Description
For the kingdoms of Azeroth the real-time battle between Humans and Orcs continues with Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, the sequel to its highly succesful predecessor...
Warcraft II comes with many new features like fighting not only over land but also over sea and air; SVGA 640x480 resolution graphics with many new 3D-rendered buildings and
units; multiplayer play support with up to 8 players, as well as a redbook audio soundtrack and a scenario editor that allows you to design and create your own scenarios--however you need to have Windows 3.1, 95 or better to run the scenario editor although Warcraft II is a DOS-based game.

Trivia
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. For example, "орцисч чордес" is definitely "orcish hordes".
