ice magics, he is absolutely beautiful in that dress of his. 4:56 - Genuinely not sure if the Gargoyle is stronger than that many Hippogriffs, but it can do a decent chunk of damage. 5:00 - Say hello the NE's heavy assault flyer, the Chimera. Boasting a powerful magic attack and an upgrade that lets it tear buildings apart, nothing can stand up to its monstrous might. 5:04 - Except maybe one flappy boi. 5:08 - Gargoyles can attack ground units. Just not for a lot of damage. 5:16-5:23 - The Lich is pissed, and thus brings out his most destructive spell... Frost Armour.... It's a buff spell that gives bonus armour and puts a debuff on those who melee the buffed target, making them move and attack slower for a short duration. Here he is using it as a bluff to scare away the hippies. 5:27 - After a short stint in the Sacrificial Pit, an Acolyte becomes a Shade, an invisible, ghost-like entity that can be used for spying and scouting. 5:32 - Who would go unseen if the Huntress hadn't left a Sentinel on a tree, which can reveal a small area around it as well as reveal invisible units like the Shade. 5:33 - Sentinels are tattle tales that deserve to get bullied during recess. 5:34 - Shades are not very durable.
Episode 5 5:38 - That's another Orc Hero, the Tauren Chieftain. He has a very useful aura called Endurance Aura that increases the move speed of nearby allied units. Here he's using it to make the Peons get to and from the mine faster. 5:46 - That's the Human Archmage, an assault caster of unfathomable age and incredible petulance. Dude goes around on a horse all the time. Won't even walk. How old is this dude? 5:48 - Every race has a shop they can build that lets them purchase items. Ivory Towers can be purchased from the Human Shop, which literally lets you set up a Scout Tower wherever the hell they want. The Capsule Corp logo is a cute Dragon Ball reference. 5:56 - Ivory Tower-made Scout Towers build a bajillion times faster than a Peasant-made one. So it gives time for other Scout Towers to get built while the enemy focuses on the IT one. 6:04 - Scout Towers can be upgraded into three different structures. The fancy hats show they've become Guard Towers, which, like the Watch Tower, shoots arrows on people. 6:08 - Guard Towers can't actually move. But it'd be funny if they could. 6:09 - This is another bout of Tower Rushing. Guess the Humans were still pissed when the Orcs did it to them back in Episode 2. 6:13 - The Orc supply structure is called the Orc Burrow, which Peons can garrison to protect them while turning the Burrow into a defensive structure. 6:17-6:20 - Bless their little cotton socks they do try don't they? 6:23 - There are a set of upgrades for the Orcs that add spikes to all their buildings, causing melee units to take damage whenever they attack them. 6:25 - Archmages are jerks. They can also create a summoned unit called a Water Elemental, which can soak up some damage while dishing it too. This one is being used to serve drinks. Clearly a good use of its summon timer. The water in the glasses may or may not be Mana Potions, which are coloured blue and restore sets amount of mana. 6:36 - Water Elemental is very protective of his granddaddy. 6:45 - Have I mentioned that Archmages are jerks yet? 6:50 - Pwned. 7:01 - Now that the Tauren Chieftain has gotten his giant butt in gear, he casts the Shockwave spell, which does damage to all enemy untis and buildings in a line. 7:12 - And thus ends the Water Elemental's short life on this mortal plane. And he ends it immaculately. Episode 6 7:19-7:25 - This uncomfortable close-up is of the third Orc Hero, the Farseer. Using his Far Sight spell, he gets vision of the Night Elf base and sees it is ripe for the picking. 7:29 - The Far Seer rides a huge-ass wolf into battle, cause he's old. He's also followed by the Orc Raider unit. 7:37-7:39 - Raiders do Siege damage, making them ideal for raiding and tearing apart bases. There is also an upgrade you can get that allows them, Peons, and the basic unit the Grunt to get a small amount of gold and lumber every time they attack an enemy building. 7:40 - That's a Sudowoodo. They are full of money apparently. 7:46 - The Moon Wells that the Archers are hiding in restore health and mana as well as increase unit limit, making them useful in base defence and for raids by topping your units up. 7:52 - This is the Far Seer's main offensive spell, Chain Lightning. It bounces between enemy units, but does reduced damage after each bounce. 7:56 - Those adorable doggies were summoned by the Far Seer's Feral Spirit spell, which summons two spirit wolves. The adorable little ball is a Wisp. 8:00 - 8:03 - Yeah, Wisps can use a skill called Detonate, dealing a tonne of damage to summoned units. It also does a very mild mana drain to those hit. 8:06-8:10 - Far Seer got mana sapped again, this time by the Night Elf Hero the Demon Hunter. The spell is called Mana Burn, and it saps a certain amount of mana, and deals damage to the target equal to the amount of mana lost. 8:13 - The Demon Hunter has a passive he can learn called Evasion. It lets him be a giant butt hole and dodge attacks. 8:22 - No, the Demon Hunter isn't a masochist, he's just lighting himself the fuck on fire with his Immolation spell. It grants him a shield that causes damage to enemy units in melee range, but saps mana while it's on. 8:25 - Come back guys! He just wants a hug!
