Advanced gameplay for the Alliance focuses almost exclusively on micromanaging Mages. The two ranged units also differed, with the Alliance rangers receiving a damage bonus and the Horde axe throwers receiving slow health regeneration.Īdvanced gameplay for the Horde is generally focused on mass producing Ogre-Mages with bloodlust. This did not hold true for late game caster units, who differed due to the spells available to them. The Horde and Alliance units were near replicas of each other, sharing nearly all stats. The game later received a sequel, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. The PC version was also re-released (combined with the expansion) on Septemas Warcraft II: Edition, adding native Windows capability, online multiplayer via Blizzard's service, and a variety of new gameplay enhancements (some of which borrowed from StarCraft). The game (combined with the expansion) was later ported to the PlayStation and Saturn consoles and released by Electronic Arts on Augas Warcraft II: The Dark Saga. This expansion added a new campaign for each faction (a prologue campaign for the Orcs and an epilogue campaign for the Humans), new multiplayer maps, and a new setting (the hellish world of Draenor), while expanding the use of powerful Hero units. The game received an expansion pack by Cyberlore, titled Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, on April 30, 1996.
