It is often mentioned (e.g. in Wikipedia and on MobyGames) that Warcraft has a built-in random map generator for skirmish battles. However, I've always had the impression that the "Random Map"/"Random Town" function just randomly picks a map from the built-in set, and does not actually "generate" anything. Can anyone clarify this matter?

How do I start this game? I downloaded the .zip file. I'm not really experienced with this type of gaming! Thanks!

You need to unpack the ZIP somewhere and then use DOSBox to run the game.
A Beginner's Guide to DOSBox should come handy in that. |

I suppose that's because you need to run SETUP.EXE first and configure the sound and music card. Still, using DOSBox is a preferred method anyway.

I got this game to work perfectly through Dosbox! Can anyone help me on how to adjust the screen size. LoL! It's tiny on my 1600x900 default resolution on my laptop.

-> Start menu -> dosbox 0.74 -> options -> dosbox 0.74 options Look under header [SDL] Adapt those lines: fullscreen=false fulldouble=false fullresolution=original windowresolution=1024x768 output=ddraw 1024x768 can be any 4/3 format that suits you ..... Or do a ALT+ENTER to go full screen, but that's usually a bad idea on a 16/9 monitor ...... [Edit] Editing dosbox conf needs a dosbox restart.
