Warcraft was originally about Orcs vs Humans aka North American Indians vs Europeans. Orcs were a superstitious, proud, warlike savage people while the humans built cities, had proper religion, and were expansionist.Later on they did to Orcs what mainstream progressive liberalism has done to the redskins: revised their history to make them innocent peaceful people who dindu nuffin and were the victims of evil Euros which is of course totally false.
>>744671446>North American IndiansThey're just North Americans, bro
>>744671446>had proper religion
>>744671446>originallyOrcs were the invaders though, after they had spent five millennia ethnically cleansing their own world.
>>744671446so why do orcs have like axes and mudhuts and shit while other 100000+ old races have like spaceships and dreamrealms etc
>>744671446Pretty sure orcs were more like mongols or huns than natives until the warcraft 3 retcons
>>744671446Having the orcs and trolls in Warcraft 3 be le good was genuinely novel for the time. The problem is that it’s been done to death for the past 20 years.
>>744671446Warcraft was originally Warhammer
>>744671446>indiansin what reality? they don't have a caste system and bollywood, you white dumbfuck
>>744671446>Indianssaaar vishnu allah!
>>744678005>>744671446No
is wc2 worth playing today
>>744671446>Orcs din du nuffinI mean...they raped their own world then used a portal to come rape ours then allied with literal demons to rape the galaxy.But as long as it fits your shit lib narrative I guess LAMO
>>744678017Thrall means victory!
>>744678000>Blizz then does exactly the same story arc in StarCraft.Creative bankruptcy.
>>744678265Lok'thrall ogar!
>>744678360It never was about creativity, just pushing out products. Might as well use an assembly line for it.
/pol/ really fucks with your brain>nuh uh this guy is indian, nah bro that race is uzbekistanifaggots the lot of you
>>744678189Honestly, no not really. Doubly so for WC1.Both games are very simplistic RTS, and unlike SC1 which at least built maps around story beats, most of the WC2 maps are just generic build and destroy.
>>744678716I feel like wc3 went too far in the other direction. You can play the night elf campaign and still have fuck all idea how the faction would work in a straight up corner vs corner fight with no scripted nonsense.
>>744671446>north american Indians vs Europeans how could one person be so wrong? It's Vikings vs Knights.
>>744678189WC2 is still one of my favorite RTS, but I grew up playing it so I'm biased
>>744677917Socio-economic reasons.
>>744678189no, unless you really love macro. but the music is awesome. so definitely take a listenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaMP8Oa5gXs
>>744676785Orcs would fuck 'em up.
>>744678637Of all the anachronistic descriptions of /pol/ on this site, this is really the only post that captures the true essence of the board in 2026: Brown Muslims and Latinexs arguing who is more white and who hates Jews more.
>>744678189It's fun, but both races have the exact same units and stats, just reskinned
>>744671446Everything about this post is wrong. The orcs are just Metzen's twist on DnD orcs, which is the Tolkien lineage. Between the wolf riding, leather, and axes they're just Mongols (with demons). Also, the second game (which is what the OP pic is from,was significantly more popular and better than the first and also established much of what the lore was actually based on) added trolls, goblins, and ogres to the horde.In summary:1. Burgers are literally incapable of interacting with fantasy races without seeing it through the lens of burgerstan (this is where the orcs = black shit comes from when they're fucking mongols) 2. /v/tards are too retarded to understand stories like demons bad not demons good, so they have to make up schitzo /pol/shit
>>744678189Only for historic sake. If you love RTS and want to know where the warcraft IP came from you can have some fun. But by itself it gets fairly repetitive and the missions turn into absolute slogs.
>>744671446>Play human campaign>the only real threat is the enemy catapult that does 255 dmg.>You can summon your own water elemental by the time the enemy starts spamming demons>Play orc campaign>Invisible knight spam that destroys your peons>20+ fucking archers in the fog of war/chokepoint>somehow the orcs wonHow?
>>744678189It ages gracefully. Feel free to press - and + to speed up/slow down the game mid combat.
