A common nickname for Warcraft II is "Warcrack", a reference to how addictive - like crack cocaine - this game can be.However, this only worked in the DOS version of the game and was fixed in the BattleNet version. This was known as the "lumber bug" and came in very handy in low resource multiplayer games. This would result in 100 extra lumber even though the tree was never completely chopped down. In games that began with only one peon (no townhall), you could click on a tree and then build your townhall. Then, after the frames of animation were set, these were given to artists to draw over, giving the game an animated look rather than a 3-D look. As is typical of all of Blizzard's RTS games, repeatedly clicking on any unit will trigger humorous dialogue.Īll of the buildings and units for Warcraft II were originally created from 3d models.If you repetitively click on any of the critters in the game, they'll eventually explode.For whatever reason, this idea was taken out of the final version, however evidence of its existence can still be seen in the cutscene of a footman stealing an Orcish Catapult. If this unit was killed, the enemy could then capture your catapult. This means that you would need a unit to move and fire the catapult. At one point in development, Blizzard planed to have Catapults and Balistas manned.As a compromise, they included Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Ogres, Goblins, and Gnomes as part of the two official races, Orcs and Humans. However, memory constrictions forced them to stay with two. Blizzard originally wanted to include more than two races with the game.Joke? Glitch? Coincidence? We will never know. You can type in "gilttering prizes" instead of the cheat "glittering prizes" and still have it work. No pixels were harmed during the making of this game. For example, "орцисч чордес" is definitely "orcish hordes".Īt the end of the credits section of the game there is a note: In the mission objectives screen, the text written in the book on the background is actually English with letters substituted with similar sounding (or, in some cases, not) Cyrillic ones.