Episode 7 8:27 - The Night Elves are creeping, fighting a strong Hydra creep you can find on some maps. 8:32-8:35 - Night Elf birds are just plain tattle tales at this point. This one is the Pristess of the Moon's Scout spell, which summons an invulnerable owl that can fly around and scout for enemies. It's spotted some incoming Orcs. 8:38 - The Tauren Chieftain is out on the prowl with two Grunts and a Kodo Rider. The Rider is a useful support unit that can eat enemy non-heroic units, and also has an aura that increases base damage. 8:39-8:41 - An item that can be bought from a Night Elf shop building is a Moonstone, which temporarily makes it night time. This allows female Night Elf units (literally just the Priestess of the Moon, Archer, Huntress, and another Night Elf Hero called the Warden) to turn invisible so long as they don't move or attack. 8:42 - With no enemies and its being night time, Mr. Hydra gets sleepy. 8:52 - With the Hydra asleep, the Orcs take advantage of this to make use of the prize the Hydra was guarding: A Fountain of Mana. There are neutral buildings called Fountains that either increase health regen (Fountain of Health), or mana regen (Fountain of Mana). I guess the Orcs just wanted to chill for a bit in the pretty purple waters, as only the Tauren Chieftain would even find this useful. 8:57 - Irony so thick you'd need a Blademaster's sword to cut it. 9:03 - Normally the Archer should be revealed when attacking, but that wouldn't be funny now would it? 9:06 - They dun fucked up now. 9:10 - Invisible walls? Now I've seen everything. 9:13 - Being an Elder Hydra, it can also use Devour like the Kodo Rider can. Bye bye Grunt. 9:15 - Being invisible but not intangible, the Night Elves path blocked the Grunt, preventing his escape. 9:17 - The Keeper of the Grove has the Force of Nature spell, that can topple some trees and create summoned units called Treants. 9:22 - The Ancient Hydra, being a high level unit, drops some sweet loot. In this case is coughed up not one but two Crown of Kings, an incredibly good item that gives +5 to a Hero's Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. They look fabulous on the Keeper of the Grove. The Ancient Hydra is also supposed to split into two normal Hydras, but I digress. Episode 8 9:32-9:36 - The Paladin has walked into a neutral building called a Tavern, which allows you to hire a Hero instead of training one from the your own race's Altar. Gold has been thrown to hire the Beastmaster Hero, who specializes in summoned units. Also present is the big purple guy, who is the Pit Lord Hero who specializes in tanking and debuffing with his Howl of Terror spell. Then there's the drunk at the counter who is the Pandaren Brewmaster, who is a tricky melee fighter. And the pair of eyes in a hood is the Dark Ranger Hero, who specializes in screwing over mages with her Silence spell as well as domination with her Charm ultimate spell. 9:42 - I want to be, the very best, like no one ever was! 9:52 - The first of the Beastmaster's summons, the Hawk is an aerial units that can do damage and also detect invisible units. 9:57 - To catch them is my real quest! To train them is my cause! 10:04 - Next is the Quillbest summon. It's a ranged attacker that at later levels gets an attack steroid ability to attack even faster. 10:14 - I will travel across the land! Searching far and wide! 10:22 - The pick of the litter in the Beastmaster's beasts, the summoned bear can hit like a truck, and stun like one after Level 2 with its handy Bash passive. The thing can even Blink at Level 3 how cool is that?! 10:27 - Each Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside! 10:30-10:40 - Here comes the Beasty boy's ultimate spell, STAMPEDE! He sends waves of Thunder Lizards into a frenzy, stampeding around a target area. The things actually gib and explode when they hit stuff too. It's hilarious. Episode 9 10:54 - An ability Ancients and Trees of have is the ability to devour trees on the map. This gives them a HoT effect letting them recover health without needing to be repaired. 11:09 - That Ancient Protector (Night Elf defensive structure) is pissed! 11:16 - Ancient Protectors hurl rocks as their attack when they're rooted. If they're walking about, they instead get a melee attack where they bitch slap enemy units. 11:28 - That Ancient Protector got picked up by the Mountain Giant, the Night Elf's heavy unit. In the actual game, they can destroy a tree to turn it into a club, which lets them do Siege damage for twenty hits before reverting back to their normal melee attacks as their club breaks. 11:32 - Saur'man the White Wolf is displeased with the attack on Isengrimmar. 11:37 - Yeah, the Mountain Giant's Siege damage won't do much on stuff that ain't Fortified. 11:38 - That's a Sudowoodo. It can be set on fire. Apparently. 11:45 - The Priestess of the Moon just chugged an Invulnerability Potion, which grants short-term immunity to everything. But it lasts just enough time for her to use her ultimate spell Starfall, which attacks every enemy in range with shooting stars. Fun fact, this combo actually allows you to cheese the final Night Elf mission of the original Reign of Chaos Campaign by having the Pristess chug Invulnerability Potions, then having her Starfall the enemy base to kill their production. Episode 10 11:52 - Humans are still creeping for that sweet sweet gold and loot. 11:58 - Our bad boi Paladin has outfitted his himself with an item called the Claws of Attack, which boosts his base damage by either +3, +6, +9, +12, or +15 depending on what Claws they are. Just by his DILIGAF attitude, they must be sweet ass claws. 12:00-12:03 - Oh look, he's found another sweet pair to use. The damage from Claws stack, making him an effective battler as well as a tank. 12:05 - Creeping is horrible when you really think about it. 12:08 - No, the Footman isn't dumb, he's just attacking an enemy called a Mud Golem, which is a pile of muddy balls in the vague shape of a humanoid. 12:13 - Wow, we haven't heard from the Undead in a while have we? Here we have the Undead Hero called the Dreadlord, who is a melee fighter that specializes in sowing chaos and being a pain. He's paired up with some Crypt Fiends, who are undead spiders. Which is awesome. 12:16 - Crypt Fiends can learn the Web ability, which lets them bind flying units and drag them down to the ground so melee units and ground-based ranged units can kick their shit in. 12:24 - The Paladin's Holy Light spell has a second effect to it, wherein if used on an enemy Undead unit, they take damage instead of being healed. It's very DnD. 12:27 - As Illidan says, YOU WERE NOT PREPARED! 12:30 - That's a lotta Claws, and a lotta damage. If they're all +15. the Paladin legit would have an extra 90 damage added to his attacks. 12:31 - A rival appears. The Keeper of the Grove with literally 6 Crown of Kings, granting him +30 to each of his main stats. That is actually pretty busted. 12:44 - I don't know who's going to win this one, though the Keeper has an aura called Thorns Aura, which returns a certain % of damage taken back onto a melee attacker.
This is truly a thing of beauty. Takes me all the way back to GenCon in Milwaukee when I bought the warchest edition. Good times, great animation. Thanks man!
