Not bad, was expecting some cool Metzen artwork though.

I always felt that C&C factions weren't all that different. No more so than the factions of Dune 2.

Naturally, they were not exact reflections of each other, but overall it was pretty much the same thing. NOD/Atreides cost a bit less and made a bit more units that were a bit weaker. GDI/Harkonnen were a bit more expensive and made a bit fewer units that were a bit stronger. In the end you still made a bunch of little cars and sent them at the enemy. It wasn't entirely different play styles like, say, Zerg and Protoss.

I would guess that the primary reason was that it was easy to achieve balance between the factions if they are basically the same.

Ah, memories. Memories of extracting map tiles from the game and building maps in HTML, using grass or sea as a tiled background image and a massive table with a cell for each tile that's different from said background.

'Great' doesn't do justice to the art of this game.
It still looks good after all these years. Blizz knows how to hire legendary artists.
Besides the buildings, units, etc, the icons were... just take a look, below:

The flawless OST also helped the game, of course.

Nice job.

That southern barracks hurts my eyes though. Clear path between townhall and goldmine was key.

^ I thought the same XD
But I didn't want to be negative tho :P

Thank you! And you are absolutely right! I was going for pretty as opposed to efficient, though. Normally, when playing, I build everything as if on a grid. It works great, but is kinda ugly. =)

Actually other than the barrack, it's pretty good, efficiency wise.

This brings back some memories. God, I used to love this game. Blizzard were my childhood heroes.

(even if I prefer orcs' music :P)

Warcraft 2 is hipster. Warcraft 1 was the thing! Yes, my lord.


Hope you didn't miss the "Lost Vikings" and "Blackthorne" from them. :) If you did, its freeware now - but better find the original DOS version.

I still have the Warcraft 2 soundtrack playing it my car. Not exclusively, of course, but it's on my main USB stick, in the games section. =)

Nice :)

This reminds me that a person from Slovakia is developing an RTS game, which is inspired by Warcraft. It's called Loria. Here's the official page.

COD toilet paper I made.

Balancing ironically being the thing they f'd up anyway in the minor differences they did let through.
