Testing whether it is advantageous to use stand ground to charge into a melee fight against the enemy who only uses attack move.
In this scenario, there are 30 vs 30 Frank knights without any upgrades for both sides. Blue is me and Red is an AI without personality but with a trigger telling all 30 Red knights to attack move towards Blue's side at the start.

Note: Four men, two ballistae, no gold - the most intense final showdown starts at around 1:07:44! My heart was pounding the entire time. My lord, this expansion is hard!
By the way, how long was my hiatus again?A Creative and Romantic DIY Gift for LoverCire20472018-03-26 | Made this for my wife a while back.
Originally I played a piano rendition of the song "Inochi no Namae" (song from Spirited Away) as background music to the video. You may try and have the music playing when watching for full effect.
Thank you for watching.Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 2Cire20472015-10-17 | Human Campaign (Expansion): Mission 2
Note: Didn't expect mission 2 to be so hard. In retrospect, I should probably have attacked and wiped out black with the initial force (the dwarves can take down one of the towers in the middle which wasn't guarded by walls like the red ones and the ballista and knights could make short work of the other one).Heimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds - Playthrough (Part 5)Cire20472015-10-16 | This game kicks you back to DOS when you die. Such badass.Heimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds - Playthrough (Part 4)Cire20472015-10-14 | These puzzles ain't making no sense at all.Heimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds - Playthrough (Part 3)Cire20472015-10-11 | Apparently, you have to equip the quest items in order to use them! #Only80'sKidsUnderstandHeimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds - Playthrough (Part 2)Cire20472015-10-07 | So do you need to level both characters? It seems that none of the enemies respawn. I'm putting my chips on leveling one character only at this moment.
Kinda stuck after this point. Let me meditate on this one...Heimdall 2: Into the Hall of Worlds - PlaythroughCire20472015-10-05 | Whoa whoa. What is this?
This is Heimdall 2 -- a 1994 game by The 8th Day. It seems that no one on YouTube has done a playthrough for the MS-DOS version in English (there is one for the Amiga CD32 version). So here I am playing through this!
A little bit about the game itself... You know about open world RPGs right? Like Skyrim, Fallout 3 those kind of games? This... is not one of them. Heimdall 2 is more of a "where-the-f***-do-I-go" kind of RPG. The control is an awkward combination of keyboard and mouse that clearly expects you to have one more hand than normal. It lacks all the hand-holding and tutorial which are industry standard today. But this is exactly why this kind of retro games is fun.
I played this game some 15 years ago and I couldn't get past the hakrats in the initial areas then. Years gone and even the name of the game escaped me, but the graphics and control have left a lasting impression on me. Somehow I stumbled upon this again recently and said why not give it a shot? This time I'm playing this mostly blind. So shout at me if I missed anything important!Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 1Cire20472015-09-27 | Human Campaign (Expansion): Mission 1Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Orc Campaign Gameplay - Mission 14 (FINAL)Cire20472015-06-28 | Orc Campaign: Mission 14 (FINAL)
Note: Wow. I'm not dead. I have not been dead. I now come back to you with the much delayed final chapter of the Orc campaign in Tides of Darkness!
Today we march to Lordaeron... hold on, wait a minute. Today we SAIL to Lordaeron! Christ, not another Warcraft II sea mission. Such monotony. Much anti-climatic.
So, this brings the vanilla Orc campaign to an end. Thanks to all those whose watched and subscribed, and really sorry for the long hiatus. "Beyond the Dark Portal" is coming... when it's done!!

Note: If there is any thing I don't like about the Tides of Darkness Orc campaign, it is the overwhelming amount of sea missions. The sea objectives in this mission are just unnecessary.Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Orc Campaign Gameplay - Mission 9Cire20472012-12-27 | Orc Campaign: Mission 9
Note: Having protected the Runestone at Caer Darrow from the Alliance rampage, the Horde set course for a peaceful diplomatic mission to set up trade embassy at Tyr's Bay, hoping to rebuild the relationship between Orcs and Humans...Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Orc Campaign Gameplay - Mission 8Cire20472012-12-27 | Orc Campaign: Mission 8
Note: Some time around 23:34, the commander of the Human and Elves alliance said, "Okay. Now that we have repelled the first wave of Orcish assault against our sacred Elven Runestone...

