    I try to stream every friday on either youtube or twitch so check me out there if you like the content.

    9:20 Flails were ideally used as a cavalry weapon, since they would benefit from the charging horse´s speed and the chain limited the transfer of force back to your arm, making it less risky to lose your weapon after an attack.

    This game has a very special place in my heart. The earliest memory I have is playing this game (Playing as orcs in a cave mission, summoning minions with the warlock to to just send them off and find out where the exit is, then move there with the real army.) Which is probably why I'm so sour these days with what Blizzard is doing to the IP that I just don't agree with as I love what it once was.
    Memory could be failing me on this one but, I also remember thinking how smart I was as a kid when I found out that while the AI can just keep mining gold as it never runs out, it DOES start to run out once you've uncovered it, therefore at the start of the map, send a unit on a suicide mission just to find it. I just don't know if the game actually cares about that and the AI has infinite resources and just likes to pretend...

So it's not that they don't take resources - it's that they only take 5 gold instead of the normal 100, until they are found. Still dunno if the AI ACTUALLY uses resources or not though!

    I'll have to watch the rest of this later, but regarding flails on horseback: I've heard that if one-handed flails were a thing, they'd mostly be for horseback use.
    The chain or rope connecting the head to the body can absorb some of the shock that would otherwise be absorbed by your hand, and if you have momentum from a moving horse that hand shock can be pretty severe.

    • @Admiral_Iddy

    • @Tenesfer
      @Tenesfer 9 месяцев назад +5

      That is actually the neat part: you probably don't even need to swing it aside from a light movement to get the ball into position, if even that. Mostly because the speed of the horse + the weight of the ball/head + physics will do most of the work for you. Also from what I know horses are, aside from the legs, pretty sturdy so it will probably be fine.
      Granted there is a reason why it went out of favour too.

    In the version I grew up on I discovered the same trick in the caves, with one exception. Every level had a unit on another side of a wall you could attack and kill, and once you did, I triggered every single unit up to that point to start heading towards the start of the map, one at a time. It took FOREVER for the first ones to make it because they were crossing the entire map, but you could just set up your archer wall and wait for every enemy to just walk in to your army and die

    Y'know, I kind of have to disagree with you on the Peasants thing. Sure, they sound wimpy and ineffective, but if you put a Warcraft 2 Peasant against a Warcraft 1 Peasant, the Warcraft 1 Peasant is going to run away crying "Don't hurt me!"
    Then there's the Warcraft 3 Peasant who remarks how he's going to die in battle even when turned into a Militia but he still goes ahead and fights and dies for his country.

    Not really viable for a deathless run, but as a kid I discovered a trick for the human final mission. If you cast invisibility on about four knights, you can sneak them into the top-left corner and kill the warlocks there. If I recall correctly, the AI never made any new ones so that meant you don't have to worry about daemons for the rest of the game.

    24:54 Yup Blackhand was one brutal monster Alright. He wouldn’t even let Griselda drink the blood of Mannoroth because she was weak and a shame to their clan.

    The first video game I ever played was one of 3: WC1, WC2, or C&C. I have fond memories of watching my dad play all these games but I'm not sure which was my first. What I do know is that WC1 and 2 were childhood defining games for me. I still play WC2 from time to time, thanks GoG! Not even Blizz sells a digital copy of either of these old gems.
    Funny how not being able to right click to perform actions was a total non-issue when i was 4, and this is primarily the reason why I haven't revisited WC1 for about 15 years now.
