Blizzard recently released Warcraft 2: Remastered, though not without some controversy, as the original version of the game is sadly about to be delisted from DRM-free storefront GOG. It seems Blizzard wants to make sure this new version of one of the best strategy games ever made is worth investing in, however, as the studio has just released Warcraft 2's "first balance changes in 24 years."
I put "in 24 years" in quotes because I can't independently verify exactly when the last patch went live - PC game updates in the '90s were not nearly as well documented as they are today - but the word of Blizzard's Adam Fletcher on Bluesky is probably enough to trust. At a minimum, this is certainly the first balance patch to hit the game since it was succeeded by Warcraft 3 in 2002.