Note: Suddenly, new video! I'm pretty sure no one would care why there was another year-long hiatus and how it had come to an end. Let's just say I lost my save files due to 2 computer upgrades and modern computers and classic games don't mix. So I "tigerlily"-ed to "orc6" and the series continues!
Hope you'd enjoy.Daggerfall StupidityCire20472011-12-02 | Despite its notoriety for being buggy to an extreme, the immersion and freedom of Daggerfall (now pre-cursor of the world famous Skyrim and Oblivion) had completely blown my mind some 12 or 13 years ago. But the nightmarish streets of the city of Daggerfall at night was not something child-me was able to brave... For years, I carefully plan my fast travels and questing to avoid the streets of Daggerfall from 18:00 - 06:00... But not today, I'm gonna face the nightmarish ghosts and wraiths with my indestructible rainbow-coloured Dark Elf warrior, armed with his trusty Daedric warhammer.
Well, things quickly make a hilarious turn, thanks to the legion of city guards who try to crush me to death with their incessant "HALT! HALT! HALT! HALT! HALTHALTHALTHALT!" and, of course, a world that has an appetite for noisy people and ghosts alike.
By the way, did you see the mounted combat in Daggerfall?

Notes: Why the twirling canal with cannon towers? What's the point? A few Battleships, even without micro-ing, can take down everything with ease. This, is what I call a boring mission.Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 9Cire20472011-04-17 | Human Campaign: Mission 9
Notes: In Mission 2, Alterac sold out the High Elves of Quel'thalas to the Horde and allowed them to be captured. In this mission, we see two Elven Destroyers under the flags of Alterac. This Alliance politics is confusing me...Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 8Cire20472011-04-17 | Human Campaign: Mission 8 (with awesome anti-air catapult action intro)
Notes: When I played this game some 10 years ago, I used to remember this as an extremely hard mission with Ogre-magi and bloodlust sprinkled all around the map. But... somehow, the Ogres are still level 1 towards the end in my run this time.Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 7Cire20472011-04-17 | Human Campaign: Mission 7Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 6Cire20472011-04-17 | Human Campaign: Mission 6Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 5Cire20472011-04-16 | Human Campaign: Mission 5Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 4Cire20472011-04-16 | Human Campaign: Mission 4Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 3Cire20472011-04-16 | Human Campaign: Mission 3Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 2Cire20472011-04-16 | Human Campaign: Mission 2Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness - Human Campaign Gameplay - Mission 1Cire20472011-04-16 | Human Campaign: Mission 1Warcraft: Orcs and Humans - Orc Campaign Gameplay - Part 19Cire20472011-04-15 | Orc Campaign: Mission 12 (Final)
Notes: Obviously, my minimal Warcraft I skills sufferred a further decline after the 2-year hiatus. I was close to defeat a few times and down to 1-2 peons at times. Luckily, the OP Daemons saved the day (once again). Sorry about the less than epic ending (you'll see why), though. Enjoy the magnificient ending movie in the next video!

Notes: I knew the wait was insane (Last video upload date = 10 Apr 2009... WTF??). My bad, really. Sorry. Naturally, I've lost all my save games. So I used the level jump code to go directly to Mission 11 (that's why my score in the end was reset). Now back to the game. I played pretty bad (not surprisingly). Most important of all, I forgot that I could build Daemons until I saw the Human Elemental (OMG WHAT A NOOB U SUX). Anyhow, Daemons = win, again.Warcraft: Orcs and Humans - Orc Campaign Gameplay - Part 17Cire20472009-04-10 | Orc Campaign: Mission 10Warcraft: Orcs and Humans - Orc Campaign Gameplay - Part 16Cire20472009-03-04 | Orc Campaign: Mission 9(2/2)
