      I wonder if they fixed the pathfinder in warcraft1. It was a really smart wallfollower, but it could go in circles in the tunnel levels.

    I would definitely play Warcraft 2 remastered. I’ve played the version on GOG and it was solid, but a remastered version is always nice.

    Haven’t played Warcraft 1 in over 25 years. Wouldn’t mind trying it for fun.

      Got into it yesterday, there’s a toggle to switch between old and new graphics during gameplay. And there’s also an option for original or updated music, it was an instant nostalgia kick lol

    If the remastered versions add modern controls that’d be super. It’s the main gripe I have with the older games besides low resolutions.

      You mean like updating unit selection in Warcraft 2; it is limited to ~9 units per control group from what I remember.

        Orks and humans had no multi select 🙃 apparently they’re adding that in though which might make it playable.

          I remember trying to replay Dune 2 a few years ago.

          The lack of many QoL/UX refinements made it really difficult to play.

      I love the old games but I wish that unit pathing and attacking would’ve been updated a little. Or at least for the remastered version, or have it an option in the settings.

      Another thing that always bothered me a bit was the max amount of selected units in many older RTS games. Sometimes it’s limited by the UI too, but they could update that as well.