@@tureytayno3154 Oh, that's not ONLY because I suck at RTS, there's also the fact I particularly liked the lore of WarCraft, Tides of Darkness was one of the first PC games I played (mostly during LAN events) and the setting, music, art caught me. I know of Age of Mythology and its reputation but that particular setting never appealed to me. See, while I love those ancient mythologies, their pantheons and stories, as the son of an History enthusiast I've kind of grew to an overdose of Roman legionaries' skirts. I hate those damn uniforms, and their damn spathas. I never did a FallOut NV playthrough in which I managed to bear Caesar's Legion more than 5 minutes. Picking a Roman god in SMITE gives me nausea. And what with Imperials being damn everywhere in the Elder's Scrolls series !? No need to say I skipped Oblivion. TL;DR I pretty much prefer full fantasy settings rather than one inspired by this era :p Also Total War titles are a good spot for me since it's more of a 4X with RTS battles, meaning I don't have to manage my troops and structures at the same time. All in all I'd say there's no shortage of turn-based strategy games to enjoy, WarCraft 2 and 3 were just that good and accessible to get me interested in the campaign and even dabble in multiplayer DESPITE them being RTS. Also to this day, I'm stuck at the StarCraft mission in which you must rescue Artanis (iirc) and my Brood War CD cries in a corner.

I give a hug for....
I don't know what her name!
@@spidersplitsecond9225 She's just a Dryad unit
I really wish these series continued and explored the OG campaign, regardless of reforged nonsense.
Would love to see it as well, but guess its hard to love something that doesn't love you back.
as a guy who still plays wc3 everyday, this is absolutely brilliant. I love you you and showed this to all my wc3 groups.
Are you serious? 20 years? Wow. I remember buying this game around June 2002
Sameeeee
@@dimitristripakis7364 they still come out with new custom maps like azeroth wars style maps. But reforged killed it somewhat I think
ou man, I am from spain and i still play this game every day ;)
Same bro
The nostalgia hit like a truck full of people here man, it was a great vídeo.
Couldn't stop laughing at the quotes, but 3:38 slayed me
I always thought the dryad's quotes were the best. I'm glad Carbot made them so funny here! She also has some really good ones when you click on her repeatedly, like "I'm game!" (because she's half deer) th-cam.com/video/_GpjsaI4H04/w-d-xo.html
"Are we being invaded?" XD
Also loved the undead in slippers and a house robe with his coffee in the comfy chair at 10:35. lol
He was "CHILLING"
Man the Keeper of the Grove with those helmets all around just killed me lmao
I realized too late he had 6 crowns of kings in his inventory :D
Hah,, and your comment in turn made me realize it and that the paladin had the claws in his inventory that add damage @@babecznik7433
A shame this series never took off.
Likely due to the failure that was “Refunded”. -_-
I was wondering why it was never continue, but I guess it makes sense
It has to be like that. The views on wc3 stuff was so well like on others series. Wondering that Blizzards power reach even to this channel here....
I don't get why the series was canned so quickly. So much support from fans of the original he probably could've gone at least as long as Diablol2.
@@torgranael Loss of passion for the source material. I imagine it’s why we’ll rarely see a new blizzard animation anytime soon.
De quién esa nota📄te a preguntado-_-
the arrows never hitting the footman yet killing him got me so good,
but this, this took the cake for me. 5:26 & 8:14
"Help help I'm being repressed" great monty python - holy grail quote.
Goddamn these sfx and music are like an injection of pure nostalgia straight to the brain.
Gastly cry, Capsule Corp capsule, Sudowoodo, Rexxar-Ash, Ent March, the best references. This is why Carbot is the best on TH-cam. Keep up the good work man
"Help Help, I'm being repressed!"
Monty Python quotes never get old.
The gastly cry killed me
Thank you for all these bright memories :)
That new outro ending felt like there is a big emptiness inside me. The music, the graphics feels like the great things are the past, and there is no more new or exciting from what we loved and love since the beginning of warcraft lore.
Every good gaming thing fades away..
Damn dude. I really felt this.
Go play elden ring. It has been a long time since we got a game so genuinely good with no bs in it. It’s a masterpiece. So don’t be so down. Good things are yet to come.
I agree with the sentiment however there are some bright areas in gaming. Elden Ring being one of them. Stay away from the rehashed, re-skinned franchises and for the love of all that is good stay away from any game or company that prioritizes "games as a service". This Activision, Ubisoft, and EA etc, etc corporate garbage philosophy has destroyed gaming and brought us to the current state we are in today.
What does Elden ring have to do with WC3. WC3 is still played 20 years later. All the new games are the same. Soulslike, 3rd person open world like AC and over the shoulder action games. Is Elden ring still going to be played after 20 years?
The combination of wholesome and heartshattering is incredible
Nostalgia hit hard
Wish i can go back to W3 instead being here where we almost hit WW3
They even remastered it ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Not gonna be a ww3, if there was you wouldn't know it we would be nuked within 5mins
omg this is so accurate. the smallest of the gameplays details are included. I love it!
"In this world where time is your enemy. It is my greatest ally. This grand game of life that you think you play in fact plays you. To that I say... let the games begin!" - Master Oogway when he was into World of Warcraft
Too bad that Reforged was a fail, I wish Carbot made more videos on WC:III😔
omg i about died laughing. you have my kind of comedy. the lich falling down the steps. the cat getting its tung frozen.
"What is nature's call?" - (shrugs shoulders) - "Move your ass!". That's my favourite for sure! XD
I cannot get enough of how adorable the dryad looks wagging her tail.
Masterpiece to put game dialogues and use them in right moment
I've been saying "Work werk" when I got to do something to this day since WC3 release.
Had 2 friends in highschool that played the Heck out of WC3 then xpac together. I contacted them when WC3R was announced. We were excited we we going to play together for first time in like 15 years. Then.... It came it. I was already too smart to ever preorder a blizzard game. I can't believe they ruined the original too. That's the worst part. Fk blizzard
I fell for it. I was part of the "we do not preorder" crew, but I figured... fuck, I only played WC3 as a kid because my dad pirated it for me. "I don't care if it's good or bad, I'll just buy it to play WC3 legit." I was so hyped about the new stuff and playing online and everything....
