Description
Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal is an expansion pack for
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness. After defeating the Orcish Horde and capturing the survivors, the Human Alliance attempt to destroy the Dark Portal. However whilst they destroy the portal, the rift that joins the Orc's world of Draenor to Azeroth remains.
The Alliance forces decide to enter the rift to the Orc's home world to attempt to seal the rift from the other side.
At the same time, Ner'zhul - Warchief of the Shadow Moon clan, who has seized control of the Orcish hordes of Draenor following Orgrim Doomhammer's departure (and eventual defeat) to Azeroth, plans to send his forces to Azeroth to gather magical artefacts in an attempt to open rift's to other worlds.
Beyond the Dark Portal contains two 12 map campaigns; one for each side, 50 new pud's (maps) and a new tile set for the Orc home world.
It also contains 5 new hero characters for each side that actively participate in several of the new single player missions. Though in function they are simply super powered versions of standard unit's that have different sounds.
There are no new standard unit's however, which many saw as a disappointment.
The map editor also isn't updated to include any of this expansions new features, though third party programs exist that can add these features to the editor.

Command & Conquer.
