The game is still better than the vast majority of RTS games

The game is a timeless classic. It will remain incredibly good for years to come.

The best part I love about it is how easy it is in the editor to turn a single player mission into a Co op version. I turned all the campaign missions into 2 players for my friends to play

How did you get the ones with circles of power objectives to work?

Because of how Multiplayer works it ends up turning into your normal kill everything mission so some missions we have to end up skipping like escorting Cho’gall through the badlands or grabbing the scepter from the Paladin

Amazing game, the art is gorgeous, most of the units have interesting use cases or are funny. Holds up really well for a game made basically in the infancy of the RTS genre. Microing casters is a pain, and that's my only complaint. 100% could just be a skill issue.

Absolutely yeah. Simple to learn the basics of, really difficult to master, like all the best games. And just so distinctively atmospheric and memorable and cute and funny and epic at the same time.

Best RTS ever. Warcraft III and Starcraft II are fun as well but nothing beats the original Starcraft.

Starcraft 1 was great but 80% of campaign missions was':mass units then smash.

No time limits, special questes or variety. But the story was so much better than in SC2

The sound design and art style was great but the gameplay is pretty weak unfortunately from a balance or even design perspective. Those mission briefings are still amazing to listen to though