Then it came.
Played 2 days or so before I was... completely disenchanted. I didn't refund it, gave it a month to see if they'd work on it.
Months later I came back to it, played for a bit, and still found MANY FEATURES that my pirated game had, and I just... refunded. How can you mess up something so bad, it's beyond imagination. How can you get someone that thinks "I don't care if the new stuff is bad, I'll pay for it anyway" and make them to refund your game? XD
Welcome to the real blizzard
Well i still had my frozen throne box thankfully haha
@@GarkKahn that lets you play single player, but has the community figured out a way to replace battle net? And all the amazing player maps being gone/broken. Ugh hopefully someone at MS will tell them to fix it/separate it, or foot the bill for a proper remaster or remake. So very doubtful though. Not sure why they couldn't just do what they did with the Starcraft remaster
You mean....Fuck Activision Blizzard.
Oh. Guess there's no more Warcrafts after all.
@tea bag Believe me, I won't see it.
@tea bag Oh look, another bait and switch. You expect relevancy, this provides nothing of the sort.
the music of this game is so otherworldly immersive ...
Me and my brothers played this all the time on LAN as kids it was so much fun. I was always undead they were the best. I recently just started playing Diablo 2 and found Carbots vids looking for videos. Amazing series and this Warcraft one is epic. And NICE LOTR references lol.
This is made by someone who knows warcraft so so well!
This is such an amazing video if you get most of the references, brought back so many memories!
I had forgotten how much fun this game is. I wish Blizzard comes up with Warcraft 4. But this time adding the Naga and the Forsaken as playing factions, and a population cap of at least 200.
Microsoft purchased Blizzard earlier this year, hopefully they can steer the ship in the right direction now.
Sorry, I meant to say... hopefully they can pull the ship from the bottom of the ocean, fix it, THEN steer it in the right direction.
Episode 2 - Tower Aid made me laugh 😂. The moment the peon disappeared, I knew that he was going to be "invisible". What made me specifically ROFL is when the Saw floated upward. Xaxaxaxaxaxaxa
Classic Carbots.
Brilliant stuff.
And oh so accurate.
Who threatens the Wilds?
Liked. Great video. Should have a jillion subs
You are appreciated CarbotAnimations. I have played this game for many years and you are so good at attention to detail. So much humor beyond the goofiness. 11/10!
39 seconds in and I already had two BIG laughs.
Lmao the Tauren Chieftain aura bonus
обожаю их анимации) 5 лет прошло а всё так же актуальны)
I'm sad they didn't continue this series. I feel undead didn't get enough attention, there were plenty of other heroes unexplored, and of course other aspects like custom games and campaign to pick apart.
Damn the outro screen makes me want to play again... This game made me grow so much, it's just part of my education, just like many blizzard games
Gotta love the nostalgia. Spectator work Carbot!
All the moments about the mechanics of Warcraft were very funny (how buildings are built, how arrows fly at enemies, how creep aggro works, how heroes stack items and other crazy animations). But this moment actually killed me 7:46)
honestly warcraft ended after the lich king died
na verdade mists of pandaria foi uma excelente expansão para o cair no wod
WOW is trash. warcraft ended on tft.
WOW terminó cuando derrotamos a la legión ardiente
Funny, it's still going pretty strong.
This was such a great game. It's a shame I can _never play it again_
you can get original versions of it including upto the last patch before the one that ruined it
@@HyperShadow991 if I pull out my ethernet cable and install the game from disc onto an external hard drive. I can play it the way God intended lol.
But if I don't pull my internet and try, they "reforge" it and then it's ruined xD
I won’t tell you the solution, but I will give a hint: yarrrrrrrr
Towers wearing hats to become guard towers was funny as hell
Man couldn’t stop laughing when everybody is asleep at home, thanks so much
That Gastly cry at 5:27 💀
As someone who plays this game regularly your attention to detail is astounding LMAO!! 🤣😂😄👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽👍🏽
Really good work, especially when Rexxar summons Misha, that joyful bear is so attractive, I simply cannot resist!
Amazing work. As an old tryharder I got everything and had some good laughs. TY
This was peak RTS, something everyone could enjoy, even to newcomers and those who've never touched an RTS it didn't matter it was that brilliant, story, atmosphere and gameplay in perfect harmony..a really special fkn videogame this was
Also, sub sub
but the gameplay is hard AF, 12 year old me was no match for it. i only beat it coming back after 12-14 something years on the hardest difficulty, but i wouldnt be good in multiplayer even if i had 2 lifetimes to practice lol
The Pokemon bit was the best, and the "Ent" part to follow!
This is my childhood. I need that nostalgia. Thanks CarbotAnimations!
Hahaha "help help i'm being repressed" got me
aw man, I still love these ;D
Didn't realize how few there are compared to all the Diablols actually.
I guess Carbot played heaps more Diablo 1/2 than WC3.
The Sudowoodo getting pillaged gets me everytime :D
cant even highlight, its just awesome from start to end, well done!
Ready to work.
5:57 shout out to LOTR Two Towers OS music there
Oh man 😅 you remind me of my childhood. So satisfying to watch your work 😉
I love the orc raiders cutting everything and getting gold lol
It’s called pillage in game which makes it even better knowing that’s how the mechanic actually works
Is this a sign of lords? Will it be fixed? Will we finaly get the game we deserved? (Inhale Copium)
But on a serious note, seeing you guys make the campaign in this style would be awesome.
Thx you for all the great animations, even if Blizzard is not so great anymore
Check out Insanemonster's Re-Reforged campaign. You don't have to inhale copium anymore, the reforged we deserve is in the works (the prologue and the human maps until Stratholme are finished and free to play).
Rejoice!
