Firtly I want to introduce about the warcraft, reference by wiki
Game’s history
Warcraft: Orcs & Humans is a real-time strategy game (RTS), developed by Blizzard Entertainment and published by Blizzard and Interplay Entertainment. The MS-DOS version was released in November 1994 and the Macintosh version in late 1996. Sales were fairly high, reviewers were mostly impressed, and the game won three awards and was a finalist for three others. The sequel, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, became the main rival to Westwood Studios' Command & Conquer series, and this competition fostered an RTS boom in the mid to late 1990s.
Although Warcraft: Orcs & Humans was not the first RTS title to offer multiplayer games, Blizzard's game persuaded a wider audience that multiplayer facilities were essential for future RTS titles. The game introduced innovations in mission design and gameplay elements, which were adopted by other RTS developers.
The game also launched Blizzards' distinctive approach to design and production of RTS games, and influenced the company's enormously successful massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft. Blizzards's main emphases in these games were on skillful management of relatively small forces and on development of characterization and storyline within and between games played in the same universe.
Storyline
The Orcs originated from another world, where the majority were bloodthirsty warriors driven by strife. However, their Warlocks remained aloof, devoted to the research of magic. The Warlocks noticed a rift between the dimensions and, after many years, opened a small portal to another world. One Warlock explored and found a region, whose Human inhabitants called it "Azeroth", from which the Warlock returned with strange plants as evidence of his discovery.
The Orcs enlarged the portal until they could transport seven warriors, who massacred a Human village. The platoon brought back samples of good food and fine workmanship, and a report that the Humans were defenseless. The Orcs' raiding parties grew larger and bolder, until they assaulted Azeroth's principal castle. However, the Humans had been training warriors of their own, especially the mounted, heavily-armed Knights. These, assisted by Human Sorcerors, gradually forced the Orcs to retreat through the portal, which the Humans had not discovered.
For the next fifteen years, one faction of Orcs demanded that the portal be closed. However a chief of exceptional cunning realized that the Humans, although out-numbered, had prevailed through the use of superior tactics, organization, and by magic. He united the clans, imposed discipline on their army and sought new magics from the Warlocks. Their combined forces were ready to overthrow the Humans.
Game Evaluation
Then we have type the command to simulation the c driver is the game folder location. Then we run the war.exe then we into the game.
We can choose start a new game, load exising game or replay introduction. I choose start a new game.
We can choose Single player, Modem game, Network game or direct-link game. I choose the single player.
Then we can choose Orc Campaign , Human Capmaign or custom game. The Campaign mode is run by story, every campaign will follow the story goes.
The custom game is what we can set race, army and map.For now I choose the human campaign,then it will come up the background story.
Then we start to play the game.
First i let the PEASANT to harvest the lumber. Later I will know there is a big mistake. I should put the PEASANT to mine gold first. I used to play Warcraft 3, normaly the gold will be beside the base, but on the map i cant find it, so i put them harvest the lumber.
Later i use the footman to search the map to see if i can find the gold or enemy’s base.
Finally I find where is the Gold mine it, it’s near the base, the map frog just hide it.
Then I build a lots of PEASANT to get the resouces.When the gold mine is finish it will explosion itself. I have to find another gold mine then I can get more gold to build the footman to protect my base.
I find another gold mine so far away from the base.
Because this round of game waste too much time to get used the game, when I find the second gold mine the ememy already attack my base. So this round i lose.
Then I get the score of this round of game.The Rank is the lowest Footman.
Later I play one more time, now i know how to play this, then i win the game , also get the highest rank Corporal.
On my mind , warcraft althrough is a very very old game, but it still a very good game. We can imagine that in those days there we have a kind of this game to play already feel very interested of it. Compare the same kind of RTS product, warcraft is first have lan game mode, First game with random map and First RTS game with shortcut. But it’s not prefect,still got some weekness point It is not like the newest RTS game, it can’t be control to move by clicking the place we want to go.It have to click the move button on the left. Also in this game, most of the people think human is much more strong than human.It is not banlance
