I-Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, eyakhutshulwa ngo-1995, igama elikhulu kwezobuchule bokuhlasela ngesikhathi sangempela (RTS). Yadalwa yiBlizzard Entertainment kanye neCyberlore Studios, yanyatheliswa yiDavidson & Associates. Lena iqhubekayo ku*Warcraft: Orcs & Humans* eyaphuma ngo-1994. Lo mdlalo awuzange nje ugcine ngokukhuphula umdlalo, kodwa waba namachungechunge okwenza ukuphatha izinsiza kanye nezempi kube mnandi kakhulu, okwavuza umklamo walomdlalo iminyaka eyishumi elandelayo. Ngokuhambisa impi esifundeni saseLordaeron esisenyakatho, umdlalo wazisa indaba ecebile kanye necebo eliphelele. Le ndaba ikhuluma ngeMpi Yesibili, impi eyayibheke phansi kakhulu. Ngemuva kokucekelwa phansi kweStormwind emdlalweni wokuqala, abasinde abantu, abaholwa nguSir Anduin Lothar, babalela enyakatho esifundeni saseLordaeron. Lapha, bakha i-Alliance of Lordaeron, babumbana nabantu, ama-elfi aphezulu, ama-gnome, kanye nama-dwarf ukuze balwe ne-Orcish Horde. I-Horde, eholwa nguWarchief Orgrim Doomhammer, yengeze izilwane zayo ngezindlovu nezimvunulo. Lokhu kwengeza indaba hhayi kuphela ukuze kube nesizinda sezimishini, kodwa futhi ukubeka ubunikazi bemihlaba – i-Alliance kanye ne-Horde – ezobayisisekelo samasiko e-Warcraft. Ngobuchule, umdlalo wawusekelwe ekubuyeni kwawo, kodwa kwakukhona ukuthuthukiswa okwenza umdlalo ube mnandi. Abadlali banikezwa izinsiza ezintathu: igolide, izinkuni, kanye namafutha. Ukwengezwa kwamafutha kwaba nomthelela omkhulu, okudinga ukwakhiwa kweziteshi zamanzi ezikude kanye nezithwali. Le nsiza yesithathu yayiyisixhumanisi sokulwa kwamanzi komdlalo, isici esahlukanisa i-Warcraft II nabanye abadlali. Ukungena kokulwa kwamanzi kwavumela ukuhlaselwa kwezindiza, lapho abadlali kwakumelwe baphathe imikhumbi ehlukene yomhlaba kanye yolwandle, besebenzisa imikhumbi yezithwali ukuze babuyise izindiza ezindizayo emazweni aphakathi kwesiqhingi njengoba imikhumbi yempi, iziqhumane, kanye nezindiza zasemanzini zazilwa nokubusa kolwandle. Uhlu lweyunithi ku-Warcraft II ludume nge-"symmetry with flavor." Ngenkathi imihlangano emibili yayifana kakhulu ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukulingana—ama-Footmen omuntu afanana nama-Grunt omcako, futhi ama-Archer ama-elfi afana nama-Axethrower ama-troll—amayunithi aphezulu ayehluka ngezindlela ezithinta isu lokugcina lomdlalo. I-Alliance yayikwazi ukusebenzisa ama-Paladin, amaqhawe angcwele ayikwazi ukwelapha amasosha alimele kanye nokukhipha abafile, kanye nama-Mage ayikwazi ukuphonsa i-Polymorph ukuze aguqule izitha zibe izimvu ezingenawo umonakalo. Ngokuhambisanayo, i-Horde yayinayo i-Ogre Mage, eyayikwazi ukuphonsa i-Bloodlust ukuze ikhuphule kakhulu isivinini sokuhlasela kweyunithi, kanye ne-Death Knight, eyayiphatha imilingo emnyama njenge-Decay kanye ne-Raise Dead. Ukwethulwa kwamayunithi omoya, ikakhulukazi i-Gnomish Flying Machines kanye ne-Goblin Zeppelins zokuhlola, kanye nama-Gryphon Riders kanye nama-Dragons abhubhisayo ngokuhlasela komoya, kwangeza umthathu wesithathu wokulwa, okwaphoqa abadlali ukuthi bakhe amasosha ahlukahlukene. I-Orc Campaign ku-Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness iyona eyenza kube yindaba ezimbili eziyinhloko kulo mdlalo we-RTS ka-1995 owenziwe yiBlizzard Entertainment. Le ngxenye yomdlalo ilandisa nge-Horde ehlasela isifunda saseLordaeron ngezindiza. Ngokungafani nomdlalo wabantu, le nkonzo ye-Orc ibeka umlando ongokwemvelo lapho uWarchief Orgrim Doomhammer ehola amabutho akhe ukuba ancishiswe, enqobe i-Alliance of Lordaeron futhi athole umhlaba nge-Horde. Le nkonzo ihlukaniswe izigaba ezine, enezimishini ezinekhuphukayo. Isigaba sokuqala, "Act I: Seas of Blood," senza abadlali bajwayelane nokulwa kwamanzi. UDoomhammer uhola ukwakhiwa komkhumbi ukuze uwuphumelele uLwandle Olukhulu. Izimishini zokuqala zigxila ekubeni nendawo eziqhingini zaseZul'dare nasezindaweni ezisogwini zaseHillsbrad. Okubalulekile kulesi sigaba ukukhululwa kukaZul'jin, umholi weAmani Forest Trolls. Ngokukhulula uZul'jin ebubodweni babantu, i-Horde yenza isivumelwano nabakwaTroll, ibafaka abahlasele ngemikhonto nezithwali—imikhumbi yempi emincane ebalulekile emilweni yamanzi yokuqala. Isigaba siphela ngokucekelwa phansi kwesiteshi samanzi se-Alliance eSouthshore, okuqinisekisa izindawo zokuhlala ze-Horde. "Act II: Khaz Modan" iguqula ukugxila ekuhlanganiseni kwezinsiza kanye nasekuhlaseleni okukhulu. I-Horde iqonde ezindaweni zama-Dwarf zaseKhaz Modan ukuze ithole izimpahla eziningi zamafutha, isici esisha sezinsiza ezethulwa ku-Warcraft II esibalulekile ekwakheni izimikhumbi zempi ezihlasela kakhulu. Umdlali ufunwa ukuba athwebule isiqhingi saseTol Barad futhi anqobe ukulwa eDun Modr. Lesi sigaba sigcizelela amandla emboni ye-Horde, njengoba abadlali kufanele baphathe izimboni zamafutha kanye nezindawo zezindiza ukuze babuse olwandle. Ukulaleliswa kwama-Dwarf kanye nokucekela phansi izindawo ezikude zeStromgarde kwenza kube lula ukuhlasela enyakatho ngasekhaya labantu.