Blizzard just make a skin where you can play Reforged with Carbot Animation graphics. Problem Solved
This is a masterpice inded!!!
I loved this all the way through. You did an amazing job on this!
For some unexplicable reason i still remember that wolf raiders deal siege damage, and they really make these buildings bleed.
12:22
footman: thanks!
ghoul: NO THANKS! **DED**
”Build more farms”
Haha, brilliant!
Never played W3 as a kid, was waiting for reforged but since that sucked I'll just settle with watching all your work, it's amazing!
That Korgath lady scream gets me every time. :)
Two(ish) years later and we still do not know who won that fight at the end. The two warriors are forever duking it out, like Highlander.
Appreciate the EPIC LOTR music in the background!
The undead shadow appering as a Gastly with the sound from the first pokemon game on Gameboy had me giggle more than I should have xD
5:30 lmao
Best part was the Footman running around the tree chasing the Wisp. LET ME AT 'EM!
Well, for those who wanna understand the references, let's get into it shall we?
Episode 0
0:05 - The Peasants (worker unit for the Human race) are making an Altar of Kings, which is used to train forth the Hero units of their race.
0:11 - You can have more than one Peasant work on building a structure, at a small cost of extra resources to make the building build faster.
0:25 - There are 4 Heroes per race, and the humans have the Paladin, the Dwarven Mountain King, the Archmage, and the Blood Elf Blood Mage. They choose the Paladin.
0:38 - Humans can leave buildings unfinished by moving a Peasant off of it without needing to cancel construction.
0:42 - Dumbass Peasant gets the punishment he deserves for wasting valuable APM.
Episode 1
0:49 - The Paladin is trained properly at the Altar of Kings, with two Footman (base melee unit) waiting for him.
0:55 - That's the Orc hero the Blademaster, who has a habit of sniping workers due to his ability to go invisible and sneak through enemy lines. This one hid in a bush. Just as effective, apparently. Also Peasants will continue building even if they're being attacked with 6 foot long katanas. For being so dopey, they are quite dedicated.
0:58 - Heroes are powerful, but they don't do a tonne of damage in the start until they level up more.
1:00 - The game had a day/night cycle, which affects the neutral mobs (creeps) of the map, as well as reduce vision.
1:02 - Murlocs are one type of creep. Usually low level and makes for easy xp in the start of a game.
1:05 - No baby Murlocs were harmed during the creation of this cartoon.
1:10 - Murlocs, and other organic creeps, tend to sleep during the night, allowing you to ambush them for easy damage before they start fighting back.
1:13 - Just because you're a Paladin doesn't mean sleeping enemies aren't fair game.
1:25 - Thankfully accidental friendly fire with melee attacks aren't a thing.
1:28 - The bread and butter of the Paladin is Holy Light, which is a single-target heal on living units.
1:32 - Killing creeps (called creeping) gives a Hero valuable xp to level up, as well as give you small amounts of gold as well.
1:35 - Some creep camps have neutral buildings based on their race. Murlocs have tall huts... for some reason. You can destroy them as there may be goodies inside.
1:37 - Universal law dictates there must always be a Patches.
1:41 - The excessive brutality kinda goes to show how fucked up creeping would be if most creeps weren't bloodthirsty monsters.
1:47 - This is a Tome, a consumable item that either provides stats, or in this case free xp. It's usually not a lot, but every bit helps. The Paladin takes the concept of "consumable item" quite literally. Family memories are tasty y'know?
1:55 - No Murlocs were harmed during the brutal murdering of their race.
1:57 - Pally boy leveled up, increasing his states and letting him learn a new spell.
Episode 2
1:58 - This is a Peon, the Orc race's worker. They are adorable and hilarious.
2:05 - Where did the Peon go?
2:10 - Jesus what the hell is that?
2:14 - Surprise! When a Peon builds they go inside the structure to do it, letting them avoid harm as you gotta pop the building to get at it. It's a very annoying strategy Computer opponents can do during campaign missions.
2:19 - The animation literally has magical flying hammers and saws. It's hilarious.
2:25 - Boom, here comes the Orcish defensive structure (or in this case offensive) the Watch Tower. Much like in StarCraft, some races in WarCraft can tower rush opposing players to screw them over.
2:30 - The Orc Blademaster has an annoying spell called Mirror Image, which creates a number of fake copies of him equal to the spell's level. They don't do damage, but that doesn't mean they still can't bully the plebs.
2:35 - Best I remember, buildings don't go up in flames as you attack them. This may be a callback to WarCraft 2 that has this funny flame animation that gets bigger the more a building takes damage. It's just funny that arrows suddenly set a stone building ablaze.
2:37-2:40 - An ability of the main Human building, the Town Hall, is that you can trigger a bell that calls all nearby Peasants to come over and temporarily turn into Militia, letting them do a bit more damage and take a little less for a short duration.
2:47 - Literally nothing will stop a Peasant. They are that dedicated to not being whipped for their laziness. Also Lumber is usually harvested and delivered in units of 10, but the Humans have 2 upgrades that can increase the returns on Lumber from 10 to 15 then to 20. The ? is probably cause Carbots forgot how much they can return max, hence 25?.
2:54 - The Militia power timed out. But you can literally just re-trigger the ability again whenever you want.
3:02 - A funny thing. Did you know completely missing a shot still kills someone? What a world we live in. Seriously though, even if an arrow misses the fact that it casts means it still hits an enemy regardless.
3:06 - It is mandatory for Blademasters to be dummy thicc. Promotes balance, I think.
3:10 - Them Humans fell for a Mirror Image fakeout, letting the real Blademaster get away while the Humans attack the fake.
Episode 3
3:12 - These are the Night Elves, who have living buildings. The one with the staff is the Ancient of Lore that produces certain magic-based units, the walrus is the Ancient of War that produces basic units, and Wispy Woods over there is the Tree of Life that is their main structure. The sweet pools are Moon Wells which increases the unit limit.
