Server.War2.ru / new players?

« on: April 29, 2017, 10:35:07 AM »

I've been creating quite a few threads here, but that's because I have a lot of questions. Hope that's not illegal yet.

Q: How on earth do I play this game online as a newbie?

The community so far has been uninterested in playing with a "noob", as you would no doubt call me. I don't get many answers to a "1v1 newbie anyone?" call, and even if I do, the host does not set a password, so the game is immediately overtaken by server regulars and I'm the one to blame for our team's loss. Extremely frustrating and very disappointing.

There's this option: play with an IRL friend on password-protected maps. This seems to work nicely, and playing with my friend was actually the reason I got into BNE, but you can't always stay online at the same time. So if there's any other way to play with less War-crafty people, I'd really love to hear about it. Otherwise it just doesn't make any sense.

P.S.- if you sense the "lower back pain" in this post and it amuses/angers you - please don't bother answering. I'm just looking for advice from people who would be kind enough to give it.

Server.War2.ru / hotkeys and chat

« on: April 29, 2017, 08:16:45 AM »

Hi,

for some reason, I could never use the ingame chat in multiplayer games. Hotkeys don't work for me either, I have to hand-click everything. Any idea how to fix this? Maybe some people here had the same problem.
I'm running Warcraft through Wine, maybe that has something to do with it.

Server.War2.ru / (newb) anything but ogres?

« on: April 29, 2017, 01:55:41 AM »

Hi!

I've seen quite a few competitive multiplayer games here, and I can't help but ask these three questions:

• Does anyone ever play as Humans? I don't think I saw anyone. There are magic-related reasons, of course, but is it really that bad? No one cares for visuals?
• Does anyone ever build Boomdwarves/Mages/Gryphons? I've never seen anyone using any tactics other than "let this angry mob of bloodlusted ogres do the talking"
• Does anyone ever play on naval maps? If so, are battleships the "ogres" of naval battles?

Cheers!

Server.War2.ru / bots in multiplayer?

« on: April 28, 2017, 03:40:17 PM »

Hi everyone, new member here. As in "new to BNE and multiplayer".

I wonder if bots are a thing in multiplayer games. Can I team up with my friend and play against AI-controlled players? It would be much more fun than playing against each other, because of our different skill levels and a total lack of competitiveness.

If that's possible, I'd love to know how exactly can I do that.

Thanks and bye-bye! ©
