VI. THE BADLANDS | Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, a landmark real-time strategy game released in 1995, propelled the genre forward with its refined mechanics and engaging narrative. Following the destruction of Stormwind, the human survivors forge an alliance in Lordaeron, uniting with elves, dwarves, and gnomes to face the expanding Orcish Horde. The game masterfully blended resource management—gold, lumber, and the crucial new element of oil—with strategic combat, introducing significant naval warfare and a third dimension of aerial combat. Its distinct factions, while balanced, offered unique high-tier units and magical abilities, all presented with a charming, vibrant art style and memorable unit voice lines. Within this epic conflict, the Orc campaign features a mission known as "VI. The Badlands," a thrilling escort operation that deviates from the typical base-building scenarios. This chapter places the player in the treacherous Khaz Modan region, tasked with protecting the powerful Ogre-Mage Cho'gall as he travels to inspect an oil refinery. The stakes are incredibly high, as Cho'gall’s demise means immediate failure. Unlike other missions, players begin with a fixed army, emphasizing tactical positioning and damage mitigation rather than recruitment. The map's layout forces a coastal advance, where the Orcish forces must contend with heavily fortified Stromgarde defenses and enemy warships. The strategic use of catapults is paramount, clearing the path for the ground troops and Cho'gall himself. This mission not only tests a player's ability to preserve a vital hero unit but also offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics and crucial resource operations of the Old Horde.
