Im going to take a break from map reviews and touch up on warcraft history. On how it all began and from something so simple came a beautiful and pretty much a house hold name as far as Role playing games goes.
Way back when when not every home had a computer, when day time television was the 'bees knees' and when nerd were geeks and men wore spandex. Yes it was the late 80s when the digital age was setting its roots and computer gaming was but a simple past time for people.
The Warcraft franchise started with the 'Warcraft: Orcs and Humans' published and developed by Blizzard . Your standard fantasy tripe of playable humans and fantasy races(Orcs) fighting each other for whatever reason the scenario requires. Land grabbing, establishing territory, acquisition of resources. whatever. It changed the battlefield for RTS gaming forever.
There is a something one should take note of, some people say that warcraft was supposed to be Warhammer which belonged to GW(Games Workshop). As Blizzard was developing the game version of Warhammer what happened was that GW decided they didnt like how things were progressing and decided to pull out. Blizzard on the other hand decided to truck on renaming and changing a few things. And viola Warcraft was born