3:14 - This is a Dryad. She is hilarious. The shiny balls behind her in the trees are Wisps, the worker unit of the race that can bond to trees to passively gain wood without needing to chop trees down. Night Elves are the hippy race.
3:19 - MORTAR! COMBAT! The Dwarven Mortar Team are the Human's siege unit, letting them wreck buildings from a safe distance.
3:22 - Daughter of a demigod folks.
3:34 - Buildings have an armour type called Fortified, which takes reduced damage from all damage sources, while taking extra damage from Siege-type damage. Dwarven Mortar Teams do Siege damage.
3:40 - Daughter of a demigod, folks.
3:45 - Can't tell if Reaver joke, or just Wisps being bombed by Mortar Team.
3:48 - This is a Night Elf Hero, the Keeper of the Grove who is a son of a demigod, and thus the Dryad's brother.
3:50 - Son of a demigod folks.
3:52 - The buildings that fight back. Any Ent-class Night Elf Building (basically the ones who have "Ancient" or "Tree of" in their name) can fight back.
3:55 - Not well, obviously, though you'd think a giant-tree would do more damage wouldn't ya?
3:57 - Please don't kick the Tree of Life in the acorns. It's not nice. What if he kicked you in your acorns huh?
4:02 - The Tree of Life and the Ancients can uproot themselves and run away, effectively creating a mobile base as well as just a massive unit to block enemies with that can fight back.
4:10 - Children of a demigod, folks.
4:17 - Dryads literally have some of the funniest voice lines ever. Including one that Blizzard removed from Reforged that was really funny. The bastards.
Episode 4
4:22 - This is the Acolyte, the worker unit of the Undead race. They're prissy and afraid to get their robes dirty, so instead of working in a mine they instead Haunt it using a special building placed over a Mine, and then channel to extract gold from it.
4:28 - 10 gold is the max gold you can extract per run from a mine.
4:30-4:32 - Say hello to someone more effective than the Dryad. The Huntress is the mid-range unit of the Night Elves whose glaive attack can bounce between enemies.
4:34 - This is the Searing Arrow, an ability of the Pristess of the Moon. (Thot on the white tiger.) Its an ability that can be turned on and off that causes her attacks to do bonus damage, but consume a set amount of mana per shot. It doesn't set anything on fire, but that Acolyte was asking for it with those ultra flammable robes.
4:37 - Mr Raspy is the Undead unit called the Gargoyle, and the bird-moose thing is the Hippogriff used by the Night Elves. Both of them do a lot of damage, but only against air units.
4:42 - The Gargoyle can land and turn to stone using the Stone Form ability. In this state it can't fight or move, but has a tonne of extra armour and also regens health faster. The Hippogriff can't do dick about it as the stupid thing can only attack air units.
4:47 - That's a Night Elf Archer attacking the Undead's basic melee unit the Ghoul, who can also harvest lumber because the Acolytes could break a nail chopping lumber.
4:49 - That's the Sacrificial Pit, which is a mostly useless building that's mandatory to upgrade your main building to its final tier. You can also sacrifice Acolytes to it, which this one was all too willing to do.
4:51 - Behold the Altar of Darkness, which calls forth Undead Heroes, like the Lich here. A master of ice magics, he is absolutely beautiful in that dress of his.
4:56 - Genuinely not sure if the Gargoyle is stronger than that many Hippogriffs, but it can do a decent chunk of damage.
5:00 - Say hello the NE's heavy assault flyer, the Chimera. Boasting a powerful magic attack and an upgrade that lets it tear buildings apart, nothing can stand up to its monstrous might.
5:04 - Except maybe one flappy boi.
5:08 - Gargoyles can attack ground units. Just not for a lot of damage.
5:16-5:23 - The Lich is pissed, and thus brings out his most destructive spell... Frost Armour.... It's a buff spell that gives bonus armour and puts a debuff on those who melee the buffed target, making them move and attack slower for a short duration. Here he is using it as a bluff to scare away the hippies.
5:27 - After a short stint in the Sacrificial Pit, an Acolyte becomes a Shade, an invisible, ghost-like entity that can be used for spying and scouting.
5:32 - Who would go unseen if the Huntress hadn't left a Sentinel on a tree, which can reveal a small area around it as well as reveal invisible units like the Shade.
5:33 - Sentinels are tattle tales that deserve to get bullied during recess.
5:34 - Shades are not very durable.
Episode 5
5:38 - That's another Orc Hero, the Tauren Chieftain. He has a very useful aura called Endurance Aura that increases the move speed of nearby allied units. Here he's using it to make the Peons get to and from the mine faster.
5:46 - That's the Human Archmage, an assault caster of unfathomable age and incredible petulance. Dude goes around on a horse all the time. Won't even walk. How old is this dude?
5:48 - Every race has a shop they can build that lets them purchase items. Ivory Towers can be purchased from the Human Shop, which literally lets you set up a Scout Tower wherever the hell they want. The Capsule Corp logo is a cute Dragon Ball reference.
5:56 - Ivory Tower-made Scout Towers build a bajillion times faster than a Peasant-made one. So it gives time for other Scout Towers to get built while the enemy focuses on the IT one.
6:04 - Scout Towers can be upgraded into three different structures. The fancy hats show they've become Guard Towers, which, like the Watch Tower, shoots arrows on people.
6:08 - Guard Towers can't actually move. But it'd be funny if they could.
6:09 - This is another bout of Tower Rushing. Guess the Humans were still pissed when the Orcs did it to them back in Episode 2.
6:13 - The Orc supply structure is called the Orc Burrow, which Peons can garrison to protect them while turning the Burrow into a defensive structure.
6:17-6:20 - Bless their little cotton socks they do try don't they?
6:23 - There are a set of upgrades for the Orcs that add spikes to all their buildings, causing melee units to take damage whenever they attack them.
6:25 - Archmages are jerks. They can also create a summoned unit called a Water Elemental, which can soak up some damage while dishing it too. This one is being used to serve drinks. Clearly a good use of its summon timer. The water in the glasses may or may not be Mana Potions, which are coloured blue and restore sets amount of mana.
