About Wargus

Wargus is a Warcraft2 Mod that allows you to play Warcraft2 with the Stratagus engine. The game looks and sounds almost exactly like Warcraft2. The gameplay is very close to Warcraft2’s gameplay, with slight enhancements towards Starcraft and other more modern RTS games.

Installation

On first launch you will be asked for a copy of the original Warcraft2, so that the installer can extract the data. There’s also a video tutorial on how to install Wargus.
