Warcraft orcs and humans rom8/27/2023 ![]() The hidden gem in the Map Editor is, of course, the first ever(!) user-created map ("No Rest At All") in the entire Warcraft franchise, created 19 years ago as of writing by the programmer himself. Hidden map details, such as enemy rallying points or objectives can not be edited, either. On top of that the editor is only capable of creating Forest maps Dungeon maps or Swamp maps are unavailable. Additionally, since it is a 16-bit application, it will not execute at all on 64-bit Windows Vista or any flavor of Windows 7. The editor is programmed in Visual Basic 3, so it will most likely require additional system files for your OS to execute properly. The only map editor (to date!) for Warcraft: Orcs and Humans is Brad Pollard's 16-bit map editor from 1994. In fact, patching any version of the game to any version post 1.15 adds the Unit Editor to the game install. In fact, the only official editor for Warcraft: Orcs and Humans is the Unit Editor which was supplied with all versions of the game post 1.15, demo or otherwise. The mentioned "official map editor" is fiction there was none. ![]() The final, downloadable patch updates the game to 1.21, so it is not to be used on the CD retail release.

These are-in order-the initial two (2) very slightly different "pre-release demos", which were not playable and consisted of Bill Roper's narration on top of images of gameplay, the two retail demos (the first and earlier of which at times goes by the name 'Interplay Demo', as it was meant to be exclusively distributed by Interplay Corp, and even shamelessly plugs the company any chance it gets), the floppy version of the retail game, and finally the CD version of the retail game. So, to wit: there are no less than six (6) distinct "versions" of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans (not counting the various updates).