6:36 - Water Elemental is very protective of his granddaddy.
6:45 - Have I mentioned that Archmages are jerks yet?
6:50 - Pwned.
7:01 - Now that the Tauren Chieftain has gotten his giant butt in gear, he casts the Shockwave spell, which does damage to all enemy untis and buildings in a line.
7:12 - And thus ends the Water Elemental's short life on this mortal plane. And he ends it immaculately.
Episode 6
7:19-7:25 - This uncomfortable close-up is of the third Orc Hero, the Farseer. Using his Far Sight spell, he gets vision of the Night Elf base and sees it is ripe for the picking.
7:29 - The Far Seer rides a huge-ass wolf into battle, cause he's old. He's also followed by the Orc Raider unit.
7:37-7:39 - Raiders do Siege damage, making them ideal for raiding and tearing apart bases. There is also an upgrade you can get that allows them, Peons, and the basic unit the Grunt to get a small amount of gold and lumber every time they attack an enemy building.
7:40 - That's a Sudowoodo. They are full of money apparently.
7:46 - The Moon Wells that the Archers are hiding in restore health and mana as well as increase unit limit, making them useful in base defence and for raids by topping your units up.
7:52 - This is the Far Seer's main offensive spell, Chain Lightning. It bounces between enemy units, but does reduced damage after each bounce.
7:56 - Those adorable doggies were summoned by the Far Seer's Feral Spirit spell, which summons two spirit wolves. The adorable little ball is a Wisp.
8:00 - 8:03 - Yeah, Wisps can use a skill called Detonate, dealing a tonne of damage to summoned units. It also does a very mild mana drain to those hit.
8:06-8:10 - Far Seer got mana sapped again, this time by the Night Elf Hero the Demon Hunter. The spell is called Mana Burn, and it saps a certain amount of mana, and deals damage to the target equal to the amount of mana lost.
8:13 - The Demon Hunter has a passive he can learn called Evasion. It lets him be a giant butt hole and dodge attacks.
8:22 - No, the Demon Hunter isn't a masochist, he's just lighting himself the fuck on fire with his Immolation spell. It grants him a shield that causes damage to enemy units in melee range, but saps mana while it's on.
8:25 - Come back guys! He just wants a hug!
Episode 7
8:27 - The Night Elves are creeping, fighting a strong Hydra creep you can find on some maps.
8:32-8:35 - Night Elf birds are just plain tattle tales at this point. This one is the Pristess of the Moon's Scout spell, which summons an invulnerable owl that can fly around and scout for enemies. It's spotted some incoming Orcs.
8:38 - The Tauren Chieftain is out on the prowl with two Grunts and a Kodo Rider. The Rider is a useful support unit that can eat enemy non-heroic units, and also has an aura that increases base damage.
8:39-8:41 - An item that can be bought from a Night Elf shop building is a Moonstone, which temporarily makes it night time. This allows female Night Elf units (literally just the Priestess of the Moon, Archer, Huntress, and another Night Elf Hero called the Warden) to turn invisible so long as they don't move or attack.
8:42 - With no enemies and its being night time, Mr. Hydra gets sleepy.
8:52 - With the Hydra asleep, the Orcs take advantage of this to make use of the prize the Hydra was guarding: A Fountain of Mana. There are neutral buildings called Fountains that either increase health regen (Fountain of Health), or mana regen (Fountain of Mana). I guess the Orcs just wanted to chill for a bit in the pretty purple waters, as only the Tauren Chieftain would even find this useful.
8:57 - Irony so thick you'd need a Blademaster's sword to cut it.
9:03 - Normally the Archer should be revealed when attacking, but that wouldn't be funny now would it?
9:06 - They dun fucked up now.
9:10 - Invisible walls? Now I've seen everything.
9:13 - Being an Elder Hydra, it can also use Devour like the Kodo Rider can. Bye bye Grunt.
9:15 - Being invisible but not intangible, the Night Elves path blocked the Grunt, preventing his escape.
9:17 - The Keeper of the Grove has the Force of Nature spell, that can topple some trees and create summoned units called Treants.
9:22 - The Ancient Hydra, being a high level unit, drops some sweet loot. In this case is coughed up not one but two Crown of Kings, an incredibly good item that gives +5 to a Hero's Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. They look fabulous on the Keeper of the Grove. The Ancient Hydra is also supposed to split into two normal Hydras, but I digress.
Episode 8
9:32-9:36 - The Paladin has walked into a neutral building called a Tavern, which allows you to hire a Hero instead of training one from the your own race's Altar. Gold has been thrown to hire the Beastmaster Hero, who specializes in summoned units. Also present is the big purple guy, who is the Pit Lord Hero who specializes in tanking and debuffing with his Howl of Terror spell. Then there's the drunk at the counter who is the Pandaren Brewmaster, who is a tricky melee fighter. And the pair of eyes in a hood is the Dark Ranger Hero, who specializes in screwing over mages with her Silence spell as well as domination with her Charm ultimate spell.
9:42 - I want to be, the very best, like no one ever was!
9:52 - The first of the Beastmaster's summons, the Hawk is an aerial units that can do damage and also detect invisible units.
9:57 - To catch them is my real quest! To train them is my cause!
10:04 - Next is the Quillbest summon. It's a ranged attacker that at later levels gets an attack steroid ability to attack even faster.
10:14 - I will travel across the land! Searching far and wide!
10:22 - The pick of the litter in the Beastmaster's beasts, the summoned bear can hit like a truck, and stun like one after Level 2 with its handy Bash passive. The thing can even Blink at Level 3 how cool is that?!
10:27 - Each Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside!
10:30-10:40 - Here comes the Beasty boy's ultimate spell, STAMPEDE! He sends waves of Thunder Lizards into a frenzy, stampeding around a target area. The things actually gib and explode when they hit stuff too. It's hilarious.
Episode 9
10:54 - An ability Ancients and Trees of have is the ability to devour trees on the map. This gives them a HoT effect letting them recover health without needing to be repaired.
