AmigaOne goes to Azeroth (Stratagus Release on 17th April 2025)

Dear Amiga users,

The day after tomorrow - just before Easter - my newest game will be released.

This game is a port of Warcraft 2 (or rather, the open source reimplementation "Stratagus").

In contrast to the earlier "Version 2.1" port of Stratagus:

- Based on "Latest-Git," i.e., version 3.3.3
- Full support for music and intro videos
- Bug fixes for countless bugs (including showstoppers like crash bugs). Version 3.3.3 is also much more "complete" in terms of Warcraft 2 compared to 2.1
- Level editor included
- Optimized for a number of different systems (specific EXEs for x1000, x5000, G3, Sam 440, Sam 460, and A1222)
(Note: A1222 version without intro videos)
- The game can be installed directly from the "Classic" PC CD (DOS or Windows) without the need for a PC.
Installing the Battle.Net Edition or the Gog Edition (the Gog Edition is no longer available for purchase since December) is also possible, but you need a PC decompressor as an intermediate step. Direct installation on Amiga is only possible from the Classic CD.
- No manual tinkering with the installation is necessary; everything is done conveniently via the installer.
- Installation can install both the base game and the "Beyond the Dark Portal" add-on CD, which is also supported (currently both games are single-player only, the campaign is fully supported).
- Graphics optimization via GL (optional).

Minimal specs: Sam 440/Pegasos/MicroAmigaOne or comparable, AmigaOS 4.1 with a minimum of Update 2.

Before anyone asks - I'll try a 68k version again at some point; I'm still struggling with bugs in the C compiler/Mathelib.

The game (without the PC version) is available from the Alinea online shop for €12.99.

I'll provide a detailed link later.

Nice! Thanks for the port and Happy Easter!
Can we expect easter eggs in the port? ;)
