Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness takes he continuing saga of Azeroth to the next level as the battle rages on over land, sea, and air. Using new weapons of war, including Dragons, Battleships, Elven Archers, Zepplins, Death Knights and Juggernauts, both Humans and Orcs must use combined-arms tactics in an effort to become the true rulers of Azeroth. The game also includes a new strategic "fog of war" feature which allows players to only see activity within their units' line of sight. Players are not able to see their enemy's movement outside the fog of war, but they can see the terrain of explored areas. This adds a whole new level of strategy as scouting and sentries become vital to defending your territory. With maps four times larger than the original Warcraft, up to eight player network support, SVGA graphics, an improved interface, and an included map, unit, and sound editor, Warcraft II has become a smash hit. It's sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide, and has been translated into French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. Also available is the expansion set, Beyond the Dark Portal, which adds two new campaigns and even tougher missions.