11:09 - That Ancient Protector (Night Elf defensive structure) is pissed!
11:16 - Ancient Protectors hurl rocks as their attack when they're rooted. If they're walking about, they instead get a melee attack where they bitch slap enemy units.
11:28 - That Ancient Protector got picked up by the Mountain Giant, the Night Elf's heavy unit. In the actual game, they can destroy a tree to turn it into a club, which lets them do Siege damage for twenty hits before reverting back to their normal melee attacks as their club breaks.
11:32 - Saur'man the White Wolf is displeased with the attack on Isengrimmar.
11:37 - Yeah, the Mountain Giant's Siege damage won't do much on stuff that ain't Fortified.
11:38 - That's a Sudowoodo. It can be set on fire. Apparently.
11:45 - The Priestess of the Moon just chugged an Invulnerability Potion, which grants short-term immunity to everything. But it lasts just enough time for her to use her ultimate spell Starfall, which attacks every enemy in range with shooting stars. Fun fact, this combo actually allows you to cheese the final Night Elf mission of the original Reign of Chaos Campaign by having the Pristess chug Invulnerability Potions, then having her Starfall the enemy base to kill their production.
Episode 10
11:52 - Humans are still creeping for that sweet sweet gold and loot.
11:58 - Our bad boi Paladin has outfitted his himself with an item called the Claws of Attack, which boosts his base damage by either +3, +6, +9, +12, or +15 depending on what Claws they are. Just by his DILIGAF attitude, they must be sweet ass claws.
12:00-12:03 - Oh look, he's found another sweet pair to use. The damage from Claws stack, making him an effective battler as well as a tank.
12:05 - Creeping is horrible when you really think about it.
12:08 - No, the Footman isn't dumb, he's just attacking an enemy called a Mud Golem, which is a pile of muddy balls in the vague shape of a humanoid.
12:13 - Wow, we haven't heard from the Undead in a while have we? Here we have the Undead Hero called the Dreadlord, who is a melee fighter that specializes in sowing chaos and being a pain. He's paired up with some Crypt Fiends, who are undead spiders. Which is awesome.
12:16 - Crypt Fiends can learn the Web ability, which lets them bind flying units and drag them down to the ground so melee units and ground-based ranged units can kick their shit in.
12:24 - The Paladin's Holy Light spell has a second effect to it, wherein if used on an enemy Undead unit, they take damage instead of being healed. It's very DnD.
12:27 - As Illidan says, YOU WERE NOT PREPARED!
12:30 - That's a lotta Claws, and a lotta damage. If they're all +15. the Paladin legit would have an extra 90 damage added to his attacks.
12:31 - A rival appears. The Keeper of the Grove with literally 6 Crown of Kings, granting him +30 to each of his main stats. That is actually pretty busted.
12:44 - I don't know who's going to win this one, though the Keeper has an aura called Thorns Aura, which returns a certain % of damage taken back onto a melee attacker.
Buildings (and siege engines) do in fact go in flames when damaged! Undead and NElves in fact have distinctly-colored flames.
this is funny, genius, nostalgic and authentic, all at the same time)
This is truly a thing of beauty. Takes me all the way back to GenCon in Milwaukee when I bought the warchest edition. Good times, great animation. Thanks man!
A combination of my 2 favorite games of all time. Thank you very much for this, for i have enjoyed it a lot.
"I shall fight fire...with fire"! Now i understand what that sacrifice DHs were always talking about is.
This takes me back.
I just discovery this channel, and i love already
The Gastly call from Pokemon as the shade spawns! XD
RIP the only RTS I ever managed to finish. RIP the game that gave us DotA AllStars.
If that's the case, I recomend Age of Mythology. That was my first RTS. It's a litle easyer than WC3. But still fun. They have it on Steam.
@@tureytayno3154 Oh, that's not ONLY because I suck at RTS, there's also the fact I particularly liked the lore of WarCraft, Tides of Darkness was one of the first PC games I played (mostly during LAN events) and the setting, music, art caught me. I know of Age of Mythology and its reputation but that particular setting never appealed to me. See, while I love those ancient mythologies, their pantheons and stories, as the son of an History enthusiast I've kind of grew to an overdose of Roman legionaries' skirts. I hate those damn uniforms, and their damn spathas. I never did a FallOut NV playthrough in which I managed to bear Caesar's Legion more than 5 minutes. Picking a Roman god in SMITE gives me nausea. And what with Imperials being damn everywhere in the Elder's Scrolls series !? No need to say I skipped Oblivion.
TL;DR I pretty much prefer full fantasy settings rather than one inspired by this era :p
Also Total War titles are a good spot for me since it's more of a 4X with RTS battles, meaning I don't have to manage my troops and structures at the same time. All in all I'd say there's no shortage of turn-based strategy games to enjoy, WarCraft 2 and 3 were just that good and accessible to get me interested in the campaign and even dabble in multiplayer DESPITE them being RTS. Also to this day, I'm stuck at the StarCraft mission in which you must rescue Artanis (iirc) and my Brood War CD cries in a corner.
Why the hell have I never seen these?! Ive been following since the start of Starcrafts!
I feel like this is a decade old and I'm only now seeing it
I really liked the gastly cry when the shade came up. lol
There were some here that I must have missed the first time. Lots of fun!
This is one of the most accurate videos ever
warcraft 3 is rising back from the internet less go
Completely lost it at the moonwell being unplugged xD
This game is so amazing! Great video dude! :D
Sudowoodo got me laughing good.
I love how they parody game mechanics
I just watched your videos and loved it in an instant
The pokemon part was sooo good 😂😂😂
I would love to have more on Warcraft 3.
There are no words to describe how beautiful this video is wspecially to those wc3 hardcore players out there still playing today. Good job bro, really, you hit this 110%. How are you doing this? Lol
That sudowoodo 7:40 cracked me up. XD
Capsule Corp and the pokemon reference had me rolling on the floor
