Good Read IL, we actually resolved that on our own but you are right! We tried to play a game with computers on a normal map (we tried gow) and we could finish the game no problem. I then remembered that my friend hosted maps with new computer ai. I reinstalled with aie checked and it worked fine afterwards...

I recently experienced a weird bug during war2 games on ru. Spoony and I were trying to play comp stomp games on low res... The point of mentioning the low resources is that I always seem to drop at the same point in the game. We experienced no lag at all and no connectivity problems while hosting/creating game/etc.

I doubt there is a network issue. I am wondering if something inside the exe is triggered after a certain period of time during the game? It seems to trigger the drop as I always dropped out of the game at 3 peons...

We both had AH on, so we must have the same version of the exe...?!

Someone must ask himself what is warcraft 2? What are the basics that are learned from the very essence of the game? I always thought that war2 should be learned from campaigns first (I'm talking about a total newb). You learn relations between buildings and units and their upgrades. Each step is taught one by one. Later in the campaigns you learn to micro-manage your units more, especially catapults. You learn about expanding, resource management, unit management, scouting, and how to defend efficiently from various types of attack.

When you transpose these strategies to online play, GOW is a map that requires ALL of these skills, which are the essence of warcraft 2 IMHO. I agree that GOW is played too much, that there are other maps that are fun and can lead to very complex games. But to say that GOW isn't the future of warcraft2 is to ignore WHY the game is still alive.

I personally have played A LOT on KALI and heat back then, and GOW was the most popular map. About a year ago, i log on ru and still find out that gow/high ef is STILL the most played setup! I didn't enjoy the first games as the players got MUCH better over the years. But you know what? I got a LOT better in no time and I still enjoy learning about advanced tactics on this map as I still get beat up badly by good players.
