no it isn't just didn't post anything new here, especially as i didn't want to triple post.. Thou i will want to post some news in this month. There is a reason i wrote the pm and follow your stuff :).
With the PTR assest pack of blizzard i created a PTR version of our Warcraft 1 remake. Consider it like an Alpha. It is avaible on PTR server.screenshot
We released a new map with many improvements compared to the PTR test version. Here are the details:
Gameplay modes
Our goal was to recreate Warcraft 1 the closest we can but we received some mixed opinions about parts of the original gameplay. Meanwhile some people wanted to experience the exact old gameplay, many person pointed on the parts that didn't age so well. As the result of these reviews we implemented two gameplay mode, The Classic and Modern one. At the creation of the game the host can choose between these two option.
Classic: Are you a Warcraft 1 veteran? Do you want to experience the game as it was in 1994? Then Classic mode is for you! This mode includes every limit you had in the original game. Unit selection is limited to four units, There are no Rally Points, Buildings don't have queue.
Modern: You always wanted to try the classic game but the hard control scared you away? Do you want the gameplay more resemble to today's standards. Then try Modern mode. The controls are exactly the same as Starcraft 2. No selection limit, Rally points and five building queue.
The map.
Our first map is set in the iconic swamp of Azeroth. Black Morass is the place where the orcs found their way into the kingdom of Azeroth. Medivh opened the dark portal. Today you can't find Black Morass on the map as it is divided into the Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows. The Portal slowly drained every energy around itself. It is designed for 2v2 gameplay . There are ten Gold Mines on this map (the four starting ones+ six additional one). Note that in Warcraft 1 you have only one Town Hall, therefore the more Gold Mine you deplete the more your workers have to travel. Prepare for a fight for the mines in longer games. In the lobby you can choose your start location. Start location 1 and 2 are on the left side of the map, 3 and 4 are the right ones. Please ALWAYS choose your start location or your units won't spawn.
Future plans
We are planning continuous update on the mod with adding new arts, adding more options into the lobby and fixing any bug we experience. In future version we hope to open the race picking too but first we need Blizzard to fix custom races in lobby. We also seek to finish the campaign so you can experience 24 mission of the first war. Those who love Warcraft 2 Tides of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal i can assure that the multiplayer remake is in progress.
How To play:
Search for „COA" or „Wc1". Create a game (or click play game to find and open game) choose the gameplay mode and make it open for players. Note: you need to connect to the europian server. Please make sure everyone picked a start location and you can't see „CHOOSE" in the lobby. Thank you for reading the post and hope you will participate in the first war between Orcs and Humans.
You can try it on the European server. Search for COA or Wc1.
People argued over this so i made a solution. There are two gameplay modes. Classic and Modern. As the lobby master you can choose between them. Classic: As it was in warcraft 1: selection limit is 4 (1 for buildings), no rally points, no training queue. Modern gameplay mode is the same as sc2: unlimited selection, rally point, five training queue.
Released Warcraft 2 remake alpha demo version. Pls keep in mind that it may contain bugs and less polished stuff, also most of the art is placeholder until i find better.
This is dead or what???

New Version up: You can choose your race now. (Zerg=Orc, Protoss=Human)
Sadly the Human Ui has some bugs so need to solve it before i can apply it again.
I'm glad you're still working on this. I'll be sure to check it out at some point.
On another note; you are going to make players only be able to select 1 unit at a time, as it was in the original WarCraft, right? :D

Please stop this intense discussion, i can't read all these comments. What is with this community seriously.
Nice work!

Your player base isn't on SC2 mapster. This site is mostly used by mapmakers. There aren't that many. Blizz forums is where your players are.
@TheOracle67: Go
In my opinion the biggest Sc2 modding community is a place to discuss projects too. Should be at least.
@Domper: Go
It should be I agree.
