I always played this game with my cousin. We used to play custom maps for hours on end when we were younger. I have only fond memories of this game and that's without having played the campaign once - that's why I'd love to have it on GoG; to relive those memories and to finally play the campaign.

Ah, all those custom maps and nights while blasting emo songs. The OG DotA before it got Gigabytes of graphics. Still want to play this on a handheld pc one day. With the technology we have today and GoG, one can wish for that day to happen. Plus, it's easier to get this here.
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne isn't just a DLC — it’s a masterclass in how to expand upon a beloved game without compromising its core. Released in 2003, this expansion to Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos elevated everything: story, gameplay mechanics, multiplayer depth, and modding tools. It took an already legendary RTS and pushed it into the stratosphere. The campaign alone is worth the price of admission. It continues the dark, emotional tale of Arthas and his descent into becoming the Lich King — one of the most iconic villain arcs in gaming history. But beyond the narrative, The Frozen Throne introduced new units, heroes, and gameplay strategies for each faction, enriching the meta and making competitive matches even more dynamic and intense. It also played a crucial role in shaping modern gaming. Thanks to the robust World Editor, The Frozen Throne gave rise to custom maps like Defense of the Ancients (DotA) — the mod that launched the MOBA genre. Without this expansion, there might never have been League of Legends or Dota 2. Releasing this expansion on GOG would preserve a pivotal part of PC gaming history in a DRM-free, accessible format. With proper support for modern systems and the original art and gameplay intact — not the altered Reforged version — GOG could give both old-school fans and new players the definitive way to experience one of the greatest DLCs ever made.

Dynasty Tactics 2
Dynasty Tactics 2The sequel to Dynasty Tactics gives the player more tactics to choose from, and introduces some new characters and features. Like in the first game, the player assumes the role of 3 important leaders in ancient China: Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce. A new choice is the warrior Lu Bu. The characters have their own, unique story paths, which are affected by choices and outcomes occurring during the chapters the game is divided into. The player organizes and moves his officers and armies over the map while engaging others, trying to fulfill certain objectives during a turn limit. For battles, the game switches from the map to a dedicated screen showing the battlefield. The battle system is a bit like chess: the player moves the units around the battlefield in a turn-based fashion, mostly trying to bring them in a position to pull off special tactics. Ideally, this results in effective combos, that may not only defeat enemy units, but also capture the leading officers, which may join the player (there are over 200 in the game). Morale and terrain need to be taken into consideration as well. Units have different abilities depending on their type and position in the army, Engineers may build useful installments like supply depots for example. Army strategists can use the link command retained from the previous game for pinning down enemy units and helping to rack up higher combos, in addition, they may order chains now. These allow individual officers to perform multiple tactics (provided the conditions are met for each of them), but cost morale. The game also contains a two player versus mode, which consists of random battles.

Dynasty Tactics
Dynasty TacticsA tactical strategy game set in feudal China, Dynasty Tactics is an offshoot of the Dynasty Warrior series. The game puts the player in the shoes of one of 3 military leaders. Through strategy, acquired military might, and diplomacy, the player must strive to conquer the game's 60 cities. Battles take place on a 3D grid, in a turn-based format. Through deft use of battlefield tactics, including a deep combo attack system, players must meet certain requirements to win the battle. Multiple paths through the game (including multiple endings) will keep armchair military generals coming back.
