Warcraft 2 - Cheat Codes

To use any of the following cheat codes, just hit the ENTER key and type in the code then hit ENTER again. To turn the cheat off again, just repeat the process.

•DAY - Turns the entire map landscape to a lighter color.
•DECK ME OUT - Upgrades all technology. (armor, weapons, catapults, and archer or axe thrower upgrades).
•DISCO - It will give you some funky music (requires expansion disc)
•EVERY LITTLE THING SHE DOES - Gives your magic using units full mana and all applicable spells.
•FASTDEMO - Causes the WarCraft II demonstration battles and introduction movie to appear faster from the menus.
•GLITTERING PRIZES - Adds 10,000 gold, 5,000 lumber, and 5,000 oil to your resource totals.
•HATCHET - This allows your peons or peasants to cut wood with only two chops.
•IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE - All of your units are invincible to attack by everything except magical damage, or your own units.
•MAKE IT SO - Allows all buildings, units, and upgrades to be constructed/researched at a vastly accelerated rate.
•NETPROF - Horizontal red lines flash in the background of the game map.
•A NEVER WINNER - The mission will continue playing after the mission objectives have been completed.
•NOGLUES - Disables all magical traps (Orc - runes).
•ON SCREEN - Displays the entire map as if you had already scouted that area.
•SHOWPATH - Shows the entire map, but the computer A.I. for your units will react as if you have never entered the revealed areas.
•SPYCOB - Adds 5,000 oil to your resource totals.
•THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE - Warp to the end movie clip for whichever race you are using.
•TIGERLILY - Enables a "warp" code. After typing "tigerlily", you can warp to any level on the original WarCraft II CD by typing either HUMAN X or ORC X, where X is the level number that you wish to warp to.
•TITLE - Used as a switch from DOS or Windows loading sequences. Disables cheat codes.
•UCLA - Displays "Go Bruins!".
•UNITE THE CLANS - Instant mission victory.
•VALDEZ - Adds 5,000 oil to your resource total.

O.K., now you've got the list of cheat codes. There are a couple of points that I would like to convey regarding these and any other cheat codes you may discover.

Point number one: Besides ON SCREEN, SHOWPATH will also display the map. However, because it does not act as if you have explored the map yourself, your units will act as if moving into an unknown territory. If making an assault under SHOWPATH and you select an enemy unit to attack within the `shadowed' areas, your unit will merely move like a scout and end up being surprised and slaughtered. Although you know where the enemy is, your units don't!

Point number two: Some of them, such as DISCO, UCLA or NETPROF, are obviously there as jokes. However, any code that involves an increase in gold, lumber, or oil will also give that same amount to each of your opponents!

Now that you know the secrets behind the WarCraft II cheat codes, be sure to pass these added details along to anyone who will listen. The more information that the players have, the less frustration desperate newcomers to WarCraft will encounter.

Bullshit?-press enter and type:BIG BRUISER and be able to a huge 9 headed monster with four arms that can smash through the enemy's walls.Only the orc's can get the monster,for the humans type:METAL HEAD and get a large robot but it takes five men to run it it's slower than the orc's beast.

How to get a coloured name in multiplayer mode

Here's the colour thing: edit your war2.ini file through the DOS editor (Has to be the DOS editor otherwise it won't work).

Edit the section called "name = (whatever your name is)" Remember these colours:
"ctrl+C" = red
"ctrl+D" = White
"ctrl+F" = Black
"ctrl+E" = grey
"ctrl+B" = yellow
"ctrl+L" = clear
these are the only letters that work, trust me I tried them all, the others just screw up your game. To enable the changing, type a 'dummy' letter before the letter whose colour you want changed then highlight that 'dummy' letter (it will make all letters to the right of it that colour unless you make another colour change to the right of that one). Hit ctrl-P then hit one of the colours (ctrl+c, d, f, e, etc) a poker symbol should appear in the place of that letter.

That's it, good luck!
